Dear Solicitor,
See that sign on my door that says “No Soliciting”. That means please don’t knock on my door to tell me about your wonderful services, try and sell me something, or approach me with any kind of wheelin and dealin. Unless you’re a Girl Guide peddling your wares, I don’t want any. Don’t be giving me a dirty look when I tell you “No Thank You“.

Dear Manicurist,
When you are filing away at my nails and then make a big slip with your super sharp tools, please acknowledge the fact that you have indeed CUT me. It may just be a small cut, but it stings like a son of a gun. Please note that when it requires you to stop the bleeding, it also requires an apology!!

Dear Cineplex Odeon,
Are you aware that it costs $10.00 per ticket to get into your shows? Do you know that just one large tub of popcorn is $5.99 the optional (HA HA) butter is another $1.00. It cost us almost $80.00 for the four of us to go to the movies yesterday. That’s OK, I was prepared for the price, what I was not prepared for, was the little guy behind the counter telling me they could not take a hundred dollar bill without the approval of a manager? They normally do not accept hundreds? You know what? If it is going to cost me an entire weeks grocery money to take my family to the movies, someone had better be standing there ready to take my money! When did the $100.00 bill become a useless currency in this country. Please take 5 minutes to train your staff on how to spot fake currency for all size bills.

Late for the Movie
Dear EBay Seller
The 2 shirts I purchased for my girls are really cute. They are going to love them. I didn’t understand why you couldn’t combine shipping and send them together, but okay, I paid the two shipping charges for the items I purchased 2 minutes apart and paid for on the same invoice. I questioned you, but you were adamant it had to be done this way because I was “way up in Canada”.
Now that the items have arrived, I am once again disappointed in humanity. You sent the cute shirts in the same box. You clearly paid one shipping charge, bought one box, and put the second $13.00 shipping charge in your pocket. Shame on you.
Signed
Won’t be buying from you again.
Buckeroomama says
Oh, definitely leave a negative feedback for that eBay seller. If she insisted on charging you separate shipping, then she should’ve shipped those two shirts separately. Or she should’ve at least have found some way to give you credit back for the additional shipping you paid.
Courtney Kirkland says
wow…that ebay seller was kinda RUDE. I would definitely make sure I posted that in the little feedback area of their profile. And I totally agree with the outrageous movie prices. It’s a good $40 for hubby and I to go on our own. I can’t imagine having kids to take too.
Theta Mom says
Totally give that seller a bad review. That was lame and I know what you mean about the hand slip and cutting me! So true!!!
Fanboy Wife says
I’ve only seen one movie in a theater in the last year because of the outrageous costs. It was a matinee and still cost a small fortune… but I usually sneak in my own candy.
Secretia says
The prices they stick us with, and the service we pay for, they never match hardly any more.

The Wife says
How rude of the double shipping lady. I was leave a comment on her ebay membership thing! And yes, when they cut you, they never say sorry! Oh I love this post!
Nancy@ifevolutionworks.com says
I cheat with the movie thing. I hit CVS for candy and bring it to the movies; Shhhhhhh.
armyblond says
Wow, I have to (shamefully) admit, that I too have been that ebay seller. I’m sorry if I want to make a few extra bucks to cover the selling fees. After all, you may be buying the product for 1/3 of what I paid for it!
But I do apologize 🙁
rachel... says
I’d have to sell one of my kids on eBay in order to be able to afford to take the other ones to the movies. And I hope you gave that seller some negative feedback! That’s horrible!
Matty says
I know exactly how you feel about the costs of going to a movie. It’s ridiculous anymore.
I sure hope you let that eBay seller know what you think about their tactics and that you’re not doing business with them anymore. That’s awful. I would report this on their feedback site and let eBay know about it too.
Julie says
Oh, I’d be pissed at that eBay seller and file a complaint!
Marbella Jewelry Designs says
going to the movies is crazy expensive, but thankfully we don’t have to pay for the fake butter.
you should definitely report the ebay seller, that’s just greedy!
Margaret says
I don’t even go to movies anymore because they cost so much and people working there are rude
Lee the Hot Flash Queen says
A seller did that to you?? How incredibly RUDE! I sell on eBay and wouldn’t do that. You should seriously report her.
Mass Hole Mommy says
Holy crackers! They charge you for butter on your popcorn? That’s outrageous (and doesn’t happen…yet….around here)!
