Grumpy Old Gits ?

Goonerhater

Is there any age when you officially get to be a Grumpy Old Git ? or Gitess ?

Now i know im an GoG and probably become one at about 15, but for the normal people when do u go from "moaner" to Grumpy old Git ?

PS edited see thats wot word blindness does.

if you mean grumpy, then probably when people bought a charlton athletic season ticket or signed up for charlton life membership i should imagine.

its your life telling you need to do something new, or have a change of scenery - if you do things too long you can get cynical, I suggest a new hobby, meet new people - needlecraft perhaps?

I went into a tailspin when a pint hit two quid, and haven't really come round, so I'm probably a GoG for life.

On occassions I may fall into the GOG category......but I can still put my socks on without sitting down.

I think you become a grumpy old git when you feel comfortable accossting random stranges and moaning at them about the state of the world/country/government etc and are convinced they will be interested in your point of view.

It is less about age and more a state of mind

I think it's more of a nostalgia thing - thinking that modern society is automatically worse than it was way back, while forgetting that the grumpy gits of yeaterday were lamenting how standards habe fallen from when they were kids etc.
