According to Reuters, today is the day...........Read on:
*QUOTE - Well, today is the day couples are most likely to have an argument, according to a relationship expert.
The theory is that post-holiday blues combined with the end of the summer and no more bank holidays until Christmas conspire together to make August 30 the day tempers will fray.
Paula Hall, a sexual and relationship psychotherapist, said the arguments can be explained by a simple equation: Post-Holiday Depression + Financial Strains - Lack of Light/Domestic Chaos = Relationship Stress.
"By August 30, tensions have reached an all time high, as couples realise their summer is well and truly over," Hall said.
"This often manifests itself in bickering and needless arguments which is not healthy for the well-being of a relationship."*UNQUOTE
What do you think?
Is it all a load of tosh, or do you actually think it has some truth to it?

People should stop being so shallow and pathetic, basing their happiness on holidays, summer and bank holidays. Without wanting to sound preachy (and God knows I do) can't we all just be glad to be alive??? Eeh, I don't know, young uns today ...

I get depressed when summer is over - but I highly doubt there is a specific day where people just want to kill each other because of it!
Sounds like some scientists just made a crap load of money putting out bunk theories!
Aloha!!

It is probably based on statistical probability so there may be something in it.
However, if I have to feel up one of the seven dwarves, I would much prefer it to be Happy!
