It is someone's right to be pissed off by clingy couples as much as it is those couples' right to be pissed off by people moaning about Valentine's Day.
Quite frankly I wish everyone would chill out and just let those who want to take each other out (or moan about it) do so.
Personally I think I should express my love for a girl once a day rather than once a year, but that's just me.
I'm with you on the last statement. I dislike the marketing ploy to make it expected* on that day and the mountains of tat they try to flog you for it.
* Consume consume consume and all that malarky. Its like Christmas. Christmas and the ideas/ideals behind it are great. The crap they'd like you to do/buy "beacuse its Christmas" isn't.
Then just don't fucking do it. It isn't hard. Don't buy a card, don't buy chocolates, don't buy flowers that aren't going to flower for another four fucking months.
Get some balls and change it rather than whining about it.
I don't, I don't, I do anyway and I have thanks. It still means the tacky crap is all over town. I'm not even bitter at the couples, just the marketing and herd mentality that lets it work. Every year I still place value on the fact that during my lifetime, Grandparents day never really took off despite the advertisers emotional blackmail.
As long as you feel these emotions anyway you can recognise the tat for what it is. Don't feel bad about the advertising, if anything feel bad about the people who need it to remind them of something.
