TOO SOON

By tipsyone - This FML is from back in 2017 but it's good stuff - Sweden - Malmö

Today, at work, my crazy Christmas enthusiast colleague started decorating her office. I had to listen to Christmas songs for hours, but when I complained to others, they said I was just a mood-killer. I’m the only one whose office is close to hers. FML
I agree, your life sucks 5 600
You deserved it 992

tipsyone tells us more.

OP here: this is not the first time she’s done this! I’ve talked about this two years ago and how I find it incredibly boring to listen to the same songs three months!! Of course the others don’t mind since they’re afraid of conflicts plus I’m the one with the office very close to hers!

At least you can go home at the end of the day and have a silent night, holy night. All is calm, all is bright.

Come on. There's only one rational and adult way to remedy the situation. Escalate. Maybe you find that premature Christmas carols gives you a sudden hankering for really loud rap music? Something to consider, no?

Invest in some headphones or earbuds maybe? Or perhaps buy her some for Christmas :)

Time to have a chat with HR. If they can't get it to stop then you can offer to trade offices with any or your co-workers who seem to think this is not a problem.

This situation calls for a solid 8 hours of "Let The Bodies Hit The Floor"

Yep, time to fight fire with fire. May I recommend some Slayer for you to play in response?

At least you didn’t take a plank of wood to her, but just to be safe, I’d anonymously leave that article on her desk

Tell her she’s making you hate Christmas. Or buy some noise-cancelling headphones.
