Welcome!

I'm often amazed and confused by the bizarre happenings behind the closed and competitive doors of the typical suburban home. The following is a place to share my thoughts and reflections on daily life as I try to navigate this crazy and wonderful world.

Passive Agressive Letters ....with Love


Dear Sir
If you do not have a handicapped sticker, get out of that spot.

Dear Madame
Are you aware that there are 15 cars piled up behind you trying to drop their children off to school? See all those signs that say no parking...drop off and pick up only. They actually mean..wait for it..NO PARKING..DROP OFF AND PICK UP ONLY.

Dear Weather Man
If you are unsure of the weather. If you don't know what it's going to do? How about trying honesty for a change! I would for once in my life love to see a meteorologist just say. Yeah, I don' have a clue what it's going to be like tomorrow! Sorry!

Dear Express-Line Cheater
Okay deary, it clearly says 8 items or less. Do you think the cashier can't count? 15 items is just rude.

Dear Door to Door Sales Guy
Yes the "No Soliciting" sign means you too.

Dear Teenage Driver from Hell
My babies live on this street. Slow Down!

Dear Cable Guy
Thanks for the window appointment you gave me. Love that you were scheduled to arrive between 12 and 6pm. I enjoy waiting around for 6 hours per day. Sadly I don't find you getting here at 6:02pm to be funny or amusing.

Dear Pool Guy
My eyes are up here!


Lots of love
ModernMom

I think I need to set aside one day per week to spend writing such letters to the people in my world.

Do we think it's an evil plot? Shouldn't we do something? It's just oh, so familiar :)

I so love when there's a major storm outside and it's pouring zebras and camels and the weather guy says 20% chance for rain on the radio. What a dummy!!

Ann said...

I TOTALLY get your "letters"!

Good job.

Thanks for being a part of the VGNO. I hope you met some wonderful bloggers this weekend :->

HEATHER said...

This is great! I used to wait on the local weatherman during lunch almost every day a few years ago, and every day my boss harassed him about the weather (he was never right). Needless to say he stopped visiting our restaurant, haha!

Melanie D said...

So funny.....yet so true!

Gena said...

Cute!

Suzanne said...

Wait...did you live my life last week? (Well, except for the pool guy. He's too busy checking out my daughters and for that, he WILL pay!!!:-)
Please write a book or script for a sitcom soon...it will be a huge hit!:-)
