Today is National Grouch Day! (Oct 15)

(U.S.)

Today you can...'Grouch' all you want!

To honor the world's favorite grouch, Oscar, from “Sesame Street,” National Grouch Day was created on October 15. This is a day to celebrate all the grouches we know — or to embrace the grouch that lives inside all of us.

✨  National Grouch Day ✨

(Not to be mistaken for 'Oscar the Grouch Day,' which is on June 1st. Sorry, Oscar. )

Missed National Grouch Day? Don't sweat it, your grouch license is still active. Feel free to complain about the weather, your coffee, and everything in between. Just remember, this is a limited-time offer. Enjoy your grouchiness while it lasts!'

Here are a few ways to 'get your Grouch on,' until next 'National Grouch Day:'

   Grumble Karaoke:  Instead of singing along to happy tunes, belt out grumpy classics like 'Gloomy Sunday' or 'I'm So Tired.'

   The Grumpy Gardener:  Plant nothing but prickly plants and thorny bushes. Then, complain about how much work it is to maintain them.

   The Grumpy Chef:  Cook a meal that is so bland or overcooked that it's inedible. Then, blame everyone else for not appreciating your culinary skills.

   The Grumpy Movie Critic:  Watch the most cheerful, upbeat movies and write scathing reviews about how terrible they are.

Remember: The goal is to have fun and lighten the mood. So, even while being grumpy, don't forget to smile at the absurdity of it all.  😁

Glad my Grouch license is still active - will try not to miss this day next year.

Bah Humbug - Oh, Wait, I am too early - got confused since the stores are already getting ready for that next Happy season.

I get it! I got grouchy earlier today because of... gravity. It's like I had holes in my hands, and everything just fell to the floor. Ugh!  x_X

A frown is an upside down smile!

....Guess I'm a day late.

In my defense, I work nights and was asleep when this info. came to light.

Agreed, Eric! Unfortunately for this grouch, I just missed it entirely; oh well...
