Open Letters: Dear... - Page 4

To the person that doesn't know how to park:

Thank you for parking your compact car so close to my SUV. It seems the huge parking spot you picked was not wide enough for your little car. Also, thank you for parking as far right as possible.

Lets not forget the fact that your passenger obviously opened the door and hit my car. I noticed because they kindly rubbed off the dirt from that part of my door so they could see just how lovely the ding looked when the sunlight hits it.

I really appreciate the fact that you left me just a few inches to squeeze my butt through so I could get in the drivers side. But it's ok... I hope you enjoy the ding I had to leave your car in return since my space for opening the door was severely limited due to your inability to park that shoe box!

Dear Ft Sam Houston:
Why do you have to differentiate yourself from other TRADOC posts? I GUESS I can understand why you would get rid of Drill Sergeants - having platoon sergeants makes things a little more 'realistic', but privates need to be manhandled and that's the bottom line. I can also understand, maybe, that you billet prior service soldiers with IET ones - yet you wonder why there are issues with fraternization? I can maybe understand why you put prior service on lockdown for a week or two, not letting them have any personal time, or restricting their cell phone use to one area downstairs. I don't really get why they can't go to the shopette to get laundry soap.
But what I really don't understand is...

Making NCO's walk around with battle buddies? Are you kidding me?????

Seriously, I have never heard of this happening before. These people have been in the Army for longer than a day...most of them have been to Iraq...and none of them are the misbehaving privates that you have to also deal with. Maybe if you spent more time worrying about the NEW soldiers and teaching them discipline, they wouldn't be such incorrigible fools that their permanent units will have to deal with. Maybe you should teach them that 'fall in' means at the position of attention and not parade rest. Maybe you should leave the NCO's alone and quit treating them like privates. They've already been there.

This whole 'kinder, gentler' Army thing is just not working out.

Why don't you wear a bra, at the very least-- and maybe even at some point wear appropriate office attire? Maybe if you treated your coworkers with respect and didn't flaunt yourself around the office, refusing to do the job you were hired for and whining about how no one likes you, people would take you more seriously. I wish we could fire you, but we can't, since there's no telling what you'll steal off OUR servers and sell on the open market to our competitiors.

Sincerely,
Someone who actually HAS integrity.

I can't believe someone would do this

Dear husband,
I love you. I should tell you even more than I already do. I like that we always act like we just started dating, even though that happened 4 years ago. I like how people tell us that the new feeling will go away...when that normally would have already happened. Yet, I like how people thought we were already married 4 years ago. I like that we defy all odds, and we define our own relationship. I like that we don't care what people say to us about how we will act and how things will go and change.

Thanks for loving me more and more every day. You really do make this life so much better, I'm glad I get to walk down the life path with you, even when we are apart...it's impossible to feel lonely, because I know you're right here inside my heart. I love you. Thanks for being so great to me, even when I am being impossible.

Love,
wife

Aw Candace.....this made me weepy!!!!

rachieface · Mar 20th, 2008, 12:54 PM

Dear Mom,

You are my favorite person on the planet. You're my best friend. I love you beyond comprehension....but I may not like him! We're just going for coffee! Your dream of your daughter marrying a doctor may be squashed with something just as small as chewing with his mouth open or winking after every sentence! I might be high maintenance and enjoy expensive things but I am WAY more attracted to the Verizon guys working on the cable lines on the main road than a doctor, most days. This. Is. One. Date. Please stop pretending I am winning the lottery oh so soon.

Love,
Your daughter.

Dear Annoying Co Worker,
Please stop talking to me when I'm in the bathroom stall and then getting upset when I give short replies to your silly questions. I realize you recognize me by my shoes, but I really don't feel like having a conversation when I'm trying to pee. Also, I really, really don't want to hear an in depth discussion about your dog's most recent enema.

Thanks,
Someone who likes to pee in silence.

OMG back when I worked there was a woman who would do that to me. It drove me INSANE. I wanted to blast a big fart while she was talking just to see what she'd do. Unfortunately, I cannot always fart on command.

If you don't mind...I'm going to send this to the 4 cats that allow me to share their home...is that ok?

Thanks!
