Does cycling attract a disproportionate number of grumpy so and so's?

[nickyboy]

All these Christmas threads and the grumpy so and so's come out of the woodwork and show their true colours......

"How much for a tree????"

"I'd rather go out for a bike ride on my own on Xmas day than spend it with the relatives"

"I don't want any presents and if someone tries to give me one they can fark right off"

So, is becoming a grumpy so and so just part of getting old? (I do wonder the average age of regular CC posters). Maybe they've all been lurking waiting to explode with indignation at the sight of a November Christmas decoration.

Or maybe, just maybe....cycling attracts disproportionately grumpy participants?

Pls Note: This is a Friday afternoon "cos I'm a bit bored and let's have some banter" sort of thread. Now't too heavy, OK?

No, grumpiness is rife throughout the population.
I don't usually listen to Jeremy Vine, but today there was a hilarious item from aggrieved residents somewhere in England regarding their local council Christmas tree. Some complained it was too small, but the councillor told us it was a live tree and would grow, prompting someone else to complain that when it had grown it would block the light from the residents of No. 26, on and on it went.

What I don't get is those that moan about threads they don't like, grumpy gits.

Perhaps we should have a referendum on whether we have Christmas from now on or not, I will certainly vote for Crexit.

Well, I've got people I wouldn't cross the road to see (on fact, I'd cross the road to avoid them!) but others I'd go to the end of the world for.
Or NZ, which is about as far as you can go without getting NASA involved.

When you get to my age you have a RIGHT to be grumpy,
so sod off and mind your own business

Love xmas but truth be told if i could get away with dodging xmas dinner and taking the MTB out in the forest, trust me i would ;-)

only to return for xmas pudding covered in cream and a large helping of cheese and wine, bit like the cake i would have at the cafe only nicer!

The only thing that gets me annoyed is dealing with idiots. Hence any posts on here after a few minutes of being online can see me getting grumpy.

What age can you typically see the onset of grumpness?

My Dad was an archetypal grump. He would have fitted right in here. I don't think I am a grump but we all eventually turn into our parents don't we?

Funny you should post this just now (not)! I'm currently trying to dig the bloody xmas decs out of the bloody loft space where they are buried by all the other bloody crap we only use a couple of times a bloody year! And another thing. Why is it always bloody muggins here that has to sort out all this bloody tat? It is the same when it is time to put them away. Everyone chips in to make sure they are taken down quickly, but guess who has to sort the bloody pile of crap out into boxes and hump it up two flights of stairs to the bloody roof space!

Bloody Christmas, bloody humbug, bloody grumpy fecker!

Merry Christmas to you all
