Of course, among all the things The Grinch hated, other than Christmas, in Dr. Suess‘ classic was all the “noise, noise, noise.” 

But a new survey shows we non-green folks have something in common with the character whose heart was once three sizes too small: certain things really get our inner Grinch going. So let’s take a look at them all. 

According to the survey of 2,005 Americans, shopping malls and shopping centers cause seasonal stress for 64% of respondents; 59% said airports at the holidays, while 58% say the post office stresses them out this time of year. 

Sixty percent say the crowds at these places get their Grinch on; 53% say it’s the lines and 52% say it’s the noise (noise, noise), according to the poll commissioned by International Delight.

Forty-three percent said they hate Facebook during the holidays, 40% say they dislike TikTok and 36% dislike Instagram during the silly season. Seems intrusive holiday shopping ads and insensitive comments get the goats of 48% of those polled. 

Overplayed songs were also a cause of stress this time of year, with 25% saying “Jingle Bells” was heard too much, tied with “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” 

Incidentally, Mariah Carey‘s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” was ranked fifth in the “overplayed” category at 22% — at least according to this poll.
