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.
