    I worked in The Body Shop from 99 to 01. My God, it was like every other song was that song.

    Then, from 07-09 at the Apple Store. Same fucking thing.

    All I want for Christmas is for Mariah Carey to shut the fuck up

    The one I always dreaded was “Wonderful Christmastime” by Paul McCartney. The song already has a ton of weird reverb in it, then to hear it echoing around the mall… Just creepy.

      This one. This fucking song. It’s so god damn repetitive that I got irrationally angry just thinking about it.

      I think we’re only missing Wham! Last Christmas for my nightmare list from working retail.

      Well, and anything from the Amy Grant Xmas album, but that’s my dad’s fault.

      Oh wait, can’t forget Christmas shoes… (Shudders involuntarily).

HAVIN A HAAPYYYY HOOOLLLIDAYY” on your mothers graves if i never hear that song again i’ll die happy

    It should be considered a workplace hazard at this point … and workers should be compensated for it

    These days that song seems like the least of their worries. Between new artists making terrible new Xmas songs and others that may or may not be ai generated.

    It could be worse. I’ve seen a MC cover singer. Not only that she could not really sing, but she was wearing a costume like MC wore in the video. All while having several clothing sizes more…

    They always play those awful christmas songs for well leading up to christmas and well after. I never even liked christmas songs in the first place. Now I absolutely despise them.

    you got to invent games to make it fun. Whammageddon. We’re having a Queen of Christmas competition where everyone picks an artist and the first time you hear any one of the artists on each day, they get a point, and the person with the most points wins Queen of Christmas (my wife chose Mariah, i chose Andy Williams, my mother chose the entire Harry Simeone Chorale and no one else wanted to play. I thought up the game 5 days ago and the standings are Mariah 2 ANDY 1 Harry 1)
