There are lots of reasons why people love Valentine’s Day. We’re not enumerating those reasons here, however. This space is meant for why February 14 SUCKS. Single or not, read on and agree.
There’s nowhere to eat
And we’re not talking about just the hippest and most expensive restaurants that food bloggers are currently raving about. Hole-in-the-walls also get filled up, and even Jollibees and McDo’s run out of tables.
Traffic is extra horrendous
As in Christmas level. Thanks to all the couples wanting to go out on a date (as if they don’t go out on dates), whether it’s a trip to a new restaurant or one of those romantic concerts.
All these young couples are out
Sure, everyone has the right to fall in “love” and go out on dates, but there’s just something annoying about seeing all these high school students – in uniform – out on dates inside malls.
Moviehouses are packed
It doesn’t even matter whether the movie being shown is romantic or not. As long as it’s cold and dark, the couples are going to be there this Valentimes holding hands, kissing and godknowswhat. Watching a movie alone and being surrounded by these couples is always traumatic (although you can always entertain yourself by spotting these couples and staring at them).
All these sweets
Every February, all these red-colored and heart-shaped cakes, chocolates and other sweets abound. This isn’t entirely a bad thing because they are heavensent. But oh, the extra pounds they give us!
You can’t wear red
Nobody wears red on Valentine’s Day. Okay, there are those who do, actually – but you don’t want to be one of those guys.
