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.

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!

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.

I'm 68 and have been grumpy for so long I can't remember when it started. There's so much to be grumpy about these days it's hard to have enough grumpiness to cover it all.

My grumpiness varies with conditions. Normally I'm a friendly, humorous guy. However, I have a very low tolerance for stupid. I can go from zero to total grump in about .006 seconds. 
These days it seems that most of the people I meet keep me in a constant state of grumpiness.

My wife said that I started to get grumpy shortly after the honeymoon was over.
Naaa, you can't trust anyone under 60.
I'm almost 82 and I resent this thread about being grumpy.
And while I'm at it, stay the h**l off my grass!

There is a sign along the creek road here that says

When I go out in the kitchen in the morning and the girls have left used cereal bowls out, the milk carton in the fridge has a table spoon of milk and the cereal box has 3 flakes in it. I remember my care free child hood so fondly.

We now know that a chemical change occurs in a man's brain as he ages. This chemical change is responsible for the onset of COF.
It's okay guys. It's not our fault. Let 'er rip...
Usually, it starts when the aches and pains become really bothersome.

Some people were born that way IMHO.

Not sure I'm grumpy, but my tolerance level for stupid people has decreased a lot as I aged.

Doug627, I'm pretty sure I was one of those grumpies you are talking about when I was a youngster. Age doesn't seem to have changed me much either. *s*

Better to be annoyed and be alive, My wife tells me sometimes I pee people off just to get a reaction. She is mostly right and it gives me something to do.Threads like this annoy me.

As I entered my early 60's my grumpiness seemed to be increasing rapidly.
Then, right about age 64 I was forced into early retirement and decided to accept and embrace it rather than look for another job just to make it to my so called "full retirement age" according to Social Security.
Suddenly, my grumpiness reversed course. Removing long standing irritations from 1/3 of my day seemed to be the antidote.

IMO Age has nothing to do with it. Grumpiness starts with urinary problems!
Our life circumstances have been somewhat similar. Retiring when I did was the best move I ever made.
Atlanta traffic makes everyone grumpy, no matter what your age is.
