Feeling Grumpy

What makes you Grumpy?

Today there are lots of things that can be a little irritating and frustrating at times.
The constant calls from telemarketers, poor service in shops, the lack of manners in some people today and the endless numbers you need to press when ringing a company then not getting to speak to anyone
What about all the new gadgets these days like GPS, the ever changing mobile phone, DVD's, blue ray and 3D movies. Is it hard to keep up with all the changes and updates?

Thought this might be a good topic to start some debate on this page.....

SPENDING THE KIDS INHERITANCE

It seems to be a favourite subject dragged out every now and then on the current affairs shows. You get to see some people of our age after a life time of working hard out enjoying themselves. The theme always seems to be that these people are spending the money they worked hard to earn instead of leaving it for their children.

What are your thoughts on this topic, does it make you grumpy?

This is just a fun page to let you have a say on any topic that frustrates you.
All we ask is that you keep it general, tasteful and respectful.

Lance from Goondiwindi, QLD. born 1951	"Kids Inheritance"... Inheritance is what's left over after you are finished with it. If there is anything of value left in your estate after you die, then let the kids have it; but until you die get out there and enjoy life, spend everything if you would to, after all you earned it so you spend it now while you still can. PS. I enjoy reading what others in my age bracket have to say. I can relate to most of it. Comment posted: 4th February 2012, 09:06:01 am
Lynne from Medowie born 1950	I feel grumpy that my head wants to do loads of things but the body says slow down Comment posted: 20th January 2012, 12:28:34 pm
Graham from Coffs Harbour born 1953	I'm feeling grumpy as well as all my kids now earn more money than I ever did but when it comes to my birthday they now send me a E Card or if I'm lucky I might get a text message. Has the way we communicate changed that much? Comment posted: 18th January 2012, 02:38:20 pm

Crezette Fletcher from Maryborough born 1951	It makes me grumpy that I haven't got an inheritance to spend. Comment posted: 4th January 2012, 02:24:47 pm
Robyn from Browns Plains born 1954	I thought I would start the debate and say I do feel a little grumpy when they start going on about us Spending the Kids Inheritance. After a lifetime of working hard and often giving up things for our kids it is time to have some fun and enjoy ourselves. Our children are capable of looking after themselves and hopefully we have given them the skills to do so. Lets all have some fun and enjoy what we have worked hard to acheive and ignore all this talk about SPENDING THE KIDS INHERITANCE. Comment posted: 1st January 2012, 11:49:35 am
dave b from glenrowan born 1950	To Lance, No you are not getting old, although born in 1945 I detest some of the modern electronic devices. for instance, at the cash register I try to pay cash, its so much quicker than waiting for someone in front of you with a credit card. First of all they put the card the wrong way round or upside down, then they've forgotten the pin number, or got it wrong, or theres not enough credit on their card, or the register wont read the bar code on the item and theyve got to get someone to go and check the price, all the time the queue at the register is getting longer, whereas with cash you hand it over and goodbye!!!

janelle jackson from west heidelberg vic born 1959	I agree with all these people about some of the things they are stating , I have problems with door to door salespersons who try and tell me I don't have the right server servicing my electricity/gas or internet /phone services i actually have to get someone else to deal with them as I can't comprehend what they are saying to me. People who dump bags full of rubbish or broken items in the reserve accross the road from where I live, also when I go out and eat at a shopping complex some people just leave their take away food , plates cups etc on the table its disgusting , they are so lazy they can't even put their rubbish in the bin so the next person can sit at the table and have a clean top to place their own food on, also persons that deface ,building walls , fences,poles etc just because they have nothing better to do with themselves Comment posted: 19th November 2011, 03:29:22 pm
Gary from Geraldton born 1951	I get grumpy when you ring companies and are put on hold with the message saying "your call is important to us and you are placed in the que thank you for waiting" this is repeated every few seconds as you wait for a real person to answer.

Lance from Goondiwindi, QLD. born 1951	I'm with you Kat on the following, Talking to machines on the phone. Anybody who chew gum with their mouth open. Impatient or rude drivers, leave home earlier! Infomercials and so called reality TV. Spam. and another one... My internet connection when it drops out or slows down. Is there anybody else out there who has trouble with today's modern electronic gadgets; or is it just me? Am I getting old or something? Comment posted: 6th October 2011, 08:49:42 am
