Dearest Dear Husband: Please ask the NEW doctor to check your hearing. You are 68 years old Both of your brothers wear hearing aids Wouldn't it make life easier for you? Signed, Your wife who is tired of repeating things It took my mom many years to get my dad to get hearing aids. It did not matter to him that his brothers had them. HE did not need them. He would tell her to speak up and when she did, he told her to stop yelling at him.

Dear "K" -- OMG, not again. Not more family drama that will keep you out of work for months. (Note of warning to my fellow EE'ers -- I will probably sound like a heartless bitch from this point forward). You cannot control what your family does. If your drug-using brother decides to throw himself a pity party because another brother (who is recovering successfully from drug use) won't answer drug bro's calls, then drug bro is responsible for what's next. And because what's next turned out to be a meal of Xanax and vodka, now your whole family is at the hospital, stuck in the ER waiting room because you're not allowed in due to COVID-19 protocols. Drug bro made a decision to hurt himself and all of you. This is toxic for everyone. Your job is to protect yourself and your family. You can love your brother without the enabling of his habit. Do what you need to do to remain away from getting sucked into this. You mentioned that drug bro has a fiancee who may have been supplying him with drugs? Run from both of them. Seriously, it isn't easy to toxic family. But you did not pick these people as your relations. And toxic is contagious.

Dear TD Bank rep, Why did you leave a message saying I should call between 8am and 6pm, because when I called at 5:29pm, the automated system said your department was closed and normal hours are between 9am and 5pm? Signed, Annoyed

I am surprised. I usually suggest to H. to take food for a stay from what we have at home. It's usually No, no, no. We'll buy it there.
Now. He's packing food.

Dear Target:
I am NOT amused. Your sign said if you buy 2 boxes of a certain brand of garbage bags for $9.99, you get a $5 gift card. So, why is the entire display filled with garbage bags for $10.99 a box? No sale.
Signed, You don't play games with me if you want me to spend money with your company

Dear SIL, You are officially dead to me. We were not inviting you to Thanksgiving, but that was due to your vicious, nasty politics. This is different. FWIW, the kid is charged with burglary, which is a felony criminal offense. However, he was not charged as an adult. Which means, hell no, I don't care how mad you are. You cannot post his photo and name out of spite and vindictiveness, and claim on FB "Well, I would do the same if he were my kid." First of all, you were not a victim of his crime. Not that it matters, really. Second, he has parents, grandparents, siblings and now you have victimized all of them. They are not charged with any crimes. But your judgemental zeal has made them targets. Seriously, who the %$#@!! died and left you in charge You mistreat your own kids, so maybe this should not surprise me. I hope the kid's family gets an attorney and sues you big time. And BTW, your post can be traced back to you. After all, you post on FB under your real name. Which should now be changed to Mother Asshole of the Year.

Dear sister,
While I appreciated the birthday post on FB, did you really have to use a picture from dad's funeral? I look like hell, which is how I felt. There are definitely better pictures of the two of us.

Dear Co-worker,
Since we were told to drop everything and go home effective immeadiately last Thursday I did not consider it unreasonable to talk to you in person to make sure that I gave you everything that I was supposed to before I was rushed out the door to quarantine.
Instead you got snooty with me over that stupid spreadsheet. So fine I won't talk to you anymore period. I will only communicate with the spreadsheet.
Signed, An adult getting real tired of being treated like a toddler around here.

Dear Husband
I realize that your daughter is the Perfect Princess
She's 40 years old and has never held a job
Yes, her older daughter is handicapped but there are options available
And since COVID and distance learning, she actually has to check homework??
Tee hee

House, I know you are getting petty with me. Did you really have to make me call a garage door company to get you looked at? I can't wait to find out what the total will be. Less than 10 days and the new owner can deal with your pettiness. Though I am trying my best to turn your over in good condition.

flan327 - Good on you for realizing that is OK to take a break from needy/demanding people. Emotional vampires can drain the energy right out of a person. Especially if they just gripe and complain and refuse to do anything for themselves. Sending you a virtual fist bump in case you need it.

I get tired of one of my friends on a regular basis. Since she doesn't seem to know how to call me, I stop calling her when I can't take her any longer. Eventually I get over it and call her. When she p*sses me off again, I stop calling.

Less than 10 days and the new owner can deal with your pettiness. Though I am trying my best to turn your over in good condition. Sometimes it feels like this. Its possible all the people who looked at your house stressed that garage door enough that you needed to make that call. Potential buyers broke one of my toilets because of too strong use of the handle. In much lesser concerns, the screw holding connecting one end of my purse strap decided to disconnect entirely so I only had a handle attached on one side. I tried getting it in myself but I think I need the store to use their special tools. I bought a strap not made for that purse and it had special rings added which I took off tonight. Probably will attach one of the original straps to it tonight, even though it looks good as a clutch.

I know this is months late, but did they modify their hours due to Covid? Maybe the guy slipped up and told you the old hours. Still annoying, but hopefully less so.

Can't find the job search thread. Dear anonymous work did finally make me FT officially earlier this year. Hope that means I have been paying less for my healthcare benefits. Got official confirmation today. Not when it happened months ago, but today when I pressed the issue.

Dear Co worker, Glad your vacation was great. The pictures of you in the pool holding some Coronas was great. Great also, that you will be okay after testing positive a few days after return.
Thanks also, for spreading possibly (although masked) to your co worker (hey fun, another case). who is the president of the company's son. President of the company is very hands on...so guess what? Huh? Half of the building working from home. The other half, well, um, "you can" work from home but.....
I can't put it on you, but, damn it.
Damn it for, yeah, NOT going to see family (to err on the side of caution) DID NOT even get to socially distance with a friend for her Birthday today. Called Doctor's office today and put off YES, my wellness visit. (I have a reschedule, but, now really don't feel comfortable even taking the chance)
Just thanks.

Your coworker must have the same stupid genes as my coworker -- went on a cruise during the pandemic, just before we were all sent home to work from home by order of the governor. I told the company owner if he let this moron back into the office, I'd beat the selfish little bastard, then toss his broken body over the third-story catwalk of the building and wait to hear the SPLAT. People are so far past selfish at this point, you want to grab them by the scruff of the neck and rub their noses in their perceived "rights and freedoms." Then make them either dig graves for COVID-19 deceased or clean hospital wards. Whatever it takes to get the damned point across.

House --
My wish is that you enjoy your new owner and you both have a great time getting to know each other. I am sure that you will end up with some type of facelift in the future.
Be well.
Snap~
