According to a survey by a company called Zombie Underground, HALF of us admit that we wake up grumpy in the morning.             

--And the average person doesn't want to talk to ANYONE until they've been awake for an hour and 15 minutes.  Since the average person gets up at 6:49 A.M., that means we're not ready to talk until after eight o'clock.   

--43% of us avoid talking to our significant other in the morning . . . one in three people avoid coworkers when they first arrive at the office . . . and one in five don't want to talk to their children in the morning.

--Among people who take public transportation to work, 70% dread talking to other passengers.  One in three people read a book or listen to music . . . and one in six pretend to talk on their phone.
