The commercials. Who the hell buys a vehicle for someone as a Christmas present? And what's with all the fart-themed toys and games for kids this year? Hopefully I’ll meet a man this year who’ll buy me a car for Xmas. |

People who walk around with earbuds in and can’t hear me say ‘excuse me’ if I need to go around or if they’re in my way lol Going home for Xmas vaca and not being able to get in a good nap for 2 weeks. When I have my earbuds in, I am super-conscious of what is going on around me and I always stay in my own lane! Some shoppers without earbuds take their half out of the middle; what's up with that?! |

Those folks need to be pushed down unless they’re old lol. I’m sure you’re not one of ‘those’ people who can’t hear jack because of the music but those types really do irritate the ish out of me. Surprisingly enough as much as people get on my nerves I enjoy crowded malls. The people watching is fantastic. |

Wow, I'm impressed - you couldn't get me inside a mall unless I was drunk or under anesthesia! Or dead... well, maybe that would bring me back to life like CPR. |

Thoughtful gift-giving is an art, and my late husband was outstanding at it. A real change from my mother who gave me something that she would have liked, or some random thing that came in the mail by mistake. |

I’m a weird introvert but I really do enjoy most crowds. Then I’ll immediately need to recharge...for about a day hahaha. |

I've got two little ones and it just seems like to me the mainstream toys nowadays are completely unimaginative or not made very well. I realize if you search hard you can find some neat stuff still. Guess I need to just look harder. Otherwise I still love this time of year. Although I do like Thanksgiving more due to it not being heavily commercialized (it's pretty much overlooked by Black Friday sales and Christmas music).

Oh, I'd have to have a 'cone of silence' or spend time in a sensory deprivation tank! |
