Valentine’s Day is romantic and all, but it mostly sucks. There’s too much pressure to have a date, then there’s more pressure to not fall for the commercial aspect of it. In a nutshell, it mostly sucks. But it’s also okay if you actually enjoy being a romantic. Basically, it depends a lot on your past experience. If you’ve had good memories, you’ll love it. Or else, it’s just–

So Redditors shared some of the worst memories that they have of Valentine’s.

7. “Valentine’s day is also my birthday. The year I turned 21, I spent the day with vertigo because of a double ear infection, caused by a sinus – and because I was on antibiotics, I couldn’t drink. And because it was Valentine’s day, everybody had dates.”
