put-out-upon-ness

noun. The chagrinometer broke.

Real citation: "And we had the stroller people walking or parking their gigantomobiles side by side which made it hard if not impossible for Bob to get by without nasty glares and sighs of almighty put-out-upon-ness. Sheesh."
(Aug. 13, 2007, Finding My New Normal, http://findingrace.blogspot.com/2007/08/regarding-weekend-and-our-next-steps.html)

Made-up citation: "Whenever I leave my apartment, the dog gives me a pouty look of poochly
put-out-upon-ness, as if I've offended the gods--and, in consequence, might soon find myself reincarnated as a pig's ear."
