Just in: HSBC has declared war on Christmas spirit—starting with your jumper. That’s right, the bank that brought you overdraft fees and offshore scandals now believes that a Rudolph knitwear moment might be the final straw for struggling customers. Because nothing says “professional and sensitive” like policing wool.

🧣 HSBC’s Guide to Trigger-Free Tinsel

Forget sleigh bells and Santa hats—HSBC staff are being told to keep it bleak this December, lest a snowman sweater causes emotional distress to anyone grappling with money worries.

You couldn’t make it up: Christmas jumpers—those bastions of awkward office cheer—have been deemed “inappropriate.”

Apparently, someone in middle management thinks Dave from mortgages wearing a light-up elf top might send someone spiraling into fiscal despair.

What’s next? Banning candy canes?

Outlawing Mariah Carey at the cash machine?

Let’s get real:

If your customer service already makes people cry, it’s not because Carol’s jumper has bells on it.

It’s because calling you takes 40 minutes, your interest rates are climbing Everest, and your “sensitive space” comes with a £25 “reconnection fee.”

It’s almost poetic:

HSBC would rather erase Christmas joy than fix actual problems like poverty, predatory lending, or the fact that their CEO probably hasn’t stood in a bank queue since Tony Blair was in office.

Meanwhile, the rest of us just want to see Margaret from HR in a snowflake onesie while we remortgage the flat to buy turkey.

But no—the Grinch has a branch on every high street now.
