An Open Letter.....
This is an open letter to Mr and Mrs. Cranky.
I see them often this time of year and I'd like to tell them to please take a flying leap. Please go home and don't come out until you can control your attitude.
No one wants to tell you but you just make yourself look like an ass when you do the following things....
1) Be mad at a line up at a store. You groan, growl or make under the breath comments about the line, and stare daggers at the check out person. (My personal favorite is if the till tape runs out when it's your turn. LOOK OUT!)
2) Give me the finger when I don't move out of a parking spot at the post office.
3) Yell at the post office ladies about not taking your flyers and then proceed to throw them on the floor or in an empty shopping cart outside. Nice.
4) Roll your eyes at the Starbucks manager when she politely tells you that there has been such high demand they are out of White Mocha sauce but they are hoping for a delivery later in the day.
5) Be pissy when someone says Merry Christmas to you at the Salvation Army Christmas Kettle.
6) Yell at the lady at Mark's Work Warehouse when your 'regular' size of pants doesn't fit....and make a comment about their sizing....oh yeah, it couldn't POSSIBLY be what you're eating??
7) Stomp around Zellers in the later half of December when they don't have anymore size 3 boots. It's December. Up North. Plan ahead!
8) Grumble about the price of shipping at the post office when you have to send something express post because you didn't get your act together and send it in early December. Yes, that is totally the fault of Canada Post.
9) Make a scene at Schimmils (a bakery in town) when you go in at the end of the day and they dared...and I mean DARED to sell all the cinnamon buns before YOU, Mr. and Mrs. Cranky got one. (PS....less baking may help you fit into those pants at Mark's Work Warehouse!!)
10) Complain about the cold. In Northern BC. Where you choose to live. Makes total sense.
Thank you for listening.
Merry Christmas.

a perfectly penned letter! I think mr and mrs cranky must have relatives who live in Ladysmith!
Yes...their family is quite large!
oooo...someone pee-ed in your cornflakes this season!! :P
I know what you mean. But forgive me if I get mad for getting a box of rotten oranges. THAT makes me Mrs. Cranky!
Merry Christmas!
I ALWAYS check my oranges.....
They were donated for the Santa pics at the mall. 4 boxes, 2 COMPLETLY rotten! So gross!
Aw, it's almost like a shout out b/c you mentioned Schimmel's.
I think you should put that in the newspaper. Really.
So true.
'Nuff said.
Okay I admit it I was the person pissy about no white mocha... Oh wait, that was in Medicine Hat. Mr. and Mrs. Cranky get around!
