              A grump revels in being difficult and obtuse. Often found hiding in caves in Scotland, away from direct sunlight. Guaranteed to rain on your parade at every turn, these bad tempered creatures (often bearded and mustached) have a an undoubted place in society.....to counter life's over optimistics.

                    Stupendously stubborn know-it-all gits who seem almost religious in saying no to anything that does not match their opinions and outlook. Can easily be found in most technical departments of new media companies.
