Yet another Christmas poll

[MrMoody]

Here's a good negative poll for ya. Look up.

I'd have to say the traffic; going anywhere in December is an ordeal.

Trust me......I know what I'm doing.

I hate the traffic.

[VCDHunter]

I hate everything about this terrible season. Lights, cards, shit songs, shit TV and shit weather.

[Capmaster]

Traffic, without a doubt. People get into a frenzy in the malls about this time. I stay away ....far away

[yoda313]

Hello,

stay away ....far away

Hmm.. I'm reminded of a saying:

a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....

(sorry couldn't resist - back on topic - yes mall traffic is bad)

I hate customers. I hate the songs and the other shit that comes with the season.

I like giving and getting presents and getting together with family.

Damn war in Iraq. Oh well, somebody has to watch the mainframe to make sure the soldiers get their junk, even on Christmas. Might as well be me. Huzzah for patriotism; bah humbug for working Christmas eve.

I hate the whole preparation thing. I hate the idea
of family get togethers. Then it happens and its ok.
I end up enjoying them.

[northcat_8]

I'll tell you one thing that chaps my ass that happens about this time......

All of you cautious mother fuckers. Who don't know how, or are afraid to drive on snow. Look ass munchers, SNOW does not equal ICE you science class sleeping jackass. IF it is snowing but the road is still the same color it was during the summer, then there is no ICE on it, so move your ass out of the ******* way Captain Safety, some of us have places to go before we retire.

AND AND....if you live in a state or area where there is regular snow fall and you choose to spend all of your money on that Ford Mustang instead of a dependable truck to drive in the winter, that is not my fault. Those performance cars are great <well not the Mustang...it's a FORD> and those low profile Perelli's look good in the summer time but they aren't worth a **** in the winter time. Do not pimp your dumbass around like your shit don't stink in your nice car in the summer time and then get all pissed off at me when I pass your dumb ass when there is snow on the road. **** You.

Do not yell at me or flip me off thinking I should slow down when there is a foot of snow on the ground. I'm driving a 4x4, I know how fast is too fast in my truck and I think 40 mph is not to much to ask on a plowed state route, so move your ******* ass out of the ******* way or buy a god damn horse.

<end rant>

woooosaaaaa
wooooosaaaaa

First snow fall yesterday...first as far as anything sticking and I swear I passed at least a dozen cars on the way to work who were driving 35-40 mph on a highway. IT WASN'T EVEN STICKING TO THE ******* ROAD

[lordsmurf]

N8, nice.

What's snow?

I agree with you.

That is why I stay indoors.

I have a kid in class who moved in from Florida this year. That poor kid has been bundled up like he's going Polar Bear hunting since mid september

He makes me laugh, he's never seen snow before. His dad got transfered in his job and this is the first time he's been out of Florida sucks to be him

Hello,

I hate the songs and the other shit that comes with the season.

Do you guys have a tape that repeats the same songs over and over again, at intervals of about 45 minutes ?

Hello,

I thought most stores used musac - a satellite music service that pipes in the music....

Yes. I've been tempted to sneak into the PA system closet at all the big department stores and put in a looped tape of Butthole Surfers' "USSA"

Too bad most just use canned SCA programming and not tapes :P

I'm pretty sure its piped in from the central offices because when you ring up other Big W's you can hear the exact same music playing at the same time.

Its not really the Christmas carols that drive you crazy its the crappy ads that they play. Andrew Daddo has a few children's books out at the moment and every 20 minutes "hi, this is Andrew Daddo blah blah blah", he is the most annoying **** I've ever heard. If I ever see him in the streets I'm going to punch him.

[pacmania_2001]

And the fake security calls that are so obvious because they never interrupt an ad or a song and are done by a professional voice over person.

"Attention, security call to section 1 for monitoring"

He ought to be punched just for that name

[bazooka]

I feel sorry for Andrew Daddo.

"Doing the christmas shopping? Got the kids with you? Want to get them a present that'll make them smarter not just sweeter? Check out my new book "I'm a ******* gay TV personality/childrens book author". Its in the book section of Big W... thats the department with the books"

Thats the ad pretty much except it goes longer and that isnt the name of the book (obviously).

OK. When I worked at Coles Supermarkets, we had the looping tape set-up. Over a 3 or 4 hour shift it wasn't so bad but when you did a 9 with 3 hours overtime, it started to get really annoying

... to the point where you could recite the "security" warnings almost word for word, and nominate 5 seconds in advance as to when they were about to play

Back before the trading hours got "decommissioned", we used to close at 10PM and open at 7AM. Whoever was on the graveyard used to bring in their own tapes and do a switch-aroony - much more enjoyable to have classic Metallica or the like going through the store

Luckily I work in the hardware section which is next to home entertainment and the guy in there has really good taste in music so it drowns out most of the crap.

I can recite pretty much any of the ads though they get played that much and that ******* Big W theme song. I don't know if you have the ads where you are were they have employees singing it but when they were filming the second version of it they came to our store and my manager said I should try out. I told him everytime that I see that ad I want to puke and I'd rather get kicked in the testicles than try out for it.
