Today, my boss insisted that we get in the holiday mood by putting up lights, playing Christmas music, and wearing bells on our uniforms. It's not even Thanksgiving yet and I can't even have a tinkle without full-blown jingling. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my manager made everyone put up Christmas decorations around the store. As well as this, we're going to have Christmas music playing on repeat all the way through to January. It's not even September yet. FML
Today, my boss made me wear reindeer antlers to promote the Christmas spirit. There are still 5 weeks till Christmas. FML
Today, the mall I work at started playing Christmas songs on repeat. It's the beginning of November. FML
Today, and every day this week, my office mate has decided to "liven up the place" by singing and whistling Christmas tunes and other unknown songs. She has zero musical ability. FML
Today, I came home to find my parents wearing Santa hats and blasting Christmas music at full volume. So begins three months of hell. FML
Today, my neighbor installed a large radio that loudly plays Christmas music 24/7. When I called in a complaint to the police department they told me to, "get in the Christmas spirit." FML
Today, my neighbors coated their house in flashing Christmas lights and blared out "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" all day long. Only 29 days left until Christmas. FML
Today, after telling my bosses how much I dislike the Christmas holiday, they assigned ME to organize and host a holiday party for our whole company, with a “Mariah Carey Christmas Karaoke.” I hate Christmas. FML
Today, I wore my Christmas sweater to work, one with lights sewn into it. Halfway through a meeting, they started flashing uncontrollably and playing tinny carols. I couldn’t turn them off. I had to go shove the whole sweater into a locker in the basement. FML
Today, my boss threw a pre-Christmas party at work. He always uses them to rant at us and tell us to be better employees. When the speech began, the alarm I have set for my daily birth control went off. It's the sound of an obnoxious screaming child. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Tell him you want to include; Hebrew, Muslim, Hindu, Buddism, Voo Doo, Wician, etc decorations in the holiday displays...If he refuses, tell him you'll tip off the Dept. of Labor for religious discrimination.

Actually, if you work retail, you really start to hate it. This is my second year working in a mall for Christmas and I have found myself actually dreading the holidays coming. My mall had Christmas decorations and music out right after Halloween, one of the stores near us had their decorations out a week before Halloween, and we had our crap out in SEPTEMBER. When it starts that early, it gets old oh so very fast...

Ha, OP's username is cute. Just one question: where exactly did your boss make you wear your bells? ;-)

So, did the two scrawny bells under that candy cane make the most noise? Or is that just your imagination.
