I hate Valentine's Day - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Liza · 02-15-2004, 03:05 AM

I admit it, I hate this holiday. I always have. I've never liked it. It sucks when you're single. You're either alone, or with a date that's never worth it.

You want to know what I did for Valentine's Day 2004? I slept in, cleaned my room, then got a call from my sister who won't be able to join me in my pity party because she's decided to drive to Iowa or somewhere for some bisexual convention thing. Whatever. My valentine arrives from my grandparents. Three boxes full of chocolate that can make me fat and even more miserable. I eat some of it and feel sick. Then I go online and get into a fight with some jerk on imdb who's determined to fight - probably because he didn't have a date either. Could the day get any worse? Oh, yeah, and my brother who's supposed to look after his sisters on V-Day forgot to call. Of course.

The best thing I can say about Valentine's Day is that it only comes around once a year.

I'm sorry it's a difficult day for you Liza. As a married woman, I sort of lose sight that it's not a day of romance for everyone.

I'm feel the same way about Mother's Day since my mother passed away two years ago. I flip past the commercials. I want to just crawl under a rock to avoid all the hoopla surrounding that day.

Like Valentine's Day, you can't even really eat out on Mother's Day unless you're up for a mob scene. Your friends with boyfriends/mothers spend the day with them, so it's a day at home feeling shi**ty.

Take heart Liza. Your prince will come.

You're a real nice person, and you won't be single forever if you don't want that.

I'm sorry about your mother

It does stink when everyone's got someone to share the holiday with, and you're all alone. I can definately relate

But thanks Janice. Your post has been the first thing to make me smile all day

Kay Scarpetta · 02-15-2004, 10:15 AM

I don't even get what the big deal about V-Day is. I mean, you're supposed to love your partner every day of the year, not just on this manufactured holiday.

And yeah, I hate it too. I hate it with a passion. All I did yesterday was sleep and watch movies. What fun.

Rhiannon · 02-15-2004, 11:25 AM

I'm joining the club. I sat at home all night with nothing to do and no one to talk to. Screw Saint Valentine

Titania · 02-15-2004, 12:38 PM

Sorry you had a bad day, Liza. "Singles Awareness Day" wasn't the greatest for me either.
That morning I spent shopping with the girls and complaining about men. Then I spent almost the whole day in this V-day show at a community theater.
Yeah, great holiday.

I think the worst part is hearing about everyone else's dates. V-day anymore is just something manufactured by the greeting card companies, imo.

its no party for those afflicted with the non-single disease either; there is a lot of expectations to live up to, and it doesnt help that every store in town jacks the prices on everything Valentine/gift-related through the roof right before the date

i'm just glad its over, and i can look forward to avoiding the next Hallmark-branded holiday

Kazza · 02-15-2004, 01:22 PM

I rather spend the day alone than with a jerk around whining, complaining or been an a**. I'm single(well, divorced) and my two daughters are my little Valentine's. We had a great day playing in the snow and they made me a home made V-day card. What else could I've asked for??? I rather spend the day with them and then I treat me to a well deserved bubble bath or watch a movie with the whole bowl of popcorn to myself. LOL. Not sharing 'da love' is great sometimes.

Lodee · 02-15-2004, 02:00 PM

Hey Desilover, what happened to that neighbor guy??

Here I thought you were having a wild time and instead you were out playing in the snow!

(that snow down there was a big deal, it was even on the news up here!)

awwwww-You don't have a VALENTINE-LOL

Ewan's My Man · 02-15-2004, 02:12 PM

I've never minded it that much...and may I point out I've never had a boyfriend, and that I spent the whole day yesterday babysitting two little boys.

*shrugs* maybe it's b/c I get stuff from my parents, i dunno, but I've never HATED Valentine's Day.

This is your lucky day, Soloman. You can ask her out on a date!

I'm cool.

phoebe7165 · 02-15-2004, 02:29 PM

I've been boy-friend-less for 4 months now, and even if we were still together, I wouldn't care if he didn't get me anything.

I was driving down the street yesterday and we started getting backed up a little. Reason was that cars were parked at the side of the road because there was a truck selling roses out of the back and the men were lined up behind. Here it was 4:00 in the afternoon, and these men are just now getting roses!! Oh, well, I guess as long as you get them before midnight.

Bang A Gong · 02-15-2004, 02:38 PM

I hate Valentine's Day. Always have, always will. It's just another long, stupid, boring day like every other single day in the year. People spend a lot of money on gifts that will probably just get thrown in the closet or in a drawer. They buy chocolates that either get eaten quickly or put into some small corner where they spend the next several years rotting away until they finally get sick of looking at them and toss them in the trash. And then of course there is the dinner. Now what's the point of that? Spending money on a fancy dinner that will just be eaten within an hour or wasted when the person gets full. Why not just sit at home eating macaroni and cheese and watching TV?

Couples who get all excited for Valentine's Day and waste their money on all of that crap piss me off. I hate them. Jackasses.

I spent Valentine's Day sitting in front of the television and the computer, bored out of my skull, and I spent Valentine's Night sitting alone in the dark in my bedroom staring at the ceiling and the wall.

Screw Valentine's Day.
