The people who are commenting on that or posting that (like "enough, 2016) mean it as a joke.
Yes, I know it's a joke. It's just that I've heard it so many times that I'm getting tired of it.
I've noticed a lot of people making jokes about 2016 but I definitely wouldn't call it a quarter of it.
"A quarter of it" was just a guess as to what fraction it was (that, in fact, I first wrote as "a half of it" and then decided "Nah, it wasn't THAT much..."). I still think it's definitely pretty close to how often I heard people talk about it at our group today.
And Person B isn't going to get mad at person A for not also having a bad year-that would be crazy.
That would be crazy, but I still feel like that's happening. :(
Another example-on 9/11, a lot of people had a very bad day, obviously. For me personally, I hung out with my best friend and went to a nice dinner and we had a really good day-totally fine that we were sad about what happened but also had our own experiences which happened to be good.
Except people still complain when things are released on September 11 even in a different year, like what I said about people STILL being upset about Super Mario Maker being released on that day last year. (Wow, I can only imagine how much those people would annoy me had it been released on September 11 of THIS year...) And again, I know that some of those people are joking, but it's a joke that's gotten really old.
