Aaaargh! Christmas Frickin Confetti Rant

Topics

Who thought it would be a good idea to invent this bloody stuff.

Everytime I open a card and someone has 'thoughtfully' sprinkled it with tiny sodding glittery Christmas trees or snowflakes or something equally annoying, they just drop out of the card and straight onto the floor.

I'm all in favour of Christmassyness but this stuff is just beyond annoying.

It's Christmas fer gawds sake, I don't have time to be cleaning up after someone else's twee muppetry.

Not a fan, people put it on their tabels at dinner so it ends up on the back of your spoon!

I just don't get it. I did buy little 30s for my 30th party, but I don't think they went on anybody's spoon.

Have you ever had one of those butterfly things that comes fleeing out of the card and flies away

They'd give you a bleeding heart attack

No!

Never heard of that. Oh Gawd, I hope I don't get one of those.

It's bad enough having to hoover, never mind coping with a bloody heart attack.

Don't. Get. Me. Started. On. That. Stuff.

There's this woman at work, and I KNOW she puts that stuff on every year, but somehow I forget and end up covered in the stuff, it's all over the bloody floor and keyboard and everywhere. And I'm still hoovering up bits of them sparkly party poppers with the stuff in out of our carpet, and that was a YEAR ago.
