to feel a bit sad for the grumpy hipsters on holiday

[FatherHenderson]

We're in a very naice holiday town in the south west. Most holiday makers seem to be pretty happy to be here and are pleasant; the walkers say hello, the posh people off the massive boats seem quite cheery, the young harassed families all seem grateful for a smile, but my god, the London hipsters are so bloody miserable...

Everyone else manages a hello, or holds gates open, but the folk with asemetrical hair seem intent on scowling at everyone.

I'm not saying you should talk to people on holiday but AIBU to think that when you are on holiday, you should at least try not to be so bloody miserable?

it's not cool to smile.

Everybody who is anyone knows that

now buzz off you country bumpkin with your inane grin

What an odd generalisation to make!

I have assymetrical hair. I don't think I'm miserable.

Even us miseries like a change of scenery for our scowling and ennui.

Personally, I find the Isle of Wight particularly good for sitting about smoking and despairing if this is all there is to life.

I'm sure you are not, because you love Sooty.

But it just struck me that there is a sense of camaraderie amongst lots of people in the pub, apart from a couple of families who are obviously trendy and they seem a bit cut off, if not quite rude. A bit sad really.

I have asymmetrical hair. I think I'm too old for it. On reading this I must be too nice as well as I always say hello and hold gates open.

the Isle of Wight could drive even the jolliest Grundy to sad-eyed introspection

I've just washed my hair. I just KNOW it's going to be nothing short of assymetrical tomorrow. I'll still smile at folk though.

It's an ironic holiday. They aren't there to enjoy it.

See, mummylion, I think that is wonderful. I think that it is my insecurities coming out. I already feel a bit frumpy, so when my gate -holding cheeriness is dissed, I fear it is a comment on my body warmer.

I'm sure your body warmer is very cosy.

I hadn't thought that I might be too old for my hair. One if the directors at my company did ask me last week if I'd joined the Human League though.

Maybe it's the lack of penny farthing bikes

It's cos the beards and twirly Moustaches are itchy in the heat.

I'm sure you are not too old. You always have to fight the urge to just go for the good old Delia Smith haircut.
And the Human League were wonderful. Phil Oakey is aces.

I'm very fond of my body warmer. It is from a young person's surf wear company. I have ditched the Joules one...

Have just realised your holiday in UK. So heat is obviously not a problem!

YY the sea spray and sea mists must play havoc with their beards.

Sadly there is not too much elaborate facial hair. I would love to see some of the boys with the really skinny jeans with low crotches get over a stile on the South West Coastal Path.

Yes, it is cold and pissing it down. Happy days...

I live in a seaside town in the south west. Most of the London hipsters you'll find here actually live here and are so miserable because of the bloody tourists!

A hipster near me cycles a penny farthing. How does he get up on the saddle I dream of asking him as he whizzes past.

Are you sure they're not locals?

maybe the dampness is messing with their asymmetrical hair, annoys the hell out of me that does

It must be hard riding your penny farthing around the narrow streets of St Ives.

YANBU

I have not once but twice personally witnessed spectacular rudeness on the Fowey passenger ferry. And once in the fishmongers. All three perps were of a Hipster persuasion.

I think they had been scoping the High St for pop up mindfulness organic fish finger flavour cereal cafe opportunities, and were bitter at the lack of empty retail units. Bloody Hipster Chancers.
