I think we’re heading into the season which is a bounty of some of the worst songs in the world.
I haven’t worked in retail for so long but I still get the thousand mile thousand yard stare when the Christmas tunes start blaring.
(How do you do, fellow Americans? Today while driving my pickup truck down the freeway to the gun range this morning, I was eating my usual breakfast hamburger with Starbucks when a deer hit the hood of my car. The cops pulled me over, outraged at the harm I had caused to my car so they engaged in the typical amount of police brutality against me before I was rushed to hospital whereupon I was promptly declared bankrupt, so now I am suing the hospital, the police department, and the fish and wildlife service for damages. Just another day in America, amirite?)
There’s only so many 8 hour shifts with a Christmas song rotation of like 20 songs that are all at best marginally better than this Christmas song.
I’m with you there. The ability to read tone and I are acquaintances but we never got close enough to become friends.
What I did is a pretty classic jaded autist joke - so often autistic people just take so many knocks with being misinterpreted that they can go a little bit jonkler mode about it so when they see something that can be wildly misinterpreted they sometimes do so just as a kind of deep satire, like saying “This whole over-interpretation of meaning thing sucks and there’s nothing I can do about it but at least I can laugh at it sometimes by misinterpreting someone else’s statement to mean something outrageous as a little in-joke to myself, if nothing more”

Good answer. Christmas songs mostly suck already and hearing that shit starting from mid October just seals the deal.
All I Want for Christmas is You was my nemesis. It’s overproduced that when it also gets overplayed it feels like violence.
Can’t beat “little drummer boy”
Why? Because baby Jesus would see your act of violence against some little kid who just wanted to play music for him?
I mean, like, you can’t get worse than the little drummer boy song. Not sure if that was clear.
But yeah, I’m down to beat the little drummer boy. Either way.
You’re good I was just making a bad joke
That’s what i suspected! I’m just kinda bad at reading tone sometimes

I understand that! I think that’s a nice way to describe it.
Little drummer boy isn’t as bad as some other spanish folk Christmas songs
Lol fair play!
Same and same. No-one who hasn’t been in that situation can truly understand the trauma.
