A grumpy old man

[suityou01]

This is what I am now tagged as. And I've noticed it over the years. No longer happy go lucky, no longer carefree.

Asda annoys me. People bashing their trolleys into mine as they are not looking where they are going. People in general. Ignorance and bad manners.

I know SY02's dad (Grampa) is grumpy, he's allowed to be, as he's pushing 60. But at the tender age of 34 should I really be this bad?

Sometimes I just need peace and quiet, a glass of wine and a good book. Not condusive when you have 3 kids running around.

Bit worried I'm turning into a grumpy old twat.

Advice please.

Advice please.

A man who fights himself will never win.

Punch people that do that hard in the face. Twice. They won't do it again and will be alot more courteous in future. Keep doing this every day if need be.

Conversely I've developed a GAS atitude as I've got older, when I see grumpy old farts drifting through life they give me all the inspiration I need.

What my bitch says.

You need to stamp your authority on things. I mean, I've just come back from a village fete where I won three coconuts on the coconut shy with just six balls.

'The maximum win is two coconuts per go' said the little old lady with a steely glare.

I glared back, looked back at the family, two kids, one adult, looked back at the old lady with a steely glare and she crumbled

'Oh have three then' she conceded, beaten, broken, close to tears.

You have to let people know who's boss.

I've just come back from a village fete where I failed to win any coconuts on the coconut shy.
I burst into tears and the little old lady with a steely glare took pity on me
'Oh have one then' she smiled, knowing she had made a special person very happy.

Based on those criteria I've always been a grumpy old twat. Or perhaps my parents did a better job than they thought?

My advice would be to be overly polite to the offender. It may be wasted on the offender, but it won't be lost on the other people around who will start sniggering at them.

The criteria is wider than that I'm afraid. I'm grumpy at home too.

It's because you have three kids and another on the way. You're all making yourself miserable.

Why not just run away from your responsibilities and live on a Kibbutz in Israel selling sexual favours to lonely Jewish backpackers as you've always dreamed.
