A new study says that people become grumpier after age 50.

Of course I'm grumpier! I've had half a century to practice it. Now I'm expert! Now as for the other six dwarfs...

I am not 50 but when I become 50 I hope I do not become grumpy. I already sorta am now at 28 and I deff. don't want to be anymore let alone my entire life. That just is not fun sounding to me.

you'll be fine:) patience tends to become shorter as you advance in age.

It may be true that you have less patience after the age of 50 but I think it really becomes an issue after your reach 60 and can continue to increase beyond that. There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to people though. My mother was grumpier before she retired, most likely due to the pressures of working. She became much happier and more patient after she retired and is still a very sweet and happy person.

I dont think I've got any grumpier since I passed 50 (tho' of course, it could be that I just dont remember what I was like all that time ago). I work with a lot of old people and most of them would lose hands down to stroppy teenagers in a "grumpy" competition

M not yet 50 but i want to say that it is not grumpier but to see the younger making a certain judgement that can be solved within minutes into hours thats make the 50s start give their opinion in a mumbling aka grumpier. Just like mothers they dont actually nag but telling.
