Does anybody else need to air your frustrations? Put them here!

Dear Property Manager for FIL's rent house,

WTF is wrong with your lawn maintenance team that they can't mow the whole f-ing lawn. Just because Grandpa's mailbox is at the street in front of your lawn does not mean your front yard ends at his mailbox. (He has no lawn, his house is attached to the back of their's) It is ridiculous that someone is that lazy that they leave a 10 x 10 foot ridiculous looking triangle of unmown grass on what is clearly the front yard for that house every time, it has driveways on either side to provide convenient boundaries. Please don't make me have to drag a 95 year old man off of a lawnmower again because he's trying to mow your f-ing grass.

Sincerely,
Frustrated neighbor who is sick of looking at your unkempt yard

P.S. If you're trying to rent a house to somebody, you might try hauling off the trash from the driveway and making sure the front yard looks nice... maybe?

Mine needs a TW regarding an impending death in the family.





Dear FIL:

It is your job to keep us up to date on your brother's health. I know that it is hard for you, because hospice has said that he has only days to live and that it could be any day. HOWEVER, you do not text that to your son, by the way, only 1 of your sons, and not his twin, and then not call to check in or anything else at all. You don't go over there to visit every single day during this time, and not ask if DH would like to go to. You do not leave it up to MIL to tell us, because she is so full of shit that we don't usually believe what she says because she is a know liar and exaggerator.

I am sorry for your impending loss, but it is our loss too. We are all struggling this one because your brother is wonderful. So don't shut us out in the cold and leave us wondering what is happening. Especially after the year DH and I have had with losing my mother, please, try to be considerate. We are EXTREMELY frustrated with how you and MIL have been treating us, but DH most like wont really broach the issue too much because he is trying to be respectful of your loss. But please, fucking get it together and treat us like the adults that we are.

Sincerely, the DIL who could really live the rest of my life without interacting with you, and especially MIL, but I am stuck with you, so lets get it the fuck together.

To My Husband,

Stop getting sick. No, for real. You used to be famous for getting sick once a year and now that we have kids it's, like, 6-8 times a year. Super annoying.

Yes I know kids bring home germs... but then why am I not getting debilitatingly sick that often?! I AM ALWAYS COVERED IN THEIR BODILY FLUIDS.

Fondly, most of the time,

Your Wife.

Omg OR. Same here.

Dove Minis, why are you so DAMN GOOD.

Dear my iPhone,

's is a thing. It usually denotes a possessive, or a contraction with the word is.

'a is not a thing. Please stop autocorrecting my 's, which is a thing, with 'a, which is not a thing.

It'a really annoying,
Teej

Dear work,

Please set a date for closing (renovations) so your employees can make plans.....and so some of us know how much longer we have to work with Nincompoop since you can't be bothered with firing him.

Dear coffee and 615 am silence.

Thank you for being the best part of my day and for being warm sweet goodness.

All my love.

Dear Snot. Go away. Winter is over. Much thanks, Maple.

Dear kid-

The attitude needs to go. The yelling. The hitting. The flopping on the ground like you are 2. Also. You aren't a baby. Get over it and deal.

Seriously, not cute.
Mom

Dear ovenrack

Why did you show me those? Now I must go hunt down a box, because those look amazing.

No love,

Dear Nugget,

I know we're night weaning, but can't you wait a little longer to decide not to nurse when I get home from work? My boobs are killing me because I haven't nursed since the night before, and I'm not ready mentally or physically to cut down that fast. Also, acting like you want to nurse and then fake opening your mouth in front of my nipple and then grinning at me like it's a funny joke is driving me nuts!

Dear Potential Employee,

When turning in your application, do not tell people that when you were fired from your previous job at a competitor you took a thumb drive with all of their customer info and trade secrets. Do not offer the thumb drive up to the new company as if it is incentive to hire you.

Sincerely,

Wow. Out of curiousity, is this something you would contact their previous employer about?

It's something I considered, but I know this person from outside of a work capacity and I know the intention was just sheer stupidity and not malice. We told her not only is that illegal but it's totally unethical and we don't work that way. It was recommended that she destroy the thumb drive and hope she doesn't go to jail.

Did not get the job, in case you were wondering
