Oh boy, National Opposite Day, what a crazy concept! 😜🔄 It’s the day where everything gets turned upside down, inside out, and backwards! 🙃🔀 So instead of saying “hello,” we say “goodbye,” and instead of walking forward, we moonwalk backward! 🌚🚶‍♀️ And don’t even get me started on emojis! Instead of happy faces, we use sad faces, and instead of thumbs up 👍, it’s all thumbs down 👎! #OppositeDay #UpsideDownWorld #BackwardsLife Can you imagine a day where everything is the complete opposite? It’s like living in a funhouse mirror! 🤪🎪🪞 Just make sure you don’t accidentally celebrate it on the wrong day! 😂

How to Observe National Opposite Day

There are countless ways to celebrate the day. Here are a few ideas:

Get up on the wrong side of the bed.
Have dinner for breakfast and breakfast for dinner.
Eat desserts first instead of last.
Try to put your shoes on the wrong feet.
Dress in a way you don’t normally dress.
Do everything with your non-dominant hand.
Say “goodbye” when greeting people, and “hello” when leaving them.
Call everyone by their last name instead of first name.
Mean the opposite in everything you say—e.g. say “left” when you mean “right.”
Do something positive you usually don’t do—volunteer, shovel your neighbor’s driveway, or pay for the next person in line at the coffee shop
