This was going to be grouched about anyways, but now it’s in the honor of proudyungerman… anyhoo, here goes:

 Isn’t it annoying when you reach out to someone to grouch, and then he goes and turns it into an entire grouching session for him? 
Gosh, almost makes me want to vomit slugs or something.

almost makes it not worth grouching in the first place....

Was a little floored by Vehkam's suggestion above not to grouch…I asked Meta how to respond. Here goes:

"Oh, don't be tame, let your grumble ignite,

Unleash the fury, and let your discontent excite.

Life's a dumpster fire, and sugarcoating's a fraud,

So embrace the grouch, and let your anger explode.

Complain, snarl, and let your irritation seethe,

For in the grouching, your true feelings will breathe.

It's a way to vent, to rage and to despise,

And show the world, you're not some cheerful, naive surprise.

So don't hold back, let your grouch flag fly high,

And show the world, your grumpy, grouchy, bitter sigh.

For in the grouching, you'll find a dark, twisted glee,

A chance to be nasty, and make everything a misery

Note: Please keep in mind that this poem is intended to be humorous and not meant to be taken seriously. Grouching and being nasty can be harmful and damage relationships, so it's important to find healthy ways to manage emotions and communicate effectively.”

Ad Kan.

And I think I disagree with the “note” at the end…

I have no words to describe how much I despise the decision I have to make in front of me. It's not a hard decision per say but I feel like it was made just to **** with me because it ticks all the boxes of somthing that would confound me and make deciding for me just an impossible task that I hate everytime I think about it plus I am on a timelimit to decide so but it's just going back and fourth in my head weighing all the pros of each side then all the cons... asking for advice from people being unsatisfied with the answer because I don't like both options to begin with.... **** this... why me??? Lol I find humor in how much this annoys me but stillI hate it... gahhh

Flip a coin and move on buddy. 

(Disclaimer: taking advice from the grouchery is guaranteed to end badly.)

Whatever happened to drawing straws?!

Here's something irking me since I got to know GYE, I'd love to open a thread on the BB forum (for the exclusivity), but I can't think of enough to complain about in my marriage. Of course we have our disagreements, but nothing compared to some legendary threads.
Maybe I'll make up some sob story. 


Wow, this place is awesome. Thanks @BenHashemBH for sending me to this candy store.

Welcome to the thread of all threads. The place where etiquette is ignored . Until you say something that someone gets annoyed at.
May you slide down the banister of happiness and get many splinters of success up your career

That my fiend is not nearly grouchy enough to be seen in these parts, maybe you should go open a thread titled "The happery", trust me, that, will be pretty exclusive.
