Dear customer.... Sorry you thought your appointment was at 1:30 when it was 3:30. I know it's easy to say "you told me that" but I sure didn't. It's written on the ticket in 2 places "in shop at 3:30". But besides that, I NEVER book a 1:30 because we do mobile service in the middle of the day, I can't have him here at 1:30 and then send him back out on the road 45 min from here.
Hope you have a pleasant day anyway, you're welcome for us making a special trip to KC to pick up your parts at no extra charge.
Add yours.

Dear Post Office....
Please deliver my package that your postal worker lied about and said “attempted delivery” Thursday—it’s bullshit—I was here ALL day Thursday and they did not leave it, in fact the same postal worker left 2 other packages on my porch the same day they say that they “attempted” to deliver.
I’ve called you each day to ask where it is, and I’ve gotten “it’s out in the truck”, “it will be delivered today” (Friday and Saturday), “call back if it’s not delivered today” (Saturday) to the response today—“it’s sitting here, come get it”—-I PAID to have my package DELIVERED not to be picking it up.
So I got “they’ll have to bring it tomorrow”. Assholes. My box has food stuffs in it (I told them that). I’ve already reported the issue to the Amazon (UPS delivery handed off the package to USPS). Grrrr! I just want my $100 worth of stuff already!!!!

Dear new management team,
Our NICU functioned great before you arrived and decided you need to micromanage every single freaking thing. I’ve been here 25 years and planned to retire here. I’m now looking for a new job.

Gravity - that stinks! It is so hard when you have been at a place that long and some newbies come in and make change for change sake, without really accessing the situation. I'm sorry you are dealing with that.

UPDATE:
My box was delivered a few minutes ago. Yay!
The box was huge—now I know why the nail carrier didn’t want to try! (It wasn’t terribly heavy)
Amazon either needs to not be packing so much into one box, or for the prime pantry boxes, unsure that UPS doesn’t hand them off to USPS.

Happened over the weekend. When you eat out with people (whether it's friends or Family) and someone doesn't put in enough money for what they consumed(entree, two margaritas, dessert). They they try to pull "oh just split the bill seven ways...so $32 each".
Nope! Absolutely not! I had an entree (12.99 and water). I am not paying 32.00. With contribution towards tip, my share is ($13 with 20% tip 2.60= 15.60+tax) I will round up to $20.
This is one of my pet peeves.... Eating out with others. I will pay my share. I will NOT split a bill equally. Especially when I didn't consume cocktails or eat dessert.
Then the one who didn't put in enough and had to contribute more, acts indignant.

Dear temp agency,
If you send me one more flaky, idiotic, person that you swear you vetted and tested I will come unglued. Your candidates should be prepared for a 90 day assignment (not 9 hours) and not need a tutorial on how to save internet favorites or navigate windows explorer

I needed a typist that knew Word. That’s all the qualifications I specified. In about 2 weeks time, I never kept a single person past lunch. It was crazy. |

This is a big vent. We are still in the midst of a divorce and have a court date back in California next month.
I was asking for yet another disbursement of house proceeds to pay for it and knowing that, my soon to be XDH has blocked this disbursement even though he said yes to other ones.
Both of us have to agree on any disbursements for either of us to take one. He knows I was coming out to see our kids along with my mother in his mother so to block me from that is just really asinine.
If I were to sign his ridiculous settlement agreement, I could get all my funds and his attorney so much as just told me that. Therefore, it seems they are trying to strong-arm me into signing something I don’t want to.
It won’t work though. I will figure something out to make this happen. I would think after getting rid of my entire house full of possessions that he would stop being such a dick but I guess not.
Meanwhile, he’s spending the Fourth of July flying to San Francisco with his new girlfriend. When we were together, he claimed to hate airports and anytime he goes anywhere of a distance with the kids, he makes it so they have to drive. My daughter is not too thrilled with him right now.

I received this #metoo apology letter from a man I knew a long time ago last week. We have mutual friends still but haven't spoken in 15 years.
Honestly, it was just this blindside gut punch and I have absolutely no idea how I feel about it. I am just fucking angry that I am having to deal with it again. He has always occupied a space in my head but it didn't hurt any more.
I am angry because what happened between us, really wasn't all that bad. I am angry that I think in terms like that. I am angry that it brought back up enough shame and highlights the other things that have happened to me that *were* that bad, and that shame just comes flooding back too. I am angry and embarrassed that part of me does feel validated by his letter, and even that validation feels like some kind of power over me.
I do have a lot of good men in my life- but sometimes it feels in the wake of this that I am still just having to manage *their* emotions as they examine and navigate this newer reality. Does that make any sense?
Ugh. I just feel like puking.

I am going through this too. I may not feel the physical pain, or have the nightmares. But I see the pain, help with the pain, and am woken abruptly during your screaming nightmares. I also bear the brunt of your anxiety, anger and frustrations that come out.

Dear Customer,
Just because you are an old white male and "have been around forever" does not give you the right to call me Sweetheart and my female colleague Honey when you try to (incorrectly) correct us. We are surprisingly enough, not stupid.
Hugs and kisses,
Jessica

This is one of my biggest peeves. Especially because I don't drink alcohol, and I usually just stick to free table water when we go out. I refuse to split the bill if mine comes to $30 and the others are all $50+. One of my good friends is still traumatised from the time she refused to split the bill because hers only came to a fraction of the split amount, and her friend's arsehole, I mean husband, told her she was a tight arse. We went out recently with friends for one guy's birthday - there were 8 of us. Me and another guy are non drinkers, so I thought I'd put it out there right from the get-go, and asked the birthday boy what we were going to do about the bill. He said that he was going to pay for everyone's drinks (which came to $360!!!) and we all just paid for our meal. We had the banquet so everyone paid exactly the same. I felt rather embarrassed for even bringing it up! |

We just came back from a cruise.
We are prompt.
Our tablemates were not.
We had to wait until all arrived until they put our order in.
Next time, table for 2.

I had a micro-manager in a job I had years ago and my strategy was that I was proactive to the extreme in my communications with her...basically letting her know every.little.thing I had done, was currently doing, and was planning to do every day. (This was in a software development job.) She eventually toned it down and wasn't quite so over-the-top in her micro managing. The extra communication on my part also had the effect of giving me something to focus on besides her freaking power trip micromanagement, and at least I knew I had control over my portion of the communication. Made me feel a little less powerless and less prone to being blindsided. KWIM?

FIL gets multiple beers or drinks (3 or 4) and then wants to split the bill three ways with my parents and us when the rest of us don't sped $30 on drinks. |

Dear backyard neighbor, They built our entire neighborhood in the time it is taking you to build your shed, that you do not have a permit for because it is pressed up against our shared block wall, and not to code. By now you have noticed, I have 3 dogs that do not appreciate you standing on our shared wall, or shooting your air nail gun FOR HOURS AT A TIME, and they will end up with organ damage if I have to keep giving them Xanax, every damn day. You have worked on this thing everyday for 6 weeks. Are you building a meth lab? WTF???

Hey, pedestrians. STOP CROSSING AGAINST THE LIGHT. It says "don't walk" for a damn good reason, which is that traffic you're not paying attention to because this isn't a typical intersection HAS A GREEN LIGHT.
Also, when you enter a crosswalk with two seconds left on the countdown, PUT A LITTLE HUSTLE IN YOUR STEP, WILL YA? You should have known you couldn't cross six lanes in that amount of time.

My in-laws wanted to come over to celebrate my birthday (that was last Wednesday) for dinner tonight. They asked when was a good time to come. Dh said 6, since we are headed out of town tomorrow and need to pack. No one asked me what I wanted for dinner.
We have mil's car in our car app so we know where she is. At 6:05 her car left their house and started driving the opposite direction. At 6:45 we get a call from her that she had sent Fil to pick up the food and he was on his way back to get her and then they would be up. So in the meantime, I made dinner for the kids because they were melting down. They arrived at 7:20. Over half the food was stuff that I never eat and the rest was on the questionable side. We have been to the restaurant they got it from with them multiple times. They ordered one thing that is part of our normal order. And then gleefully commented that they don't have to make dinner for the next 2 nights.
Then time for my card. I open it up and it's a normal boring generic card. Then behind it is a card from the local movie chain. I open it up and it has a gift card with stocking on it. Dated Dec 10, 2018, it says to: DH (printed) & beaglemom (handwritten) From: Mom (printed) & dad (handwritten). Mil had dh as the person that she was supposed to buy stocking stuff for this past Christmas. So my "birthday" present was the thing she forgot to put in his stocking. Just further evidence that we are afterthoughts in their lives.

Dear client, READ THE FREAKING (not so fine) FINE PRINT. There are three grades of the thing you want, and you’re not getting the super deluxe one for the price of the cheapest one. Not.Gonna.Happen. And people who cancel their appointment at 10:30 the night before the day DH is scheduled to come out so no one else has a chance to book an appointment in that slot on a busy, otherwise solidly booked up holiday week? You suck too!  |

Dear people where I live:
The goddamn tree that has been on the school grounds for over 80 years HAD TO COME DOWN. It was diseased and rotting from the inside out. I get that many of us sat under it etc but where was all this CONCERN over the last year as the school was trying to decide what to do? How many of you attended board meetings? SO now you're all mad that it was taken down. And to those who wanted the district to wait until the annual festival takes place--two weeks from now--one of you dicks would have probably climbed it while drunk, fallen from it and then sued. Oh those of you on our local FB page--READING comprehension is key.
People are such dicks. The district has taken a 'sample' of the tree and will replant that once ready.
