NATIONAL GROUCH DAY ACTIVITIES

1. Whine a little
Unleash that inner grouch — only to be really happy and grateful the rest of the year!

2. Share your sense of humor
Are you good at cracking cynical jokes? Do you have a dry sense of humor? National Grouch Day is the perfect day to show off your talent on the Internet.

3. Watch an episode of "Sesame Street"
Chances are — when you watch Oscar the Grouch on TV — he may lighten your mood!

I'll be grouchy in my own damn time. Thank you very much. The nerve. Hop. Jump. Fold. Spindle. Mutilate.

14. How about this one...

Sick of hearing my friend talk about her shitty ex boyfriend constantly. You know how annoying it can be and especially when you give all the advice there is? That he was a shitty person and didn't deserve you? But yet...it's constantly brought up every...fucking...day...that's all I gotta say about that. I love her, but it's annoying.

[Phentex]

15. Yep. I know that one...

generally stops when someone new comes along and then that's all they talk about. IF they talk at all since they are so busy with the new person...

[vercetti2021]

16. Yeah can't wait since I believe the next person is already here

Since she has brought him up already...I wanna see if she'll start becoming distant again with this fella. I nearly lost my friend because of her ex and his manipulation bullshit.

18. You picked a good day for it

I had to run over to Sprout City today, and both the German AND the Belgian train systems had total meltdowns.

I got up at 5 AM, left the house at 6 AM, as usual on days I have to be there, and start my trip from home.

Due to an accident on Friday destroying the tracks on the fast route between Frankfurt and Köln, plus the usual band of organized thieves slicing through a few hundred meters of valuable copper electrical lines on the Belgian fast route between Aachen and Liège, instead of getting to Sprout City at 9:30 in the morning, I got there three hours later.

Then one of the two appointments I went there for canceled until Thursday. So I went to Brussels North and got the 2:30 PM train back to Germany, which was 20 minutes late. Due to the fact that the Belgians hadn't yet replaced the copper cables on the fast route, it was the slow route back to the German border. Then, after leaving Aachen (the border stop) for Köln, they told us there was a hostage situation IN the Köln train station, and nothing was going in or out of there.

After a couple of hours of waiting and getting shuttled back and forth on overcrowded commuter lines trying to find a route back to Düsseldorf, at 7:45, a commuter train was allowed to go all the way through to Köln (hostage taker got carted away critically wounded, but his hostage only got a scratch). Getting off there, I saw one train heading to Düsseldorf at about 9:00 PM. I jumped on it, not knowing when the next chance would be. It was more crowded than the Tokyo subway, and I had to stand the whole way. Finally getting off at Düsseldorf at 21:25 (9:25 PM), I got a commuter train (they run every half hour on the half hour in the evening) back to my little town outside Düsseldorf. Instead of being back at 5:30, I got home at 10:00 PM.

Some days, you're just better off staying in bed.

20. Wish I could find the rest of this cartoon ...

Pogo: How does you porky pines hug yo' chillun ?
Porky: Don't hug. Don't like anybody enough to hug 'em.
Pogo: Hoo hoo ! Does you porkypines ever roll over in yo' sleep and stick yo' own selfs ?
Porky: Yes an I'm GLAD !! Serves me right ! -- Don't like anybody.

22. Grouse

23. I'm grouchin on limited oxygen...

I can barely breathe. Someone in this dang commuter train that I am captive in for 50 minutes cannot control their anal sphincter. No joke some is blowing them every 30 to 60 seconds. All I can do is cover my nose with hands and/or shirt to try to filter it, resticting my air intake. Disgusting! This is not the first time I have been subjected to this olfactory assault. Jeezus, this person must've ate a bean farm, fuk.
Amen, my stop is approaching.
Next time I think I'm gonna make a scene, stand up and announce, please people, for the sake of decency, control your sphinters on the train or use the toilet onboard.
Yes, I'm grouchy.
