It’s one of those words that sounds like what it means – and you’re right cantankerous people make the worse neighbours
Yeah it does sound like the meaning and yes those kind of people are tough to be around.
Their marriage was a cantankerous one.
How sad but a lot of marriages are like that.
Agree
Yes, unfortunately too many people fall in love first with the idea of who to be married to instead of falling in love with the person. At that point, pride and desperation rule their lives through anger.
True. I think they have this idea of what marriage will be like and by the time they realise it’s nothing like they imagined it’s too late.
Typically failing to comprehend it all logically.
Lust serves poorly for loves driver but it does make for a hell of a tourist guide! 😉
Ha can’t disagree with that! 😜
This is true, I’ve one neighbour two doors down that needs to move!
Mine killed my plants 😥
I wait on cantankerous people daily.
Wow, that must be one tough job.
Luckily, there is no cantankerous blogger.
Interesting word!!
I knew this word, but as it’s a lengthy word, I never use it. 🤪
True! Thanks and maybe this is a sign to use it more now 😄
Such a heavy word. Takes 3 breaths to say it 😂
😂
Being a perfectionist or just cantankerous.
Sometimes there is little difference between the two.
Thanks for this. Very interesting word😊
Thanks so much 😊
True! 😂
Lol! 😂
My neighbor is cantankerous about trees. I love the word, I will try to use it more often.
My neighbours are like that too. I want to use it more too, it’s an interesting word.
The English language has a rich vocabulary, I realize that since I got more involved with it.
I have learnt so many new words thanks to these posts I have been making since I have to find new words to share and it’s been quite eyeopening.
The worst neighbors aren’t always cantankerous.
– my attempt at a reply, lol
Lol I like the reply.
I am cantankerous without my coffee! LOLOLOL
Lol most people are!
Monday has a rather cantankerous vibe. xxoo, C
Haha it sure does!
Absolutely! I have to agree totally. Cantankerous people are hard to deal with.
They sure are. They’re just too irrational to deal with.
Behind every Cantankerous an unhappy person.
True, they’re often unhappy with their own life so they take it out on others.
I have a vague memory of this word and I’ve never used it. Actually I’ve witnessed cantankerous neighbors (fortunately not mine) who can be very angry and annoying…
The word was new to me but I think it’s somewhat popular. I have a lot of cantankerous neighbours unfortunately. One killed our plants.
Oh, what a killer. Sigh. Loving thy neighbor is easy said than done. I heard terrible neighboring stories in the community… and one poor woman has to fight with her neighbor who constantly calls police on them.
Wow, that’s awful but yeah loving thy neighbour is no easy feat. I’ve had some terrible neighbours myself and I have learnt to just keep my distance.
Life is full of delightful conundrums.
