Thank You Notes - October 2, 2009

It's time for another edition of Natalie's Thank You Notes.


Dear Old Lady at Wal-Mart,

Thank you for rudely interrupting my transaction at the service desk at Wal-Mart. I'm sure the other 10 people in line appreciated it as well. But who cares? You're old and you need help. That comes before anything else. And right when I thought you were done, you ask another question! Go ahead, keep ignoring the cashier after she asks you to go wait in line for the third time. And you just keep standing there pretending like you didn't hear her because she'll give you what you want eventually. That way you're time is not wasted (although everyone else's time is). I see your plan. It's genius. When I'm old I'll do just the same thing.

Thanks,
Natalie


Dear Winner of (insert any major prize here),

Thank you for being so unenthusiastic when you were presented with your prize. It really made me feel much better about losing when you didn't seem to care at all. It's not like I spent hours entering my name every day for months on end. Oh wait, it is. But go ahead, enjoy your million-dollar dream house/ hybrid car/ huge check/etc. You deserve it, and clearly I do not.


Thanks,
Natalie



Dear President Obama,

Thank you for sharing your opinion on absolutely everything that's going on in society. Who are you picking as the winner of the NCAA men's basketball tournament next year? Please, do tell! What do you think of Kanye's rude interruption at the VMAs? We're all dying to know. Our questions for your are endless. But it's like you have ESP sometimes and we don't even have time to think about your opinion before it's the headline on every major news show. Can we say crazy?

Thanks,
Natalie


Dear American Journalists,

Thanks for sharing said Obama opinions with us. It's nice to know you care as much (if not more) than we do. Now seriously, what does the president think about last night's episode of "Grey's Anatomy"? I don't think I can live another minute without knowing.

Thanks,
Natalie
