Here I Am

Um, yah. I think I owe you all a post. Or three.

You know when your parents or teacher told you that There are no stupid questions?
They lied.
When you’re a customer emailing me an order… it would be a great idea to have your company name in your signature line. Especially if you’re a new contact, and have never emailed me before. Yep, that would be helpful.
And, most (if not all) states have 10 digit phone numbers now – use all 10 digits please! If your state still only uses 7 digits, wow. For future reference, though – either way… use all 10. It’s also helpful in figuring out who you are… just in case you forget to include your company name in your email.
Morons.

I hate that couponing has gotten so popular.
About 6 years ago, when SB and I lived in Tennessee… we received the paper every Sunday, and always clipped out coupons for things we would use. Our friends pretty much laughed at us… because we were so young, and so interested in saving any money we could.
And now, we still clip coupons sometimes… but now it’s so freaking popular. It’s annoying. But I do love that we were ‘cool’ before cool was cool.

I hate the word ‘bestie.’ You sound like an idiot.
Seriously, it’s worse than B-F-F … which oddly has made a comeback recently. Whatever just happened to calling someone your best friend?
It ranks up there with referring to your husband as “your boo.” Really?!

I hate that running marathons is trendy – or something.
You’ll see me running when someone is chasing me. With a knife.
I hate those stupid stickers on the back of cars – 13.1 and 26.2 - who cares? Oooh and a 5K – why are we using kilometers? Why not miles – this is America, after all?

Okay. I promise I’ll be nicer next time… I do have some nicer ideas in my head, which I hope to have up soon… but for now, it’s just quicker (and easier) to write hates.
