Hey chumps! In case you missed the memo, today is National Grouch Day. Think of it as a day to drop the “nice” act and allow your inner grouch a chance to barf all over everyone’s day. Not sure how to celebrate? A few suggestions:

1. Rant loudly and often. About anything and everything that you see, hear or do today. Let ‘er rip and get all the black sticky evil stuff you ordinarily keep to yourself out of your system. Won’t that feel lousy?

2. Find every opportunity to use the words “I told you so”. Be as condescending to co-workers, friends and family members as possible. Aim to alienate everyone you see.

3. Become a road-rager. If you’re a normally calm and conscientious driver,  plan on being that total a**hole driver who tailgates, cuts people off, refuses to use a turn signal and parks millimeters from other cars. Toss in some rude gestures and screaming for good measure.

4. USE ALL CAPS in your work and personal emails, twitters and Facebook messages.

5. Aggressively tell everyone your problems and do not let them close the conversation. Unburden yourself and make everyone within earshot feel uncomfortable and awkward.

Remember, you have 364 days to make amends to all the people you piss off today, so go forth and grouch!
