Yesterday marked the end of good will for 2005. With the holiday season over people are now free to be rude and discourteous to one another. “Before Christmas, if I pushed someone out of my way, or cut them off in the parking lot they would play the ‘How can you act like that at Christmas?’ card. But now, they can’t say shit to me.” said local shopper Jake Dinglebox. It seems that every year nicety is forced upon the general public throughout the month of December. Studies show that after Christmas people cast off the shackles of politness and act extra bitchy to make up for the month they lost. Just ask Rex Spindle, who works in the returns department at a local Best Buy. “I thought I had seen the worst of humanity at the Thanksgiving sale, but that was a good day for these savages.” Science guys estimate that this heightened jerkness should level off about February, when the populace is forced to be nice to their significant others.
