I entirely agree.
I think, as you get older, your tolerance for nonsense decreases, and your willingness to say so increases.
That is personified by Victor in 'One Foot In The Grave'.
I have always believed that people's perception of him as 'grumpy' is incorrect.
What he is, is someone who simply wants things to be as they should be, and he has an unwillingness to accept simple stupidity and injustice, and a corresponding willingness to call it out when he finds it.
It's the hallmark of all the wonderful 'trapped' comedy characters, Hancock, Steptoe Junior, Fawlty, they are all surrounded by idiots, and shout out at it all day long.
I am getting the same, and I am quite happy about it, which, paradoxically, actually makes me less grumpy.

It's possible. Many people settle into a routine, which they live their life by. I believe that having a routine way of living saves you having to think. If a routine, that has long been established, is disturbed, the person concerned is grumpy, because they have to alter their way of thinking, or their way of living.
