Since the majority of people in america have monday to friday jobs, and many do not wish to go have drinks on a tuesday, friday is a day to gather with friends. People who plan parties and events know that most people have more availability on fridays and weekends so they plan more parties and events on those days.
- oscardelben 17y agoYes, but the expression "thanks god" could be interpreted as a strong desire to leave what you've done this week behind, as if you didn't care at all about it.
- thinkbohemian 17y agoI agree, this sentiment is horrible, if used for those reasons. For those of us working on personal projects and startups, we should make it "thank god its monday" a sentiment to convey we're happy the rest of the world can now get back to work and we can continue our slow conquest of the world ^_^
- itg 17y agoit's not that they don't care, but some people like having a strong boundary between their work and home life, and the tgif comes from being able to leave your work behind and enjoy/relax/party for the weekend.
- wlievens 17y agoNine-to-five day jobs suck, news at eleven. Not everyone on earth is busy working on their awesome successfull fulfilling startup, you know. I feel like this every friday, as I'm sure almost everyone else does, and I'm not in a position to change much about it any time soon.
- oscardelben 17y agoOk, but making it a trend wont help.
