To Whom it May Concern,
Bring your vehicle to a competent mechanic! Please! The backfifres and other noises coming from either the muffler or elsewhere along that system's keeping me awake every time you start the van outside my
televisions since it rattles every one of them moreso than a Harley Davidson motorcycle! Scares the delegation!
To Whom it May Concern #2,
Why the hello and how-do-you-do did you grab a box of ice cream sandwiches, open it, take out two, then stick the box in among the non-refrigerated snacks aisle? If you had no intent to purchase them, leave them be! There are items in the produce section and the bakery section that are less likely to be ruined, plus they are pre-marked with a price! Oh, and the entire store has free samples to snack on if you're that hungry!
To Whom it May Concern #3,
If the door to the ground floor's laundry room is closed, it's probably locked until Monday. Oh, and aren't you the one who didn't turn in the information concerning a storage locker before Friday!? Avoid me for the next two months when the lock on your storage locker is cut off and everything's tossed out because you were warned as was everyone else in the building! Hell, I went into the basement by myself to double check which one was mine so my lock wouldn't be cut off (it's a combination lock, plus I have two lamps in said storage locker that I could've used when my main lights went out...)

My Daily Rant
To They Know Whom:
Why did you throw my stuff out and cover the desk and every other surface in the office with your stuff?
To Our Mutual Supervisor:
Why did you see she had thrown my stuff in the trash and not ask her to take it out or take it out yourself?

To Whom it May Concern,
I didn't snitch on you concerning your constant old time radio or television. Don't kvetch at me when you have an eviction for that and your smoking! I'm just grateful for a bloody night's sleep! Ditto The Trio!
To Whom it May Concern #2,
You keep calling me, not leaving a message. I'm not returning your call since I have no idea why you want to talk to me!

To many callers would indicate they are doing many things wrong to warrant being called.
To Whom it May Concern,
I'm too bloody young for Medicare! Stop fluffing calling me about Medicare benefits! The only reason I qualify for my flat is because I'm disabled (I have three invisible disabilities [diabetic neuropathy, osteoarthritis and vision problems that I've had since the Nixon Administration].) Oh, and a cardiac condition that the cardiologist cannot find without tests that aren't covered by my health insurance...
To Whom it May Concern #2,
I didn't "drop a dime" on your friend! Stop pestering me about her being evicted! She was smoking in her flat, which is cause for eviction due to a blanket ban on smoking because several of the neighbours are on oxygen therapy! Hell, I have to get an electric menorah to put in one of the TVs out of the reach of any of the s!

To Whom it May Concern,
When someone tells you that they have a particular medical condition, listen to them, and stop trying to foist something on them that'll harm them! I kept telling you that I have diabetes and that I don't need your red velvet cupcakes with cream cheeese frosting (they're sugar on sugar on sugar...) My glucose levels were so high that my monitor registered "high", causing me to go to the nearest ER/A&E for emergency treatment. You could've killed me, leaving The Trio territory-less. (This woman wants all three of them for herself, and she's told me so directly several times.) Another thing, stop telling me that someone's looking for me just outside!
To Whom it May Concern #2,
Why didn't you let me know that you had your cell phone with you instead of having me sit outside for almost an hour, watching a (possibly nonexistant) phone. I could've been one of the visually impaired neighbours (in all intents and purposes, I am close to it because I am extremely nearsided, plus I have terrible cararacts in both eyes.)

To Whom it May Concern,
I was chatting with one of my friends about his recent medical diagnosis because he knows that I've dealt with the same condition for years now., plus he trusts me. You, on the other hand have only read these quack "remedies" that would (probably) ill him.. Be grateful that I didn't defenestrate you through one one of the TVs! Oh, and You won't see The Trio until you stop fluffing smoking because they can smell you long before they see you! (She smokes two packs a day, maybe more...)
To Whom it May Concern #2,
Do you have diabetes? If not, stay out of any discussions about it. I was talking with a newly diagnosed patient who had legitimate questions about the disease along with giving him several "tricks" to manage his glucose levels until he sees his dietician along with his new physician! I don't butt in on on your conversations about cognitive insufficiency since I don't have them AFAIK...
To Whom it May Concern #3,
Black "frillies" show under pink knit joggers. Oh, and the bus had to be taken out of service because you had an "accident" in your seat. I was lucky that I didn't have anything that required refrigeration or freezing, plus I didn't live far from where the bus was "retired", relatively speaking.. I'm also lucky that I didn't have my flatmates with me, especially the male! He can be walked on a fluffing leash because he's big enough!

To Whom It May Concern:
The friend that complimented my defense skills was appreciating my physical ability. She was not just "checking me out".
There is more to me than just my appearance, thank you very much.

I might be the only one in the world with this problem, but for over 20 years I have not been able to find a decent can opener. The lone exception is a Rubbermaid can opener that I purchased at a second hand store. It is from the 80's and I bought it for our camping gear. I have probably purchased 12 can openers in that span. I think I might have to go online and see if someone has an old 80's Rubbermaid can opener, because none last more than 2 years. I do have an electric can opener that works fine, but I want a can opener that will work when the electricity is out. We don't even purchase that many canned goods in my household. If it weren't for my kids' addiction to black olives we would probably be fine.
I don't suppose anyone has any suggestions?

Oxo Good Grips is a good brand. I've had my can opener and vegetable peeler for years (though we rarely peel the vegetables anymore)

Great! As long as they still make 'em like they did 20 years ago or whenever it was I got mine, it will work out great.
It looks the same, the product description is the same, and the reviews are very good.

We were recently on vacation in Alabama and stayed in a condo. The can opener worked rather well and I told my wife that we should take a picture of it and find it. I think it was the same one you showed me.Great! As long as they still make 'em like they did 20 years ago or whenever it was I got mine, it will work out great.

To Whom it May Concern,
Stay in your lane! You're an ophthamology surgical nurse, not an endocrinology nurse! You only know about my eyes, not what causes my "beard". I've lived with my facial hair since I hit puberty, plus it follows both carotid artery and jugular vein, which I don't want to nick if you don't mind!
To Whom it May Concern #2,
I underwent surgery yesterday. I'm tired. Stop with your 9-1-1/9-9-9 calls. There are people who actually need their services! Plus I missed my post-op appointment, which I can ill afford!
To Whom it May Concern #3,
Get you d@mn vehicle fixed at a reliable mechanics shop! I can't sleep when you drive your death trap because it's parked right outside my flat!
To Whom it May Concern #4,
I'm too young for Medicare, being on the wrong side of 62! Take my phone number off you bloody lists!
To Whom it May Concern #5,
If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, I'm not interested in attending your bloody wedding! I nearly died the last time, plus I don't think you've grown up since! Hell, I'd rather attend an autopsy than your wedding!
