PUT SOME MONEY IN THEM! This drives me nuts! How many times have you got a card in the mail from someone who really you don't care got you the card. I'm talking about not-really-friends and those long lost relatives who just have some standard way of sending them out to everyone in their little rolodex just because they feel like it's a nice thing to do.
To those people... you never try to get ahold of me, so sending a card once every couple years is your way of "keeping in touch"? Get real. Matter of fact, I believe the same boring card I received was probably the same card you bulk ordered and sent to everyone else. If you're going to make me spend 10 minutes opening the envelope that is covered with tape and stickers, then send some money in it like I mentioned to pay me for my time.. after all, writing your name in a blank card is no better than sending a blank card. Here's a couple ideas... next time, go get unique get well cards that aren't bought in bulk. It's not like there are shortages of places to find them. Hell, even go as far as to spend an extra minute pretending like you care by getting a funny one.
Which reminds me. It's almost your birthday. I think I might go take a quick little peek over at the rude & insulting cards section or maybe the nasty greeting cards. All I'm really asking for here is a little less junk to deal with. You send me crap in my email box that I delete, but sending a crappy card that takes real effort to open and read makes me want 10 minutes of my life back.
10 minutes plus $$$.
