Pet peeve of the day.
An address book, two daily planners, a couple of short-lived pens, a really cheap wallet-sized talking clock/calculator, a book-sized calculator that never worked right, a not-very-pretty wall calendar, a large pile of general-purpose greeting cards and postcards, page after page of return address labels (one of which had the name misspelled), postage-sized decorative stamps that aren't actually postage, a "membership card" with an expensive-looking 3D hologram of a deer in a field, and somewhere around $2.15 in small change.
What my family has received so far this year from charities asking for money.
What exactly are you trying to tell us, National Diabetes Association, Foundation for the Blind, American Lung Association, various cancer institutes and March of Dimes? That our money means so little to you that you're willing to waste it on stationary and cheap Chinese crap for everyone on your sucker mailing list, rather than use it for whatever your charity is purportedly for; and meanwhile having the gall to ask for more money at the exact same time? "Enjoy this free gift! We need your help!"
(March of Dimes is especially blatant: "Enjoy this free dime! We need it back!")
Keep your crappy gifts. We don't need your kind of waste in our economy.
