How's THIS for form?
Come home from work to find a little envelope addressed "To Whom It May Concern" with our address -
AND I HAVE TO INTERRUPT, HERE. I CANNOT HANDLE THIS "AUSTRALIAN PRINCESS" SHIT. Honestly - are we that desperate for television?
*ahem*
Back to it. As I was saying - I came home from work to find a little envelope addressed "To Whom It May Concern" with our address on the front. Enclosed, was a little hand written letter about how annoyed our neighbour "Doris" is with the trees in our back yard. Honestly - it's one of the funniest things I've ever read. She's signed it:
"I remain,
yours faithfully"
It's so FORMAL. The whole letter is. Really - what IS it with old people? She lives next door. I've lived in this house for 4 years. What's the problem with popping over & saying "Hi girls. I'm Doris from next door. Got a problem with the trees in your back yard, yadda-yadda-yadda". Easy. Nice way to meet your neighbours, really. I really was most entertained by this letter & its content.
But the clincher to this whole incident? She posted the letter. Posted a letter through the mail to NEXT DOOR. Me & Teagan were in hysterics.
We're going to start "watering the garden" out the front quite frequently so we can catch "Doris" on her gopher & introduce ourselves .... then beat her up.
Old bag.
