Another Entry On The Long List Of Things That Piss Me Off
Posted by Simple Dude | Posted in Holidays, Random Simplicity | Posted on 05-02-2013
I saw this over the weekend, just down the street from my house… pardon the bad, grainy photo. I snapped it with my cell phone while slowly driving by. Plus it was, you know, dark. Duh.
This is NOT COOL in February.
If he still has his Christmas lights on this coming weekend I have permission to take the hedge clippers and shred the friggin’ things right? I never would have thought I could get irritated by Christmas lights. Six weeks ago I thought his house looked nice. Now I want to punch him square in the balls.
What is it about some a-hole leaving his lights up too long that enrages me?? Am I the only one who feels like this?

I can’t say I’m as angry about as you seem to be, but I do think it’s pretty lame. I would look the other way while you shredded his lights and probably not rat you out when the cops were grilling me about it.

I agree. It’s wierd. At least turn them off.

It drives me absolutely bonkers like you when people leave their lights up too long. I drove by the Burnsville City Center last night and not only do they still have the friggin Christmas lights up, they still have the snowflake display up too! It’s FEBRUARY people, quit being lazy and get rid of the damn things!!

It’s one thing to keep the lights up, but it’s taking things to a whole other level when you turn them on each night.

I’m with you all the way. It’s the kind of thing that makes me want to eat my own fist with rage.
I can understand the laziness of not taking them down. But switching them on??? That’s a free shot in the balls if ever I’ve seen one.

I’m not angry but it is very annoying. There’s a couple of neighborhoods around Dallas that have a few houses on each block with their lights on. I guess one neighbor thinks i wont take mine down if they’re not taking theirs down. Geesh!

I will admit, I forgot to take one string of Christmas lights down. It’s still on our back deck, basically frozen to the wood. But there is no way in hell I would turn then on. Leaving them up is one thing – it is damn cold out there. But stop turning them on for crying out loud!

I have a rule:
Christmas lights can be put up one day before Christmas, and they must be taken down one day after Christmas. Or else I get to beat in your head with a shovel.
Everything Christmas annoys me to the core and has for quite some while now. Because of fucking dumbfucks who start everything a month or two in advance: lights, music, etc. Get. A fucking. Life.

I get leaving them up until it’s warmer outside. I would do that. But for the love of God, unplug the damn things!

The lights bug me, true. It’s so irritating when they leave them up because it’s a reminder that I already put up with the xmas crap for most of November and all of December because some lame people just can’t do the week or two the rest of us are happy with.
I’d look the other way if you wanted to do some damage.

Man! Man! Man! Y’all are all getting too excited. You’re going to be embarrassed when you finally ring that door bell and you learn there is just one old gal that lives in that house and she’s been dead since the middle of last month. Get mad about something that really matters like I’ve got one leg shorter than the other and I keep walking in circles. Now that is something to really get pissed off about.

OT – nominated you (along with 10 others) for The Versatile Blogger award. See my blog for details.
I don’t know if there is a winner or if it means anything but it made a fun blogpost.

Getting mad about this kind of thing only proves that you dont have any real problems in your life. Let it go. Christmas lights in July provide variety.

@Merrell: Most of the problems in my life revolve around the stupidity of others – which is exactly what is taking place in my neighborhood when some jagoff has Christmas lights on in February. Now, Christmas lights in July would be different. I wouldn’t get pissed about that because I would (accurately) assume they are insane and on the verge of being institutionalized.

I would give him a double punch in the balls. And take a poop on his lawn
