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
"Speed Demons, Jesus Loves you. Everybody else thinks your an *******"
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.
