Overly positive/nice people, I'm sorry I really do not trust them and believe that they are actually hiding what they really feel.

There are snivelling little 'positive, everything is great, I'm such a great guy/gal' people at work and I really hate that character type.

How do you guys feel about these people?

We have them at our work. They think it gets them noticed and up the pole quicker.

They cry when they are alone.

Yep, anyone who is relentlessly cheerful is full of shit. Everyone has bad days and denying reality makes you an idiot. There's a sales account manager I've dealt with who is like that - cannot relate to him or trust him at all. Everything is so positive and great. All the time.
No, no if fucking isn't.
On a speculative note, it can't be good for health to be like that.

Meh, I've got more important things to think about rather than whether someone else's happiness is genuine or not.

I'm not a massive fan of people who virtually sing, "Good morning!", at me though.

We have one at college. Sick

And I have to talk to her on a weekly basis. She's the 'let-me-help-you-plan-your-future-woman'(official title)

She's so fake and smiley about stuff, what's annoying is that she was at my school too for the same thing, while I was in 6th form and last years of compulsory education, so I've had to speak with her for the last 6 years. Brick Wall

The workshop tutor reckons she doesn't get shafted enough so all her pent up rage needs to get hidden away behind a false smile. She denies it and laughs it off. He just doesn't care anymore, retiring in June. Mr. Green

Colleague at work. When I first started there, he was so miserable, cynical, sarcastic - a proper larf.
Now his life is going right for him, he's genuinely happy and bubbly to the point it's gonna be me or him one of these days - AND he knows it, AND he winds me up about it.

God I hate happy people!

We have one at the moment. Doesn't really bother me to be honest; the office is usually silent without her so it makes a nice change.

On the flipside of this, people like me that are cantankerous fuckers are well liked?

I often find a quiet little spot in the bar/coffee shop/library etc, put on my best, I'm miserable so fuck off and leave me alone face and pretty much every time someone I know comes along, sits down and tries to make small talk. I Look up from my paper and let out the most indignant sigh I can muster, but still the fuckers chat away.

Maybe I should try being overly positive. It might scare them off so I can read the news in peace.

Ex was a firm believer in 'The Secret'

How the fuck I put up with that utter UTTER drivel for as long as I did I don't know...






...Oh yeah I remember she had a nice rack and can cook.

It's well known that the way to stop someone sitting next to you on a bus or train is not to ignore them and look unfriendly, but to make eye contact and smile broadly at them as they walk down the aisle, perhaps raising your eyebrows slightly.

I am a grumpy sod and any project I get involved in will see me ripping all the smiley happy people to shreds as I point out every minute thing that could ever go wrong.
I get asked onto a lot of projects, why?
Because I actually look, analyse, measure and predict what can go wrong and come up with solutions that will save the project.
The time to get excited is when the job is over and has worked not whilst it is being formulated.

I'm a miserable bastard at work. Sarcastic as fuck and can always see the down side of anything. I also take the piss big time skitting people. I sometimes take my quacking cuddly duck in under my arm and have that quacking answers at people. Looking for a proper rubber chicken at the moment to take to work. The finger puppets really took the piss when I had to consult them on everything I did.
I also like to deny that I have said or done something even though I had just said or done it just to make an argument.

I like being grumpy.

The people that piss me off are excessively negative people.

I am a positive person. I try to always looks for the good in everything. I try hard not to sit and bitch and moan about politics, immigrants, cost of bread. I also try to not let that positivity burn itself off onto other people.

I work with 2 people who seem to feed of off negativity though. Its just all day constant moaning.

'Traffics shit. Blacks are shit. Fucking mossies. Did you see xyz bad thing / scandal in the press today? Had it coming I say!'

Its just endless. Its demotivating. Some days are worse than others, but when i am sat in a room listening to it all day it drives me fecking barmy.

By the time I get home I am so worn out with the negativity, I cant listen to anymore. If my missus tries to say anything negative about anything to me my brain just switches off and I ignore her.

Feel free to be a miserable negative fucker. But dont impose it on other people.

I'm gonna rant about the ex again.

One of the contributing things to our split, was the over-emphasis on 'it will happen... if I really REALLY want it... maybe not now, but it'll happen SOME DAY!'

We both applied for jobs at the same company, me being pessimistic, negative, and going in with the attitude of, 'I probably won't get it, but fuck it, i'll try anyways... but i'll be shit'

Where she firmly believed in destiny, it was meant to be her, it's gonna happen for sure, positive thoughts bla bla etc. etc.

Guess who got the job Smile

Whilst being a younger grumpy old man and sorta contradicting my earlier post, I do actually believe in this. Excessively bitchy people can fuck right off Thumbs Up

Nothing wrong with having a positive mental outlook on yourself, but I think its fine to shout and break things now and again.

Women Cry, Men punch walls. It helps!
