How fast do you get tired of grouches?

Daloon-stop talking about me, you little whippersnapper!

Fast. There’s nothing worse than a mellow-harsher.

I don’t have time for grouchy people.

pretty fast. Kinda just wanna throw ‘em in a trashcan

I can’t stand to be around them.

Oh, that all depends. If they are clever, entertaining grouches, I can tolerate them for a long time and might even be caught egging them on with the secret hope that eventually I can make them laugh.

If they are just crabby, ill-tempered grouches, though, I wouldn’t give them too long. In fact, I might tell them, “Sweetheart, go someplace else for a while until you feel a little better.”

Depends on how long the grouch can tolerate me.

Really, it depends on how bad they are. If they are a pissy mean, grouch – I have little tolerance. They need to step back and get over it – rejoin everyone when they can be less pissy. If they are grouchy, but slightly entertaining, let ‘em hang around, their mood might mellow, a bit.

If it’s that self-pity, pissy, whiny grouch – stay away. That describes the creepy uncle that had Thanksgiving dinner with my family. I have absolutely no patience for that, they do nothing but bring every single person (even my son) down. BLAH.

I don’t.

We all get grouchy sometimes. I’m pretty cool with it, as long as you realize you’re being a grouch, and at least attempt not to take it out on me.

It depends on the grouch. My grandmother is a pretty grouchy lady but I don’t get tired of her. My father on the other hand (shout out NevadaOldGuy) is also a pretty grouchy fellow and I tend to have a more difficult time tuning him out. Grouches I don’t know? Them I can put up with indefinitely, I have no personal investment in them, they have no impact on my life, and I can ignore them or better yet smile and ask them to have a nice day.

I guess there’s hope. It’s kind of weird being tied down, staring at the sword up there, waiting for the string to break. You’d think it would make you appreciate things all the more, and it does. But you also start wishing it would break already!

On Wednesday, my sister was telling me about a family in China. The wife and daughter were hoping that the husband’s death sentence, set for Thanksgiving day,would be commuted. He had been accused of spying for Taiwan. No one knew what the truth was.

Friday, the family was told they were going to visit him. When they got there, they were told he’d just been executed. The last message from him that they had received said that he wanted to be executed soon, and for them to get along with their lives.

I guess he got the first part. I dunno about the second.

Depends. Lewis Black is a grouch, and I lurve him. The Grinch is a grouch, and he’s pretty cool until he has this weird hypertrophic cardiomyopathy thing at the end (makes his heart oversized). Oscar the grouch is pretty cool.

If I am working with a grouch, I really don’t mind aslong as they don’t interrupt my work (if the work gets interrupted, the grouch is about to be interrupted). If I am at home, with my roomates, I usually get what it is out of them thats making them grouchy and tactfully point out that they need to get over it in a long drawen out discussion. You shouldn’t waste your lifes time in a bad mood. But at the sametime everyone needs a grouchy moment because lets face it, life can really get you down at times and people express there frustration differently. You can either sink in your bad mood, swim in it, or get out and dry off.

Never get tired of ‘em….constantly happy people on the other hand I give about 2–3 minutes :-)
