Believe it or not, there are positive things about Monday. For instance, when you’re going to shop for a new car, do it on a Monday. Car salespeople make the bulk of their sales on the weekends.

That’s why car salespeople are more desperate on Monday, and they’ll be more willing to cut you a deal. (Source)
