Dear Snow Plow Driver,

I know you're really busy and probably exhausted but could you PLEASE stop piling all the snow from the street into the parking space next to my truck...I can't even get to the door to move it out of the way.

Frozenly yours,

Dear staff of our employee services (human resources) department:

When I told you in June last year that my husband had quit his job and no longer had any benefits, I can understand that it was up to me to change my flex benefits plan online. I did that as soon as his coverage was over.

However, when I told you that he didn't have coverage anymore, you could have automatically made the change in my extended medical coverage so that when he went to pick up the first prescription he needed the coverage would have been in place.

And when it wasn't, several months ago, and I asked you to make that change which I thought you would have done automatically, did it not occur to you to check to see if you had changed my medical coverage?

Funny thing is, those medical guys send bills that are not allowed to be forwarded so that now, 8 months later, the bill is a warning that we'll be sent to a collection agency for monies that my employment contract say that you should be paying.

When I told you that he had quit his job and had no coverage, what did you think I meant?

No hugs or butterflies for you ladies, but I sure hope you can figure out a system so that nobody else has to deal with this!

Dear overweight fitness center attendant,
Perhaps, if you place a covered bike rack out side of your fitness center, I would not ask you to move some of the old wrestling mats and boxing bags that lie at every hallway exit blocking the doors, because you will not allow me to bring my bike inside because, it is unsecured personal property and oh a "fire hazard" in the corner, that all 6 people who are in the gym might run for the same door; then I would happily lock my bike up outside and I might use your facility more and you won't have to cut your hours for lack of use. Oh, Then you wouldn't suggest driving my car like you do" who is 50 lbs overweight". But, guess it is not worth argueing over.

Dear Biker Goddess/Powers That Be/God/Lucky Leprechan/Whoever can help the hopeless:

Pleaseeeeeeee don't let me flunk out of cycling class this weekend - please grant me the natural skills needed and confidence to know I have them so that I might pass the course with flying colors and get my learners permit and ultimately my mororcycle license so I don't have to ride b***h anymore and make my DH proud.

(I'll ask for guidance to a really cool bike once the above is obtained and I have proven to be a competent rider).

thank you.

Dear Cash Posting Unit:

I submit electronic payment files daily, and provide you with a complete report to reconcile these payments, again, daily. Why do you wait two months to inform me that you are missing something? Do you think I just pull these things out of my a$$?

Dear clients,
Please, just wait ONE day between when you're *going* to complain about not getting your 1099s and when you actually *do* complain. *I* do not send them out. My *manager* does not send them out. They are sent from Kansas. I am unbelievably sick of you people freaking out that you're not getting your damm 1099s only to call back the next day to inform me that oh, yes, you just got it, after I just went through a boatload of crap with our home office to get you a 2nd copy. IT MAKES ARYN GRR SMASHY. It makes her want to *backhand* you. ESPECIALLY when you KNOW you're the umpteenth person to call on it *that day* and then are totally half-@ssed about your appology. Either apologize or don't. If you don't, I don't care. Just a business transaction. When you do, it restores my faith in humanity. BUT when you do, insincerely, it makes me want to shred your documents, put them in a pretty envelope and send them to you that way. Jerks.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Dear Physical Therapy People:

Last week you told me I am going to need a new left hip in the very near future. Today my elderly mother comes to take me in for my PT, because she has a dream that one day I will no longer be handicapped. WELL, THE LEAST YOU COULD DO WOULD BE TO PUT DOWN SOME GD ROCK SALT ON THE ICE WE GOT. What do you want me to get my new hip sooner than later
AND, I feel like my complaint fell on deaf ears...I hope someone sues your pants off!!!!!!!

Dear Women's Clothing Designers:

Please remember that the baby boomers don't have ultra flat stomachs and don't really like to have pants, short, skirts hit their tummies right at the largest part. I'm tired of wearing my panty hose up around my waist and then having my pants ride down below that. Grrrrrrrr.....

Dear Giant-Department-Store Clerk,

Please understand that the first time I said I didn't want a bag for my purchase (a single t-shirt), I meant that I did not want a bag.

Please understand that the second time I said I didn't want a bag... even though you laughed and said I would look silly walking across the parking lot without a bag... I meant that I did NOT want a bag.

Please understand that the reason I left the bag on the chair just inside the door, even though I knew you (and two other clerks) were staring at me in disbelief was that I DID NOT WANT A BAG!

Geesh.

Dear little sister-
I can't tell you, without sounding like a total sap, how proud I am that you're coming into your own and being a strong young woman, making good decisions and doing well in school.

Keep being who you are, and you'll find someone proper to spend SAABJ Day with someone who is deserving and will appreciate you for the kickazz, savvy mechanic chick you are.

I'll have to let the little things suffice, posting pics of us as kids- remember how hot those polyester softball uniforms were??!- and sending you notes now and again. As embarrassed as I was that you tackled me when I came off the plane in WI, I wouldn't trade that experience for anything in the world. The airport security all took a collective sh!t because of you. They needed it. I needed it, too.

Thank you for telling our parents that it was okay with you that I had a girlfriend when I first had a human companion to go along with my feelings. I think it made all the difference in their reaction.

You don't always need to be so dark, you have a pretty smile- You don't need to be so quiet, you always have interesting things to say. You don't need to laugh off your close connections to the past- you have been, in many ways, the closest tie I've ever had to memories that get folded under the turbulence of everyday life.

They say you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends' noses... ...no. no, that wasn't it. You can't pick your family? Something like that. Anyway, I'd pick you anyway. I would maybe even pick your nose.

Loveya, sis. Have fun laughing at the guys who weren't good enough to spend SAABJ day with you this year.

Dear Supermarket bagger of highschool age
I know it is really hard to understand, but the reason I arrived with my stuff in the brown paper bag was so that I didn't have to take a plastic bag.
When I then explained to you that I wanted it all in 1 bag, so you emptied my brown bag and one of the plastic bags and stuck it all in one plastic bag, except for my parsnips which did not make it into ANY bag. So when I was driving out and you stopped me, thanks for giving me the parsnips in the second plastic bag...
(pulling out hair now)

don't they get it??
