National Go Bonkers Day

Have you ever been asked if you are having twins when you are in fact only carrying one child?  Has a homeless person lifting weights in Walmart ever remarked that you're fat?  Are you sick of your doctor keeping you in the waiting room for hours without a shred of apology once he/she sees you, but then he/she charges you an exorbitant fee if you need to cancel an appointment?  Has your neighbor ever hit your car and then scolded you because they think you shouldn't park in the street?  Have you ever been asked by a colleague if you know the way to the local planned parenthood when you announce that you are pregnant with your second child (apparently he/she felt that you were procreating at too rapid a rate)?  Are you sick and tired of your pathetic government acting like a bunch of pompous, whiny, self righteous a-holes?  Do you just sometimes feel like you adhere to some unspoken social and communication code that no one else seems to follow anymore?

If you can relate to any of the above scenarios, I am sorry and I hereby introduce to you National Go Bonkers Day.  What is National Go Bonkers Day?  It's a day for those of us who try to be kind, sensitive, empathetic and considerate to do the exact opposite.  It's a chance for us to  absolutely lose our minds and behave in the off color, insensitive manner that other people behave on a regular basis.  It's time to let loose, speak your mind and go absolutely bat-shit looney!

Tell your colleague who complains that the toilet paper roll dispenses toilet paper too slowly and is a "complete waste of time",  that she is down right pathetic, self important and a horrible example of a human being.  Tell your cantankerous and nasty neighbor to go fly a kite.  Write a scathing letter to your congressman to express your deep disappointment with his or her behavior and that you find them to be a loathsome creature.  Deliver an emotional and provocative monologue on anything that is causing you angst.  Feel free to deliver said speech standing atop a milk crate in the center of your street or record it and upload it to YouTube.  Whatever it is that is bothering you, let it out and let it out in a big way.  GO BONKERS!

Some Go Bonkers forefathers that we should glean inspiration from:

• Steven Slater- former flight attendant for jet blue who quit his job in an over the top way
• Jerry Maguire- fictional sports agent who has a moral epiphany and expresses it
• Marina Shifrin- quit her job in a very public Youtube video.  Awesome.
• Chris Christie- I don't always agree with him or his politics, be he knows when to give a stern talking to or to call people out for their BS

Let me know who else should be added to list!  Maybe it will be YOU.
