Why Balinese Calendar might be annoying:

    Because the Wuku cycle needs to be exactly 210 days, an extra day is added (by formula) to some weeks.
    The calendar is so complex that only priests are motivated to calculate it; so religious observance can be performed.
    Just about every 15th day is an unlucky day.
    Every 30 months, a leap month is added.
    Every 63 days, a day is skipped.
    A holiday seems to reoccur every 35 days.
    New Years are important because that is when ghosts (spirits) visit their ancestors.

Why Balinese Calendar might not be annoying:

    It celebrates 2 new years every year.
    They string long beautiful strips from coconut trees when their ancestors return to heaven 5 days after each new years.
    It gives the priests who calculate the calendar something to do.
    Mathematicians were able to figure out a way to calculate the calendar.
