Valentines Day - The Haters

This is the thread for all the people who don't like valentines day or who don't like the commercialised event that it has become.

Me me me

We tend to do something nice for each other, maybe have a nice bath, candles, nice meal. Something a little different from the norm without spending loads of money on a commercialised event.

The fact that you do something nice on THAT day (candles, nice meal, bath etc) meand you DO like Valentines Day.

What you dont like is the over commercialisation of it

Well we've had a few new members since last year so I thought it could be good to do it again

The commercialisation bothers me, the day itself doesn't.

Parents are having a nice meal out and going to the Barbican (that's in Londinium for the non-cultured among you

) for a concert. Three days later it's their Silver Wedding Anniversary (note to self - must return RSVP for that).

**** off

Actually, I still think the day is a load of crap but I do something nice for Sinead. If it were me, I'd quite happily let it pass by unoticed.

I'm more of a hater of the actual day, rather than doing something nice. I tend to just cook something for dinner, turn the phones off, and just have a bit of dedicated time with one another. However I prefer going on holiday or spending weekends with someone rather than bothering going all out just for one day. It's like new year's it's always an anticlimax or feels like over zealous effort for little achievement.

I'm looking forward to it this year because it marks the end of my official training

I hate the commercialisation and all the crap padded toys and trinkets that society feel they need to go out and buy. That stinks. But the rest of the day is fine. And it usually guarantees rudeness at least.

Edit: in-bed rudeness that is
