In 1991, I worked at a Christmas tree farm. They had an ancient tube stereo with an 8 track and one single Christmas tape. Volume at 11.
In 1994, I got a job at a newly built Staples. They had no internet and they chouldn’t get their satellite connection to work, so they sent us a commercial song box that contained an 8 track of pop songs from the 70’s. To this day, I can’t listen to Sweet Home Alabama.
At least it’s a good song. WHAM! is literally just someone griping over and over in the least rhythmic way possible lmao

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.
Joke’s on you, I’m into that shit
It’s even
betterworse if you hear it at a dead mall, with hardly anyone around and almost no open stores.This one. This fucking song. It’s so god damn repetitive that I got irrationally angry just thinking about it.
mine is rockin’ around the christmas tree. my senior year of high school, the freshmen were pranking me with it. every hallway, i’d turn a corner and they’d see me, press play and “ROCKIN’ AROUND … THE CHRISMAS TREE! HAVIN A HAAPYYYY HOOOLLLIDAYY” on your mothers graves if i never hear that song again i’ll die happy
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).
I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas is the one song that makes me rage like no other
i get it. how about “I Saw Daddy Kissing Santa Claus”?
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)
It should be considered a workplace hazard at this point … and workers should be compensated for it
Around me it’s been “last Christmas I gave you a fart…” by many different artists
Thanks I hate it
Must be a regional thing…
Oh right, maybe it goes “last pissmas” ;)
Maybe its just local to my area, but I haven’t heard that song once this year (so far)
Definitely don’t need to work retail to hate that song.
Christmas songs are NPC bait, debate me
Okay sure.
Calling other people “NPC” is cringe
true, but cringe as part of shame culture is NPC behaviour
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.
I really wish Pariah Scary would just go away already.
LMAOOOO
There’s a reason I hate Christmas music…
