Happy Singles’ Day!

I just received an email from Sunrise- Celebrate Singles’ Day with us!

Did you guys know that such a day existed? I wish all the single lonely people of the forum a happy Singles’ Day. Hope you are all having a smashing day with yourself

It’s because the date is all ones. 11 11.

Media/marketing hype.

Armistice day in some countries rather than singles ́ day..

Today is St. Martin's Day in Schwyz. The area has a day off.

Could have sworn there was something I remembered about the date.

It’s also the first official day of fasnacht.

All the best on your singlehood! (judging from the meme only..)

How did Sunrise know? Or was it random?

Interesting question, never asked about civil status when making a phone contract. What else they have in their customer database?

I just find it a bit creepy.

This 'singles day' is one of the biggest Chinese shopping holidays, but the fact that now western countries are adopting this is indeed new. I think it's been around only for a couple of years in Europe..

Be careful what you search for, too...

I did an image search the other day for "funny butt plugs" and now Google thinks I have a genuine interest in butt plugs.

It was random. Probably bombarding everyone! How would Sunrise know about all the old ladies I hang with

That's intriguing..Is there a Valentine's Day in China?

Under certain circumstances, being single could well be something to celebrate.

I guess that they don't have Sunrise cells?

You should call them today.."Hey, happy singles day. Do you want to change that?"

You don't want to know what "goats" mean in my mother tongue.
