@OP As a truck driver myself you are welcome
mydailydoseofantidepressantsisyourbooty
Thank you for including truck drivers. I feel like they're the unsung heroes of the US. Brother is one, and it ain't easy!
Kalel64595
you're welcome. as a casino employee. it's disgustingly busy. depressing really.
Soulumn
I work in a nursing home and scheduled to work the holiday :)
oheeohahahtingtangwallawallabingbang
Lab staff-the forgotten heroes
ozzylizard
Unseen heros -if seen, females get called nurses and us males at least get called Dr. once in awhile.
jonlonton
I help keep the electricity flowing to your homes 24\7. Awesome job!
MTHavoc
To the cashiers that have to listen to "you guys don't have anything on the shelves" because it's Christmas eve
IMainReinhardt
I work at toys r us. Thank you. Im here for 14 hours.
taichanie
As a truck driver. The only reason I'm working though christmas if because I choose to. (Overtime would be nice...)
skelitor120
I find it odd that it lists hotel staff and not the retail workers who found themselves in a hellish bumblefuck of a store on --
skelitor120
-- Black Friday, Thanksgiving, Xmas Eve, Christmas, AND New Years. But yeah, hotel staff are underrecognized too at least
assholecasserole
My wife and I are spending the holiday in the hospital, because we just had a baby! So I don't even mind!
Wwyrick
Also strippers, and bouncers
Keiliana
My husband is going to work 12 hours on Christmas because we need the money. I am going to miss him while he is working :)
CabooseRvsB
And to all the service members out there... Thank you for keeping us safe to browse imgur!
Muskrat42
No prob, bob
TheDuke0fHazzard
Imma say that every time I'm thanked for my service
rdubbs
How about to the bartenders!
charliegrs
Don't forget the IT people who are currently sitting at work on imgur
TheElusiveEnchilada
Don't forget strippers putting in extra hours
axonjaxon
its a dirty job, but someone's got to do it
stratus41298
Wow. For once medics are mentioned but not police or fire. I love you OP.
blindoctor
Police were mentioned with medics
stratus41298
Ahh damnit. Oh well. Guess I'm downgrading from love to friends with benefits.
Selfmedic8
I'm with you there. Thankfully I get off work tomorrow morning. Closest I've come to having Christmas off in a lot of years.
stratus41298
I hear ya. I switched to a career where I get those off now Hehehe.
Selfmedic8
Been doing this so long I don't know how to do anything else.
stratus41298
As long as you enjoy it is all good.
SSBMO
And pilots
JohnnySandwich
And gate agents, rampers, fuelers. Airports are a depressing place to be any day, but particularly Christmas.
SSBMO
True. Do you work at an airport? Thank you if you do I really appreciate your work. It keeps me and all my passengers in the air on time.
DrDynamo
What about us, poor kitchen worker
Fuckstickismycat
I'm dispatching Christmas Eve. It's not the day that matters to me, it's when you can get your family together!
AGermanShepherd
Another dispatcher here. True dat! Working the next three days. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!
Fuckstickismycat
I'm working a 12 tonight and then im off for 3! Hope everything is safe and not crazy for you this weekend, happy holidays!
AGermanShepherd
I envy you, haha. So far, so good. Just a lot of alarms. You stay safe too!
bearjew1990
Don't forget snow removal crews. Gotta stay out sometimes a straight 24 hours after big snowfalls.
errigal
Yes. Yes they are greatly appreciated.
GiraffesAndCrystalMeth
and to all my psych nurses! holidays are hard (patients worse than usual, mandatory overtime). you're heroes, each and every one of you.
IHateUsher
I didnt realise until I left uni that most people need to work between Xmas and new year :(. It makes me sad
CairoLen
You're solidly middle class or higher.
CWUST
Between! It's a luxury to even have the holiday itself off!
Liquidbullets
Your lucky if you get one of those days off in some lines of work
DropDeadArtemus
Shoutout to everyone in the food industry. This time 2 years ago, I was delivering pizza for Domino's and had no idea holidays off existed.
storytaletime
Yay for pizza delivery workers! As someone who just got off an insane week as a dog groomer and is spending the holidays alone, cooking is
storytaletime
the last thing I want to do. I will be taking advantage tonight but prepare yourself for a pretty holiday tip.
DropDeadArtemus
I'm sure your delivery person will be very grateful. I'm fortunate enough to have a job with holiday vacations now.
Jeepingstarwarsnerd
Don't forget the ones working at a movie theater.
Catsandbutts
Working Christmas day at the movies is probably the worst day of the entire year.
assholecasserole
"Working"
TactileEnvelope
I bet you leave your trash at your seat like an animal.
CairoLen
This is the douche that spills his drink and popcorn, and leaves the trash of the shit he smuggled in.
errigal
Fuck the truck drivers speeding by in the left lane, kicking up enough snow to make it so everyone else can't see anything.
errigal
Drove by 4 accidents and countless cars in the ditch. Every time one of these fucks passed us, we couldn't see more than a foot in front1
errigal
2of us. There were at least 6 fire trucks along the highway and saw so many ambulance as well. Christmas driving is hellish enough without
errigal
3the damned downfall of snow. Almost rear ended someone too. People get passed by the truck. Can't see. Slam breaks.
disgruntledtruckdriver
Fuck you too buddy. Dont like us, stop buying shit.
errigal
So you speed by in the left lane when there's snow blizzards and don't mind seeing people go into the ditch. Fuck em for buying stuff.
disgruntledtruckdriver
I'm a professional driver with 2 million safe km and no collisions. I've driven 3 provinces and 38 states hauling loads up to 140,000 lbs 1/
disgruntledtruckdriver
And up to values of $2,500,000. I know what my vehicle can do. I don't intend to spend my day doing 25mph behind some fool who should have

Stayed home. If you can't drive safely, don't get on the interstate. I slow down when the conditions require, such as fog, ice and heavy 3/

IT support. Laugh if you want. You'll be abusing them once you open hipstertronicphone 3000 and it doesn't "just work".
wantondisregard
You want to thank them ? Don't call them, wait till after the holidays with you first world problem.
DugaDoug
I work IT at a ski resort. Skiing+hotels+restaurants+holiday activities and only me and another guy to make sure all the PCs and POSs work.
laiskamato
Also some people call the help/service desk if they have nobody else to call. Sad af. Source: was IT, not on call during the holidays tho.
SharkLove
Worked for Dell tech support, Christmas 2001. Call volume was light, got slammed the day after.
LilyInteger
I'm at work right now. Thankfully, I'm in enterprise tech, with dedicated sys admins who are hopefully at home instead of emailing us.
judgemasterven
Yeeeeep
TheSaltiestPretzel
This. iPhone tech support here. People are especially dickish this time of year.
Denvercoder09
"it should just work so make it work!"
hadji
Abusing them while they're kept from family on Christmas, call after call.
WorldsSmallestMegaDick
Good thing they're indian
ManlikeCheetah
Can confirm. I'm on call in case someone can't remember their own fucking password.
fwomp
Represent! *sob*
Cheomesh
See, this is why I'm glad I work in real IT - my whole office is closed for the holidays.
governmentgavemeagun
"Real IT"? Wow, that's a pretty arrogant-sounding statement. You may wish to rephrase...
hadji
Oh, I imagine he phrased it just how he means it. One of those people just left my office. We rejoiced, but still have one left.
LemmiwinksKingofGerbils
You must be the dude that changes the ink cartridges and looks down on over-the-phone IT support
Cheomesh
I do change those but I do far more involved stuff than that.
TheFinalDoctor
I volunteered to work Christmas Eve. Boss told me I would get New Year's eve off...guess who found out today they will also be working NYE
WhitePhoenix
Sounds like a shitty job.
reidft
I worked 10 hours on Thanksgiving, guess who gets to work 15 hours on Christmas
berli93
Damn what do you do
reidft
I work night shift, Christmas is both my last day of the week and my last day period, in the last day of the week we can do a day shift to -
reidft
Get to our days off quicker
badthaught
Sounds like my job. See you on the other side holiday shafted brother/sister/apache helicopter
somekindofusernamething
monday and tuesday are my weekly days off, boss gave everyone trained in my job the week off so I get to work 7 days after xmas yay retail!
SpanWolf
Ouch, I know that feel. I once got told to cancel an approved and paid for vacation, or else I was fired. 1/2
SpanWolf
Threatened again for "unrelated" insubordination after going to his boss. Hated that place cause of him and his buttbuddy co-manager... 2/2
thelonepig
Also me? But as a cocktail waitress I'll make great money so I don't care.
madetheaccountjustforyou
Hmm. Dick Clark?
Chernobyx
Literally just had the same thing happen. And I have seniority. Not happy at all.
mountainofpuppies
Pretty sure you're allowed to put ur foot down there
MoxnesMonster6
I work both (unwillingly) but that sweet sweet 2.5 holiday pay is so worth it.
ImmortalLoveRodd
I want 2.5 Holiday pay. :(
DrBuckarooBanzai
What about the really stoned guy working the register at Circle K?
BurrRankShanks
He the real MVP
DocEternal
I'll be drunk, not stoned, but close enough.
lookingforapurpose
He's only there because you're there. Circle k isn't a emergency necessity so there for it shouldn't be open.
Koolala
Especially the really stoned guy working the register at Circle K!
MozzStk1993baybE
Will you be at work? Then thank him.
DarthChuckles
You mean me?
gullipud
Thank you in as gay or as straight of a way you want. I couldn't buy the red bull to finish my shift and the beer afterwards without you.
NelsaroniandCheese
There's literally dozens of us.
Zainathan
Guy like that on the night shift by my house. Coolest fuckin guy
gforce1616
Hero!
Zefisherman
Well I guess he can go fuck himself. Merry christmas
HeyLookAGinger
That was me.
BeepBeepItsAShitposter
The Circle K in my town is amazing. Last summer, They had an overflow of Mountain Dew and gave it to us. There were 23 in total.
DJSK1D
Or the stoned guy at the deli in walmart
iforgotwhatiwasdoinghere
I'm not even supposed to be here today.
AllGoodUserNameAreTaken
Svensk?
Silenceofthelambo
You mean me?
nakedintheforest
What about the bartenders that help numb that holiday pain?
HappyLittleBoozer
I'm a pub landlord, we're the only place in town open late every Xmas eve. 3.5hrs into a 13 hr shift, better start drinking \m/
lilgreenstuff
I work Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Yay bartending! We kill livers but we can save a night
nakedintheforest
I'm thankful for lockins after a holiday night. God bless illegal drinking!
TheManWithTheGoldenGut
I feel you. I haven't had a NYE off now for 16 years. Wouldn't know what to do with one if I did.
