As someone with an anxiety disorder or two, I poke fun at myself all the time and can see the funny when others poke fun too. People should lighten up.

These carols were amusing and reminded me of these jokes:

If you have a nervous disorder, fidget with the hash key until a representative comes on the line.

If you are co-dependent, ask someone to press a number for you.

If you are depressed, don't bother to press any numbers. No one will be able to help you anyway.

If you are paranoid, you don't need to press anything. We know who you are, we know what you want, and we know how to reach you.

If you suffer from low self-esteem, please hang up because all our operators are too busy to talk to you.
