Michigan Woman Starts The Great American Grump-Out
KALAMAZOO, Mich. (Wireless Flash) Youve heard of the Great American Smoke Out? Well, a woman in Kalamazoo, Michigan, is starting the Great American Grump-Out. Stress management expert Janice Hathy says grumpiness is a national epidemic and wants Americans to abstain from being crabby for one whole day May 22, 2002, to be precise. She says some of the biggest grumpiness culprits are snooty salesclerks, road ragers and stress-filled workplaces. To help stomp out the grouchiness, Hathy will be coordinating drive- by smilings where folks drive around flashing smiley faces at angry drivers. She also wants folks to pay Frown Fines if theyre caught being unhappy and make crabby co-workers don Crab Hats whenever they complain. Hathy hopes this first Great American Grump Out is such a success it becomes an annual event.
