Man, that goalie is pissed...

Boo! It’s Friday the 13th. Don’t be scared. It’s just another day. (Happy 29th, Nat!) In fact, because it is the first Friday the 13th of the year, it’s a special day…

Back in 1982, a woman in Michigan had a run of bad luck. Her alarm clock did not go off as it was supposed to (or so she claims) and as a result she was late to just about everything all day long. She kept telling people throughout the day that her alarm clock didn’t go off and it didn’t take long for her to realize that excuse wasn’t cutting it. Consequently, she started making things up and blaming anything and everything that should could for all of her shortcomings of the day.

It seemed to be working.

That day? Yeah, it was a Friday the 13th also. So it was back on that first Friday the 13th in 1982 that Anne Moeller came up with the idea for a new national holiday:

Blame Someone Else Day. (The first Friday the 13th of every year.)

So how ‘bout that? Anything goes wrong today…just shift the blame. You were late to work? Just say that you had to save that busload of orphans from going off a bridge. No one can blame you this day.

Just remember that while you’re shifting blame away from yourself, other people are free to shift from themselves on to you.

It’s really a vicious cycle.

And if you’re not happy about it…hey, don’t blame me.

Much luv,
Rob
