There's a Far Side cartoon on "the three personality types" where the first frame is a perky girl looking at her water saying "the glass is half full!" The second frame is a depressed looking guy saying "the glass is half empty." The third frame is a big burly guy with his arms akimbo saying "Hey! I ordered a cheeseburger!"
First it's probably good to notice how we look at it in such a one dimensional way. While demanding our order may not do any good, lateral thinking would most likely be called for. Sooner or later the diggers may tire themselves out, so you might reinforce a spot in the h*** where you can hang out for the time being, and if there's nothing to fill up the h*** with you may need to wait until those guys tire from fatigue so that you have something to step on to get out of the h***... Anyways, don't make it about the h***. The h*** is just a part of what is there, when there are other things that can be useful.
