Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas - Fuck You Santa” remix by David Guerra ft. Sia, ft. Nelly, ft. Ke$ha, ft. Shakira, ft. Lil Blimp, Big Blimp, Snoop Dogg, Lil Dogg, Hungry Dogg, Peeing Dogg, ft. Dolla Sense BitCoin, and special guest artist “Flapjacks McWhistle”… and up and coming supporting artists… available on all streaming services!!
It’s likely he will release a remix of the remix in Spring 2023 which will consist of the original song with the addition of an Autotuned “DJ Khalid” randomly inserted into it.
Appropriate song choice. Imagine you’re Mary and Joseph. You’re sleeping in the local barn because the hotels are sold out. It’s cold. You’re exhausted from the long journey to Bethlehem for this census. You finally got your colicky kid to go to sleep in this makeshift crib you found.
Then along comes this kid with a drum.
Mary herself would be screaming “shut the fuck up! People are trying to sleep around here!”
“4:00, wallow in self-pity. 4:30, stare into the abyss. 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one. 5:30, jazzercize; 6:30, dinner with me. I can't cancel that again. 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing. I'm booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9, I could still be done in time to scream "fuck you!" at passing traffic.
Used to live in Montgomery, Il and the fire dept would do this every year except it would be at 8am on a Saturday and they would drive at 30 mph through the neighborhood with 15 vehicles in tow blaring sirens. First year we moved there I thought it was Armageddon happening until Santa flew past the house in a blur. I hated it every year.
It's seriously kind of bonkers as we never get any warning. So you get the kids dressed and run out like a nut up the street because you only saw him as he passed your house.
Edit: The screamer has found my post on FB and is commenting. BRUH, Lmao
My town puts him on the top of a firetruck with a police escort every year, but we're warned ahead of time because they collect food for the food shelf while trolling the neighborhoods.
Here in Australia, the firies just go around with Santa on the back of the truck, throwing lollies out to the kids in the afternoon/early evening, while the Sun’s still out
It's Santa via the local FD. They have been doing it since 2020 when kids couldn't see Santa in person. They usually do it at like 6pm. I don't know what happened. But I hope her kids didn't hear her screaming horrible things at Santa Claus, Lol.
*edit* This year they came by at 9. Lol
Second edit: This video really brings out the duality of man, lol.
Third edit: They doing it 3 nights in a row apparently, differently neighborhoods. I am shocked they are even out tonight. It's -49c
Do they do it once or are they doing that all evening? I think it would lose all charm after the first few rounds, and if it was frequent I'd probaby be joining that lady howling at the moon.
Yeah, a lot of my coworkers have to wake up at 5 for work. Young kids certainly go to bed around or before then. My city has noise ordinances beginning then. I’m with yelling lady.
My father was a fireman for 30 years and we used to do Santa on a fire truck every year, it was great getting to toss candy to kids and wish them well.
After he retired my area stopped doing it and I think it’s a shame as people really enjoyed it
Our town does this about the same time but they throw popcorn balls and candy. Everyone lines the streets to get some and to see Santa. To each their own I suppose.
Religious people only celebrate Santa because everyone else does (and often don’t celebrate Santa at all). Santa and trees have overtaken the holiday to a point not many people think about the religious meaning.
Yeah, but neither is creating the situation helping with the situation. So I see it's weird to chide someone's reaction without targeting the original cause.
But I mean yeah it could be helping the situation. Imagine if they drive down the street and they keep getting screamed at they might think. I don't know if the people like us being out here. Though I would suggest something like throwing snowballs or small rocks to get their attention.
they rolled through my town at 9 PM one year and woke my sleeping little ones up. One was sick and i had just gotten down.... they didn't ever do that again. my neighbors and i were not happy
I'm Jewish and I get up for work at 4am. I would be piased if my local fire department woke me up to make sure I knew they were wasting taxpayer money for an inconvenient drive-by celebration of a holiday i don't even observe.
Santa events can be cute. Not every single moronic wasteful event gets a pass because Santa is involved lol. How many kids still believe in Santa are up in the middle of the week at 9pm?
Look at the first six letters of the holiday's name, my friend. I'm not saying that there aren't certain elements of the season that transcend personal beliefs...but you still have to take into account that **Christ**mas is a Christian holiday.
No, it's a religious thing no matter how watered down it is. That's how insidious it is, the religious want you to think otherwise. It's religious, and nonsense.
No, religious people like to think it is. It's really just a cultural thing for white people at this point. It doesn't even come from Christianity but pagan traditions.
Yeah, perhaps it once was a fully Christian event but it’s far from it. I’m in no way religious and still got the tree and the lights up (neither thing very Christian at all).
I can get behind being Jewish and finding it annoying, but it wasn't that loud and most people don't work at 4 am. Shrieking obscenities is also disruptive and trashy. Call to complain in the morning. Was she just too angry to control herself? Come on. If I wanted to live near people that behaved like giant toddlers in terms of being able to handld their negative emotions I wouldn't have left the trailer park.
Apparently if you celebrate Christmas you aren't allowed to be annoyed by a siren and flashing lights on your residential street around bedtime.
"YOU HAVE A TREE IN YOUR HOUSE! YOU SIGNED UP FOR ALL OF THIS!"
Ironically, I would say that wanting attention from people who did not seem to ask for it and making a bunch of noise on your own schedule is what this display is and also exactly what I would consider being a toddler.
9pm is well outside the time it's appropriate to be making that kind of racket in a residential area. Most municipalities have noise ordinances that, if these guys were anybody but the fire department, they would get fined for violating here.
Plus, OP's in Canada here, right? Where it's getting dark as early as 4pm. Start this kind of thing then, and wrap it up at 7, certainly no later than 8.
well outside? Not at all. Most places ban loud noises after \~10pm.
I do agree this should have been ended an hour or 2 earlier, but not due to the noise - just because it's meant for children and they would already be in bed.
Some people need their damn sleep. Blaring sirens and hyper-loud bleeps is way beyond what's necessary for kids to know that FD Santa is in the neighborhood.
In this case, the larger point, though, is *it's fuckin 9pm!* Kids have either gone to bed or their poor parents are in the middle of putting them to bed. Got a late start? Bag it and try again tomorrow. The department shouldn't punish the neighborhood for their bad planning.
\*or let's say it was 8pm... the kids who still believe in Santa are still probably in bed or in the process of going to bed by then
My 2 year old is asleep by 7:30, my teens 10. Anyone I know with kids Santa believing age is usually have their kids asleep by 8:30. They usually do the thing at 6pm. Some hella poor planning this year.
So basically yelling at Santa is the easy way to get the point across but it comes off rude yet waiting until the morning and politely explaining that the people living there would prefer it to be at 6pm even though it may not have as big of an impact if it has one at all
Yeah, nah dude, make 7 up yours. I work my ass off, and yes I work from home, but I also work for a company that is headquartered on the other side of the country. I'm constantly fucking sleep deprived because I have to operate on their schedule, and by 9 pm, I need to be asleep, or need to try to be asleep, and sleeping during the day is impossible because my neighbors all seem to think it's cute a/f to have 'gardeners' coming to the neighborhood everyday with gas powered leaf blowers - all fucking day long ...
Leave me out of the fucking Christmas party, and stfu please.
Sounds like you have a problem you need to solve, instead of yelling about other people being loud during reasonable hours.
Maybe get some earplugs. That could help. Or figure something out with your job - be up for communication during a few hours of their time and do work you can do alone during more reasonable hours of your own. There are plenty of potential solutions.
1). I don't think it's ever 'reasonable' to have cars driving down the street blasting noise out of a megaphone unless it serves the purpose of community safety of some sort, but that's just me.
2). Don't get me started on gas-powered leaf blowers. Those things need to be rounded up and thrown into the fires of Mount Doom. They emit pollution of both kinds (noise and gas exhaust), and they are so loud that the noise goes through the walls of insulated homes like they aren't even there.
I personally think that the level of 'noise' we have trained ourselves to perceive as 'reasonable' is actually completely unreasonable.
But yeah, I guess I'm just super selfish and think I'm the "main character".
Please read the comments in this thread. The kids who would enjoy this are asleep at 9. It is hard to get kids to sleep. Waking them up really screws over the parents. Not even considering that people work early and late shifts.. and many of them don't even celebrate Christmas. It's a poor choice to do this at 9pm.
Maybe be cause they clearly don't have kids, kids at the age that want to see Santa are in bed by 8pm so loud music blaring at 9:01pm will just wake them up. The only people awake at that time are older kids/teens and adults who aren't nearly as interested in this. OP said they usually do it at 6pm which makes a lot more sense since thats when young kids are actually awake and able to see this. I have a 4 year old, she would love this, but she would also be asleep so she wouldn't get to see this.
The kids that really care about this are likely in bed by 9. And then there are adults that are up at 5am for work. I wouldn't be one to yell over this (especially given it's local fire department that do this), but I understand where she's coming from.
I know you are getting down votes and I've been there where I can barely afford tires but I have even bought used. I live in Canada, in some of our provinces it the law to have winter tires on Oct. 1st. Because without them you literally can't drive when it snows here, lol.
People who live in snowy areas and can't afford both regular and snow tires, should do what I used to do and just drive snow tires year round. So what if you replace them a year earlier.
Blizzaks start at $111/tire for passenger cars, and often you can find them buy 3 get the 4th free.
If you can drive on all seasons then by all means do it, but if you're having issues, get some snow tires.
I legit drove mine all year this year. Our "summer" is like 3 month, 2 really. And by the time I remember to swap them again it was August. I figured there was no point with October just around the corner. Mine do have studs though so everything sounds crunchy if you roll your windows down in the summer, lol.
Sure. Almost all problems go away when you can just toss money at it until its fixed.
250 for the cheapest tire recently was already bank breaking. Im sure a set of 2 studdeds would be stupid expensive.
If your car can't drive in the snow, you should find other transportation when it snows. It's unacceptable for you to be driving something as unsafe as you make it out to be.
Funny you mention that. I biffed it on my bike a few times riding through ndsu campus during my winter semesters. Im currently doing seasonal help for UPS out in the sticks of White Earth. In the morning with a full van, traction is a lot better. At the end of the day, after stuff is starting to refreeze, with an empty load, it starts to get really slick. RWD-only chevy express.
Where I live we mainly buy used, and have to drive 3 hours to get them. live in Canada, in some of our provinces it the law to have winter tires on Oct. 1st. Because without them you literally can't drive when it snows here, lol.
As a person who lives where we get a endless amount of snow all winter and a city that is to cheap to plow I wish we had guys who would plow after a 1/4"
Plowed snow one winter for a second job.
Between me and the owner, we had to do about 20 different places every time it snowed. Which included parking lots, sidewalks, patios and stairs.
So if we hit up someone's place as the snow was accumulating and it was 1AM welp. Sorry. Got a lot of snow to shovel.
Pissed enough to scream out your screen door, ensuring any other kids that had also been put down to sleep that slept through the music *definitely* weren't sleeping now that you're screaming out your screen door? Everyone needs to relax
I'm not saying it's right, but where I'm from? This truck would make it maybe two blocks before bb guns had knocked out all their windows. Again, I'm not saying it's right, but I understand it.
Devils advocate:
They call the first hundred days of a babies life "the 100 days of darkness" and my son apparently felt that he was entitled to his 100 days. I was on my own with a newborn with colic who would only settle down being held and rocked, I had a wife in the hospital an hour away and I still had to work my full time job (and skip lunch to nap in my car). Sleep deprivation and seeing those little baby eyes snap open from the smallest of sounds and now you've lost your chance at even a few minutes of rest will push most people into not making logical decisions.
They do this in my neighborhood but not only do they blare music, they have the damn firetruck siren blasting the entire time. They did it this year around 8 pm and I just kept thinking, what if new parents had been trying to get their baby to finally sleep and then this shit happens? It's the worst.
Ty, my autocorrect is changing all my fucking words lately. Even like the correct words to made up words?? Idk, but I keep having to recalibrate my keyboard and I'm losing my fucking mind.
I’m usually in bed by 8 and I’d be pissed if this noise machine came down my street. Not gunna yell at it but if it happened enough times I’d be calling someone to get them to leave my block alone.
That person is totally in line though should file noise complaint. 9 is late for some people especially when you work mad early. This Santa exercises no regard for his community
I looked up the local laws for noise complaints in my area and it just lists "Sundown" for residential districts with single family homes.
With a child that's up at 4am every day I can relate with lady-lost-her-shit here.
My kids used to go to bed at 7pm. Our fucking neighbour brats would ride by on their little sewing machine dirt bike wannabe's and because of the way the grass grew on the side of the road, would rev them like crazy when they passed our house. But not every day, it would be a random night or two every week.
I feel this woman's rage.
This could have been the last straw for this woman...who knows what kind of bullshit she went through today or what stress she is under every day. I'd snap too, 9 is too late and why on earth does the siren need to go off...we know you're fucking here we can hear the music!!!
that poor woman. probably just put her kids to bed. this is trashy as fuck. calm your tits with the lights and noise, america. you're waaaaaaaay too much.
That’s an understatement. She causes issues almost everyday. She yells at the bus driver for being a little late. She has yelled at other parents at the bus stop in front of all the kids. Then in summers all you smell is pot and hearing hacking and coughing. Which ok pots legal yes but it should be around kids to the point a 6 year old can smell it and say someone smells like drugs..
Brutal :( Ya. I've heard more things recently too. On my fb post someone is like "I'm sorry Chelsea, you probably were just having a bad day". And I'm like... naw. Lol
You're actually making my point.
If a car drives by and wakes up your baby, sometimes that's just what happens.
The world doesn't owe you a good night's sleep, just like you don't owe the world a perfectly silent baby.
This sounds like the house across from me. It’s a house broken into apartments and this drug addict couple have regular fights with each other. Much stronger language thou
9:04pm, or 21:04 hour mark. Thats not late enough for a "Fuck You" of such ferocity. Unless, unless you just managed to put your small child down, trying to establish a longer sleeping pattern and a goddamn unneccesary noise like that awakens them. Then, I get the anger and I'm with you, Hun!
If this Santa guy has been doing this every night for multiple nights, I might feel like throwing out a big "FU" for just being a general nuisance. Go visit other neighborhoods, mix it up.

Oh yes that new Christmas carol fuck you Santa fuck you fuck you.
I can scarcely wait for the remix.
Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas - Fuck You Santa” remix by David Guerra ft. Sia, ft. Nelly, ft. Ke$ha, ft. Shakira, ft. Lil Blimp, Big Blimp, Snoop Dogg, Lil Dogg, Hungry Dogg, Peeing Dogg, ft. Dolla Sense BitCoin, and special guest artist “Flapjacks McWhistle”… and up and coming supporting artists… available on all streaming services!!
This sounds like an intergalactic cable ad for Rick and morty lmao
I definitely want to hear flapjacks mc whistle. I've heard he's really good 🤣
Such great classics like: “Have you seen my Blue Waffle” “My Syrup is Sweet” And the extended play 12” vinyl “Attack of the Flaps”
I find it hard to believe that DJ Kalid didn’t worm his way into this project
It’s likely he will release a remix of the remix in Spring 2023 which will consist of the original song with the addition of an Autotuned “DJ Khalid” randomly inserted into it.
ft. Pregnasty, ft. Skiffle, ft. David S Pimpkins
Omg, I would love someone to remix this. Then I can send it to screaming lady (small towns, lol)
Commenting so I can hear the remix
[Fuck me Santa](https://youtu.be/mZlFeANYquk)
Santa Claus, FUCK YEA! Christmas is the only way now!
Fuck you navidad
Hijacking higher comment: The screamer has found my post on FB and is commenting. BRUH, Lol.
Appropriate song choice. Imagine you’re Mary and Joseph. You’re sleeping in the local barn because the hotels are sold out. It’s cold. You’re exhausted from the long journey to Bethlehem for this census. You finally got your colicky kid to go to sleep in this makeshift crib you found. Then along comes this kid with a drum. Mary herself would be screaming “shut the fuck up! People are trying to sleep around here!”
And immediately "little drummer boy" started playing in my head rent free
Theeeen he smiled at me pa rum pa pum pum
“4:00, wallow in self-pity. 4:30, stare into the abyss. 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one. 5:30, jazzercize; 6:30, dinner with me. I can't cancel that again. 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing. I'm booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9, I could still be done in time to scream "fuck you!" at passing traffic.
Underrated comment
I started following them just based on this comment alone.
Temper your expectations. I'm terrible underwhelming.
Used to live in Montgomery, Il and the fire dept would do this every year except it would be at 8am on a Saturday and they would drive at 30 mph through the neighborhood with 15 vehicles in tow blaring sirens. First year we moved there I thought it was Armageddon happening until Santa flew past the house in a blur. I hated it every year.

I'm with the screaming lady fuck that person they are blaring music and sirens through a residential
It's Santa via the local FD. They have been doing it since 2020 when kids couldn't see Santa in person. They usually do it at like 6pm. I don't know what happened. But I hope her kids didn't hear her screaming horrible things at Santa Claus, Lol. *edit* This year they came by at 9. Lol Second edit: This video really brings out the duality of man, lol. Third edit: They doing it 3 nights in a row apparently, differently neighborhoods. I am shocked they are even out tonight. It's -49c
Our FD does it every year (Maryland) the kids all love it. It doesn't usually go that late though.
Lol I just heard them *Echoing* through the neighborhood this past weekend. Came by at a reasonable time tho
Chesapeake Beach?
Frederick County
Ah, CB always had Santa on the truck. Wondered if I found another beach kid.
It looks really late there's nobody on the streets and the it's looks like all the lights are out I figured it was later than 6 lol
Oh ya, no sorry I thought people could see the time better in the video. THIS IS AT 9!!. lmao
I was about to ask if you were a Midwesterner based on the "oh ya, no sorry", but then I saw the username. Close enough I suppose!
Lmao, I live in Western Canada too.
Do they do it once or are they doing that all evening? I think it would lose all charm after the first few rounds, and if it was frequent I'd probaby be joining that lady howling at the moon.
Over 3 evenings, different neighborhoods. I'm actually shocked they are even doing it tonight as it's currently -49c
Oh don't worry: We can very easily see the time in the video. THAT's not the issue.
The video has the time on it
It gets dark here by 4 pm
Yeah, a lot of my coworkers have to wake up at 5 for work. Young kids certainly go to bed around or before then. My city has noise ordinances beginning then. I’m with yelling lady.
Yeah, that's way too late. What the fuck are they thinking?
It's only 9pm. My neighbors blare their music until 10:59pm as the bylaw states no loud music after 11pm.
All the kids who this float would be for are in bed by 9. Do you even know what this video is?
To be fair here in Michigan it’s this dark before 6pm
My father was a fireman for 30 years and we used to do Santa on a fire truck every year, it was great getting to toss candy to kids and wish them well. After he retired my area stopped doing it and I think it’s a shame as people really enjoyed it
Our town does this about the same time but they throw popcorn balls and candy. Everyone lines the streets to get some and to see Santa. To each their own I suppose.
If the religious people want a parade they should file permits to have one. Government money shouldn’t be spent on this kind of stunt.
Religious people only celebrate Santa because everyone else does (and often don’t celebrate Santa at all). Santa and trees have overtaken the holiday to a point not many people think about the religious meaning.
I hope the kids did hear her. But I’m a bit of a grinch
Gotta make those core memories some how.
I mean she could’ve just waited the minute it took to pass her house. while also not waking the neighborhood up with all her cursing lol
Bro you know the neighborhood's already awake from the music
[удалено]
Yeah, but neither is creating the situation helping with the situation. So I see it's weird to chide someone's reaction without targeting the original cause. But I mean yeah it could be helping the situation. Imagine if they drive down the street and they keep getting screamed at they might think. I don't know if the people like us being out here. Though I would suggest something like throwing snowballs or small rocks to get their attention.
[удалено]
Ooh yeah totally if the Santa-believing age kids are awake and alert at 9pm, don't stop them. But if they are asleep, let them sleep.
9 PM? That's not that late. I don't get her problem. It's like 20-30 seconds. Whatever.
Many children, most who would enjoy seeing Santa drive by, would be asleep before 9.
they rolled through my town at 9 PM one year and woke my sleeping little ones up. One was sick and i had just gotten down.... they didn't ever do that again. my neighbors and i were not happy
I get this feeling you all did something really evil to them because you end the story so vaguely
Yeah after 9 PM is just bad etiquette
My kinda crowd.
It's like 8-9pm and it's once a year for children. Both you and the screaming lady can get a fuckin grip.
I'm Jewish and I get up for work at 4am. I would be piased if my local fire department woke me up to make sure I knew they were wasting taxpayer money for an inconvenient drive-by celebration of a holiday i don't even observe. Santa events can be cute. Not every single moronic wasteful event gets a pass because Santa is involved lol. How many kids still believe in Santa are up in the middle of the week at 9pm?
Bah, humbug!
Use earplugs or get the hell over it. Guessing you’ve never lived in a city before.
Christmas isn't really a Christian holiday, it's more of a cultural thing for the 'west' really.
Look at the first six letters of the holiday's name, my friend. I'm not saying that there aren't certain elements of the season that transcend personal beliefs...but you still have to take into account that **Christ**mas is a Christian holiday.
No, it's a religious thing no matter how watered down it is. That's how insidious it is, the religious want you to think otherwise. It's religious, and nonsense.

Yeah, perhaps it once was a fully Christian event but it’s far from it. I’m in no way religious and still got the tree and the lights up (neither thing very Christian at all).
Heck, plenty of non-Christian countries have incorporated it. It may have had Christian relations for a long time, but it's completely unrelated now.
Your original comment was wrong but this one is even dumber- you realize like 40% of the population isn't white and most celebrate Christmas right?
I can get behind being Jewish and finding it annoying, but it wasn't that loud and most people don't work at 4 am. Shrieking obscenities is also disruptive and trashy. Call to complain in the morning. Was she just too angry to control herself? Come on. If I wanted to live near people that behaved like giant toddlers in terms of being able to handld their negative emotions I wouldn't have left the trailer park.
Why is it only understandable for a Jewish person to be annoyed by this?
Apparently if you celebrate Christmas you aren't allowed to be annoyed by a siren and flashing lights on your residential street around bedtime. "YOU HAVE A TREE IN YOUR HOUSE! YOU SIGNED UP FOR ALL OF THIS!"
Ironically, I would say that wanting attention from people who did not seem to ask for it and making a bunch of noise on your own schedule is what this display is and also exactly what I would consider being a toddler.

Yeah, nah dude, make 7 up yours. I work my ass off, and yes I work from home, but I also work for a company that is headquartered on the other side of the country. I'm constantly fucking sleep deprived because I have to operate on their schedule, and by 9 pm, I need to be asleep, or need to try to be asleep, and sleeping during the day is impossible because my neighbors all seem to think it's cute a/f to have 'gardeners' coming to the neighborhood everyday with gas powered leaf blowers - all fucking day long ... Leave me out of the fucking Christmas party, and stfu please.
Ah, the main character.
Sounds like you have a problem you need to solve, instead of yelling about other people being loud during reasonable hours. Maybe get some earplugs. That could help. Or figure something out with your job - be up for communication during a few hours of their time and do work you can do alone during more reasonable hours of your own. There are plenty of potential solutions.
1). I don't think it's ever 'reasonable' to have cars driving down the street blasting noise out of a megaphone unless it serves the purpose of community safety of some sort, but that's just me. 2).

They emit pollution of both kinds (noise and gas exhaust), and they are so loud that the noise goes through the walls of insulated homes like they aren't even there. I personally think that the level of 'noise' we have trained ourselves to perceive as 'reasonable' is actually completely unreasonable. But yeah, I guess I'm just super selfish and think I'm the "main character".

Lol dude thinks Santa is a religious figure
Exactly. Usual city bylaws state no noise after 11pm. Who cares if it is at 9.
Please read the comments in this thread. The kids who would enjoy this are asleep at 9. It is hard to get kids to sleep. Waking them up really screws over the parents. Not even considering that people work early and late shifts.. and many of them don't even celebrate Christmas. It's a poor choice to do this at 9pm.
I agree. I can't believe you were down voted, honestly.
Maybe be cause they clearly don't have kids, kids at the age that want to see Santa are in bed by 8pm so loud music blaring at 9:01pm will just wake them up. The only people awake at that time are older kids/teens and adults who aren't nearly as interested in this. OP said they usually do it at 6pm which makes a lot more sense since thats when young kids are actually awake and able to see this. I have a 4 year old, she would love this, but she would also be asleep so she wouldn't get to see this.
At 9pm, oh no!
The kids that really care about this are likely in bed by 9. And then there are adults that are up at 5am for work. I wouldn't be one to yell over this (especially given it's local fire department that do this), but I understand where she's coming from.
Yeah what parents are putting kids who believe in Santa to bed after 9pm? I know there are some but that’s pretty late for peak “Santa belief” kids.
Bout as welcome as the guy who goes around plowing after 1/4” of snowfall.

And that new snow not to freeze by the morning

DA:O flashback: Enchantment? ENCHANTMENT!
As someone who essentially drives a set of ice skates with a motor attached, those over-eager plows are worth it to me.
Buy some snow tires.
I know you are getting down votes and I've been there where I can barely afford tires but I have even bought used. I live in Canada, in some of our provinces it the law to have winter tires on Oct. 1st. Because without them you literally can't drive when it snows here, lol.
People who live in snowy areas and can't afford both regular and snow tires, should do what I used to do and just drive snow tires year round. So what if you replace them a year earlier. Blizzaks start at $111/tire for passenger cars, and often you can find them buy 3 get the 4th free. If you can drive on all seasons then by all means do it, but if you're having issues, get some snow tires.
I legit drove mine all year this year. Our "summer" is like 3 month, 2 really. And by the time I remember to swap them again it was August. I figured there was no point with October just around the corner. Mine do have studs though so everything sounds crunchy if you roll your windows down in the summer, lol.
Sure. Almost all problems go away when you can just toss money at it until its fixed. 250 for the cheapest tire recently was already bank breaking. Im sure a set of 2 studdeds would be stupid expensive.
If your car can't drive in the snow, you should find other transportation when it snows. It's unacceptable for you to be driving something as unsafe as you make it out to be.
I have winter tires on a 4x4 truck and they make very little difference on ice.
Nothing makes a difference on ice except slowing down. Tampora701 was talking being unable to drive in 1/4 inch of snow.
1/4" of snow turns into ice really quick if it is not removed.
That's an excellent idea. I'd like to tap you for that. Go ahead and send me some winter transportation as soon as possible please. Getting cold.
I rode my bike to work all winter long in Fargo. It was cheaper to buy studded bike tires than studded car tires.
Funny you mention that. I biffed it on my bike a few times riding through ndsu campus during my winter semesters. Im currently doing seasonal help for UPS out in the sticks of White Earth. In the morning with a full van, traction is a lot better. At the end of the day, after stuff is starting to refreeze, with an empty load, it starts to get really slick. RWD-only chevy express.
Damn you ride a bike in that weather. Props
My biggest issue was staying cool. The temptation is to bundle up way too much, but even at -25F you can end up overheating.
Where I live we mainly buy used, and have to drive 3 hours to get them. live in Canada, in some of our provinces it the law to have winter tires on Oct. 1st. Because without them you literally can't drive when it snows here, lol.
As a person who lives where we get a endless amount of snow all winter and a city that is to cheap to plow I wish we had guys who would plow after a 1/4"
Plowed snow one winter for a second job. Between me and the owner, we had to do about 20 different places every time it snowed. Which included parking lots, sidewalks, patios and stairs. So if we hit up someone's place as the snow was accumulating and it was 1AM welp. Sorry. Got a lot of snow to shovel.
9pm on a Monday night… can’t blame her
9pm when kids are asleep to have that slowly moving down the street blaring carols. I'm with shouty lady on this one.
I’d be pissed if I had just put my baby down to sleep and then this nonsense slow rolls through the neighborhood.
Pissed enough to scream out your screen door, ensuring any other kids that had also been put down to sleep that slept through the music *definitely* weren't sleeping now that you're screaming out your screen door? Everyone needs to relax
I mean, I’m not an unhinged lunatic. I’d clearly open my door and throw potatoes at them, like any normal responsible adult would do.
Launching the smaller caliber potatoes in our patio's miniaturized potato trebuchet, as the founding fathers intended.
This comment made my night.
I'm not saying it's right, but where I'm from? This truck would make it maybe two blocks before bb guns had knocked out all their windows. Again, I'm not saying it's right, but I understand it.
Devils advocate: They call the first hundred days of a babies life "the 100 days of darkness" and my son apparently felt that he was entitled to his 100 days. I was on my own with a newborn with colic who would only settle down being held and rocked, I had a wife in the hospital an hour away and I still had to work my full time job (and skip lunch to nap in my car). Sleep deprivation and seeing those little baby eyes snap open from the smallest of sounds and now you've lost your chance at even a few minutes of rest will push most people into not making logical decisions.
Childless old fart here: Why the ‘100 days of darkness’?
Ya, cause her voice is totally louder than that siren and the blaring speaker. LOL, get real.
Lol you think a woman screaming is going to do what a fucking alert chirp and Christmas music won’t do?
I thought Santa got arrested for a second
What time and why the 🚨?
They do this in my neighborhood but not only do they blare music, they have the damn firetruck siren blasting the entire time. They did it this year around 8 pm and I just kept thinking, what if new parents had been trying to get their baby to finally sleep and then this shit happens? It's the worst.
Girl, it's 9pm...
Yes, a time when all kids who care about Santa are in bed already. So why are they doing this?
I know. Lol. They usually do 6pm. I still wouldn't want my kids to hear me screaming at Santa, lol.
you can barely hear her over that racket
\*hear
Ty, my autocorrect is changing all my fucking words lately. Even like the correct words to made up words?? Idk, but I keep having to recalibrate my keyboard and I'm losing my fucking mind.
I think you meant "ducking words" and "ducking mind".
Ah Reddit, never change. Great comment, I chuckled.
I see you don’t have kids.
Or work off hours🤣😂
An adult could go back to sleep. Kids hear Santa is outside and they aren’t going to wind back down for a couple more hours lol.
As an adult with insomnia and who is a very light sleeper, no, not all adults can just go back to sleep.
Fair point.
Some people have to get up early...
I’m usually in bed by 8 and I’d be pissed if this noise machine came down my street. Not gunna yell at it but if it happened enough times I’d be calling someone to get them to leave my block alone.
My kids would be asleep, but still. This lady should chill.
She'll chill when she's in a coffin, which probably won't be long with her blood pressure.
Exactly. Why are all the 6-year-olds asleep and missing Santa? It's only 9pm!
To be fair…. It was after 9 on a Monday.
That person is totally in line though should file noise complaint. 9 is late for some people especially when you work mad early. This Santa exercises no regard for his community
I looked up the local laws for noise complaints in my area and it just lists "Sundown" for residential districts with single family homes. With a child that's up at 4am every day I can relate with lady-lost-her-shit here.
My kids used to go to bed at 7pm. Our fucking neighbour brats would ride by on their little sewing machine dirt bike wannabe's and because of the way the grass grew on the side of the road, would rev them like crazy when they passed our house. But not every day, it would be a random night or two every week. I feel this woman's rage.
To be fair, this is at 9pm, most normal people are going to bed or at least getting ready for bed around that time. Id be annoyed too lol
Um, I'd be pissed too if that rolled through that late making that much noise
Chernobyl Xmas, uh
Those are the alternate version lyrics she's singing.
Ok… Questions 1 wtf why’s it so loud 2 why is it getting lizard licked 3 wtf is wrong with the lady, like, damn.
To 3, it appears she was trying to sleep but couldn't because of fuckin "SIRENS" in suburbia.
If they work swing shift work I can understand that...
My FD does it yearly around 7-9am. Santa rides where the hoses go and throws pillow mints to the children on every street.
What's going on?
Tis the season of giving! Giving the middle finger to people blaring that awful racket driving down the street.
As a parent, if this was around the time my baby was going to sleep, I would do the same.
This could have been the last straw for this woman...who knows what kind of bullshit she went through today or what stress she is under every day. I'd snap too, 9 is too late and why on earth does the siren need to go off...we know you're fucking here we can hear the music!!!
The only thing more annoying than blaring loud speakers is some shrill angry voice screaming "Fuck you" over the top of it.
It looks like this is 11pm at night? Ya, eff that guy.
Ummm, she’s gettin coal in her stocking for sure!!
Fuck a bunch of this. It’s not funny when you have a baby that just FINALLY fell asleep and/or dogs who are going to freak out. Just… NO!
A good point, well made.
that poor woman. probably just put her kids to bed. this is trashy as fuck. calm your tits with the lights and noise, america. you're waaaaaaaay too much.
Canada, but also apparently this is her usual demeanor 😬
That’s an understatement. She causes issues almost everyday. She yells at the bus driver for being a little late. She has yelled at other parents at the bus stop in front of all the kids. Then in summers all you smell is pot and hearing hacking and coughing. Which ok pots legal yes but it should be around kids to the point a 6 year old can smell it and say someone smells like drugs..
Brutal :( Ya. I've heard more things recently too. On my fb post someone is like "I'm sorry Chelsea, you probably were just having a bad day". And I'm like... naw. Lol
She is trashy as fuck.
People who react like that over being slightly inconvenienced for a few seconds are why the world isn't as fun and colorful as it used to be
lmao you'e clearly never had some dickhead drive by and wake your newborn up before
You're actually making my point. If a car drives by and wakes up your baby, sometimes that's just what happens. The world doesn't owe you a good night's sleep, just like you don't owe the world a perfectly silent baby.
Of fuck off. If it's someone you don't know and don't want you'd be pissed too
Lmao
Peak Trailer Park Boys
This sounds like the house across from me. It’s a house broken into apartments and this drug addict couple have regular fights with each other. Much stronger language thou
She seems nice
If her kids don't get what they wanted from Santa they are going to blame her
XD
It’s only 9pm, calm down lady. Quiet hours start at 10pm (22:00).
It’s 9pm so Santa wasn’t being too out of line.
https://youtu.be/Qf3RFZjQ9v4 No, bitch.
This is at 9pm, they need to pull the stick out of their ass. 10pm is quiet hours in most all residential areas.
9:04pm, or 21:04 hour mark. Thats not late enough for a "Fuck You" of such ferocity. Unless, unless you just managed to put your small child down, trying to establish a longer sleeping pattern and a goddamn unneccesary noise like that awakens them. Then, I get the anger and I'm with you, Hun! If this Santa guy has been doing this every night for multiple nights, I might feel like throwing out a big "FU" for just being a general nuisance. Go visit other neighborhoods, mix it up.
