View Full Version : Christmas craze, i'm telling you!

Is it just me noticing this or do some of you as well? This is my 38th Christmas and I swear this has to be the strangest one so far. It seems like EVERYBODY is in a craze about something. Customers at work are all stressed and difficult to deal with.

Work colleagues, bosses etc. are also all tense and wound tighter than a spring. I like Christmas but I am beyond sick of the way people are acting leading up to it this year. Just riding my bike to work a few minutes ago, was a real challenge because it seemed like every cager was driving out of control. One car came to a screaming stop in front of me, while the lady in the yard was yelling at the car, "get Jim a hamburger!" He screamed back that he didn't have any money. Meanwhile i am standing abreast of my bike waiting, for him to throw it in reverse and run over me.

So I yelled at them and told them to get the he11 out of the way and not to run over me. I think that all of this craziness has spread to me and now I am starting to yell at people. I went on record earlier saying I like Christmas, and I do. But this part leading up to it is really starting to get old.

I had someone honking at me from behind because I would come to a complete stop at a stop sign...

I was honking to try and lure you from the car so I could get a clean shot with the tranq. gun!! You just happened to be stopped and I thought it was a more opportune time! Geeezzzz! I am gonna get that tattoo off of your chest one way or the other, you just wait!

people stress themselves out like crazy. i had to tell my GF to chill a bit with all the holiday cards, the plans to meet up with everyone, going out and buying crap, etc. everyday she'd have a million things that "needed to get done".

i just don't understand why everyone has to cram so much into this time of year. why create all these obligations?? i just do a few things for people i care about and that's it.

Honking isn't going to do anything. If you really want to drug me up, just leave a 6 pack of ESB on my front porch laced with some ruffies. I'll be out like a light in 5 minutes.

Anyway, if you want this tattoo, just ask. I'll even frame it for you! But the "I *heart* jsharr" tat on my butt cheek is staying.

Oh Hell No. A collegaue went there took over an hour to check out, I ahd a better idea.

Took advantage off the fact they where open late went @10.55pm was out the door by 11.02, then went to Macys done by 11.40pm.

Bulk off the xmas shopping done in 45 mins.

Yeah, I am all too familiar with that deal. I think they should divide the country in two a month before Christmas and let all of those who want to get stupid over it go live on that side, and all of us who just want to live a normal carefree, perhaps lazy life, could go to that side. Then we could all meet up again on New Year's and get drunk out of our minds and compare stories.
