Holland Tunnel's holiday decorations are 'OCD nightmare'
The Christmas decorations at the Holland Tunnel are driving motorists nuts.
Workers who decked that halls at the Jersey-side tolls turned the signage into a total eyesore when they slapped a triangular tree over the letter “N” instead of “A” — and made the crossing a “TONNEL” by putting a wreath over the “U.”
The festive failure is so bad that one angry commuter has gotten more than 600 signatures on a petition demanding the Port Authority fix the decorations — saying it’s a holiday nightmare for people with OCD.
“I look at it and it makes me itch. It gives me anxiety and anger — why wouldn’t they just put [the tree] in front of the A?” fumed Cory Windelspecht, 38, of Tribeca, whose change.org petition notes that between one and three percent of Americans have obsessive compulsive disorder.
“One guy told me he avoids it completely and takes the Lincoln Tunnel because of the decorations.”
