Why are some people constantly grumpy?

The_B_Man · 07-10-2009 1:58am #1

I'm about to move in with a friend of mine and his missus. The outgoing couple got casually talking to my missus today and they spilled some beans on a few things.

Now, apparently me mates missus is a complete grump! Shes in her twenties, has a job, new car, this apartment we'll be renting together is also really nice.

So why do people like this get moody all the time?? Its a pain in the arse, especially since I'm moving in after work. hopefully they were over-reacting but I get the impression they're not, since it was her cousin telling us this!

It seems its mostly the daily post-work stress thats a big cause of tension. I'm thinking now is it worth the reduced rent in a nice place with tension, instead of paying over the odds for a crap place which we cant afford.

This is AH. Of course we're grumpy. I'm almost constantly grumpy living in this godforsaken country.

TheZohanS · 07-10-2009 2:16am

Does she have a septic toe by any chance?

The whole country is down with it apparently.

The_B_Man · 07-10-2009 2:30am

no, i'm the one with the gammy toenail. it fell off while i was in thailand last year but i stuck it back on with sellotape. now it stays on by itself and even grows a bit sometimes!

it's the economy.

Probably just work stress, i know a few people who are no go area's for about an hour and a half after they finish work, but then they get it out of their system and are fine.

The_B_Man · 07-10-2009 6:37am

ye i'll have to refrain from tryin to wind her up for sh*ts and giggles! especially after a few beers!
actually, in my case with this one, apparently she has a sense of "this is our apartment, we're just letting you rent the room". They dont own the place either, they just got there first. If she starts with bossin me around i'll be gone pronto!

I've come across some miserable gits though, even before I left Ireland and before the "Big Recesh". Just people who constantly have something up their hole. I dunno how anyone can live like that. I'm totally laid back and let a lot of things slide without even a 2nd thought, but you see people getting wound up over nothing. It seems alien to me!

Maybe 3 is a crowd and she doesn't want to have to share a house with two lads. She might be able to go all psycho on the boyfriend but when there's another neutral party in the house she has to reign in the crazy.

I would say it's this bad dose that is doing the rounds these days called reality.

Can affect people of her age and the symptoms are crabbiness and raggy behaviour when they cannot have the biggest and best of everything now,loike right now.

Can also show when they haven't had a break for a week or ten days snowboarding or travelling or having a blast .

Maybe she had to get a bus somewhere or even jaysus forbid actually walk down to the shops when she normally gets taxis or home deliveries.

There are loads of reasons,maybe she can't afford the €100 euro or so you need for a quiet night in the pub.

This fcuking reality disease is very prevalent you know.

Lack of sex causes grumpiness

Maybe that's what she needs to shake her out of her grumpiness/misery ....a relaity check

IvyTheTerrible · 07-10-2009 8:58am

Some people are just grumpy feckers, unfortunately.

AnonoBoy · 07-10-2009 9:06am

Oh leave me alone with all your questions. Can't you see I'm eating a pie here?

07-10-2009 9:08am

My boss is a grumpy b*tch. I think it's because she's a pathetic lonely old hag who no one will ever love

stovelid · 07-10-2009 10:55am

It's not us grumpy people that are at fault; it's the twats we have to put up with every day that make us grumpy.

i'm grumpy becuase my job is driving me insane. i'm ok-ish for the most part outside work though.

m5ex9oqjawdg2i · 07-10-2009 11:19am

That's just the way people are bman...

If she's getting grumpy with ya, just grab her head and lick her face. See what her reaction is.

:mad: Thers nothing wrong with being Grumpy and how dare you say otherwise espically with prices the way they are

ejmaztec · 07-10-2009 4:30pm

I'm only grumpy because I can't grab hold of the grumpy feckers on the interweb and throttle 'em to cheer 'em up.

Pinky Pixie · 07-10-2009 4:43pm

I'm sick of gloomy people getting all antsy and moody when something good happens to other people or when I walk in to work in the morning with a big smilie face and everyone is all moopy because they got a bit rained on...cheer up people

Sick of gloomy news too so making this my new favorite new site:)

Maybe it's because people keep telling them things like "cheer up", "could be worse" or "it's not the end of the world" it wrecks my head when people say things like that.

Pinky Pixie · 07-10-2009 4:57pm

Yeah you are right sorry:o, when I'm pissed off and someone said that I would have a nasty comment for them alright. But I hate people taking their grumpiness out on other people, you're creating a whole cycle of misery:)

The prices can go up or down, I won't let it rule me, Money isn't the sole purpose of life.

Maybe the grumpy people have the ability to see into the future and maybe they don't like what they see.

It's why Mystic Meg is so unhappy. She has seen her epitaph and she doesn't like it one little bit
"Here lies Mystic Meg: A fraud who preyed on the weak and vulnerable and who was about as mystic as H from Steps"

ejmaztec · 07-10-2009 5:12pm

I've concluded that very happy people are either on Prozac, or have been brainwashed by a cult.

i also encountered a bloke today in work. I'm in IT. He disagreed with our procedures for re-imaging PCs. grumpy old fart! spent 20 minutes arguing with him for no reason. he was just being an arse and causing me more hassle! in the end, we went forward as originally planned!! :mad:

reckon i'll go home and start slamming doors and stuff!!

nope, but in this country it's essential to living a nice happy one.

Captain Havoc · 08-10-2009 9:38am

I haven't sold anything in work for a while, I've been droped from the soccer team but the thing making me grumpiest of all, I haven't had sex in so long I think my virginity has grown back. I think I have every right to be grumpy
