I fucking hate Christmas!
I'm sure I will carry this motherfucker all the way through untill February, but still. - I have to admit this is a record. It has taken me this long into December before I've gotten pissed due to Christmas bullshit.
Now here is the deal. If I get to 10 things that have pissed me off due to Christmas bullshit, I'm going to strike back against all these carolling assholes. It starts:

1) Hot Topic:
I've been shopping at this fucking store for about 4 or 5 years. Every year I spend a goodly amount of money in the place and get a little stamp on my card. For every ten dollars you spend you get a stamp. Every year at Christmass I go and buy the majority of my gifts at this store, use all my cards in one transaction and start the whole cycle over again. This year however they decide to change. So, I come up with my purchases and they tell me they can only use one card. I put up a slight resistance, but finally agree. Supposedly that they weren't supposed to be doing that ever and that I just had a cool guy for the last 4 years or so. That's fine. After using only one card (15% off) I still have a bill of $85. I ask them to stamp my card and they tell me that they don't stamp cards on purchases that have had a discount taken off of them. So, just to make sure I'm hearing this right, I inquire. "What your telling me is that even though I'm obviously a frequent shopper here (hence the numerous already filled cards) and the fact that, even after the 15% off this purchase, I've still spent over $80 here, I can't get any stamps for this purchase?" Of couse they say no. Fuck them. Anyway that was my Hot Topic story, good night.
