Today is That Sucks Day. This April 15 holiday is a celebration of all that sucks in our lives, and in the world. And, let’s face it, a lot of things stink. Events, the weather, unpleasant things you need to do, and many things spoken aloud really suck. However, on the positive side, you can enjoy a lollipop today. Now, that really sucks.
We’ve all had bad days, unpleasant events, bad situations, and relationships that suck. It’s a reality of life. This special day gives well-deserved recognition of the fact that a lot of experiences in our lives suck. And, it can happen frequently.
Bruce Novotny, the creator of this day, established this day to be celebrated on April 15th, as there are several major events in history that suck… on this date. They include tax day, the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, and the sinking of the Titanic.
We hope that this day does not suck for you. You can always use today to recognize other things that suck.
