who here will wear red on feb 14

You're right. If it was TNZ, I would have used the f-word.

I'm not going to bother arguing with you. Obviously you've got some sort of chip on your shoulder that has something to do with me, your fellow members of staff or both. I've taken the option other staff members have encouraged me to take and reported your post to the Misc mods and will let them deal with it.

I suggest you go pick a fight with someone else.
 
This was a fun little thread until you had to come and whinge about whatever was in your local paper. Boo-hoo. You're single. You see Valentine's Day as a mean-spirited way for the world to remind you that you're single and miserable. Go spread your misery somewhere else.

I have no beef with my fellow staff, and I hope they are along promptly to punish me for my wickedness. Unless they're sleeping, in which case I hope they'll leave it until morning.
 
Ah, it's a commercial holiday. I say that if you're in a relationship, you can use it as just another excuse to enjoy each other, but if you're not, you get a free pass to buy yourself something nice.

Win-win. As long as you're happy either way.
 
It's a good day to work in a restaurant. One of our busiest days of the year. Lots of money to be made.

Here I am, a little sleepy but awake enough to know that "miserable twat" is not an appropriate endearment in Misc, and it hardly contributes to the level of discourse that you apparently wanted to see in this Thread.

Warning for Flaming. Comments to PM.

I'm subverting the whole thing by wearing my only item of red clothing (a t-shirt) right now. I feel 17% more romantic already.

Or if you're going to be a miserable twat, at least try and come up with a name that forms a cool acronym. I mean AMASPAVD? You can do better. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
The first part does at least spell "amas" (Latin for "you love"). :bolian:

Of course, wearing a Red Shirt™ at any time of year is just asking for trouble. :evil:
 
Meh.

Eight pages of "advice" in the Metro this morning, full of pictures of perfect couples having perfect Valentines Days. Here's some advice for you, Metro : fuck off.

I concur. They seem to be suggesting that if you're in a relationship you're somehow better than single people. :rolleyes:

You mean you didn't get the memo? :p Because we're single, we have nothing to buy, and nobody to buy it for, so therefore we are useless to the corporations which created the fictional excuse-to-sell-flowers-candy-and-cards otherwise known as Valentine's Day.

Couples gloating and rubbing it in the face of single people is only a side benefit to them.
 
Couples gloating and rubbing it in the face of single people

If the event of my wife and I going out to dinner downtown, holding hands as we walk down the sidewalk and then stopping at the theatre just so happens to fall upon February the Fourteenth, and if that action somehow qualifies in your mind as "gloating and rubbing it in the face of single people," then you have far larger problems than being single in the middle of February.
 
Couples aren't "gloating" or "rubbing it in [anyone's] face". They're just enjoying themselves. You're making yourself miserable for no reason.

Valentine's can be as much or as little as you make it. Revolutionary thought, I know. ;)

You have *no* idea.

Well, I admit I'm not quite sure as to what I *should* be making it, but I will take that into account. ;)

I have an idea, though. Working in a supermarket as I do, there is ample opportunity for taking a healthy amount of schadenfreude from being at work on the morning of the 14th and watching how increasingly desperate the guys in line tend to get when buying flowers and stuff. :evil: :lol:

Oh I agree and this single gal sees Valentine's Day as an opportunity. Sunday I'm going shopping for jewelry. That's right, jewelry! I figure whatever hasn't been sold to the lovebirds will be on sale. :D
 
Babaganoosh, You'll have to tell us about it afterward. I love having a good laugh at those poor desperate fools myself.:techman:
