The Official 2016 Can Go $@#% itself post.

[Garion_55]

Thought I would put this up here to see if it catches on.

2016 sucked. Bad.

A lot of the same reasons for many of us but others might have different stories as to why this year cant go away fast enough.

What makes you say that this year can go #%$@#$ itself?

For me it started with the death of my little brother, dealing with his passing, his service, a possible lawsuit.

In the middle of the year because of the grief and the stress and my state of mind it manifested itself into a physical condition which caused me to have to quit my job to heal.

Prince was emotional. One of my biggest childhood stars poof gone. That with my brother made me start questioning my own mortality and how much I missed the past.

Obviously the election. I mean really WTF america?

The minnesota vikings starting off 5-0 then taking a huge dump the rest of the season.

Finally to end off the year I got to put my kitty of 17 years to sleep. The right thing to do for sure but what a kick in the balls.






What about you? Was it the obvious stuff that made you hate this year? Was it something else? Something personal maybe you havent wanted to talk about?

All I know is that 2017 could get worse but its going to have to make a real effort to do so.

1. Serious health condition for my husband which I believe in part was due to the election.

This year can seriously go fuck itself

[Garion_55]

2. I am so sorry to hear that

I hope he recovers


I cant remember a year this awful since my parents divorced when I was 13.

[onecaliberal]

3. I hope he does too. Thank you for the kind words.

Hope 2017 is better for all of us.

[Qanisqineq]

4. Nothing bad happened to me personally 2016, but

A LOT bad happened in 2013-2015 and there was so much going on then that it didn't have a chance to sink in and hit me. Until things slowed down this year. Then it could all hurt.

Then there was the election. UGH. Still hurts.

And as a Vikings fan... I'm used to disappointment but I'd rather they just sucked all season.

5. My BIL, massive heart attack, age 55

No warning at all, or maybe he was so stressed from his job that he didn't tell anyone he wasn't feeling well. DH's only sibling, 2 years younger. You're not supposed to bury your little brother.
He was a proud liberal who despised Trump with a passion and didn't live long enough to vote against him. Nov. 9 his wife was so upset she said she was glad Matt was gone so he couldn't see this.
I don't see how, but 2017 HAS to be better.

[uponit7771]

16. "2017 has to be better".... Amen and Amen!!!

[maryellen99]

6. This year can go die in a fire

My husband was diagnosed with early stage kidney cancer.

My mom had a mild stroke and then a mild heart attack

Prince,George Michael dying

The election

My sweet 18 year cat Baby went to The Rainbow Bridge.

[Garion_55]

7. I feel you about the kitty.

Mine just went on tuesday 8-(



so sorry for your awful year.

[maryellen99]

9. Thank you

The bright side is my mom is doing much better and my husband will be having his cancer removed. I'm so sorry about your kitty.

[nadine_mn]

11. Why is this such a shit year for kitties dying?

so sorry for your loss

[lunasun]

21. Sorry to hear of your loss .take care

[nadine_mn]

10. oh I am so sorry you lost your cat too

Our 17 yr old passed in April. Sorry to hear about your husband's cancer diagnosis and your mom's health

[maryellen99]

19. Thank you!

My husband's was caught very early thank god. He has kidney issues and his new nephrologist wanted another biopsy to compare to one he had a few years ago and they happened to find it. My mom is doing good.

[nadine_mn]

8. Our cat died, my uncle just died, my husband was fired on my birthday

We have had over $5000 in vet bills, $3000 in car repair bills, currently we have had a week long saga over pipes that froze burst, plumbers, carpenters etc (our landlord has been great tho).

Oh and that ass hat Trump is the president elect, Russia hacking, FBI bull shit, the rise in hate crimes

Prince fucking died (and Alan Rickman, and David Bowie, and now George Michael and so many others)

Fucking 2016 needs to burn in hell

[Garion_55]

23. So sorry for all your troubles

I've heard that life is suffering but there was just too much of it to go around this year.

[Texasgal]

12. My husband of 16 years died

On November 3rd due to liver disease. He was on a transplant list, made it all the way to #1 until he caught meningitis in the hospital. He was so sick this past year and any hope we had diminished within days of finding out about his infection.

2016 will always remind me of that fact. He passed away while I'll held his hand. I'll never be the same.

[uponit7771]

17. Omg so sorry to hear this .... I pray your heart heals as fast as possible

[femmocrat]

20. I am so sorry for your loss, Texasgal.

Such tragic circumstances.

[lunasun]

22. May he rest in peace. And peace to you in 2017

[kairos12]

29. You have my profound condolences.

[neverforget]

13. My father in law passed away Nov 30 of a heart attack.

Seriously, 2016 can go fuck itself with a pineapple sideways. I'm sitting in his man cave looking at his sports memoribilia on the verge of tears. I knew him for 18 years. He just wasn't my fil, but my golfing buddy and friend. RIP my friend. Rum and diet coke for you my friend!

[Garion_55]

26. Sorry for your loss.

he sounds like he was an awesome guy

[briv1016]

14. [With the exeception of personal tragedy] You ain't seen nothing yet.

2017 will make 2016 feel like the good old days. Pick your poison, we're f*****.

[Garion_55]

27. i sure hope not

but nationally speaking i fear u are right with the shit storm that just arrived in dc

[uponit7771]

15. Lost my oldest brother, parents house burnt down, health issues ...Yeah this fuckin year can go away

[Maru Kitteh]

42. ohmygod uponit771, that's awful. Sorry for your losses.

Sorry about your brother and the house. House fires are SO utterly devastating and traumatic.

[uponit7771]

48. Parents got the all the pictures and VHS out... that's something to be thankful for... those things

... we can't get back

[kentuck]

18. Many passed this year...

[OhioBlue]

24. Lots of losses this year in my circle of family and friends.

Uncles, cousins, friends... most to cancer. Fucking cancer. The election. 2016 has been a year like none that I have known. Still, I am of mixed emotion... there were births, birthdays, milestones, cousins with opioid addictions that got clean, new job, and my immediate family is okay (there is a pending divorce that hurts those I love). It has been a year of ups and downs, totally bipolar. I don't like it. I don't like the loss, I don't like the uncertainty and I don't like the diminished hope for our country.

[Initech]

25. It started with the death of Lemmy and ended with George Michael.

Not to mention the election of President Man Baby. Fuck 2016!!

[NastyRiffraff]

28. Stephen Colbert on 2016:

[Maru Kitteh]

44. Thanks for posting that Nasty, it was PERFECT.

[NastyRiffraff]

45. You're very welcome, Maru

Buh-bye and good riddance 2016!

[LWolf]

30. 2016

had two very high points which I am clinging to: the birth of my grandbaby and the incredibly inspiring Sanders revolution, which sparked the first true hope I've had since my gullible youth.

The rest? It sucked.

The bazillion celebrity deaths, including so many of my generations icons.

The fucking primaries and the Democratic Party's stubborn insistence on identity politics, establishment power, and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Donald Fucking Trump and the global humiliation of the United States of America.

The suicide attempt of a student directly related to the legal abuse enacted by his parents.

There's more, but the above is enough.

[Ms. Toad]

31. Breast Cancer, Diabetes, Autoimmune thyroid disease

The last two were diagnosed near the end of 2015 - but getting them in remisison took significant amounts of energy during 2016.

Too busy to do to take time off from treatment - so I worked a minimum of 60 hours a week throughout. Stinks.

[Garion_55]

36. I cant imagine how difficult that must have been.

hoping next year is better

[Different Drummer]

32. All the celebrity deaths this year....

plus the U.S. losing its collective mind and electing Chief Tweeting Bull as leader of the free world pretty much ruined 2016 for me. The only bright spot I can think of in this year is my Atlanta Falcons winning the NFC South title.

[Boomerproud]

33. Good Ridddence 2016!

A car accident on April 19th in which my car was totaled.

Much sadder, of course, my mother passing away on May 1st.

I hated everything about this year-turning 60 didn't help.

The election and the continuing 24/7 Trump clown show.

2017 doesn't look promising either-and I refuse to watch the coronation.

[yuiyoshida]

34. 2016 can go suck it...

The Oakland Raiders make the playoffs after 14 years only to have Derek Carr, their QB, go out for the season with a broken ankle. This guy was on his way as a MVP contender even if he never made it to the Superbowl.

[Garion_55]

35. RIP PRincess

2016 not done kicking our asses just yet 8-(

[Garion_55]

37. Almost done with this crappy year.

Cant be over fast enough

[Garion_55]

38. Please God let me get through these last few hours

without anything else going to shit.

hopefully it only gets better next year

[frankieallen]

39. I think this tread needs a positive post

except for election night, 2016 was a very good year for me.
I left a job I could not stand anymore, took the summer off, and started a great new job in September.
Bought 2016 harley limited touring bike in April, the toy i always wanted.
Made my final mortgage payment in January, 15 year note payed off in 12 years.
Wife left a great job at one company, started an even better job at another company, now makes more than I do. ( this is why i was able to take the summer off)
Daughter got engaged to a great guy

Then election night came, I was shocked at what I saw happening and was quite upset for a time after. It is what it is, no point in letting it affect your life any more than it has to. All in All I'm a very lucky man and grateful for my family and my life.
I am very optimistic about 2017.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

40. Generally I'm an optimist

However looking back on 2016 I have to say this year sucked ass.

I lost my youngest brother to ALS earlier this year. Though we knew this was coming it's still weird to think he's no longer around.

He was 51. Unfortunately his oldest daughter is the only adult among his four children. His widowed wife is not the most stable person so I often worry about the rest of his kids.

And of course there's the cluster fuck disaster of an election this November. I don't think I've ever seen a more incompetent and immoral group of leaders in my lifetime.

With them in charge it's doubtful 2017 will be any better.

[Garion_55]

41. Almost time now

4 hours here till this shitshow of a year is finally over with.

[Maru Kitteh]

43. 6 to go out here in MST

Not fast enough.

[Raine]

46. I'll be glad to see the end of this horrid year, can't be over

soon enough to suit me!

[BlueStater]

47. My problems are small potatoes compared to that of other's.

But I was forced to move from a city I enjoyed living in to one which isn't growing on me and probably never will. It's full of Trump supporters, it's hard to for me to get around (the layout isn't exactly friendly to people who don't drive cars), there isn't a whole hell of a lot to do here, I don't know anybody, and I have zero social life to speak of. My life is incredibly dull and uneventful at the moment and it's depressing.
