At What Age Does The Grumpy Old Guy Begin

[bricker]

I am starting to see signs of impending grumpiness. It (the grumpiness) usually occurs when ever I drive into Atlanta. Is there a connection you think?

 

[JohnRippert]

Well, I am 57 and already grumpy.

 

[Onomea]

Don't trust anyone over 70 is my motto!

 

[MORSNO]

50! Fifty is when myself and coworkers started getting grumpy about more of life's events and the younger folks we see. I'm hoping around 70 is when we stop caring and just live the life we have.

AFAIK, grumpiness does not ordinarily set in before age 76. I'll let y'all know.

 

[Snapping Twig]

Been grumpy all my life. In my case it's the suffrage of fools that makes me grumpy, that and dishonest people.

Got no depth for it.

I hear ya! I have very little tolerance for idiots. OMG it's happening!

Not grumpy at 72, but I am irritable.

I went to elementary school with a few students who were already grumpy old men. They were under 10 years old. Being a grumpy old man has nothing to do with age. It is a state of mind.

I was/am grumpy starting at 17 thru 63 and counting. I think being a wonderful friendly parent is for the birds. (That is a grandparents job and right!) So my kids knew better than to intentionally make us mad! They have turned out great (and somewhat grumpy)

Turning 70 made me grumpy.

It doesn't begin, other people bring it out

I have been a grumpy old man for a couple of years now. I have no tolerance for stop lights, people driving in my lane, traffic, long lines, slow service at fast food places, talking to people that use "Ah" after every word and warm ice water.

My wife tells people that the speech filter for my brain to my mouth in worn out.

So 70 years old in the answer.

I faced my first grumpy old man accusation at the age of 23. At some point each day I usually manage to live up to it.

Grumpyness is not about age. It is a state of enlightenment! The problems of the world have been solved. But nobody will listen to me or when they do they find my solutions politically incorrect!

The question is not so much when it actually starts.

The real question is:

From what age on are the people you deal with going to accept "grumpy old man" as a valid excuse, instead of just thinking you're a jerk?

 

[Kanewpadle]

This pretty much sums it up.

I started getting grumpy a few years ago, but decided to get over it. I'm 57 now and not grumpy, despite getting old.

I work with a guy a year younger than me who is the grumpiest most miserable person I know.

It isn't about age. Its about attitude.

i'm 69.92 and all my wives have said I was grumpy back to my early 20s. my wife hates to ride with me cause I get real grumpy over stupid, texting/talking on the phone people who don't know or care there are other people on the road. that and kids on cell phones walking in the middle of the street. she hates it when I sit on the horn and scare the stuff out of them. lee
