Top Ten Reasons Why Valentine’s Day Sucks

Feb 14, 2008 | Tags: holidays, Ramble

Below is a list of top ten reasons why Valentine’s Day sucks. The list was compiled by my awesome friends who are single and a person who is taken (me, yours truly *bows*). Can you guess which ones are from a TAKEN chick and SINGLE dudes?

Valentine’s is a cruel reminder that you have nobody. (Duh, this is easy, huh?!)
Valentine’s Day is overrated – many gifts are given from the store shelves rather than straight from the free heart.
All those Valentine Day candies are tempting!
Valentine ’s Day is a day of expectations, I prefer surprises on spontaneous moments.
The history on this ever so wonderful day is hazy. Just WHAT are we celebrating besides our loved ones? Celebrating about something confusing is silly.
The market is still shitty. I want my money back. Where is the love on the New York Stock Exchange?
We have to work today.
Single people are often ignored, unless you’re in elementary school passing around v-day cards.
There are 365 days in a year, why is the concept of Valentine’s Day on only one day? Come on!
Billions of paper is wasted!

Here’s an 11th one, just for kickers:

How did you do?

Tonight I’m going to Ruth Chris’ Steakhouse on a date. Bet you’re thinking, WTF? Hey, who says I have to stay at home boycotting the day? Who knows, maybe our purchase will be prepared, cooked, by a hot chef in the kitchen with *gasp* love. But here’s the real secret, I’m going because I, myself, love ~~steak~~ the person I’m going with, who likes (cough) Valentine’s Day.
