For me, Christmas is the worst holiday to be single. I live thousands of miles from my nearest family. And friends are all with their S.O.’s families for Christmas. So I usually spend the day on a hike with my dog since most places are closed. I’ll take a single Valentine’s Day over a single Christmas anytime. The Valentine's Day I'll never forget, though, was when we lived in our last house. We had a neighbor from hell who was constantly harassing us. Then on February 13, at 11:45pm, when we were fast asleep, she called the cops on us for domestic violence (Happy Valentine's Day!). The friendlier part of Reddit. Have a fun conversation about anything that is on your mind. Valentine’s Day is the worst . Just Chatting for 20 years and we The general resentment about Valentine’s Day on Reddit perhaps shouldn’t come as a surprise. According to Pew Research Center , the two most common age demographics of Reddit users are 18-24 Valentine's Day is the one day of the year that you're expected to be better looking, a better lover, a more fascinating conversationalist, the buyer of the perfect gift, and the planner of the Year after year, when asked about their worst-ever Valentine’s Day gifts, Redditors consistently name STIs. “Herpes, in a five-year marriage, where neither party had it before,” u/ JAJAY797 Get the Reddit app Scan this QR code to download the app now. Or check it out in the app stores TOPICS Valentines day is the worst holiday . 1) People shouldn't need a holiday to show love. If you’re only doing something to make your significant other happy once every February, you’re doing something wrong. Healthy relationships take a lot more work than some flowers and a box of candy once a year. 2) It's super anti-single for no reason. Being single has First dates on Valentine's Day usually don't go well. Considering the weird competitiveness that Valentine's Day has established in the past twenty years, give or take a few, the pressure to get into your relationship quickly is so drastic that even if you're in a relationship, you'd more than likely try your first date on any of the remaining 364 days of the year. Valentine's Day can be an incredibly expensive holiday to celebrate. Buying expensive jewelry, flowers, and dining at a nice restaurant might not even help your relationship and could even harm it. All of them. They’ve all been commercialized to the point of stupidity. No your mom does NOT need diamonds for Mother’s Day. Dad doesn’t need a riding mower for Father’s Day. Valentine’s Day? My god. Easter? Christmas? 4th of July even! People celebrate the day off work more than they do the actual holidays themselves. 21 votes, 120 comments.

Posted by u/Medium_Cat_2739 - 10 votes and 9 comments Valentine’s Day only exists in its modern form to sell cards and chocolates at an otherwise slow time of the year. We really don’t have any other major holidays between Christmas/New Year’s and Easter (yes St Patrick’s Day but you don’t really buy gifts/candy as much for that) For me it’s gotta be Valentine’s Day. Can’t stand the idea that you HAVE to do something expensive and romantic for your partner on that day, I just treat it like any other day and take my friends cheap candy shopping the week after lol. Also I have no idea how Saint Valentine’s beheading date became modern day Valentine’s Day! It’s also not the worst holiday - at worst it’s pointless, and perhaps a bit obnoxious. Valentine’s Day is a lot of things: kitschy, gauche, grossly sincere, but it is not offensive. It does not glorify people who have committed atrocities, like Christopher Columbus Day does. Valentine’s Day is two holidays in one. 167 votes, 55 comments. true. In Finland it's called "ystävänpäivä" which translates to "friends' day" and we celebrate friendship instead of romantic relationships! You are expected to buy diamonds, candy and flowers! I'm a woman and I hate valentine's day. Always have, I tell my kids how dumb of a holiday it is and if they want to celebrate it they can but why I won't. I tell them and my husband every day that I love them. We don't need to spend money on that stuff to show appreciation or love. It's well-known that Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, and others, while they may have had ancient namesake precedents, in some cases, (people celebrated the feast of St. Valentine centuries ago), they exist in their current form due to pressures from commercial interests, not the least of which has been from the Hallmark corporation. Valentine’s Day is the worst holiday ever and should just get removed as a holiday in general!
