At What Age Does The Grumpy Old Guy Begin

[Model 19 6"]

My wife has made me grumpy from day one.

 

[Ivan the Butcher]

When riding with me, my wife starts telling people who can't possibly hear her to pay attention to Traffic instead of the phone!

I am not sure if grumpiness is contagious or is Imparted (like a spiritual gift), but it is spreading!

Grump is a subjective term. My wife, a soft spoken Texas gal says I'm grumpy. Me, being a generally loud mouth, opinionated Italian from NJ see it as me being me. Joe

Driving in to Atlanta, it maybe road rage instead of grumpiness. I dislike driving up 75 toward Atlanta every time I have to and try to find a way around if possible.

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

Wait, hold on!

There's supposed to be a speech filter, between my brain and my mouth?

This explains a whole lot of things!

Grumpiness is a acquired art. Have no tolerance for most nonsense. Was told I slapped the doctor back when I was born.

Without a doubt I was a serious grump before this century stated. Work at it hard and steady and you too can be a serious grump/curmudgeon.

I decided that rather than look at it all and scowl, I would look at it all and laugh. After all who is really going to care in a short 100,000 years. We are just a quick blink of time. Enjoy it

It's Atlanta. We just made the 750 mile trip from Miami to the mountains and the only topic involving worry is Atlanta. What time should we plan to be driving there, should we go around on 285 or take the express and HOV lanes through, why don't you go I-95 and up through Columbia ? It's definitely Atlanta.

In 2002 my daughter graduated and accepted an a job with an accounting firm in Atlanta. "Dad, when are you coming for a weekend visit?" After that weekend I told her that was my last Atlanta visit.
One can be 16 years old, drive in Atlanta, and have every right to be grumpy.

Don't trust anyone over 70 is my motto!

And once you turn 70 you will say: Don't trust anyone under 70.

 

[BAM-BAM]

I'm not grumpy....... just tired of other folk's BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Turnriver...... driving I 95 will make any sane man crazy............... at least the stretch from DC to Richmond

 

[sureshotbob]

I'm not sure if age has anything to do with it.
I was born on my Mom's birthday and she was Grumpy as far back as I can remember.
So I've been grumpy most of my life when people around me are idiot's.
Even my kid's call me Grumpy Bob instead of Grampy Bob when talking to my grandkid's.

When I was in my thirties, a colleague dubbed me a "young fogey." I made the mistake of telling my then-wife what he said. I'm 58 now and she still teases me about it. Our middle child is fourteen and just like me. She calls him that, too.

If you drive by the front of my house when I am out there working, you get a "Slow down!!!" 5mph or 100mph, it just cracks me up.

 

[BearBio]

First, regarding Atlanta and "grumpiness": The most common mistake people unfamiliar with statistical analysis is to mistake correlation for causation. Because two things occur together does not necessarily mean one causes the other. On the other hand, I HAVE been in Atlanta...……….

Second, my grumpiness started about 16!

 

[walkin jack]

I think that would vary with the individual. My late FIL was in his mid 40s when I met him and he was already and had been grumpy for years. Then again, I'm 75 and still the warm hearted, open minded, easy goin', loveable guy I've always been.

Crabby old fartage (COF) can begin at almost any age, from what I have observed. My brother displayed significant COF by age 30.

A man must be diligent to avoid COF.

Crabby old fart (COF)

A man must be diligent to avoid COF.

Should be: A man must be diligent to remain a COF.
