Sometimes you HAVE to be PC

[Sheldonrs]

Yes, I know some people are sick of seeing "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas". Truth be told, I prefer the latter as well. But we are a non-profit charity that has to be as sensitive to as many as we can in order to raise as many donations as possible. The more donations we raise, the more wishes we can grant to very sick children.
So try to keep that in mind when you call or e-mail us to let us know you "REFUSE" to donate to us because we choose to be PC for the greater good.

Or if you prefer, how about we just pay to print up as many cards and certificates as we can to celebrate EVERY FRICKIN HOLIDAY in December and then give out YOUR home phone number to the families of those sick children that DON'T get a wish because we spent that money of your FRICKEN CARDS to keep YOU happy?!!!!!

Sometimes you have to pay attention to what gives the biggest benefit to the most important people. Sick children are more important.

I'm sorry people have to be such jerks.

SC: I refuse to give money to sick children because you didn't say what I wanted you to say!!!!!!
Me: You sir, are the most ultimate of douchebags. Have a good day.

Wow. People can be real douchenozzles!

Personally, I think it's just easier to say "happy holidays". There are a TON of them this time of year. I don't see why this has to be an issue for some people. Pehaps they don't have a life?

I wished a customer a "Merry Christmas" today and she replied "And, you have a happy holiday, too. I know you don't celebrate Christmas, so happy Solstice." Sometimes, customers understand and make your day at the same time.

Bingo.

(There's a Fratching thread on this too)

I don't get what's so wrong with "happy holidays". What, the uber-Xtians aren't getting holidays? I mean, surely everyone actually gets a holiday? Okay, some people like to think the seasonal greeting MUST have religion included somewhere, but let's face it, it's not like you're wishing them a happy Hannukah - almost everyone has "holidays" at that time of year. They're being included.

It irritates me when people get all bent out of arms not because you've excluded them, but because you've failed to exclude everyone but them.

Happy seasonal gift giving festival of your choosing. That usually shuts em right up.

*grin* I do actually. Axial Tilt... tis the reason for the season.

Bill O'Reillly was having a slow news month a few years ago, and his entitled white male Xtian ass decided that since we didn't all do what he did, it must be some evil conspiracy.

Happy Dies Natalis Solis Invicti!

I tell everyone happy Chrismukkah!

[El Pollo Guerrera]

I used to say "Happy Christmahanakwanzaka". I had to stop... got tired of explaining it to people. (It was in a commercial)

I would love to work at a place that had a DVD running... I'd be playing Toby Keith's "War on Christmas" on repeat all day (it's on the "A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift Of All" DVD).

[Plaidman]

I tell people Happy Holidays. The response has always been
"Corporate makes you say that huh!"


No. Matter of fact I'm not even required to say anything at all. I choose to say that to help celebrate the holidays. No matter what it is.

Got a few more complaints today. I've decided to say (in my head) "How about "Happy Justgiveusyourfuckingmoneyandshutthehellup Day!"
