Are all your friends grumpy about one thing or another?

Or is it just that nobody is really happy with their lot? (Apart from me. biggrin )

I find myself biting my lip to avoid saying, "Oh, just cheer up ffs!"

Phoned a mate up a couple of days ago asked if he fancied a beer. I got a half hour winge about how he feels he has done nothing with his life and feels WE need to do something. Then said he couldn't go out because his Mrs was in a mood

I said I was fine. It's just that I can't think of one friend who doesn't have something to complain about. I've got things I could complain about but I make jokes about such problems.

Aye, the joking through the rage thing is a good one... and most of my friends are fairly happy, but we're young, so I suppose we have no excuse to be grumpy and the like.

Roll on weekends, holidays and mooching off ones parents...

hehe

Give it a try, actually it's not as bad as you'd think. Although I'm not sure I did too much when I did work. Apart from surf on this place.

Hello Stranger wavey

My mates are the same....am sure it's an age thing, because I don't remember everyone moaning as much when I was younger. But back then all we really cared about was where our next drink was coming from rolleyes

Even with all I have going on in my life right now, am happy for the first time in years. I wake up happy, I spend my day happy, I go to bed happy...but I too still moan, well I am only human.

Once all your friends have mortages, and kids, life becomes a lot more serious.. So I guess they moan a lot more..... Plus these days people seem to have reduced their "British stiff upper lip" and will happily, when you ask if they are ok, tell you all their woes and worries (I am sure it used to be a "yes I'm fine thanks" and this would also include if they had just severed an artery)...

Hmmm.....every time the OP phones his 'friends' they're grumpy.

Seems that he's the common denominator. OP have you ever thought that maybe it's you that gets them so?
