It’s that time again. Actually, it’s way past time for a good old fashioned rant. Nothing gets it off your chest better than some good old fashioned passive aggressive letters. After all, it’s cheaper than therapy and less fattening than chocolate.
Dear Grocery Clerk,
I fully understand that you have switched to “bring your own bags” at this great grocery giant. I love the environment. I have no problem with the new policy of charging for plastic. I even bought my reusable bags a long long time ago, I even remember to bring them with me once in a while. But here’s a little tip. Just because those industrial strength bags and nifty grocery bins we can purchase can hold 50lbs of groceries each…DOESN’T MEAN I CAN LIFT THEM!! Ease up.
Dear Fellow Driver,
Tinted windows do not make you invisible. I can still see you picking your nose. (and so can everyone else) Stop acting like a rolled up window is a shield of invisibly and grab a freaking kleenex. You are distracting not to mention all kinds of gross.
Dear Gas Station Attendant,
On the very rare occasion that I can actually find a full serve gas station I actually giggle with glee. I miss your full serve awesomeness and don’t mind occasionally paying a premium to avoid the wind, the rain and of course the I stinky gassy smell that stays on your hands for hours. However, when you fill up my car and proceed to spill that liquid gold down the side of my brand new vehicle, it makes me kind of stabby. At least take a moment to say “sorry”. It’s the Canadian thing to do. The wipe that mess up so I can get on with my day.
Dear Pedestrian,
Oh excuse me. No wait. Excuse you!! Did you just walk right into me after narrowly missing the pole? That’s because you haven’t looked up from your smart phone in at least 10 blocks. Get your head out of your ass…er I mean phone and look up. There’s a big beautiful world out there and you’re missing it.
Signed as always
With love (and sarcasm)
Me XOXO

This is another great post and I wish I could be passive aggressive like you but for the most part when someone pisses me off I have to say something or I can feel my blood pressure rise and then I end up stewing and I can’t have that.
Elizabeth Vlug says
LOL, I find myself ranting more and more. My rant is when the grocery clerk hands me my change (bills and lots of coins) all balanced on my store bill when they see I only have one hand free. What???? And don’t get me started on people that walk 4 abreast on a sidewalk and make no attempt to let you squeeze by. lol. I must be getting old and cranky.
Melinda Jana says
omg the pedestrians!!! seriously, plus do not jump out of nowhere at the LAST POSSIBLE SECOND and think that I can swerve away from you during heavy traffic hoping to not cause major accident, while you are clueless on your phone doing god knows what
Cheryl H says
Omg these are amazing. Have to add in to those who use their phone in drive, it’s not that important put down your damn phone
Stephanie LaPlante says
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could actually mail the rant letters?
Elizabeth Matthiesen says
I really enjoyed this blog post, it was fun to read and I hope that now you are feeling a bit calmer. 🙂 You just have to wonder about some people, it’s a never ending puzzle sometimes.

Judy Cowan says
People walking and staring at their phone irks me so much, lost count how many time people have walked in front of me.
Kristi F says
I tend to be a ranter as well haha! I figure it’s not our fault if some people are inconsiderate.
Carrie says
HA! And can we talk about the guy waiting in front of me at the grocery store who forgot? chooses not to wear deodorant? Please people, freshen up before you leave the house. so yuck.
Amy Heffernan says
hahah I like these. Speak the truth! SO funny when your driving and see someone picking their nose. LOL
Claudya says
Ha! People really do seem to think their car windows are an invisibility shield, right?
Clair Palmer says

loucheryl says
