Over the weekend, I received a notecard in the mail, announcing that it was a couple's silver anniversary in April. I thought it was an invitation to their party. As I read the text, though, I realized that it was a note from their daughter, saying that it was the couple's "dream" to go to a bed and breakfast, and that she was soliciting "monetary contributions" to make this dream come true. If we wanted to be a part of the "joyous occasion", send a check made out to the daughter and our name would be added to the gift card.

I found this to be extremely rude and absent of good manners. Is it just me, or does anyone else think so? I could understand if it were an invitation to a party, and mention was made of a large gift for the couple that you might want to contribut to, but there was no invitation, just an outright solicitation for funds.

I should add that this is a family member, not just a passing acquaintance. Am I being over-sensitive, or does anything truly go these days?
I think it's just you.


:p

Only kidding. That does seem incredibly rude, snobby, and insensitive... There's not much else to it.

"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
