Getting out of the wrong side of the bed

goo Ranking recently took a look at what bit of bad luck puts a downer on the
whole day, for some reason for just men only. [via]

Demographics Between the 21st and 25th of May 2009 1,082 members of the goo
Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 51.4%
of the sample were male, 7.3% were in their teens, 16.0% in their twenties,
28.1% in their thirties, 27.9% in their forties, 10.8% in their fifties, and
9.9% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the
relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.
Note that this survey was for the 556 men only.
