National Blame Someone Else DayNational Blame Someone Else Day First Friday the Thirteenth of the Year
"National Blame Someone Else Day" is always celebrated on the first Friday the 13th of the year.
The way to celebrate is self-explanatory in the name, and not much more needs to be said.
If you do not want to blame someone, put the blame on something (remember, it is all in fun!)
HISTORY
National Blame Someone Else Day was invented by Anne Moeller of Clio, Michigan in 1982.
One day, her alarm clock failed to go off, hence creating a domino effect of bad luck events throughout the day.
The day happened to be Friday the 13th.
So, I guess we can blame Anne Moeller of Clio, Michigan for National Blame Someone Else Day?

I can do that any time.
Just so people know, "Clio" is NOT pronounced like "Cleo." It rhymes with "bio" (as in short for biography).
