Pet Peeve

It seems everyday is "National (fill in the blank) Day. National Kissing Day, Sibling Day, Gardening Day, smack yourself in the fucking head day, etc.

What the hell is going on where we can't have one day not be "something"?

Oh heck, we have so much nonsense to celebrate the events often have to share the same days! It is ridiculous I agree so I ignore it all.

Going to use it on your teenage daughter ???

@VAL3941 Haha. Maybe!

Please don't do that. Teenagers are cute, until they reach the age of 13.

That is because that is literally true. You could fill an entire calendar with national ____ days. When I did a calendar for my website, I decided to get in on the fun. I created Tax Day (traditional) for April 15. Bad Check Day is April 16. Tax Day (observed) is on the 17th.

There are so many ____ days that they often overlap. So putting together a calendar was a lot of fun. I had my choice of absurd days.

It's not even consistent, if you run a searchon a specific day multiple siteswill say it's something different day and not match up! Sigh!

Marketing. What sort of useless trinket can we get people to buy if we invent "special" days.

Why does it bother you? You are under no obligations in any way.

It doesn't "bother" me. I just think it's kind of overkill.

You are correct, most days are actually "__day" because politicians have them declared so by special interests, or to curry favor with a band of followers. Get one of those calendars that list them call out from work more often!
