In reply to the discussion: I got my first "Merry Christmas" said to me yesterday [View all]Javaman
(62,521 posts)My GF's daughter likes crystals, so there is a shop in my neighborhood that sells them. I should have noticed the first sign of weirdness by the Edgar Casey maps on the walls.
Anyway, after I made my purchase, the woman behind the counter said, "Merry Christmas", I responded, "Happy Holidays". She then got this evil look in her eye and repeated loudly (I think she expected some sort of lynch mob to spontaneously gather) "Merry Christmas!", I smiled knowing what she was trying to do and said, "Happy Holidays". But no, she wouldn't let it go. She got out from behind the register ala high noon and said loud and angrily, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!". Me in my same normal voice says, "Yeah, Happy Holidays" And gave her and a few other people there the look of "this woman is crazy". She took the hint, looked around and went back behind the register.
these types are certifiable.
