Today Is ‘Good Riddance Day’

It's out with the old, and in with the new a few days ahead of the new year for those who just can't wait to put the past behind them. Wednesday is "Good Riddance Day," a day where you're encouraged to say goodbye to whatever troubled you in 2011, and start 2012 with a clean slate. New York City has been celebrating Good Riddance Day since 2007 by allowing folks in Times Square to destroy their bad memories of the old year with a giant paper shredder/13News. More here.

Question: What happened in 2011 that you want to say "Good Riddance" to?
