101 things we hate about Sundays

[Redway]

1. Virtually nothing in the way of entertainment/good TV.

Kate, I feel like you e got a few words to say on this matter. Why don’t you chime in?

[Crimson Dynamo]

and Saturday night tv is good?

:joker:

ok

[Redway]

and Saturday night tv is good?

:joker:

ok

I … didn’t necessarily say it is, and it definitely isn’t for a good half of the year (including at the moment). But Sunday’s twenty times worse. Absolutely nothing to fill the entertainment-void there.

[Benjamin]

Not here for this vicious attack on a Sunday

Sunday night often pretty good for sports fans. There's NFL in the autumn/winter, European football, often darts finals, final day of golf tourneys etc.

Otherwise there's a lot of dramas on and things like Millionaire. I think Sunday evenings are some of the best telly

[Redway]

2. Most people don’t know what to do with themselves come Sunday. Stare at the four walls. Go to church (if that’s your thang). Go shopping within a four-hour window. Erm.

Ya, Sundays fundamentally don’t feel right. Horrid day.

So if I was to put that box on right now, I’d find something worth watching?

3. The Monday blues feeling of going back to work the next day.

[Crimson Dynamo]

That is true is you dont work on a Sunday

people should get one day off a week and be made to work on Sunday

its just lazy

get Britain working and better

get back to work

[Dogeatdog]

4. Engineering works on the trains in my area always take place on a Sunday. Really annoying if we want to go out for the day.

There's just been a brilliant darts final on ITV4! And Match of the Day 2 is on now

If not your thing you could have watched the new drama about Jane Austen on BBC for some calm Sunday viewing

I remember when Harry Secombe did Songs of Praise

what a charming way to spend your Sunday before Antiques roadshow

Now they have that bloody awful woman priest from Goggle Box who the BBC seem to have chosen as the head of their God Squad. I saw that last Sunday the theme was Christianity and cancer and I thought, I loathe the BBC...

People dragging their kids around the shops because that's apparently a suitable activity for a Sunday.

Yes. And to McDonald's as well.

7. Sunday night. ’nough said.

Which is a shame because the movies on channel 5 used to bang!!! Even if they played dirty dancing every 2 weeks but I didn't mind

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

8. As mentioned what can top Monday blues on the horizon. Having to do all chores so you don't have to do it throughout the week

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

I work Sundays :bawling:

I cannot think of anything worst :bawling: (wars,pedophilia and dying aside)

[Redway]

Some people don’t mind working on Sundays precisely because of the fact that it’s Sunday and they ain’t got nothing better to do. I’d rather work 8-8 from Sunday pm to Monday am than Monday 8 am to 8 pm. Get a good 12-hour grind in and evade the Monday blues by chilling in bed with food, CBD tea, an essential-oil diffuser … diffusing the room and EastEnders. And still be sleeping come 5.30 pm, sef.

I do as many of my chores on Saturday as possible (sometimes the odd ambient Friday evening in-and-around quiet enjoyment). Most of us out here in da endz of ‘Friday night is the best time of week’ really don’t know what to do with ourselves come Sunday. We just ain’t down with Sunday like that from the get-go, so the whole day just feels like a waste, no-matter what you gonna do or not. We ain’t popping with it. We don’t vibe it.

[GoldHeart]

In 2025 are people still complaining about not having enough on TV ,when we have access to a trillion different platforms & stream services.

Not everyone’s super into Netflix.

There's more than netflix to keep your attention :shrug:.

9. Slow customer service and overly chatty people holding up the queue is always worse on Sundays.

[Redway]

10. The fact that it looks like Classic Corrie are only uploading Sunday-night editions of Corrie (just one half-hour episode) on Monday, as-if it wouldn’t make more sense to upload it on Sunday and a corresponding, 30 min. x 2, Monday-bill for Monday. I just can’t with the way entertainment/something decent to watch goes on complete standstill on Sundays. I don’t care about Classic Emmerdale so that’s not my beef but ya. Such a dry, empty day full of unnecessary delays.

[Redway]

11. Just has a very empty feeling.

[joeysteele]

I love Sundays.
It's the one day if the week I can just about switch off from everything.
Unless I'm absolutely snowed under as to any work related stuff

Near all the time, on Sundays everything stops for me and I just go where I want, do what I want and more wind down and relax.

That’s what I hate about Sundays. Everything’s in the limbo, from decent TV (minus a smattering of Sunday-night highlights, maybe) to the shops before and after a certain a.m. and p.m. to updates about your life-situation (which you kind of need when certain things in your life aren’t settled) to … just everything. It’s too empty and boring for my liking. When you’re in a season of your life where you want resolution, movement and change, Sundays being the anti-thesis of that isn’t so welcome.

Children playing in the communal garden outside my window. For those of us who work nights during the week, the constant screaming is a damn nightmare. Especially this one little girl who will not stop the performative squealing. I know we were all kids once, but Holy Lord it just makes you want to lean out the window and tell them to shut the **** up already.

..I don’t know how you’d be with a white noise type thing playing while you’re sleeping to help block out the outside sounds and create a better sleeping ambience…earplugs I guess is another possible thing…I feel your frustration, though when you’ve worked a long shift and just need sleep as we all do…

Way ahead of you on the white noise there, Ammi. ;) I particularly like playing sounds of a steam engine during a storm. That's always very peaceful and comforting for me. But yes, I've thought before about investing in a pair of earplugs, and I think I'll have to take the plunge now.

…you’re often way ahead of us all, Ray…:love:…I’m thinking that’s maybe because you don’t get much sleep time though…:fan:…

[Redway]

What about you, Ammi? Anything you particularly dislike about Sundays?

…hmmmmm, I’m trying to think and I’m not sure that there is anything…I mean, I’m sure that I have Sundays that aren’t so good but because of other events that make them that way, not peculiar to them because they’re a Sunday…/…if that makes sense…

12. So incredibly dull and boring. Argh. Here we are again.

It’s not even about Sunday-night pre.-Monday scaries/anxieties about the week ahead. The day itself is just so, so, so, so boring and everything feels off.

[Crimson Dynamo]

A brilliant day of football today. Love a sporty sunday

:dance:

If Sunday was a person, I’d do a Homer Simpson and strangle it half to death, then burn it to ashes.

“If you like Sundays you are wrong.”

Just-plain wrong, because how? How? What’s so good about abject boredom?

[Gusto Brunt]

The whole town is dead. :(

[Crimson Dynamo]

Sunday morning, up with the lark
I think I'll take a walk in the park
Hey, hey, hey, it's a beautiful day

[Ray.]

UGH.

I gather this happened to you yesterday? :laugh:

[Redway]

I gather this happened to you yesterday? :laugh:

It did. I was already in a cruddy mood by that point, with a deadly-serious case of the Sunday-afternoon/evening blues, but hyperactive little kids running around during the match (not a big footie fan, but it’s a vibe sometimes) didn’t help. I had a pint of water (I’m in-between paydays and skint, so I couldn’t afford a proper drink) and just left.

Going to the pub in general to drink tap water is pathetic to some but there’s nothing else you can do when your disposable income’s substantially reduced and you could still do with the atmosphere of just quietly vibing with your locals, until you’re paid. Match-days naturally give Sundays a bit of a kick in terms of people there (otherwise it’s one of the deadest days of the week) but kids in-general ruin adult spaces, and in general kids are especially rife in pubs on Sunday. You wouldn’t take a kid to Slug and Lettuce so why take them to the pub?
