Dentally Incorrect May Days
There’s a holiday for everything. Whether nationally recognized or, more importantly, decreed by the internet, there’s always something to celebrate. Relatedly, May is National Dental Care Awareness Month, which has slowly overtaken National Asparagus Month as being the most uncelebrated. Here’s some other stuff you didn’t ask to know about regarding the day-to-day holidays in May.
May 3
Lumpy Rug Day
The two pillars of this holiday are: (1) Throw out lumpy rugs and buy new ones, and (2) not to sweep things under the rug, so to speak. Especially don’t put a new, clean rug atop a lumpy, old rug, or you’ll be in the strictest violation of the holiday.
May 5
World Password Day
This important day is to ignore good advice like changing your old password (probably your pet’s name and a single number) to something with a minimum of 40 characters, four capital letters, two special characters and something regarding the Fibonacci sequence.

May 9
Alphabet Magnet Day
Created in 1972, these widely popular magnets have been showing up on fridges for more than 50 years. Celebrate their intriguing longevity in your practice by creating an anagram game of the name of the person you hate the most or by leaving colorful passive-aggressive poetry for the entire office to ponder.

May 13
Blame Someone Else Day
While most would recommend that this holiday be taken lightly, we suggest going hard in the paint and finding the most unsuspecting and naive scapegoat you can and blaming them for something equally insane and arbitrary. Example: Blame your office manager for global biodiversity loss or shrinkflation.

May 20
Endangered Species Day
Look, this one is pretty straightforward, and we hate that we even have to say this but ... just don’t go anywhere and shoot a lion. Don’t shoot anything. OK?!

May 24
Aviation Maintenance Technician Day
Created by the FAA in 2001, which wasn’t the best year for flying as it turns out, this holiday highlights the talented technicians who maintain, repair, and keep a close eye on the six million parts found in the average commercial aircraft. Yep. That’s not a fib. There are, on average, six million parts in a Boeing 747! Six million different things could go wrong at any moment for any reason whatsoever. Well … have fun going to that trade show.

May 30
Hole in My Bucket Day
Remember that wacky children’s song “There’s a Hole in My Bucket”? You know, Henry has a leaky bucket and Liza gives terrible advice until the very end when the solution is just to get a new bucket? Or maybe the point of the song is that a leaky bucket still has a use. The point is, if there’s a hole in your bucket, throw Liza to the curb and find someone better.
