For those that can't stand this time of the year, my misery seeks company. What does it for you?

For me: aside from the usual family stuff:

I worked front-end in a post office back when that meant a line-up before I opened the doors to the end of the day when I had to inform the line-up that was still out the door that, yes, I was going to close on time. (Some didn't take that well. For me it was just another Tuesday...)

It meant a lot of work with little thanks and I had to listen to the same shitty Xmas playlist over and over all day.

Edit/PS: The quick downvote sells it. Perfection. chefs kiss

the same shitty Xmas playlist over and over all day.

This pretty much sums it up. Music is a big part of my life, and to hear it be so... corporate and someone-has-a-case-of-the-mondays vibed makes me sick.

    i hate any kind of repetitive stimuli with a (probably autism-related) damn near uncontrollable incandescent rage.

    certain tracks give me genuine panic flashbacks to when i worked retail and had to hear the same ~10 pop renditions of carols over blown out ceiling speakers for 8+ hours at a time while old women were hurling verbal abuse at me for their favorite salami being out of stock
