Sometimes, believe it or not, I'm in a bad
mood.

I'm in a pretty good mood, but the other
day I was in a bad mood and I thought to myself,

I should make a video for all of you and go

Well this video's about how to say, “I'm
in a bad mood.”, 10 different ways, and

I think I've said it two or three times
already.

So number 1, you can simply say, “I'm
in a bad mood.”

A second way to say that you're in a bad
mood is, “I'm cranky.”

I often say I'm cranky especially when it's
been a long time since I've had my last

I'll usually just say, “Ah, I'm just
really cranky because I need something to

So a second way to say you're in a bad mood
is to say, 'I'm cranky.”

A third way to say that you're in a bad
mood is to say, “I'm grouchy.”

So you may have watched the show Sesame Street.

It's an English kids show and on that show
they have a character called Oscar the Grouch,

I usually get grouchy when I have too much
work to do and not enough time to do it.

That usually makes me grouchy and I'll say
to people, “I'm grouchy today!”

So a fourth way to say that you're in a
bad mood is to say, “I'm grumpy.”

So you say to someone, “I'm just grumpy
today.”

And a lot of times I'll be grumpy if I have
a day where nothing seems to go right all

So from the minute I get up until I go to
bed nothing goes right and that definitely

So for example maybe I sleep in by accident.

Maybe I go to make eggs for breakfast and
there aren't any.

Maybe on the way to work I notice that my
van has not enough gas in it to make it home

All of those things would put me in a bad
mood and I might describe it to people by

So a fifth way to say that you're in a bad
mood is to say, “I'm crabby.”

So when you say I'm crabby I usually tell
people I'm crabby if I don't get a good

night's sleep or if I don't get enough
sleep.

So let's say it's nice to get 8 hours
sleep in a night and I only get 5 or 6 or

So I would definitely the next day tell people
that, “Ah, I'm crabby today because I

So a sixth way to say you're in a bad mood
is to say, “I'm irritable.”

So the thing that makes me really irritable
is when somebody wants me to get something

done, but I don't have enough time to get
it done.

So when you're irritable you're just,
everything bothers you.

Another way to say you're in a bad mood
is to just say, “I'm not in a good mood.”

So you're saying the opposite of saying
that you're in a good mood and this is quite

Often times people will say, “Ah, I'm
just not in a good mood today.”

So they use the negative form of the phrase,
“I'm in a good mood.”

to say that they're NOT in a good mood which
means the same as, “I'm in a bad mood.”

And one of the things that makes me not in
a good mood is a day where I just have one

Do you ever have one of those days where you
have so many things to do that day and you

just do one thing after another and it just,
at the end of the day you just say, “I am

So an eighth way to say you're in a bad
mood is to say, “I'm agitated.”

So I would say I get agitated or I would describe
myself as being agitated when I'm trying

to get work done, maybe I'm trying to edit
a video for my Youtube channel and the phone

keeps ringing, or my phone keeps beeping or
buzzing because someone is texting me and

So that definitely is something where I would
say, “I'm agitated.”, because I just

feel like I'm trying to get something done
and I keep getting interrupted.

So an ninth way to say that you're in a
bad mood is to say, “I'm aggravated.”

So the best example I can give of this is
if you go on a long trip with children and

I would definitely say that that behaviour
is aggravating and I would feel aggravated.

I would be in a bad mood, I would be aggravated
because of the noise that my kids were making

So I would definitely describe that situation
as, “I'm aggravated.”

And a tenth way to describe being in a bad
mood is to just say, “I'm annoyed.”

So a good example of this would be, you know
sometimes we work with people we like, sometimes

we might work with someone who isn't so
enjoyable to work with and so you might end

I'm just annoyed with everything today because
my co-worker is hard to work with, and that

would be another description of, of being
in a bad mood you know.

I'm just I'm annoyed with everything today.

Well there's a few things that you might
do when you're in a bad mood or ways we

would describe people who are in a bad mood.

And I have a list of them here and I'm gonna
read them off to you.

So when you snap at people it means you respond
really quickly and in a tone that sounds

In English when say “You know I was really
short with people today.”

it means that you answer in really quick sentences.

Not taking the time to have a good conversation
with them, but speaking in really short quick

Another thing that you would have is you might
just be rude to people.
