3-month anniversaries....lol - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

junecleaver · 01-25-2008, 03:57 PM

Lol i was watching Little People, Big World the other night and the 17? year old boy (Jeremy) was hanging out with his friends and his girlfriend called him like 3 times saying "It's our 9 month anniversary tonight" in other words, telling him to stop hanging out with his friends to go see her. But last time i checked, an anniversary is a ONCE A YEAR thing..LOL. I think the term is more popular amongst preteens and young teens...one of my cousins (who was about 15 at the time) said "oh it's my anniversary today, i can't go see a movie with you guys" And i said, "Oh? I didn't know you'd been dating someone" and she said "Yeah it's our 3 month anniversary."

Anyone else find this dumb?

lol, I know some people who've celebrated their 1/2/3/4/5 week anniversary etc. That's cute and all but when you make it for a year... then you really have something to celebrate!

Both of my sisters do that with their boyfriends. They're 13 and 15. Honestly, I've never dated a guy long enough to have a one month anniversary

Lol, a week anniversary i've heard of too. It's already expensive enough, when you have birthdays, christmas/other holidays, and valentines day, and mothers/fathers day...plus anniversary...so why would you want to make more anniversaries than you need?

Another pet peeve of mine when it comes to day/month/year conversions is when i ask how old a baby is. Some people are stupid enough to say "Oh she's 26 months". Ok, it's okay to say your baby is 6 months old, etc. but after the child turns a year old, say your child is a year old. It's complicating to some people who have to figure out how old 46 months is. Plus, it sounds like you're trying to hang on to a newborn. Let your kid grow up, for crying out loud.

THANK YOU! That's one of my biggest pet peeves! I once heard a lady say her son was "36 1/2 months old"

I wonder if they know how crazy that sounds.

junecleaver · 01-26-2008, 01:51 AM

Yeah, for real

In that case, i'm 12 x 20 months old!

ha yeah...i believe the prefix "ann" refers to year, not just any length of time. i use it as well though even when i mean less than a year, because i can't think of an easier term to use. as far as relationships and such go, i only get excited over it at six-month intervals.

Wow, you just TOTALLY missed the point of this thread.

But I totally agree. I don't believe in celebrating monthly anniversaries, just the big ones.

At this point, a week would be something to celebrate. Never quite made it to a day...

I feel you there, like I said before, 2 weeks is my longest. However, we only saw each other twice in those 2 weeks, then he broke up with me in a note, and he was 24 years old at the time!

I note is the cowards way. Easy, yes. But very cowardly.

I say that here. But I really couldn't say whether I'd have the guts to brake up with someone to there face...

junecleaver · 01-29-2008, 03:47 PM

Wow, you'd be amazed at how many stupid people there are regardless of age. I've learned never to judge anyone from their age, because i met so many stupid 30 year olds and so many mature 15 year olds. Yeah though, glad he broke up with you with a note in a way, now you know he wasn't worth your time. And you can tell everyone he knows how lame he really was
