Good Riddance 2009
New Yorkers (and visitors to the area who had the foresight to carry things around that irritate them!) have said goodbye to their bad memories from 2009 in a public shredding ceremony in Times Square.
Items that got shredded included:
- Letters from ex-lovers,
- Photos of ex-lovers,
- Redundancy letters,
- and newspaper clippings of bad days for people’s favourite sports teams!
This is the third event of it’s kind!
One “shredder” placed a piece of paper into the shredder that simply said “Writer’s Block” – she hopes to write a musical this year.
For items that could not be shredded, the Times Square Alliance were most helpful in providing a sledgehammer and a large waste-container.
What would we have in the UK, maybe the “Pointless Kitchen Gadgets Destruction Day?” – Let me know in the comments!
