Default What unofficial observances do you recognize?
Did you know that March is National Cheerleader Safety Month, National Noodle Month and National Umbrella Month? Today is the Ides of March. Yesterday was Albert Einstein's birthday and National Pi Day (3/14). (I don't know if this works outside of the US because most likely everywhere else the short date for March the 3rd is 14.3.)
Besides being National Pi Day 3/14 was also:
  • Celebrate Scientists Day!
  • Commonwealth Day!
  • Fill Our Staplers Day!
  • Genius Day!
  • International Ask a Question Day!
  • Learn About Butterflies Day!
  • National Children's Craft Day!
  • National Potato Chip Day!
  • National Save a Spider Day!
  • National Workplace Napping Day!

List of unofficial observances by date

List of commemorative months

Are there any unofficial observances or "National ... Day" or "National ... Month" that you make a point to tell people about? Or do you think this stuff is way out of control?

Towel Day is big in my household. Talk Like a Pirate Day is a good laugh as well.

I was intrigued to learn of Data Privacy Day from your post - thanks for turning me on to it!

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

I went to a hemp fest once on 4/20, other than that I can't think of any.

International Beer Day and National Workplace Napping Day are both looking like annual events worthy of celebration to me though.

And if any female cheerleaders need a spotter for the remaining days this month during National Cheerleader Safety Month, I'll be more than happy to lend a helping hand (or two.)

November 19 is World Toilet Day. No I am not making this up.

I observe the day by going to the toilet.

I was at a Steak and Soda shop yesterday (June 20th) and the waitress told me it was National Vanilla Milkshake Day.

Yeah. Their sign says "Steaks + Soda Shop." In these parts Steaks is short for Cheesesteaks, which can be wit Provalone, American cheese or Cheese Whiz. Also plain Steak sandwiches with no cheese.

Today, June 21st is National Selfie Day

I heard on the news that Hawaiian authorities gave an official warning not to take a selfie with a molten lava. There are people who actually fail to see the danger in that?

Please don’t take selfies with the deadly molten lava, Hawaii authorities ask
