Dear Male Client,

I know I am female, I know I work in a male dominant industry, but I do the same work the guys do. Stop assuming I am the secretary/receptionist...DAMMIT!

Signed,

I am just as good as they are...probably better!

Amen to that

Dear retiree,

Could you please avoid the road during the prime hours of the work force? Also could you avoid grocery shopping over the lunch hour? Some of us have no other choice.

Thank you,
Working too much & cranky

Dear loud colleague,

Conducting phone interviews from your desk in a cube farm probably isn't quite kosher. Neither is discussing the candidates with other managers over the phone in your loud voice. Just sayin'

[TD2K]

Lots of people seem to raise their voice when they are on the phone. Myself included to some extent, it's something I try to watch.

I know, and I do too sometimes. But this particular colleague has actually admitted in the past that she knows she gets loud sometimes, and that she just has a naturally loud voice even in regular conversation. So if she knows she has an issue with this, don't you think she'd get a conference room for these calls?

Mrs. D, you live in my neighborhood? Karma for you!

And I'd like to add:

Dear RV-driving snowbird,

No, no, and heck NO! Don't drive that piece-o-crap, butt-dragging, rent-a-wreck motor home(less) in the CENTER lane. Ever. Not even at midnight, and certainly not during rush hour. You make the whole damn state look bad.

Thanks.

Yes!! People call the shop all the time and ask for DH. Well, DH don't talk on the phone and he usually leaves things up to me anyways (price quotes, etc)

Just because I'm female don't mean that I don't know anything about guns

Dear baby:

No you cannot have the remote, mommy is talking on the phone no you can't have it, mommy's hair is not a pull toy, daddy's shoe is not a teething ring, for the love of God hold still while I try to put this diaper on you!

Karma for drama for this!

Dear baby:

What the is up with refusing to go to bed? Sleep is good! Mommy & Daddy would kill to get some sleep! You have no idea how appreciative you are going to be of sleep when you have a child who screams thru the night just like you! (yes I am putting the curse on you!)

Then you are all smiles in the morning like nothing happened. Must be nice to be able to survive on only four hours sleep you little booger!

Dear Dentist,

I called to cancel my appointment and asked you to send my records to another dentist. When asked why, I told you that the office has poor customer service and that I wasn't confident in the billing after you billed me twice for the insurance disallowed amount and insurance called you twice. You sent me a reminder card for the canceled appointment. I called and explained all of this again. Yesterday, you called to remind me of the appointment that was canceled. I explained this all again. You better not send me a bill for being a no show.

No, I will never be back.

You do realize that your baby will now remain childfree in order to get around your curse, right?

Dear coworker,

When I tell you that you have option X chosen, and that you need to choose from options A - F, don't come back and tell me that option X is correct. It's not correct, or I wouldn't have contacted you in the first place! Just because your title and pay are better than mine doesn't mean that you are better than me. Trust me on this one.

Dear Social Workers;

Fax machines sometimes fail, due to a wide variety of reasons. Just because you faxed it to me doesn't mean I got it, just because you didn't get it doesn't mean I didn't fax it.

Dear neighbor,

Please wear a shirt when mowing your grass. Yes, I understand you are trying for a tan, but YOU wearing a bikini top and shortie cut-offs is vomitous. Nobody in the cul-de-sec appreciates the view.

Thanks, and if you'd like to move, we'll all help you pack!

Dear people using fax machines,

It is 2011 - can't you buy a scanner and email the doc?

[DebMD (banned)]

Dear 'Gimme a Shout',
There's something I want to thank-you for but I forgot.
Do you remember the time I told you I smelled gas in one of the rooms in my house and that I wasn't worried because when I went down to the basement where the gas furnace was I didn't smell any gas there. So, I was going to ignore it. You VERY calmly told me to call the gas company which I did and everything checked out fine.
I didn't realize the danger I could have been in. I wish you would have YELLED at me, because I could have disregarded your calm tone to my crispy critter dead self.

Anyway Thanks

Most times, no I can't. My business email has limited space, and most attachments won't go through.

Dear Contractor,

Do not even think of insinuating that I am simple-minded because I could not find the results you wanted. The fact that you did not provide sufficient information for me to locate what you wanted does not make this my fault, nor does it make me stupid. And the fact that you let my boss know about this is not a forgiveable act. My memory is far better than yours, and don't you forget it.

Dear drivers at the busy intersection I must cross every morning,

Rushing to get on to a metered ramp does not gain you anything. And running down pedestrians in the crosswalk in said rush is really not going to get you to work any earlier. Red means stop.


Corollary: Dear city,

Installing a red light camera at this intersection would generate enough revenue in fines to cover any budget shortfall for the city, and for 3 more cities besides.

[Artemis Windsong]

You are not my friend if you think I get of on or I will pay you to stalk me. How stupid of you to be so gullible to play into this with someone you don't know.

[woodwand]

Dear friend on FB, you are sharing WAY too much information, embarrassing yourself & possibly setting yourself up for something bad to happen.

[thyme4change]

Ah - sins of facebook. I could write several anonymous letters for those.

Dear FB friend - I'm not a Christian, stop the daily prayers.
Dear FB friend 2 - I'm glad you love your husband, do you really have to post it 4 times a day?
Dear FB friend 3 - Do you even have a husband? It seems to be a girls night out every single night. And, BTW, you aren't 22 anymore, you don't look that great in that dress. You seem like a desperate old woman - stop going to the hottest bars.
Dear FB friend 4 - You don't have to post all 150 pictures from your son's game. I would actually look at 5 or 6, but I get bored after that.
Dear FB friend 5 - I know when Monday is. I know when Friday is. Do you have to announce them every single week? If you hate your job that much, find another career.

Dear guy in the red Honda mini SUV thingy,

First, what the hell is that thing? It's too small to be an SUV, too tall to be a station wagon, and too Honda looking to be cool. Anyway, the important thing is, if you ever pull a stunt like that again I'll run you off the fucking road and break your neck. Seriously.

Yours truly,
Guy in the crappy Focus that you almost killed this morning. Twice.

[Chocolate Lover]

Dark, was it a Honda Fit? Looks like a squished up small SUV but compact car like also? My sister has one.

Dear Brother's Baby Momma,
I would appreciate if you wouldn't post your full address on your public FB profile. You also have half naked pics of my niece and your second child on there. Do I really have to explain to you how many sickos out there would use this information to show up at your house?

[KaraBoo]

Dear New Manager,

Yes, I am the administrative assistant for your department. Yes, I've been here since God before time. Yes, I know a lot about different processes that aren't technically in my job description because I've been in so many different departments over the years in this company.

However - that doesn't mean I know what to do when the network crashes and everyone loses their work not saved. No, I don't know what to do to correct the shortages in the cash drawers in the cafeteria because the network went down and you allowed everyone to use their payroll-deduction anyway but rung everyone up like they were paying cash. No, I can't do that huge, complicated copy project you hand me on Tuesday at 1pm and expect it to be ready at 7am Wednesday morning when the supplies needed aren't even on site.

No, I'm not superwoman. Just because I'm currently working 50+ hours a week due to staff shortages doesn't mean I enjoy being here at your becking call. No, I'm not capable of coming in on Sunday too, just because your pet project is begining on Monday and you can trust me not to screw it up.

Thank you,
Yours truly - Sick of this place

Dear Old Lady Who Shouldn't Be Driving -

Your light is red. Just because the little green arrow lights up for the left turn, doesn't mean you can go straight, your light is still red. And don't flip me off because you're the moron who was trying to go straight while I was turning. I had right of way and I will continue to honk my horn to make everyone aware of your bad driving habits. Moron.

[Mad Dawg Wiccan]

To Self;

Be glad you're not on FB.
