Lisa- I actually agree with you to a point. While it being a letter is not too bad, this woman probably does this to the bank teller, her doctor's receptionist, her husband.

I worked my way through college at Lowe's and was amazed how rude people will be to complete strangers. On more than one occassion when they were unhappy with the policies (I worked returns and then worse was a front end manager) they called me stupid, a b*tch, one called me ugly, one told me with my brains it was no wonder I was in retail. I actually have training in mediation and conflict resolution so my managers usually gave glowing reviews of my handling of such situations. Now in my current job there is a lot of phone time, I get it some days from people we have a business relationship with!

While I don't enjoy my period and do not feel all sunshine and happy like those commercials would suggest, I am not homicidal or outwardly angry at the world. And prior to BC I had periods that would get me in so much pain and nauseated that I skipped classes I needed to be in or thoroughly enjoyed. I know bad periods but violence to others or myself has never been triggered by those awful periods. I may be a little less patient (especially with poor DH), I may bemoan being a woman that day but I still am capable of acting like a mature person.
