If I was playing, which I wasn’t (didn’t even know this was a thing until seeing this thread), I would have been out at ~0615 this morning at work… Someone in my section was playing an Xmas compilation that was semi-drowning out the depot radio, when Last Christmas came on…
I spent an hour in the dentist this morning for a couple of fillings. My general anxiety* around people attacking my teeth with power tools was quickly overtaken when I noticed that there was Xmas music playing on a loop.
The relief when the loop came back around wham-less was huge- and by that time I was kinda over the power tool action anxiety and so just settled into minor irritation about the music choice.
I was out 5 days ago. As I feared it was the radio at work, I was sat in the staff room telling one of the staff about whamageddon, it was the next song that came on. I made her spray tea everywhere when I shouted ****!
I’m still in. I’m wfh 3 days a week so no danger there. Main danger is that I’m working part time as a supermarket delivery driver. In a different van every shift and the radio is left on, and also have to walk through the store at the start of every shift.
Bloody TOTP2 has done for me this year. Wasn’t even watching it, just flicking through the channels, but half a second was enough!
Note to self – must check Radio Times (BBC) and TV Times (ITV) in future for possible danger.
Hah, remember those days?🙄🤔
NOOOOOOoooooo should of known it would happen, come to see my parents for two weeks over Christmas and mum listens to smooth radio and I’ve just been hit! *falls down as if struck by death*
I’m still alive. I’m usually out immediately but I’m sitting in a huge, empty office while everyone else ‘works’ from home.
6 music on the radio and I’m going home in a hour. I think I’m safe now unless I get stung by the telly at home. Although, I might have to visit a supermarket at some point.
Listening to Planet Rock. Crappy Ozzy ballad comes on. Ms Beej says “hey, we could put on R2 and laugh at Rylan”. I say “Ah, but he might be playing Christmas songs”. Agree to live dangerously.
Turn over at 15.07.
Boom.
And now he’s gone and apologised to anyone playing Whamageddon!
I don’t go shopping. I don’t have to listen to music at work. The only radio station I listen to when I can’t Spotify is Absolute Rock. So unless it plays whilst I watch rugby on the telly (I hit mute whenever adverts come on.) I’ll be good til the end.
So I knew I was quite safe given my social and listening activities. Popped out for a short evening ride and got Whammed by the Round Table Santa float. Bugger.
My daughter keeps putting Heart radio on in the car when I see her but so far I have managed to avoid getting whamkered…. I bet I’ll get hit when I see her on Wednesday
Still in, Pretty sure I’ve not made it this far before. Thought I was done for when I heard the opening bars but Mrs Sims was listening to a version in French, so all good.
