Anyone else really hate Valentines Day? (1 Viewer)

[Jeff Gatie]

A splitting headache and months on the couch.

 

[Jeff Gatie]

We actually got "over it" and stayed together a while longer, but alas - A woman never forgets.

 

[Chu Gai]

I don't know if it was mentioned, but did you know that the most canned whipped cream is sold around Valentine's Day?

 

[MarkHastings]

Definitely hot, but also married.

 

[Holadem]

Where is shmunchkin cakes?

Didn't we just have a conversation about this? I believe it was you who said, "just because there's a sold sign on the lawn, dos'nt mean you can't still make an offer."

It has worked out for me.

 

[MarkHastings]

LOL - even though I said that, I'm also smart enough to know that Hotness doesn't always = Great relationship.

 

[Jimi C]

Ha, I guess it depends on what sort of relationship you're looking for.

Her husband is HUGE! so if anything were to happen, it couldn't be just a 'fling'

I go to the mall, go up to one of those directory thingies with my eyes closed and randomly point. Whatever my index finger lands on that's where I shop. This year it landed on flippin' Zales. A couple a hundred dollars on a cute pearl ring. She loved it. Thought I spent all day wandering around trying to find just the right gift. Hmmm it's the randomness that counts.

Wow! How time just flew by....

An update to post #40. I've been back with my gf for the past year or so. It's going in the right direction (I think). I still hate V-day because of the expectations on guys to do the "right thing". Let me count the ways....

Roses delivered to her workplace....$$$
Giant Hello Kitty stuff animal..........$$$
Swarovski crystal pendant.............$$$
Dinner @ atmospheric Japanese restaurant near Golden Gate Bridge....$$$

To think I could've purchase a new AV receiver with the money spend for V-day. On the other hand, if tonight ends with a, ahem, "happy ending"....then I can overlook it.

Why do I get the feeling that lifestyles in other parts of the country could annoy Mark as well?

 

[MarkHastings]

I only hate people when I post on the internet. In real life, I'm pretty easy going.

 

[Malcolm R]

He's ranting about a V-day commercial over in the "Commercials that really irritate you" thread.

 

[Brad Porter]

I feel obliged to post something in this thread since I've participated before, but I don't really have anything more to add that I haven't already posted. Not much has changed for me other than the new gadgets that I own and one more year on the odometer. I'm resigned enough to my situation that I've actually grown some hideous Cliff Claven-esque facial hair over the past few months. I defy anyone to be attracted to me!

Since the thread has bounced back to complaints about V-Day, I'll quote myself from two years ago so that its clear that this day doesn't really bug me.

...until they piss you off.

 

[MikeH1]

The worst part is that this thread that keeps reappearing every year here at HTF is the only thing that reminds me about what Valentines Day is REALLY about.

 

[Jay H]

Yeah, the final tally of this so-called nor'easter is about 3 inchs of heavy slush.... THIS SUCKS!!!!! GIVE ME SNOW!!!!


Oh, and Valentine's Day still blows.

Jay

 

[Malcolm R]

I'd trade your 3 inches of slush for my 30+ inches of snow in a heartbeat.

"Yeah, the final tally of this so-called nor'easter is about 3 inchs of heavy slush.... THIS SUCKS!!!!! GIVE ME SNOW!!!!"

I live in lower NY, near PA, and we got a decent amount. It was mostly snow/sleet/ice mixture that made the roads pretty bad. Then around midday snow was coming down so heavy that in about 3 or 4 hours it doubled what came down the previous night.
