At first, I decided that this T-shirt would best befit my Dad, being as it depicts a character who is both grumpy and old.
But the more I thought about it, the more I realised that this debut donation from Rakel at Warwickshire based David and Goliath is pretty well suited to me given the expletive-fueled grumbling I revel in each day. I seem to derive unmeasurable levels of joy from my pessimistic outlook and there are no shortage of stimulants for it here in the city.
For example, most shops, stores, cafes, restaurants and public outlets insist on fitting 'pull' handles on their 'push' doors, resulting in no end of squashed noses and jarred shoulders.
This ticks me off.
During rush hour, train platforms and causeways are teeming with commuters weaving dynamically between one another with the sort of precision one would suspect is choreographed. The only caveat to that are tablet/mobile users who believe it's acceptable to focus all of their attention on their devices instead of their own spatial awareness, whilst meandering along at a significantly reduced pace from everyone else.
This also ticks me off.
Then there are mandatory form fields not marked by asterisks, queue jumpers, surprise sandwich mustard, and absolutely everything about the Mac OS (which is really getting on my wick today, I must say).
The list goes on.
David and Goliath create "stupid" designs for men, women and kids sold on T-shirts as well as many other types of apparel. It was very kind of them to donate this Grumposaur design to my THREEHUNDREDANDSIXTEEFIVE challenge, as grumpiness aside, dinosaurs are rad!
