I like Wednesday. With rare exception, I never have to work on Wednesdays. ---

Saturday. Even though I normally do errands on Saturday and fun on Sunday, Sunday nights make me sad. ☹ ---

Wednesday because it’s usually a day off for me. If I’m allowed to have a second choice, I’d pick Sunday. I work most Sundays but it’s generally a good shift with none of the usual Mon-Fri politics. ---

Tuesday and Wednesday are tied for favorite. I always have those days off and my girlfriend and I get to spend some time together. Best is when of those days is an SSS day – scooters, sushi, and… I forget the other S, but it’s something I enjoy… it’s right on the tip of my tongue… ---

Saturday because I’ve usually had great sex the night before and I have a regularly scheduled massage that day. 🙂 ---

[quote=“scootergirl, post:13, topic:724958”] Any day that’s - “Business Time” Maybe Wednesday or Tuesday. 😃 Enjoy the video. [/QUOTE] > [@](#): > > There’s nothing good on TV. You haven’t had your after-work social sports team practice so you’re not too tired. Oh boy…it’s all on. You lean in and say something sexy like, “I might go to bed I’ve got work in the morning.” I know what you’re trying to say girl. You’re trying to say, “Oh, yeah. It’s business time. It’s business time.” That one still cracks me up after all these years. ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Yeah, just another day in paradise! I would rather have my health back and be working. When I was 20 and working my way through college (literally) I got a headache every Monday. But seriously, one day is pretty much like any other. I do like Tuesday because that is the day of the Science Times. I think I will go back and vote for it. ---

Saturday is the one I most consistently take off for real rest. The work week is busy and Sunday is usually just another work day. (Even if I’m not doing work work, I’m doing yard projects or house cleaning). My least favorite day of the week is Tuesday. If anything bad happens to me during the week, it will always be on a Tuesday. ---

It’s terribly unoriginal…but Saturday. Not only is it the weekend, but I don’t have the stress of knowing it’s the last day of the weekend and Monday is coming up. Worst day? Thursday. It’s so close to the weekend, but you have all of goddamn Friday to go through ---

Monday is my least favorite day of the week, not because it starts the work week, but because it ends my work week, and I have to work a longer shift that day. So the on the one day when I’m worn out from the work week and would like to take it easy and coast, I end up just as busy and working longer hours. Fie on Monday! ---

Saturday. And yes, the single best thing about retirement (ten years in) is that _every_ day is Saturday. ---

Have you noticed that if Sunday were placed at the top of the list (as is traditional with calendars for the most part) the distribution makes perfect sense as an ascending order of preference. View Poll Results: What’s your favorite day of the week?

But I’m puzzled why the hate for Sunday! :dubious: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/just-for-laughs-whats-your-favorite-day-of-the-week/724958.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/just-for-laughs-whats-your-favorite-day-of-the-week/724958.md?page=3)
