Are you cheerful or a grouch?

[grinningghost]

Today I helped DD deliver papers, and I've done it before too. Each time I deliver papers, I find there are exactly TWO kinds of people on her route:

The friendly, cheerful people

The grouchy, grumbly people

The friendly cheerful people say "thank you" or "thanks" or "weather is great today, isn't it?" as you hand them their paper.

The grouchy, grumbly people grab the paper and either mumble something under their breath or say absolutely nothing at all.

In other words, many of them are very much like DISers.

The other ones could NEVER be DISers. Or could they???

Are you friendly to people or are you kind of a grouch?

Depends on whether or not I have had my coffee!

Seriously, DH thinks I am pretty cheerful, but I definitely have some grouchy moments. Since I work in association management and have lots of contact with people, I have learned to internalize my grouchiness until I can vent appropriately. Besides, being nice to people usually makes my grouchiness evaporate.

I'm friendly and very polite!

Practically perfect! ...okay, I guess not!

Practically perfect - just like Mary Poppins!

I try to be cheerful and polite. It is harder some days than others though.

Of course!

Depends on the day. Sometimes it even depends on the hour. I can change pretty frequently.

I'm usually cheerful! And even if I'm not, I try to be a cheerful grouch!
