IT IS TOO EARLY FOR THIS SHIT

[conuly]

No. No. NO. I absolutely draw the line at whoever it is driving around my block blaring "All I Want For Christmas Is You" out of shitty speakers.

I'm with you, it is WAY too early.

[conuly]

It wasn't even a good recording. Or maybe it was, but their speakers sucked.

[lilly_c]

Too early. Unfortunately here we’ve had it on a crisps advert since the 1st.

[conuly]

I feel your pain.

[zesty_pinto]

It's going to keep coming sooner, but I am surprised it's a private citizen that is pulling this Joker-worthy move.

[conuly]

SERIOUSLY.

[larryhammer]

way WAY too early ...

[conuly]

Ugh.

[peoriapeoriawhereart]

We are clearly still within the no involuntary Christmas music with some allowances for 1) Charlie Brown or likewise instrumental music. The island of misfit toys does have words but that's permitted as well. 2) Very old people and Bing Crosby or earlier Christmas music 3) Early modern music because it was all religious music and got repurposed variously. 4)Nat King Cole. He's mandatory sharing, but you have to have non-shitty speakers.

Run Over by a Reindeer and its brethren may not play prior to Thanksgiving or the close of deer season whichever provides the longest freedom.

[conuly]

I would not have been so irked if the speakers hadn't been so crappy. If you have bad speakers, play your music at a decent level!

[peoriapeoriawhereart]

Bad speakers should be kept to oneself, much as one chews with a closed mouth.

Oh, for an easily available EMP generator.

[kengr]

They aren't *that* hard to build. Pity that they aren't directional.

[jessie_c]

Oh, they just need a good wave guide on the emitter.

[conuly]

Gotta harden all my electronics first.

[spikethemuffin]

My dad actually worked for a company that made EMP roadblock guns (the mission was to turn wartime tech to peacetime applications, e.g. anti SIDS baby monitors from "breathing object" detecting perimeter-guarding cameras/ A.I.). But the blunderbuss would get my vote.

My little sister has been playing Christmas music since the night of Halloween. It's annoying.

[conuly]

Grr.

[jessie_c]

Play a youtube playlist long enough and the christmas songs begin creeping in...

[hamimi_fk]

That's terrifying.

[readerjane]

The rule at our house is: not before Black Friday. We finish one holiday before we start the next.

[conuly]

Alas, my neighbors don't live in my house.

[kengr]

Well, at least he's giving folks fair warning.

[conuly]

Of the fact that he's a jackass?

[dewline]

Definitely of that fact.

[gwydion]

Aiyeeeeee!

[conuly]

YES.

[wolby]

PUNISHABLE BY... I DON'T KNOW WHAT, BUT SOMETHING DIRE.

[conuly]

I'd toss out a few caltrops, but I fear that'd make the situation worse before it made it better.

[movingfinger]

Maybe it was one of those performative marriage proposals.

[conuly]

Well then I hope they said no, those speakers were really awful.

[silveradept]

That is a red card offense.

[conuly]

If only!

[imhilien]

Ow, that's painful. Ow.

I try not to acknowledge the Christmas season until 1st Dec at the earliest (glares at media that's been pushing Christmas at me since before Halloween).

[conuly]

Like all sensible, right-minded people.

[chez_jae]

Yikes!

:D

[conuly]

It was horrible.

[mindstalk]

It's not a war on Christmas, it's a war by Christmas, on the other holidays.

[peristaltor]

Ooo, I like!

[conuly]

Too true.

[agoodwinsmith]

Argh.

[conuly]

And those speakers were something else :(

[elenbarathi.livejournal.com]

A week before Thanksgiving?!?

....KILL. THEM.

[conuly]

Ho. Ho. Ho!

[elenbarathi.livejournal.com]

"Who you callin' ho?"

(ROFL, me bro says "Not hoe; shovel.")
