Dear Harford County

Is it not enough that you extract ridiculous amounts of money from my bank account every year now that I house within your boundaries? Now you add another bill to my life? To maintain the water and sewer lines? Are you for real?

They aren't that old! There's nothing to maintain! STOP STEALING MY MONEY DANGIT! I've got scrap kits to buy, and $140 goes a loooooooong way. Ya jerkoffs. I bet all of that money, that you're not even DOING anything to water and sewer lines. Just taking my money and throwing it away. Just like every other dang form of government.

Angered at the nickel and diming this dang country does,

I hear ya! Our electric and water/sewer are provided by the city, which is nice (cheaper than from other sources)...BUT they just decided to raise rates 10% for electric and 5% for water!!!! And then the mayor sends us all this note (and how much did that cost, to send to the whole city)...buttering us up about it, "we know it's hard times, blah blah"...and then says "In retrospect, we should have been raising rates 2% per year for the past 5 years...in the future, we will work to increase costs to the consumer in smaller increments"...yeah. We're supposedly still paying less for electric than neighboring communities served by Consumer's Power, but...it still sucks BIG time...

I hate taxes. Grrr

Dear Next Door Neighbor,

Thank God you are not 80 or the music you play so loud I can hear it through the wall at all times of the day and night would REALLY annoy me. I guess I can tolerate Color Me Badd and Bel Biv Devoe until November.

Maybe the cat that you have taped a computer printout picture of on your front door will knock your sound system over with his bushy tail. One can only hope.

Fondly,
Apartment D

P.S. I'm glad someone finally told you that a 1985 Mercedes Benz does not warrant needing to park in the middle of two parking spots in front of our building.

Dear Downstairs Neighbor,

Why is it that the only time I can hear you guys talking is when I am sitting on the toilet?

Curiously,

Dear Employers Whose Jobs I Apply For,

Why do you hate me?

Dear Entenmann's,

Why must you make such delicious chocolate-y donuts that I eat two at a time every 4-5 hours until the box is empty?

Thank God you display your goodies by the milk so I am not too tempted. You know I never drink any of that.

Grossly,
Voluptuous McFattypants

Dear Cookie,

Why must you love Mandy and not me? You know you could have my goods anytime. Please take me on the S.S. Love sometime like you do with her.

Yours,
Chocolate Chip

Dear Adobe,

Why don't you just lend me PSCS3 for awhile? I'll make sure to tell everyone you did such a nice thing for me.

All my love,
Carpal Tunnel

P.S. Maybe we could talk about some kind of tattoo trade off. You get your ink on me, and I get my hands on your program? Think about it.

I feel so much better! Thanks, Col!

Hahahahahah no problem LA! I love a good open letter

ahh, I just opened my water/sewer bill today. Goes up and up and up. Although to be fair, I will admit that my city appears to be doing stuff with the sewer lines, which are like 50ish years old I guess. Plus when I do call the city for sewer line problems they come PRONTO. so fun to have them run their little camera through the sewer line. woo hoo.

ours is going up too...but yep they just dug up 3 feet wide and the whole length of my front yard to replace plastic pipes into copper pipes (and resodded where they dug up!)

I have city everything else which I LOVE...I don't even have to have a garbage pick up..the city does it!

What ticks me off is that we pay that and last fall, my friend had the sewer back up into her basement destroying her scrap room and all her scrap supplies and books and they had the nerve to tell her that it wasn't their fault.

After it was snaked and all, there was so much twigs and crap in the line that it was just a matter of time.

Dear city of Kokomo,

why do you have a deadline to file the Homestead Act to get a discount on your property taxes? Because of this, instead of the usual three hundred some odd dollars twice a year, this year we have to pay $856 this month, then again in November!!???? Holy. Freaking. Crap. Hello, i have a bathroom that desperately needs to be remodeled. Every month for the last several months, something has come up to postpone it. Now i see its YOUR turn to screw it up. Thanks. NOT!

Not sincerely,

Almost Broke Already

Seriously, this is ridiculous!! We have decided to just pay some now and the rest later this month, even though we'll be penalized. oh well. they have our tiny 1200 sq. ft. home and barely half an acre lot valued at like $60,000. It was a repoe. we paid $12,600 for his house. Though we have done a lot of remodeling (and i don't think we'll ever be done) its NOT worth that much!!!!
