WTF Stories of the Week

When people say "Happy Birthday" to me I don't respond "hey, I'm not the narcissist you obviously are to think that being born is somehow a special event and failure to die is worthy of note."

I got over that, and now I just take it in the spirit in which it was intended. This store employee obviously intended "Happy Hanukkah" to mean "we've marked you as a Jew and the clean up squad will be visiting your home this evening." So it was very important for the customer to clarify the situation.

And....

If these folks want to be so damn picky, Technically It's not Christmas or Hanukkah yet. "Happy Advent" would the the correct Christian greeting until Christmas eve.
