Discrimination Against Mondays

Last Thursday, Monday filed discrimination charges against the other days of the week, citing repeated accounts of being called depressing, difficult, and the worst day of the week.

Harassment and bullying started in the workplace over morning cups of coffee and hangovers from Sunday, but quickly moved to the internet in the form of Facebook statuses and LOLcats.

Here are some examples of harassment and bullying that Monday has included in it’s very lengthy discrimination case:

“A number of songs feature Monday, often as a day of depression, anxiety, or melancholy. For example, Monday, Monday (1966) from the Mamas & the Papas, Rainy Days and Mondays (1971) from the Carpenters, I Don’t Like Mondays (1979) from the Boomtown Rats, and Manic Monday (1986) from the Bangles.” -Wikipedia

Many of the internet images being passed around against Mondays:

It’s even recorded some slanderous words about it:

And even Youngnotions has been cited as anti-Monday.

But it turns out, the rest of the work week is just as depressing as Monday.

Reported in the Journal of Positive Psychology, a study found that people are just as depressed Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday as they are on Monday. Only Friday showed a slight elevation in spirits.

Monday claims that slander has caused it to lose its position of “first day of the week” to Sunday in America and on religious calendars, and fears if left unhindered, the trend will pick up in Europe and international calendars.

Sunday was unavailable for comment.
