World Toilet Day

World Toilet Day...at first glance, this seems like an unlikely candidate for a holiday and more like some sort of joke, but the day is nowhere as trivial or humorous as it may seem. All in all, it strives to draw attention to various sanitation issues around the world and work towards resolving them. Despite access to proper sanitation being declared a basic human right, one in three people across the globe, so some 2.5 billion people in total, do not have regular access to a toilet. Additionally, even amongst those who do have such access, unclean and unsafe toilets pose problems of their own, including contributing towards the spread of diseases like cholera, typhoid and hepatitisin some parts of Africa, diarrhoea is one of the main child-killers. Open defecation is also responsible for increasing the number of sexual assaults perpetrated on women and children. Furthermore, when young girls begin menstruating, the lack of privacy forces them to stay home from school, thus limiting their chances of getting a basic education and, what comes after that, a decent job in the future. World Toilet Day's ultimate goal is to allow everyone on the planet to take care of their most basic needs without having to fear for their safety.

History of World Toilet Day

World Toilet Day was created by the World Toilet Organization in 2001. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon of the United Nations said: "We have a moral imperative to end open defecation and a duty to ensure women and girls are not at risk of assault and rape simply because they lack a sanitation facility. He went on to talk about how having to defecate openly infringes on human safety and dignity, and how women and girls risk rape and abuse as they wait until night falls to relieve themselves because they lack of access to a toilet that offers privacy. Another issue is that toilets generally remain inadequate for populations with special needs, such as the disabled and elderly. Since its inception, World Toilet Day has played a vital role in challenging governments, businesses and other groups to make changes. It has also worked towards breaking various taboos surrounding the topic, in order to facilitate discussion and lead to the creation of better, safer solutions.

How to Celebrate World Toilet Day

I think by now it's been made abundantly clear that World Toilet Day is far from being a joke, dealing instead with the protection of one of humanity's most basic rights. So how can you help? There are a number of things you could do. For starters, why not visit the World Toilet Day website, Facebook page or Twitter account and share the message across social media platforms? This may seem like a tiny, unimportant gesture, but raising awareness about serious problems is one of the tings social media does best, aside from bombarding you with pictures of babies and kittens. The more people know about a problem, the more money can be raised to fight it, as the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge so perfectly demonstrated. So don't think your clicking "share means nothing. It doesn't. Another thing you could do as a way of observing World Toilet Day Would be of course to make a donation, so if you have the means, know that every dollar helps.

Have a Bad Day Day

There's nothing wrong or evil about having a bad day. There's everything wrong with making others have to have it... with you.

Neil Cavuto

And that, ladies and germs, is precisely why you should embrace the glory that is "Have a Bad Day Day. When you're having a bad day, you shouldn't have to suffer alone, so wish everyone you meet "Have a Bad Day, but do it with the brightest, cheeriest smile you can put on your face. Chaos, my friends, is the heart of the revolution, and all revolutions started on a Bad Day.

History of Have a Bad Day Day

There's a job out there that ensures that you're going to have a Bad Day, possibly dozens of times a day. What job is that? Anything in the customer service industry. If you've never worked in the customer service industry it's important to understand that your soul is impeccably clean, and you've never truly known a day of suffering. We are all customers at some point in our lives, and unfortunately, that means that we all join the ranks of the truly walking dead. Retail customers, be afraid friends, be afraid. But Have a Bad Day Day gives our heroes in the customer service industry a chance to strike back...

Every agent has to end their spiel, no matter how rotten the customer was, with the phrase "Have a Nice Day!, but on Have a Bad Day Day, they get a reprieve from this monotonous platitude and get to instead assail their customers with that most delightful of passive-aggressive phrases. "Have a Bad Day! announced in the cheeriest tone they can manage, and then they revel in the confusion as their customers try to make out whether or not they've just been insulted. They'll never know.

How to celebrate Have a Bad Day Day

Well, it's all wrapped up in the above really. Have a Bad Day Day is your opportunity to get out there and truly wish the worst of the worst on people with a cheery "Have a Bad Day!. Even if you're not a customer service agent, you're sure to know someone who deserves to be confused by being told to have a bad day in a voice that says have a good one. Let your malice run unabated today, and pass it on to those who will never know you're not just being silly. Vengeance is mine, sayeth the teller.
