Move if not in the right section...
The following clip from The 40 Year Old Virgin illustrates my frustration perfectly:

Seriously...my workplace has not changed their overhead speaker music selection in at LEAST a decade. It's always the same loop of thirty or forty songs, played over and over and OVER. And it's not like most of them are bad songs, per se (although, of all the James Bond title songs they could have chosen, why Madonna's godawful title track for Die Another Day?), but I literally find myself cringing multiple times per day when I hear the same damn song I heard five times already that week. Why can't they just tune into a radio station, to allow customers and employees a bit of variety? I don't like overhead muzak in public spaces anyways (makes it very hard to concentrate when I'm on break reading a book or magazine), but it's become a form of psychological torture at this point. And I know it's supposed to be "subliminal" and I'm not even supposed to notice it's there, but it doesn't work.
