From Denny: Curmudgeons, pessimists, you name them how you like, we all have them in our lives. They may be our boss, a co-worker, the grocery cashier, a family member who you would like to ditch - but you are related to them. (Hint: Ditch them anyway. You will live longer and happier.)
These crazy quotes from the black hole negative people are hilarious. What a dark outlook on life! And who would we more optimistic types who enjoy laughing have to lampoon if not for these guys? See, there is purpose in the world.
