IT'S MOANDAY!

It's the worst day of the week if you woke up on the wrong side of bed this morning, then try to find comfort in the fact that you're not alone. Monday is officially the most miserable day of the week, a survey has found. It may not be the first time such a suggestion has been made, but this time there is clear evidence. More than half of us will spend the day complaining, particularly in the morning. The average respondent in the survey spent 34 minutes moaning on a Monday morning, compared to just 22 minutes during the rest of the week. One in three people said they hated Monday more than any other day of the week. Some of the most common reasons include dreading the working week ahead, over-indulging over the weekend or having a mountain of e-mails to catch up with.

Other work related complaints include contending with a slow booting computer, getting stuck in traffic on the way to the office and the feeling that you are trying to keep everyone happy. Other factors people are most likely to moan about include being kept on hold for longer than a minute, the weather forecasters getting it wrong and poor customer service. Personal grievances such as a bad hair diary, aches and pains, feeling 'fat' and having nothing to wear also put people in a bad mood.
