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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, the mall I work at started playing Christmas songs on repeat. It's the beginning of November. FML
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
Today, my boss made me wear reindeer antlers to promote the Christmas spirit. There are still 5 weeks till Christmas. FML
Today, at my job at the mall, our music malfunctioned and now will only play the same three songs over and over again. Our manager won't let us turn it off because "the customers won't notice". 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, 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, 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, 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, my boss thought it would be a great idea to delay paying me until after Christmas. There goes rent, bills, food and of course Christmas presents. FML
Today, it's Christmas day. Normally, I'd be spending it with family. However, my boss decided everyone has to work today, despite the fact that there's enough people who want to work to run the place. Apparently it's "fairer" if we all have to do it - except him. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Having worked in a store that had Christmas music from Thanksgiving until New Years, I would quit that job ASAP. Once they tried to play Christmas music halfway through November and had so many customer complaints that they had to shut it off. It was bad enough for one month.

I was going to say, this must be in the states haha. I went to Florida in the middle of November and they had already had Christmas music playing. Weird.

You can complain all you like, but you guys brought this on yourselves by buying so much expensive shit for Christmas. To US retailers, Christmas really counts for half the year in terms of their profits. Try giving kids presents on their birthday instead of Christmas.

Yeah, but craft stores have a good reason for it, as people who make their Christmas stuff need TIME.

How in the hell do you tie sexuality to putting up Christmas decorations early?
