You are here

Open letters

Seeing as we've got confessions and problems and issues springing up in threads all over the shop, I thought it might be interesting to have an open letter thread. Cathartic, perhaps. From your mother ruining your wedding, to your boyfriend who can't stop peeing on the toilet seat, or even that guy on the bus who kept making that annoying noise with his mouth, get it out here.

I'll get the ball rolling.

To my dear darling boyfriend,

Just because you are technically 'clean' when you come out the shower, it doesn't mean that I am okay with using the same towel you've been rubbing all over yourself for a month. I know you have others. I bought you two myself. Drag them out from the murky depths of the laundry basket, wash them and allow me the temporary use of a clean one.

Love, Cat

Also, every Aldi's I've ever been to had this deal with their carts....each cart had a chain with a sort of key on the end of it, and a keyhole thingy next to that. One cart was plugged into the one in front of it by the key/keyhole, and you had to put a quarter into a slot by the chain to "unplug" the cart. Then when you returned the cart, plugged it back in, you got your quarter back.

Yep, Aldi is good. I can't believe you hadn't encountered the trolley thing though! We get that quite a lot in the UK and often on the continent too :)

All over Spain. It forces people to take the cart back to the stand instead of leaving it wherever they like, or making off with the cart (people did). You have to have a 1 Euro coin to release them, which most people are unwilling to lose. Whenever I find one loose without a coin, I always leave it loose when I'm done, for the next poor sock who doesn't have the right change.

I used to go to Aldi when I went to school in Indiana.  It was fun getting such cheap stuff!

I was just in Spain in May and I saw all the carts where you have to put the coin in.  I never bought enough groceries while I was there that I had to use one of the carts, but I did get to use the basket carts! I was so excited that they baskets had long handles and wheels so that you could pull them around the store.  I wondered why we didn't have them in the stores back home and I made a mental note that I would have to suggest it to the supermarket I go to.  Then I got back to the U.S. and I went grocery shopping and the store had the baskets that you can pull along!! I guess it's just a new thing everywhere.  I love it :)

Except if you forget to look down and keep tripping over everyone's little basket cart...which I do...and the kids using them as little wagons to play with and blocking the aisles.

One of my friends has 2 under-5 kids and she gets mad because sometimes I bump into them at church. Well, I'm sorry...they are the only kids there and I'm not used to looking at that height for a passing person!

I am small, but I am FIERCE, woman.  And quick too.  You won't even KNOW what happened.
And before you know it, I'll be baking cookies with secondbase's vanilla extract.
Oh yeah.

Well, for one, I never said I'd mud wrestle. And 2, I live about 5 hours away from him, so I'd rather just drive to him (and go get margaritas with agave at La Pinata!!) and pay him for it. Fighting... so not worth my time.

Fine.  FINE. 

I'm upping the stakes.  Fight to the DEATH.  For secondbase the PERSON.

Who's up for it?
