I saw this so-called “Holiday” and did a little google search to see if it’s really a thing and found that several sites are referencing today as National slap your annoying coworker day.  Now I have to wonder if this holiday falls on a Sunday on purpose…

I would guess that why it will be a holiday, otherwise majority companies would have to replace half of their staff that got slapped to death. I got a few colleagues that would definitely qualify for those laps.

Oh yes. Wise move to have it on a Sunday. Too much HR paperwork otherwise!!

I always thought the national days would be for promoting positivity and joy, not aggression. I was surprised this is actually a thing.

Well, all depend on how you view it right? Can bring a log of joy and positivity to the person handing the slaps out, as it relieves them of aggression frustration and stress?

We’ve carried over the holiday to Monday this year so the team don’t miss out 😂

I can hear the HR departments all over the country spinning up for all the complaints. This is funny for sure, but I have to wonder how many people thought it was real.

Hilarioius James. I should have carried it to Tuesday since that’s my day in the office!

If you are not sure of any of my answer, it s a good bet sarcasm was included!  Sorry about that. I'll try to be more clear next time. 😎

👍🏻 It’s ok. My wife and daughter automatically assume I’m being sarcastic as pretty much everything I say sounds it!

Am in a similar boat. My sense of humor is completely different to that of my wife and daughter. As such, many times, have to really think thrice before I say something. That way I keep in the “good” books, not in the ice box.

I apparently have a naturally sarcastic voice. Everything I say seems to sound like I'm taking the *%!$!

LOL. many people out there may feel the same about me. And for the right reasons good sarcasm is never wrong. as that relates as positive criticism.
