I know there is pedants corner but I was wondering if there was anywhere where like minded people who want to complain about words like amazeballs, and other grumpy things can go and be grumpy without being told to get a life?

Yes, and as I've got older I agree with more and more of it. We do need a grumpy corner.

I'm in. Back in the day, when the fields were green etc etc that's what is liked about AIBU. Not so much now.

So can I grumble about the Christmas ads? I've got used to Xmas shopping in August, but surely surely the TV advertising didn't used to start on bonfire night?

But this is the problem Jingle a perfectly ordinary thread about people using words like upcycle turns into a 'you are a bunch of cunts' thread.
I want to be able to complain about things like that without being told to get out more.
What we need is an AIBU where everyone agrees that the OP is being perfectly reasonable, and can join in with a 'and what's more........' or 'and another thing......'

If fact thats what I think it should be called, 'and another thing.........', then its not just women or old women.

But we want to be grumpy in peace , and in AIBU there are people who might have the temerity to tell us we're actually unreasonable.

Yes to the Christmas before Bonfire Night. I am just not feeling festive yet. Surely one can only start thinking about Christmas when I'm a Celebrity begins and you can see who's advertising Iceland this year? Who will join Peter Andre?

I'm not asking if I'm being unreasonable, I am. It's everyone else who is being unreasonable.

Is there space for not-too-old grumpy pedants?
If so, here's one!

Budge up y'all, completely irrational and grumpy woman comin' through...

I am furious about teensy-tiny parking spaces where you have to execute a 9-point turn to get anywhere. Why don't they make them all a one-way system and do angled parking spaces? Bunch of idiots...

I'd like it to be called 'And Another Thing...'

Proper actual real swear words are allowed, like twat and cunt. (I also like twunt)


The thing is that unlike AIBU, I give not a shit what any one thinks.
When someone posts on AIBU they are canvassing opinion, when you post on Grumpy its going to be agree or fuck off.
So if someone starts a thread entitled 'Peter Andre is a twat' or 'I don't like the John Lewis ad' don't join in if you love the things the thread are about.
However, if you would like a good old moan about the subject then knock yourself out.
It's not a forum for discussion, just agreement.
