Unless you work at a funeral home, I really don't see anything wrong with being happy

Are you like that "sham-wow" guy? Ugh! Can't blame your boss for firing you. Overly happy people get on my nerves.

I'm thinking the OP works at an animal shelter and talks like the Dunkin Donuts guy, endlessly repeating his creepy mantra, "Time to gas the puppies!" Yeah, you have got to go.

Well, I have to wonder just HOW happy you were to be freaking people out... They could have just told you to tone it down, but yeah, it's annoying and creepy to walk into a store and have some nut job leaping up out of the shadows and screeching "HIIIIIII!!!!!! HOW CAN I HELP YOU OMG I LOVE YOUR SOCKS, THEY ARE JUST TO DIE FOR!!!!!!!! YOU KNOW WE'RE HAVING A SALE ON SOCKS YOU GOTTA SEE THEM, YOU'RE GONNA JUST DIE, DIE I TELL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
