Two prepositions do the work and they do not overlap: introduces the grievance, the person hearing it. manĝo puts both in one sentence and is the shape worth memorising. The verb is intransitive, so nothing takes -n. o is a complaint, a describes the sort of person who makes them habitually, and a is a state genuinely worth complaining about, which is a distinction English has to spell out at length.
