Today is not only payday for many of us it is also Opposite Day.
Opposite Day is the worst day for not saying anything to the people far away from you.
You can’t have fun today, as nothing is allowed and nobody wants to have fun with you.
Of course, as today is Opposite Day, all of the above means the opposite (It’s the best day to talking to the people close to you, having fun is the absolute most important thing you can do, and everyone is going to want in on it).
Opposite Day may be infuriating for some, but it can loads of fun if you do it right.
- A brief history of of Opposite Day:
Opposite Day is particularly popular among children, who enjoy the kind of absurdity that can happen when everything you say is backwards.
This kind of thing can open the mind to some incredibly diverse ways of thinking, and its stimulating trying to keep up with everyone saying the opposite of what they actually mean.
The more cynical of us may wonder how this is any different from the rest of the year.
Opposite day requires mental dexterity, a quick wit, and the ability to pick words we may not use every day out of the cobwebbed recesses of our brain.
Not only that, but some of the things we may be overheard saying to our friends and coworkers may be nothing short of outrageous.
Be careful though, you want to make sure the people you’re talking to know its opposite day, or you may wind up hurting someone’s feelings.
- How to Celebrate Opposite Day
It starts with revving your brain up to be ready for a day of opposite sayings.
When you like something say how much you hate it or tell someone how delicious something with a bitter face, and then spit it out.
There are millions of ways you can twist your tongue around words that are antonyms of what you mean.
You can tell people what a nice night it is when you actually mean what a nice day it is, and tell them that you’ll see them yesterday when you leave for the night.
Most importantly you must hate every moment of this terrible day.
What are your thoughts on this outlandish day?
