Why Would I Have To Smile?

Okay - just because it is Valentine's Day doesn't mean that I have to grin like a retarded monkey with a huge slurpee and a stack of monkey porn.

If I DON'T smile, everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) asks me if something is "wrong" or if "someone is going to be in the doghouse" or crap like that.

I have NEVER made a big deal out of this fabricated "holiday" it's a lame one!

If they care - they shouldn't wait for the middle of Feb to send you some overpriced flowers in a misguided attempt at impressing your horny and pathetic co-workers.

Isn't it an everyday sort of thing?

do NOT even get me started on Jewelery. (oh Jewelery...how I hate thee.)

what the hell is the DEAL with this?? my face is cramping from the fake smile plastered on my face and I am getting a fucking headache from answering why there are no flowers on my desk. (Roses give me hives, and tulips give me gas ;) )

holy shit - I wish to fucking Jack LORDS that Chicks, the media, and stupid Mervyn-ized dudes would NOT make such a fucking ordeal for me. (self centered?? well, DUH. :rolleyes: )
IF YOU WANT A PLATE OF MY BEEF SWELLINGTON, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PAY THE COVERCHARGE.

    I get that. I sent flowers today, but I also have sent them before. She doesnt expect them, so I do it to show I care. It's a fabricated Holiday, but there is nothing wrong with a day that makes you stand up and take notice. The 1st Valentine's together is the most important anyways.

    Different strokes for different folks. Anyone who isnt so completely buying into it that they expect extravagance has it right.

    Screw your co-workers, just be yourself.

    hahahaaa!

    okay - I HAVE! (now if he sends me packs of tuna - then my undies will be off faster than you can say "Jesse Owens" regardless of the "holiday") or dead roses...that would be funny. I am just tired of everyone walking into the office, and going "uh oh!! someone messed up!! they forgot the most important day for a couple" I am like HUH??? this IS NOT the most IMPORTANT day...just because Kay jeweler's tells you it is!! (Kisses start with KAY??? really?? really?? are you necessary???)

    oh. wait for it.




    the pissed off parade has begun. :mad:

    Maybe it's not just because you don't smile. For EVERYONE to say something, maybe your whole body language and demeanour gives them that impression.

    me too, I didn't even realize what day it was when I was getting dressed. I just picked out the first shirt that I saw in my closet

    although, surprisingly, nobody in my office has mentioned that today is Valentine's day...I guess nobody here cares that much about it either

    You coulda really really enjoyed it and milked it. Sometimes I look miserable... actually quite often... I have one of those miserable faces I think and often get told by complete strangers to smile :rolleyes: and I don't understand it cos there's usually great stuff going on in my head.

    Well I wouldn't have got many people asking yesterday only one of the lads at work hid the roses he bought for his gf in my office... so everytime everyone came in they were like 'oh you got flowers :) ' and I'm like 'actually no!' and had to explain... to everyone :D
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    I got roses at work from an out of towner friend. I feel so grown up. You could smile for the love you see others express and share.

    I agree with the OP. It's bull but I thought most people felt that way. :confused: I wouldn't feel bad. I just personally don't know anyone that cares about valentines. :confused: As for sex and gifts, it's far better when it's unexpected.

    I also think that single people should have a big 'FUCK YOU' day to the card companies! :D
