Wouldn’t that be “curmudgeonophobes?”

Believe it or not I was just thinking the same thing and planning to correct it.

They always said we think alike.
So what would you call the person who told the kids to “get off the lawn” who then felt guilty for being a curmudgeon?

A self-hating curmudgeon? A conflicted curmudgeon? A schizomudgeon?

People who think they have a license to be an a****** because they are from the east coast.

Not a peeve, but I have a coworker from NYC who is really a delightful person, very kind, fantastic in healthcare.
She said it’s taken some adjustment to being in Utah because everyone here is polite - which is good - where back in NYC she easily knew who to avoid, since the east coast style is brutally honest, up front.
Out here people are polite, but there’s sometimes a gossip aspect she can’t see as easily. It’s messed with her “radar”, you could say.
Fascinating take, one I would never guess in a thousand years.

Probably a lot more passive/aggressive behavior here also.

Being tied to someone else’s travel and visit agenda to a place I don’t like going to. Going to Vegas for a funeral sucks all on its own, but it’s part of life. Spending extra days there because someone else wants to, and it’s not like there is an actual plan of things to do for the extra time is a whole new vortex of suck.
Driving down the day before the funeral, attending the funeral the next day, then driving back on Sunday (even maybe Monday) is about what is OK. Adding two more days just because is a no bueno.

Las Vegas is and always has been, one of my least favorite cities, my condolences for your loss and sympathy for your predicament.

As some might know here, I love the music of the Grateful Dead and have seen my share of concerts. Dead and Company are going to be playing at The Sphere, and because it’s in Vegas, I have zero interest in attending. Mostly because it’s attatched to a hotel that still allows cigarette smoking. That means the Sphere has an omnipresent acrid scent of cigarettes penetrating the whole place. Also I don’t need the money grab pricing, the hype, the Casino vibes etc. I’m sure there are perfectly lovely people who live and work in Vegas, but if I die and go to Hell, I’ll prolly wake up in vegas…

Narcissist is an overused word. I hear lots of miffed individuals referring to people who crossed them as narcissists. Actual narcissism is fairly rare.
Now I’m miffed! I was so looking forward to owning that word.

I worked with a legit narcissist. Very interesting. They’re actually very fragile, underneath the “Great Oz” exterior.
