The things that pissed you off today ™ thread

[Shum]

that "Do They Know It's Christmas?" repackaging.

[legend4ry]

Big up Legend4ry though, nothing wrong with showing family love and you've done a good job of it. I think even I can feel some of your love coming through with that.

Haha! Cheers mate.

Tracking down first editions of The Walking Dead comics for my mrs hasn't be fun at all.



I think its the first time in my life.. me - mister grumpy bollocks is actually trying to cheer people up and get them excited.

Growing old is fucking me up.

[nowaysj]

I just totalled up all the christmas presents for the year pon ze amazon.

Leaves me with £80 for the whole of December after bills.


Tempted to just fuck off family/friends in 2015 so I don't have to deal with this shite.

Bet i'll just get socks and a facking celebrations tin from everyone else too.

DONT EVEN EAT CHOCOLATE FAM.

I'd suggest actively encouraging them not to celebrate christmas. I've been doing this with mine for a number of years and small progress is being made.

We don't 'really' celebrate it, my nan 8 years ago went into hospital on Christmas day and was the first day that we found out she got cancer, we lost her a few months after and Christmas hasn't really been the same for my family we have opted to work it the last 7 years but this is the first year we've all got it off work! We usually have a 'fakemas' a few days after.

Since everyone else is dirt poor and just about scrapes by month after month in my nuclear family I make a big effort to try and cheer them up.

Bought my brother every 3DS game what he has wanted whats came out in 2014..
Bought my step dad some figurines that hes into (we're a family of nerd culture).
Bought my mum a brand new kitchen cause shes been saying how hers' falling apart.

I was half-joking 'bout the presents, I honestly tell them to donate to charity in my name if they're going to do anything.

Christmas to me is just about remembering how to be a family again and celebrate the time we have with each other. Presents or not, we've always had a massive munch and sat around, played some snes 4 person bomberman and/or board games without our phones turned on or anything.

I don't really enjoy the festive side of it but I do look forward to the day.


Still though,

Things are fucking expensive this year I swear?

We kind of called off chirstmas this year. No money.

my cousins and step brothers and stuff are cool except a couple but you cant just have a get together with them.

Nah, fuck spending your Christmas holidays cooped up indoors. BBQ, beers & cricket on the beach is how you're supposed to enjoy Xmas

Christmas needs snow just as much as it needs Santa

Fucks that. Snow hiking. Hunting... And then when you get back indoors, and put your feet by the fire... few things better in life.
