I ususally find these kind of polls sickly sweet in an overly emoticoned email kinda way
but I did think of something that recently annoyed the crap out of me.
My sister, who has made it her personal mission to become our families own pre-bust Martha Stewart, really outdid herself with the christmas cards this year. I received one that had a printed out mailing label, a copied picture of her two kids (and no adults) on the cover, and a stanrda "thinking of you during this time" type bullshit sentiment, and it was (not) signed by "sister, husband, baby one and baby two". all in computer print, no handwriting, nothing personal.
Is this not the tackiest thing ever? If you can't personalize a "thinking of you" type sentiment, then arent you really just sending out a mass mail advertising what your two lovely children now look like?
And dont get me started on the concept of a five week old wishing me a happy holiday. I would love to tell her how tacky this is but she is always right, so I wouldnt bother. I might ask to be taken off the mailing list.
Which reminds me that I recently received an email from someoen who mass emailed em's friends to tell em when their birthday is so em could enter them into em's "birthday alarm". I know the exact date of em's birthday but whateve. Isn't it wrong to ask someone to tell you their birthday so you can wish them happy birhtday timely next year?
