Grumpy People After Thanksgiving...

We don't have Thanksgiving in Australia, but I've noticed people are like that after Christmas. I think it's a culmination of eating too much, drinking too much, spending too much - and going to too many parties. Also, having to be polite to relatives they don't see very often (and don't like very much) can cause a lot of stress - and when it's over, everyone collapses in a heap! Whew.

It could be they are grumpy because the weekend is gone and they have to go back to work. They could be fighting with family members. They could be worried about how their going to buy gifts for the holidays. But from what I gather if you are technical support for internet, me and my family get very grumpy when our internet is not working because we are addicted to it. LOL. Happy My Lotting :-)

Oh, maybe that is why my husband downloaded on me the last couple nights..I wanted to start a discussion on it, but whenever I do lately, people who have no idea what I am going through starts giving really bad advice and then they download on me, so no more of that, even though I used to get support and encouragement when I did, I guess those people moved on..Not that I didn't get any good replies on it, but the negative ones really hurt, so I don't bother anymore.. So you think maybe he is doing this because he had to go back to work after having a 4 day weekend? And besides him making me feel grumpy, my computer is too..It had been freezing up more and I have had to restart more often than before..I keep the temp files and cookie cleared and do the scanning of virus and spyware, and defragmented just 2 weeks ago..I was going to defragment again in a couple weeks, but if this continues, I may do it sooner..

Personally I think anyone would be grumpy if there was a problem with their internet. I'd definitly be grumpy. I get even grumpier when I call those call centers, because even though they're supposed to be for technical support (as in you'd think they'd have someone on the line who knows a thing or 2 about computers) they are no help at all. I usually know more about computers than the person I get on the line with, and that is so irritating. Plus, people are generally more grumpy on Mondays. Most had a long weekend, and don't want to be returning to work. I don't think it has much to do with Thanksgiving.

I'm afraid the Holiday pressure is just starting and with all the bad news coming in people are going to react worse then usual this season. Hang in there, it's hard dealing with the public. Just keep smiling, they can hear that over the phone.

Maybe it's a "sugar low" after the "sugar high" from all the Thanksgiving goodies! Could also be the after effects of too many relatives at one time!

I haven't been online till a few moments ago, My internet is a bit slower right now then usual though. Maybe they are grumpy because they had to rub elbows with family or in laws they didn't want to but had to because of the Holiday.

you could be right they just didnt want to go back to work lol but then again they could just be grumpy people!

I guess people don't want to come back to work. It is hard to come back after a person has had a good holiday with family and friends. Or maybe it is just because they have to get up early again! It isn't much fun to work with grumps, is it.

It's always like that when it comes to after long weekends.. lol =D After having so many rest days, whom will have the mood to work, when they have just adjusted themselves to non working mood.. lol =D I always hated long weekends because my whole working momentum will be affected and i dun like the feeling of rebuilding up everything again.. haha

i notice it too..... but what i seen is.... all rich people here at the philippines or should we say in the middle class are very grumpy or what should we call it....hhhhmmmm ahhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm gosh i cant think of it... anyways that it... its just that they always think that they are high or they can buy anything and people in there sorounding are look idiot for them.... i usuall notice everyone sometimes i usually seen it with my own 2 rolling eyes... but what can i do they are like that.....

The good ole between Turkey Day and Christmas rush! Everyone starts to get grumpy and crabby. Pressures to get ready for the coming holiday rushes in right after Thanksgiving. Decorations out and put up. Buying the presents we haven't gotten yet, or getting started and done before the next holiday. At least that is my opinion as to why it happens. It does seem that people get crabbier earlier these days, and there is less joy and looking forward to the Christmas celebration. I always try to keep a smile on my face even though people are being grumpy, but I hear ya. It is hard to take when it seems like everyone is snotty to you for no real reason.

hehe. in australia we dont celebrate thanksgiving day. they should be happy since they just had their weekend.

Hello yuna15 Maybe everybody is a bit stressed rather than grumpy. The stress of getting ready for thanks giving followed quickly with getting ready for Christmas! Or maybe it is that they didn't get enough time off and one day off wasn't long enough! O h well I don't really know but I do hope that your week improves. This time of year people should be happy and looking forward to Christmas like me, but then I have already finished my Christmas shopping!! LOL

I wasn't grumpy after Thanksgiving. I was ready to start getting things ready for Christmas. I used to work with grumpy people also. That drove me nuts.

If anything, I'm better for having had a nice long rest.

i think every one is realizing that they have to focus on xmas and xmas shopping now and since no one has any money then it makes them grumpy.. not to mention being around family so often makes people nuts lol
