Merry Christmas Everyone!

I do like Christmas alot but because I work in the retail line (bookstore), I have to witness horrible things that people are just not supposed to do during Christmas (or on further thought, they are just not supposed to be doing any of the following things anytime during the year, period!)
1. Being rude and utterly demanding to the info counter staff. (Just wait your turn, damnit, and harassing the staff while he/she is still helping another customer is just ill-mannered).
2. Grumbling/ Complaining (very loudly) about how long the queue is and how you are in such a tearing hurry ("so is everyone else, ****").

I think that about sums it up. Thank goodness, I work in the back office (part-time) and I have been trying my darnest not to appear on the shopfloor these couple of days. But I still remember that basically people are just downright rude during the christmas season ("you are not the only one buying last-minute christmas presents!"). If you want service, wait for it.

Also, being in the retail line also means that you can basically just kiss your holidays goodbye. Yes I have to work on Christmas DAY! *sob* I worked also today and on my way to work, I slipped and fell (it was raining the night before) right on the knee and now there is this horrible bruise on it. And because my colleague/ friend dared me to take a picture of it and post it here, here it is:
