Are you a grumpy old man?

[Moodyman]

oh! and people leaving lights on everywhere or taking the car just to do 200 metres.

If I move from France to Wales I think I'd also have bouts of grumpiness.

 

[Dangermouse]

Shut up grumpy.........deal with it

 

[Fab Foodie]

Very Grumpy here .....

 

[defy-one]

Can't sleep now as my call out yesterday meant i slept until midday on xmas eve ... very grumpy! (and sober)

 

[mr_hippo]

I think I am because:
I can't stand parents asking their children what they want to eat.
Parents buying hundreds of presents their children at Christmas.
People getting completely legless because it is Christmas.
Christmas cards.
People being nice because it is Christmas.
and other things I can't think about right now.
What about you?

You should always give children a choice "Take it or leave it but if you leave it you can have it cold for breakfast!" I have heard of a mum who was sent out by her son, who did not like what his mum was serving, to get him a Big Mac so she had leave her own dinner to go to Mac D's.
My last Christmas in England before moving here, A friend spent £2000 on one of his kids so he 'had' to spend the same on his other 3 kids! He told me that he spend £6000 on junk. Let's get back to one main present, couple of stocking fillers, an annual and a selection box and ban toy adverts on the TV especially the the ones that say 'only' just before they give you the price..
I am not duty bound to send you a Christmas card because you sent me one neither am I obligated to send a card to a couple we met on holiday 18 years ago or people I have not seen for years.
You want to be nice to me just because it is Christmas? Wny can't you be nice the rest of the year? Please save your energy.

Supermarkets are only shut for one day, Do people really need 6 full shopping carts on Christmas Eve?
Ban shops from displaying Christmas goods until December 1st
People who complain that Christmas is expensive; either spend less or save up for it throughout the year
People who say 'Xmas' or 'Chrimbo'

Now here is a thought; shops are full throughout December but empty in October, why not move Christmas to October when the shops are empty?

Yes, I am a grumpy old man.

Christmas cr*p in the shops in August. It's just wrong.

T*ssers who park in disabled spaces when there is nothing wrong with them. I'd hang them.

Merry Christmas (if you like that sort of thing).

And hang the tossers that have got disabled badges that clearly are not disabled, just fat.

[GrumpyGregry]

Yep. But very little about Christmas brings out my grump.

I rather love it.

 

[EltonFrog]

...Having to buy a present from "the cat"

Hahahhahahahahahahaha. Bloody Brilliant!

 

[livpoksoc]

I'm soooo grumpy, especially when it comes to the heating.

It doesn't have to be on a 30c on the thermostat, but apparently there's a fairy that keeps turning the dial without the kids noticing.
20c it should be set to and get one of your designer jumpers if your cold....shock horror its fecking winter out there............rant over

i can agree with that...£80 for a jumper, bloody wear it
