The average Brit gets 'hangry' around 100 times a year – typically at 2.22pm.
A poll of 2,000 adults found 72 per cent have fallen victim to this at one time or another – with 45 per cent of these stating 'you wouldn't like me when I'm hangry.'
And being in this state of mind has far-reaching consequences - 32 per cent admit it impacts their motivation to do anything productive.
While 17 per cent revealed it has led to a mistake at work and 30 per cent said their sense of humour has taken a hit.

Commissioned by McDonald's, which has launched the new Big Arch burger made with two 100 per cent British and Irish beef patties, topped with white cheddar, onions, lettuce, pickles, and Big Arch sauce, the research found 26 per cent admit they cope 'poorly' with hanger symptoms.
Almost a third (31 per cent) say they've been caught out by a loud stomach rumble in a meeting, while 12 per cent have even experienced an ill-timed grumbling stomach mid-date.
A spokesperson for McDonald's: "It's an easy trap to fall into because hanger can spring upon us at any moment.
'It's important that we are prepared for these moments and have something on hand to relieve the hanger symptoms.'
Other than lack of food, the study found stress (39 per cent) is the biggest cause of hanger, with lack of sleep (33 per cent) also a common factor.
More than a third (35 per cent) revealed it tends to happen mostly when they're bored – although 27 per cent say it's unpredictable – and occurs at 'random times.'

Hanger doesn't just strike on the go—it's a regular challenge at home too, with 24 per cent saying it's a common problem in their household.
It emerged 63 per cent recognise the signs of hanger before it fully takes over, according to the OnePoll.com figures.
And when it hits, speed matters —57 per cent act fast and reach for something readily available, while 36 per cent attempt to curb it with water.
Those aged between 18 and 24 are the hangriest age group, with 48 per cent admitting this happens to them at least three times per week.
A spokesperson for McDonald's added: 'It is a good sign that Brits are aware when they're feeling hangry.
'A quick solution is always key so that you can continue to go about your day, at your best.'

Plane crash horror as pilot loses control and smashes into airport
Two people were hurt in a plane crash at New Century Airport in Johnson County, Kansas, on Monday. Authorities said the plane crash-landed on the roof of a hangar Two people were hospitalised Monday afternoon following a plane crash at New Century Airport in Johnson County, Kansas, US. The crash occurred just before 1.30pm local time when a light twin-engine aircraft with two occupants crash-landed on the roof of a hangar. According to the Johnson County Sheriff's Office, both individuals suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to a local hospital. 'The good news is that both individuals sustained only minor injuries,' said Bryan Johnson, executive director of the Johnson County Airport Commission. 'They were able to exit the aircraft on their own and climb down a fire ladder to paramedics.' Responding agencies included the sheriff's office, Kansas Highway Patrol, Fire District #1, and MED-ACT. Preliminary reports from the highway patrol indicate that a mechanical failure caused the aircraft's left engine to malfunction, leading the 73-year-old male pilot to lose control. 'Witnesses described hearing a loud boom when the plane struck the building,' Johnson said. 'We're incredibly relieved no one was seriously hurt.' Everyone inside the hangar, which Johnson noted is less than three years old, was safely evacuated and no injuries were reported on the ground. An investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing. Earlier this week, an Air India flight travelling from Hong Kong to Delhi was forced to make a U-turn after the pilot reported a suspected technical issue mid-air. Flight AI315, operated by a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, left Hong Kong for Delhi before quickly returning to its origin as a precautionary measure, reports the Hindustan Times. It comes just days after an Air India plane bound for London Gatwick crashed and killed all but one of the 242 passengers onboard. The flight, which departed Ahmadabad Airport in Gujarat, India, came down moments after taking off on Thursday afternoon. Air India was already battling an "exceptionally poor" reputation before the horror incident, believed to have claimed the lives of 169 Indian nationals, 52 Brits, seven Portuguese nationals and one Canadian passenger. The only survivor, British national Vishwashkumar Ramesh, told local news that he saw the aircraft crew and passengers die around him but managed to flee when the plane suddenly split in two and threw him out with only minor injuries. Mr Ramesh, who was in seat 11A on the Boeing 787 flight, later said "has no idea how he survived" one of India's deadliest aviation disasters.
