Christmas Venting....... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Okay lets VENT about our Christmas woes.

I hate it when customers throw all the clothes all over the place. They have no disregard for the workers who work there and collect a measley paycheck.

My father is in the hospital recovering from a heart transplant. He wasn't home for Thanksgiving, and won't be home for Christmas.

I'd take your customer woes over my own any day.

I'm sorry about your father, and I hope he makes a complete recovery, yet Pitooey created this topic to discuss Christmas problems. I'm not implying that you have no right to talk about your father; however, to dismiss Pitooey's complaint isn't fair in my opinion.

My family has been been to hell and back. I could, in three sentences, make anyone's problem on this website seem like a hangnail, but I won't.

Venting about Christmas woes -- I hate when an item is marked on sale but it rings up at regular price, and you don't notice it until you get home and look at the receipt.

I hate it when there are 15 registers, and only 3 or 4 are open at peak hours.

I hate having to park a the length of two football fields away from the store because of the CROWDS, which I can't stand either.

It drives me crazy when I can't find when I want. I wish online shopping didn't charge so much for shipping. I'd never leave the house.

PZelda · 12-01-2003, 12:51 PM

I hate rude people. Period. Don't ever expect me to work in retail, because I'm not going to.

I am Him · 12-01-2003, 12:58 PM

I hate chicks that walk through a crowded mall like they are the only ones there.

They don't care who they bump into, and they make no effort to avoid bumping into someone. Many of them are not even watching where they are walking. They are either looking off to the side or talking on a damn cell phone. Its even worse in stores where they have shopping carts

People. Girls aren't the only ones that do that too, y'know. But yes, I know how you feel. I'm constantly having to swerve around rude people like that. UGH, it just burns me up!!!!!!!

All cell phones should be turned off when people check into the mall, and they need a head check at the door as well!

I don't have a cell phone (Now stop staring at me) and I don't ever intend to have one. Why have one when I can make calls off other peoples' phones?

Nanny Fine · 12-01-2003, 07:56 PM

I hate crowds. I hate crowds NORMALLY so put me in a store at Chrtistmas and see how much more I hate them.

I hate when you are trying to walk through a store - take tonight. I go into Walmart to buy yarn. I know what I want, I know where it's at, it's all I'm getting. I get behind this woman who is taking her time walking, like she has NO WHERE TO GO, she's waddling up the entire aisle, I can't get around her. I hate when you are trying to get through a store and people are lollygagging around and you can't get past them. I want to holler GET THE HE!! out of my way!!!!!!!

I hate that I can go to any named store and find all sorts of stuff I'd love to have for Christmas but that I have no one to buy anything for me. I hate that I dont even write a Christmas wish list because what the heck is the point

What I LIKE is that where I work they put up "FREE PARKING" signs from now until Christmas. I dont have to pay meters for the month

Go free parking!

Thank you Janice... As for Jayman I'm sorry to hear about your father.

I hate it when you are signaling to make a left turn while driving and the person speeds up just as you're trying to make the turn. (?). It happened to me today while I was going to Toys R Us so I feel that this is a Christmas vent.

ABlairican Pie · 12-01-2003, 11:32 PM

First of all, I made this Christmas party signup list at work for who gets to bring what for goodies, and this lady there said I drew "evil-looking" elves!!

I also hate the fact that they play tons and tons of "improvisational" Christmas tunes everywhere, the really jazzy ones when the original tune is supposed to be calm and solemn...

I've been noticing the same thing. Give me the solemn ones and the originals please........

I hate it when people come through my lane at work and buy 3439847085765740635347856 pound turkeys that I can't fit in a bag.

~*Hannah_Lee*~ · 12-01-2003, 11:59 PM

I hate when you're behind someone in the parking lot, and they stop and wait on another car to back out just so they can get their spot, when there is one maybe 3 places over. Gaaa, lazy people.

Kitt · 12-02-2003, 12:04 AM

Call me Grinch

but I get fumed over having to say "Hi, Merry Christmas...Thanks...You have a good day too," on the way in and on the way out of the grocery store or anywhere else those dadburned bell-ringer people with the donation buckets are hanging out.
