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“.

Good Thing You Didn’t Know What I Was Thinking! Get Off My Lawn, Do I Bother You When You are Eating Dinner With Your Family?
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.

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.

Won’t be buying from you again.
thank you for taking the time to write this post because it’s what i want to say almost every day to numerous people… but i never do. so thank you š
WOW!
It sounds like you are having a hard time with things.
I try not to go to the regular movies anymore, I go to a Cinema Grill where I can buy dinner. Still expensive, but I at least feel I got something out of the outrageous prices!
OMGoodness, you can get dispute and get a refund from the credit card company for those bogus shipping charges and report her to ebay. That is outright theft.
i will always love these letter.. awesome!!
oh man that Ebay seller – I hope you gave her a bad rating!
I know people who would be glad to “take out” that seller for you.
Oh I hate people coming to my door trying to sell stuff. Even worse when they call!
I hear you on the ebay rip offs. So many sellers on their bulk up their profits by overcharging on the shipping!
I agree…report the seller – now that leaving bad juju in the comments section no longer count for peanuts! And tell us all who it was – so we don’t buy from that person!

Come on by, stay for a while and leave a comment or two!
Hello….nice to meet you. I’m so glad you stopped by yesterday to introduce yourself in my comments. And boy howdy, may I add that this blog entry really hit the spot for me this morning. ALL of ’em!!! You’re so right on!!!! Truly. I swear, I stopped buying through ebay because of the very same you posted about. They try to pocket every little bit possible, and it’s not worth it to the consumer…..hence, I pay the little state tax buying at retail stores instead of the exorbitant cost of shipping through ebay sellers!!
Loved this post can you tell? I ranted a bit on my post this morning so, your post just put the butter on top of my popcorn!!!!
I’m going to follow you and your blog if you don’t mind……..
Kudos to you for getting the whole family to the movies. With just two of us we only make it about twice a year. It’s CRAZY expensive. But, at least we don’t have to pay extra for our fake butter!
THEY CHARGED YOU FOR BUTTER?!?@#!@#?@#@#$
What!? They charge you for the popcorn butter? That is insane. Next time take some melted butter in a ziploc bag, say no thanks, then pour the butter on the popcorn yourself!
There has GOT to be some way to support that …..you know, and possibly get that money back. That is ridiculous.
I would be leaving that eBayer bad feedback.
ewww…I hope you left that comment on the ebayers feedback.
Going to movies these days is such a luxury…I feel like I need to sell an organ first. What irks me, is getting in there and sitting next to some silly movie ‘talkers’!!!
Love it when you get this stuff off your chest!
