Hassled

I was out today trying to buy a Christmas present.mThe rain was making a horrible task that bit more unpleasant. I know it's nearly Christmas and people are busy, but the same rules apply now as a month ago.

Parking in disabled spots is not ok. Driving like a man or woman possessed and treating others as if they're an irritation only shows you up as the asshole you probably are. Walking through people, or not saying excuse me, just smacks of your ignorance. Was it always like this at Christmas?

I used to enjoy Christmas. But alcohol, fighting, shit T.V., putting up and dismantling the Christmas tree all conspire to drive me to distraction. I don't get the whole drinking on Christmas Eve thing either. How can it be a pleasant Christmas if you're in the grip of the hangover from hell?
