I've always found it amusing that here in Aus we celebrate the Queens birthday not on the actual Queens birthday. But hey, it's an excuse for a public holiday (and for Melbourne and Collingwood to play at the MCG) so it doesn't worry me all that much.

At least use capital letters in your title...

I'd have to say no-smoking day...its not really going to stop anyone...

Valentine's Day


I would say St. Patrick's Day too, but any day you're actively encouraged to go out and get drunk can't be bad.

I'm fairly anti Valentines Day myself... but Easter is also there on my list... though I would hate to give up my Good Friday Stat...

Grandparents day - the day you thank the parents of your parents for birthing your parents so that they could then, in turn, birth you...pointless.

Valentines Day is also a massive contender. If you genuinely only used that 1 day to convey your love and affection to your partner you wouldn't have one for long.

I'm tempted to say Valentines day, if you're in a relationship it's fine, but if you're not then it really just becomes "bitter loneliness day".

I don't have a list of holidays next to me so I'll just generalize holidays that I would hate in general.

Hippy day (earth day)
Valentines day (my most hated)
Halloween (Why do we celebrate it, again?)
any holiday that deals with being vegetarian

Eed, it only lets a minority of people off school or work or whatever and those who take advantage of it still get to go home on Chrsitmas. It's INSANE!

Valentines day the day that usually just makes me feel like crap
and this, except I feel annoyed at the roses and bored because I'm always bored, I hate roses, unless they're blue, blue roses kick arse

MLK, really I understand he as important and all that but honestly why does he get his own day(national holiday) when others who did just as much(if not more) get nadda.
