Save your phoney Xmas smiles for when I really need them
Call me Grinch. Call me an asshole….I don’t really care. My bitch is about all the phonies who suddenly decide I’m worthy of a smile just because it’s Christmas season. Guess what, I don’t by it. Save them for when I really need them.

Exactly. Why do people get all worked up for Christmas and then for the rest of the year they’re assholes? Spare me the phoney attitude.
Sounds like you guys need a hug.Yeah, maybe some people decide to use the smile muscles a little more this time of year but so what. Are you saying you’d prefer to be ignored or frowned at or dismissed ’cause that keeps you in your comfort zone. That’s kind of sad and pathetic.For all you know the “phony” may have decided to stop being a shit and turn her life around for the better all year round.Cut people some slack.Be the bigger man.
Sheeeit, I LOVE Christmas. I hate every other day, work a job I loathe and listen to bitchy customers every fucking day while jerk off next to me does everything she can to f*ck the dog and get paid…but Jeeesus, I LOVE Christmas. So please, don’t piss all over my day.
Yeah, I’m with you. Who needs all that psuedo-sentiment anyhoo? If you’re not going to smile all year ’round, grinning like an idior for a week ain’t gonna make me feel better.
Try smiling back. It just might make you feel good! No harm in sharing a smile. And you know what – it requires a lot less effort than bitching on here.Assholes are always assholes no matter what the season is!
Y’know, This time of year people tend to try and be a little more in the spirit of the season. So if someone decides that smiling at a stranger makes them feel good about themselves then let them smile. There’s no reason to let your self loathing ruin the season for others. If it bothers you that much, sit in a room by yourself and wonder what went wrong with your life, so the rest of us can feel all festive without people like you trying to ruin it for all of us.
It’s people like you, A-hole, who shit all over the holidays and piss me right the fuck off. I happen to love Christmas, and I can say that even after working retail for about 15 years. Mind you, I’m not in retail anymore, so I do get to enjoy the holidays a bit more than I did before. If you choose not to celebrate, then that’s your own miserable lonely fault. I’ll keep on smiling just to piss you off even more…and my smile is authentic, thank you!
sounds to me like you have to get laid there asswipe. Enjoy the holiday, go get faced…spread some cheer…losen up…your giving me a headache.
