Coal Again, Huh?

Another day, another standoff with Santa. Every year some pushy guy throws on a Santa suit and hands out candy canes to the staff. Whatever. Last year I butted heads with him when he wouldn't take no for an answer. This year I decided to head him off at the pass. I wrote JEWISH with an arrow down and taped it above my desk. He managed to show up just as I took a big bite out of my turkey sandwich. He shoved a damn candy cane in my face and I shook my head. I figured that would be the end of it. HAH! The fucker started egging me on. "Oh come on... take it!" I pointed to the sign above me and he said, "What's the matter? Don't Jews eat candy?" I almost choked on my sandwich. All I could do was glare at him and angrily point my finger at the sign again. I looked like I was dancing disco. He finally shut the hell up and walked off. Behind him one of the IT guys said, "Best sign... EVER."

I lived my whole life in a Christian society. They didn't even call them 'holiday' parties back then. It was a Christmas party and everyone else had to deal with it. It never bothered me until people started expecting me to celebrate it like they did. Sing, exchange gifts, fart eggnog for all I care... just allow me to quietly go about my business without calling me a fucking poor sport. The fact that this guy was shoving some Christmas tradition in my face isn't even what annoyed me. I don't like candy canes. Why the hell should I have to go into some long explanation as to why I'm not taking it. No means NO. Last year telling him I didn't like them wasn't enough. It's like he had a quota or something. Next year I'm claiming diabetes.

Maybe you should go around shoving Dreidels into people's faces?

It's just respect man, if the guy didn't know the first time, you politely tell him that you're Jewish, and theoretically, he should go a bit sheepsih, apologize and move on. But in this little tale of idiocy he still comes at you? What a fucker.

Ohohoh! Next time he gives you a candy cane, take it all sweet-like then snap it in half and hand it back.
