Anna, a shop assistant of three years, told AA News, "We see it a lot, actually, the milder effects of Mariahitus. You can see people's hands start to tremble, general irritability, and a twitch in their eye, but I've never seen a case this severe."
"You see, shop assistants have to build up a tolerance to Christmas music, so that we become immune to Mariahitus. Those on shopping sprees should be wary, if you aren’t prepared or if you aren't a very Christmassy person, Mariahitus can drive a person insane, or worse," Anna continued to tell AA News, with eyes as hollow as the black pit of Satan's heart.
"You just have to learn to live with it when you work in retail, it's a…necessity," she went on to say through a gritted teeth smile, and with a voice that haunted the air around her — glancing at the store radio all the while, wishing upon it a swift and merciless death.
