Oh, You're Grumpy, Are You?

One of my few and very top tier pet peeves happens when someone at work or out in life shows up and announces to everyone present "I'm so grumpy today." I'm not talking about someone saying that and laughing at themself at the same time. I'm talking about the silent rbf stomping into the office exhuding hostile, contemptuous energy. The most common scenario I've witnessed is a low level people-manager announcing this to their (captive) team first thing in the morning. You might as well yell "Hey, everyone? I've made a decision to be a c#nt today! For no reason! So consider yourself warned." The devil in me almost always takes the bait and does whatever he needs to do to trigger the melt-down within the first fifteen minutes. I can't resist.
