Oi ok my vote will always be for no music if asked but I've come to accept that I am the only human being in existence that feels this way.
So on Labour day Tuesday I got to listen to my coworkers argue on and off for half an hour about what music to listen to while we worked. First someone puts on some country (which I actually like) but someone doesn't like this and bitches and whines and then as a "joke" unplugs the music. Well they plug it back in but after a while we let someone else have a turn (phones hooked up to speaker display). And they play this terrible miley cyrus song (searching on youtube reveals it was "we can't stop" which to me is nails on a fucking chalkboard) fortunately we switch to something else. My coworker Mr Sarcastic switches to some really fucking weird song that nobody likes and my manager bans him from playing more songs and she is finally fed up with the bickering and just says pick something and leave it which finally happens when my other coworker who has decent taste puts on her music and leaves it. But oh my god people it's just music we're scheduled to be here an hour and half after close can we just get some work done.
Then last night it's just a couple of us for half an hour after close and the PA is about play "I've got you babe" for the 500th time that day and I decide I don't want to listen to that song that time (especially given the last half of our version is nothing but them just chanting the song name over and over again for 1 minute solid) and cue my coworker complaining that I cut the music and I said I really don't want to listen that one song and I'll turn it back on after. So cue two coworkers who both start singing the song themselves just to bug me while laughing at me, and there I am asking them "please stop singing that song" multiple times. Here's a little known fact if I'm asking to politely stop something like that it means you are really bugging me and I'm resisting the urge to yell and swear at you especially consider I was tired, stressed and had a headache after dealing with the stupidest people ever and having break cut short because of them. (don't ask)
I'm still annoyed about this the next day.
