Monday Mayhem ~ Season’s Gripings
Welcome to Monday Mayhem hosted by Harriet of Harriet and Friends.
Today’s meme is called “The annoyances of the seasonâ€.
By now many of the happy feelings about the holiday season have turned to annoyances for some of us. Here is your chance to express yourself. Have fun!
1. What annoys you about the holiday music?
Nothing. I subject myself to as little of it as possible to avoid getting annoyed.
2. What annoys you the most about holiday shopping?
People! Why don’t they all just go home and let me shop in peace?! And I feel like that every day of the year, not just Christmas.
3. Tell us about someone you know who is annoying you right now.
In my own little corner in my own little chair ….
I am alone in my office. The only thing annoying me is that I have no witty answer to this question.
4. What is annoying you online this week?
My net provider seems to be using molasses to move my signal. Grrrrrr
5. Is there something that people say or do this time of year that annoys you?
Yeah, if you’re talking to me and expect me to spend my money in your store, you’d best not tell me I can’t say Merry Christmas.
6. What is the most annoying behavior anyone can have this time of year?
Behaviors that annoy me at Christmas will most likely annoy me any time of the year.
7. What is more annoying when you are shopping- screaming kids or people who cut you off in the stores or at the mall?
Thanks for reminding me why I shop on line.
8. What is the one thing that does not annoy you this holiday season?
Actually, right now I am feeling pretty mellow about everything. Getting annoyed uses more energy than I care to expend on trivial matters. Although I did find the automatic assumption that I should be annoyed a bit irritating.

I am completely with you on 1,2 and 6 Quilly. LOL!
Kala — with a musician in the house we can get our fill of Christmas music really fast. He has to practice in order to play well, so pretty much all we listen to his his horn, his gigs, and whatever is happening in church. Plus numbers 2 & 6 are probably universal.
Hi Quilly.
I like your music strategy. I know, why can’t people just let us shop in peace?
Thanks for playing.
Enjoy your day!
Harriet — I fear that someday somebody who isn’t allowing me to shop in peace is going to end up in pieces — especially if the disruption has anything to do with his/her cell phone.
I agree with #8 and 6. So far my shopping forays have been unusually pleasant.
Barbara — I am going shopping off island on Wednesday. We shall see if I find it irritating or fun.
#5, I agree Quilly. As a lowly cashier, I don’t say it unless they say something first because I just don’t know who’s going to snap on me over whether I say ‘Merry Christmas’ or whatever is ‘politically correct’. It’s B.S.! I should be able to just say “Merry Christmas” and be done with it.
Shawna — if it weren’t for Christ we likely wouldn’t be celebrating in this manner anyway, right? So why take his name out of it.
First I read Thom’s list, and then I come here and read yours. I think you just convinced me to shop online today!
Karen — I mostly shop online everyday! No weird people and no lines.
Molasses? Sometimes it seems like cement here. LOL Shopping on line is the only way to go. 🙂 Great answers Q 🙂
Thom — I can’t believe you let me get away with that major insult I left on my Bling Fling post. What’s wrong with you?
I shop on line too. I cannot believe most people still go to malls!
Bud — I spell that “mauls” for a reason.
