Does anyone else really hate...

[30birthdayholiday]

... all these renamed months??
Veganuary, Movember, Dry January, ( not renamed, but you know what I mean)
I'm sure there's more but I don't want to annoy myself by thinking of them.

I get that some are for charity, and I'm all for that, but must you really change the months name? Can't you just say "I'm growing a mustache for a month for charity" if anyone asks? Or " I'm trialling being a vegan for a month"

I don't know why it annoys me so much but it does! Anyone else??

Oh I like this game! Are there any more?

Stoptober
Erm...

Januhairy is a new one I've seen where this month women are being encouraged not to wax/shave/remove hair from areas they normally would... Why can't we just do that when the feck we like?!

Oh stop it now, you're annoying me, I'll get this thread pulled so I don't have to read anymore.....!

@Hogtini that was the one that was the final straw for me and prompted me to start this post, I just thought FFS enough is enough now, stop already.

I’m with you. It’s bloody ridiculous and irritating. Am officially making January into ‘Fuckuary’ to raise awareness of stupid annual awareness months.

I know this is not AIBU but you are not x

Agreed!!

There's Red January as well. Run every day. With these knees, I don't think so.

Whoregust - raising money for sex workers
Aperil - monkey awareness month
Fanuary - post photos of your fanny on social media
Merch - buy shit all month

It'll never end.

yes yes yes

cant bloody stand it-fine if u want to abstain no probems just do it though

Sorry but 😂 at Merch!
How about Fabuary - a whole month of channelling your inner John Barrowman and being utterly fabulous

Actually the more I think about it the more it annoys me. I’m certainly not doing dry January, I got 3 bottles of lovely gin for Christmas, like shite am I making January worse than it already is by not drinking it!

Oh thank goodness, I thought I might get a load of people saying " it's for charity, how dare you mock it!" But I think I've found my people!

Imagine the joy of just doing a January, plain old January. Either with/without wine, running, hairy bits, meat, moustaches. Please yourself, and have a nice January.

That’s the thing though, half the people doing it aren’t even doing it for charity. Certainly a good number of them on FB are purely attention seeking. Like that pointless thing where you got a bucket of water tipped on you. Just why?

Merch - buy shit all month
genuinely cracked up at that.

I cannot stand it either, OP!!

that was meant to be for mnd ipswich how i dont know

That’s the problem Gabs. I saw loads of people doing it on FB and not a single one raised any money for mnd.

There was a bit on bbc news website earlier featuring some early 20’s ladies who were embracing the whole Januhairy thing. One said she was quite excited to see what would happen! Alternatively, she could just wait til she’s 40 something with 2 kids, no sleep and a full time job and then see how arsed she is about having hair free legs and pits in January (when no bigger is gonna see them anyway!)

No bugger, obvs

Junotahopeicanefitinthatbikine! I'll get my coat!

I've been doing an unofficial October-to-Mayhairy all my adult life!

So you're doing Ginuary then, ipswichwitch.

Boom boom.

i know ipswich thats the sad thing just doin it for attention

Definitely in for Ginuary!
I’m with you, Op, in regard to all the other bollocks though.

If you do partake in Ginuary, does the next month become Fr-brewery?
Trial a different alcoholic drink each month.

Can't think of anymore, tired.

And at the end someone can write a human interest article "I drank a different alcoholic drink each month - here's what happened".
