National Cranky Co-Worker Day is celebrated annually on October 27th. Almost every office has that cranky co-worker who always has something negative to say. This day is the perfect opportunity to ignore their usual complaints and enjoy a lighthearted break from their grumpiness.
“Establish and maintain good working relationships with co-workers. You don’t have to be friends, but you do have to be friendly.” – Judy Smith

History of National Cranky Co-Worker Day
Ruth and Thomas Roy of Wellcat Holidays in Lebanon, PA, established this day to honor all those cranky co-workers who complain and cause tension year-round. A cranky co-worker is someone who benefits from your hard work but never acknowledges it. No matter how good you are to them, they often find a way to disrupt your day. Such individuals aren’t concerned with the smooth operation or productivity of the company, focusing instead on their grievances. This day is dedicated to these colleagues who always have something negative to say or complain about to others. It’s a chance to let them be with their grumblings while you take a break from their attitude, allowing yourself a day of peace and quiet.
