I dont do Fathers day, its a waste of money IMO. So is Mothers day, Grand-parents day and all the other crappy "family" and "friends" days.

 

Bah, Humbug.

AGREED

 

EVERY day should be day

 

Just another excuse to make money out of people IMO

 

 

That said, I feel I still need to at least say "happy 's day" :s bizzare

QUOTE in other words your a tight bastard  I think not...   don't do Valentine's Day either. Damn right. My g/f and I make a point of not buying valentine cards or any of that bollocks.   IMHO it is much more meaningful to spontaneously give someone you love a gift at some other time of the year. Being told "you must buy a card on this particular day" takes away the spirit of showing genuine gratitude or love to a person. If you really care about someone, do something kind for them, or buy them a gift, without being told that's what you're supposed to do!   Having double-standards, I do buy people birthday and Xmas gifts though -- but it takes the piss when there are all these other arbitrary days in addition.   BTW it has fuck-all to do with 'tightness' or 'selfishness' - after all £2.50 for a card doesn't exactly break the bank! It's the principle that card-making companies and so on are making a mint out of emotional blackmail. I think 'time' is a more sincere gift than money, so I'd sooner spend the same amount of money on some paper/cardboard/pens etc and make a custom card myself.   I'm not at all interested in receiving presents - I genuinely get more pleasure out of giving other people presents. Unless someone really can think of a useful gift for me that I had never thought of!

My mum cries every year when I dont get her a card (stupid cow). She seems to think that a crappy piece of card can change the world. I keep telling her I dont do "bollox" days. Birthdays...YES. Other money making scam days are a definate no no though.

 

My dad just dont give a shit.
