Not just annoying, just the worst song....

 

My candidate....

Unfortunately my partner loves that Dominic the Christmas Donkey one so I hear that more than the Grandma one.

I vaguely remember seeing some kind of TV special decades ago that introduced "Little Drummer Boy" and thinking it clashed with everything I had always known and accepted about the Christmas story. You can't just go creating new characters and narratives, can you?  Apparently...yes.

 

I'm sorry, but to this day that "bah-rumpa-bum-bump" song gives me the creeps.

 

I have issues with "Holly Jolly Christmas", too.  But that's a story for another time.

Either Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer or Dominick the Donkey. I'm not sure which is worst. The only thing that the Grandma song has going for it is that it was written as a parody. Dominick doesn't even have that.

 

Both my parents had issues with the Little Drummer Boy--for the same reasons as @Colleen Hendersondoes. My father had issues with Blue Christmas, but that was because he just didn't like Elvis. 

 

Another candidate is the one about the little boy buying red shoes for his dying mother on Christmas eve (Christmas shoes? Can't remember the title.) It's just plain sad on an occasion that should bre joyous.

I am going to vote for the Little Drummer Boy. It also creeps me out. Mainly because quite a few years ago (80's maybe) some clothing manufacturer used it in a commercial to sell womens jeans. Definitely not in the spirit of good taste!

This was popular when I was a kid.  It sucked then, and it sucks now:  "All I want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth."  Spike Jones and the City Slickers did the first recording of it.

LOL.  When I was a kid, there was an even worse variation of it, to the same tune, called "All I want for Christmas is a Beatle."  Click at your own risk... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ozoaBftyjI

I agree "Grandma got run over..." is one of the top five in my book, but then there's Alvin and the Chipmunks "Christmas don't be late"... Also "I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus" and for some reason "Silver Bells" songs just irritates me. I'd have to say "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" beats "Dominic the donkey," I guess I wasn't tortured enough with it. But much rather listen to Dominic the Donkey, over Alvin and the Chipmunks.... Anything is better.😑

I'd forgotten about Alvin and the Chipmunks. I think it may be due to psychological blocking it out. They sound like fingernails on a chalkboard or worse. I swear they qualify as torture no matter what they sing.

My wife despises "Little Drummer Boy" - I was okay with it until I heard versions by Johnny Cash AND Bob Dylan. Ouch.

That was hysterical Colleen.

A different definition of a roast, but well deserved!

Yeah, I forgot them too, until a teacher attempt to pick it for a movie to show a subclass for a bunch of middle school children. Had a brief PTSD moment. My ears are very sensitive. Luckily the children chose wisely and wanted to watch, Monsters Inc. Felt like I dodge a bullet, thought briefly about taking an unexpected leave of absence.

 

"Little drummer boy" is creepy, sounds like a death march, but I can at least listen to the full song without wishing for any and all Divine entities to show mercy upon my miserable soul by removing me from the material plane where them Chipmunks be singing.

Amen. I can well believe both the PTSD moment and I agree about the Little Drummer Boy. IMHO, that teacher should be tried for child abuse for even suggesting the Chipmunks. 🤣

Another candidate might be It's a Marshmallow World by Dean Martin. It's juet cringe-worthy.

IMHO the teacher would probably be fine with it and say they were doing their job perfectly. I think it was just a poor decision, cuz they were thinking about revenge but no thought for the only help in the room, who's now internally screaming.

The school we were working for, had difficult subjects(Children). The student had zero discipline, nightmare levels of why, but it's not all their fault, cuz school admin was to busy dodging disgruntled parents. Honestly, those children on average thought being in school is the equivalent of torture, but they're still learning.

Never heard that one. A new one for the cringe pile.

      I use my  chosen name online and when ever I can. I play some online game and only go by that name. That is how everyone there know me. Yes it does feel great to be called the name you prefer.

      I was ten years old when my mom walked in on me frolicking around my room dressed up in her bra, panties, and some pantyhose. I had been doing this in the privacy of my bedroom for a little while now so I had my own little stash box I kept full of different panties, bras, etc ... of hers. My mom's underwear was so easy for me to come by and she was a very attractive woman, classy, elegant. Well when she walked in on me, she looked at me with disgust and said to me... "If I wanted to run around like mommy's little girl instead of mommy's little boy, then she was going to treat me like mommy's little girl."  She left my bedroom after telling me NOT to change or get dressed or anything and returned with a few of her work skirts and blouses and such. She made me model off her outfits for her and I have to admit ... I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I felt so sexy, and feminine. And she knew I loved it.  She told me we can do this every weekend if I'd like. It would be OUR little secret.

      The usual social ways, of course.  Taking care of my partners and stepkids, being involved in my community.  That makes me feel good about my role.   As for physical validation and gender... probably the most euphoric experience is sex.  I grew up with my mother telling me that my flat and boyish body was strange, that my intersex anatomy was shameful, that no man would want me. So experiencing what I was told I could never have is physical proof that I'm actually worth something.

      <Moderator hat on>  I think that, at this point we need to get the thread back onto the topic, which is the judge's ruling on the ballot proposition.  If there is more to be said on the general principles of gendered spaces etc., please discuss them, carefully and respectfully, in separate threads. <Moderator hat off>

      People who have no understanding of transgender conditions should not be making policy for people dealing with it. Since it is such a small percentage of the population, and each individual is unique, and their circumstances are also unique, each situation needs to be worked with individually to see that the best possible solution is implemented for those involved. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      No.  You are getting stuck on one statement and pulling it out of context.   Trans kids have rights, but so do non-trans kids.  That conflict is best worked out in the individual situation. 
    • MaeBe
      I get the concept, I believe. You're trying to state that trans kids need to or should be excluded from binary gender spaces and that you acknowledge that answers to accommodate those kids may not be found through policy. I disagree with the capability of "penetration" as being the operative delimiter in the statement, however. I contest this statement is poorly chosen at best and smacks of prejudice at worst. That it perpetuates certain stereotypes, whether that was the intent or not.   Frankly, all kids should have the right to privacy in locker rooms, regardless of gender, sexuality, or anatomy. They should also have access to exercise and activities that other kids do and allow them to socialize in those activities. The more kids are othered, extracted, or barred from the typical school day the more isolated and stigmatized they become. That's not healthy for anyone, the excluded for obvious reasons and the included for others--namely they get to be the "haves" and all that entails.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Context.  Read the context.  Good grief.
    • MaeBe
      Please don't expect people to read manifold pages of fiction to understand a post.   There was a pointed statement made, and I responded to it. The statement used the term penetration, not "dissimilar anatomy causing social discomfiture", or some other reason. It was extended as a "rule" across very different social situations as well, locker and girl's bedrooms. How that term is used in most situations is to infer sexual contact, so most readers would read that and think the statement is that we "need to keep trans girl's penises out of cis girls", which reads very closely to the idea that trans people are often portrayed as sexual predators.   I understand we can't always get all of our thoughts onto the page, but this doesn't read like an under-cooked idea or a lingual short cut.

      I shopped online in the beginning of transition. I had great success with SHEIN and Torrid!

      Have you read the rest of what I wrote?   Please read between the lines of what I said about high school.  Go over and read my Taylor story.  Put two and two together.   That is all I will say about that.

      "I feel like I lost my husband," Lois told the therapist,"I want the man I married." Dr. Smith looked at Odie, sitting there in his men's clothing, looking awkward and embarrassed. "You have him.  This is just a part of him you did not know about. Or did not face." She turned to Odie,"Did you tear my wedding dress on our wedding night?" He admitted it.  She had a whole catalog of did-you and how-could you.  Dr. Smith encouraged her to let it all out. Thirty years of marriage.  Strange makeup in the bathroom.  The kids finding women's laundry in the laundry room. There was reconciliation. "What do we do now?" Dr. Smith said they had to work that out.  Odie began wearing women's clothing when not at work.  They visited a cross-dressers' social club but it did not appeal to them.  The bed was off limits to cross dressing.  She had limits and he could respect her limits.  Visits to relatives would be with him in men's clothing.    "You have nail polish residue," a co-worker pointed out.  Sure enough, the bottom of his left pinky nail was bright pink  His boss asked him to go home and fix it.  He did.   People were talking, he was sure, because he doubted he was anywhere as thorough as he wanted to be.  It was like something in him wanted to tell everyone what he was doing, and he was sloppy.   His boss dropped off some needed paperwork on a Saturday unexpectedly and found Odie dressed in a house dress and wig.  "What?" the boss said, shook his head, and left.  None of his business.   "People are talking," Lois said. "They are asking about this," she pointed to his denim skirt. "This seems to go past or deeper than cross dressing."   "Yes.  I guess we need some counseling."  And they went.
