Top 14 Facts About Mondays That Will Interest You by Cieno: 2:42pm On Aug 08, 2016
Hey there! DO you have that Monday morning feeling? Here are some facts about Mondays to cheer you up.

1. On average, most of us don’t crack our first smile until 11:16 a.m. A study, by Marmite in England, showed the Southeast was the happiest region, with people cracking the first smile at 11.06 a.m. The East Midlands are the glummest, taking until 11.33 a.m. to look on the bright side

2. Most people will moan about it being Monday. A survey in 2011 reported that the average person moans for about 34 minutes on a Monday morning, compared to 22 minutes on other days. That’s how much they hate Mondays. The biggest whingers are 45-to-54-year-olds, who spend at least 12 full minutes moaning

3. Monday is the least rainy day of the week. On average Monday is the least rainy day of the week, possibly as a result of man-made pollution decreasing over the weekend.


4. Monday is the only day of the week that is an anagram of a single word: ‘dynamo’.

5. People do their shopping online more on Mondays than they do any other day of the week.

6. Bob Geldof’s song I Don’t Like Mondays was written after he read of a US woman going on a shooting spree because she didn’t like Mondays.

7. ‘Monday’ is a slang term for a large, heavy sledgehammer.

8. The only film with Monday in its title to win an Oscar was ‘Closed Mondays’ which was voted Best Animated Short Film in 1974.

9. There were 53 Mondays in the year 2012. The next time this will happen will be 2018.

10. The best preferred ways to beat Monday blues are 1. Watching TV, 2. Sex, 3. On-line shopping, 4. Buying chocolate or make-up and 5. Planning a holiday.

11. Over 50% of employees are late to work A lame excuse won’t work; researchers claim that most of us find the start of the week so grim nearly half of us are late for work.

12. People between the ages of 45 and 54 are likely to suffer the most Monday blues

13. Workers only manage three-and-a-half hours of productive work Mondays tend to be fairly unproductive, with only about three-and-a-half hours of actual work getting done.

14. Monday is the best day to buy a car. Believe it or not, there are positive things about Monday. For instance, when you’re going to shop for a new car, do it on a Monday. Car sales people make the bulk of their sales on the weekends. When Monday rolls around, there are usually few customers in sight, and the weekend is a long way off. That’s why car salespeople are more desperate on Monday, and they’ll be more willing to cut you a deal.

It is not a big surprise that people do online shopping on Mondays. Monday is the first working day of the week. Nothing like a good shopping to start the week (if you have some money to spare of course). And that agrees with number 10.

Nice write up though.
