Are you a Grumpy older person?

TheCatWoman

I remember that tv program years ago called Grumpy Old Men, they did a Grumpy Old Women one too, it was so funny.

I'm definately grumpy and I'm getting grumpier the older I get, things make less sense, they keep bringing out "new and improved" things when the old ones were perfectly good. 

Why can't you just plug things in and have them work anymore? Everythings such a faff and no I don't want a relationship with my fridge, toaster, other household appliance, I just want it to work and do as it's told, I don't need my fridge trying to comunicate with my mobile phone to make a shopping list to send to tesco for me! I want my toast well done on both sides and a knob to twiddle so as everyne can have toast the way they like it.

I'm grumpy about socks too, I mean why are the ankles so tight, even ones that are meant to be for diabetic people, has the nations ankles got narrower in the last 50 years?

Are you grumpy and what about?

  • While I've always been somewhat abrasive, I've found life I increasingly intolerable as I've matured. I say matured - in my head I'm still 15 or whatever. 

    Anyhow, this weekend has been particularly tough in terms of just being a stream of negativity and frustration, which generally comes out in the comments I make and questions I ask when with my family. None of it is particular nice. 

    I can't keep being like this  - I've actually got to the point where I wouldn't want to be anywhere near me if I was someone else. I don't want to be this negative so need to make a change somehow; I don't want to be this bitter.
