Dear Mr. Phone Repair Man

Could you please use your “quiet” voice while repairing our phone line?

Nap time is holy.

Cordially,
Kat

I never took you for the passive-aggresive type…

Let’s take a ride on Mr. Trolley Car into Imagination-Land and see what might have prompted this blog…

[Stomp, stomp, stomp]
“OKAY, MA’AM, THAT ABOUT OUGHT TO DO IT.  PHONE LINE’S ALL FIXED UP NOW...YOU WANT ME TO RING THE PHONE TO MAKE SURE IT’S OKAY?!?
....DO YOU HAVE A BATHROOM I COULD USE???”

P.S.  “COULD I HAVE A GLASS OF WATER????”

Ha!

Can I borrow your letter (with a few minor changes) and give it to my mailman who likes to drive into my driveway HONKING HIS HORN until I come out whenever he has a package to deliver?  Because it always seems to happen during nap time. 

Deemus,
I’m usually just aggressive.

Jeff,
Has he fixed your phone line too?!

Lisa H,
You MUST be kidding. He should NOT be pulling into your driveway and honking his horn! He needs to get out of his little truck and walk it to your door.

Here’s a letter for him:

Dear Mr. Mailman,
Sorry about the nails in my driveway.

Sincerely,
Lisa

Seriously, my dad works for the postal service and he’d have a fit if he knew a carrier was making a customer COME to the truck to get their package. So wrong.

Try my letter. It might help.

Seriously--I often laugh out loud when I’m reading your blog.  Just thought you should know. 

Aw, thanks Lisa. I’m glad.

Actually, Kat and Lisa, I was thinking along the lines of caltrops in the driveway.  Honking the horn for you to come’n get it - no way!
