I know you will all agree with this. We all get postcards right? From friends. From nice places. But don't you really hate them and despise your friends for sending them? The ones with a picture of a pristine white beach stretching off in the distance on the front, and some hastily "I'm too busy drinking mai tais and preparing for my 1:00 massage appointment to write anything of substance here" message on the back, while you are sitting at a dingy desk filling out TPS reports?
Does anyone actually enjoy getting these? What's the point? I know you are vacationing in paradise. Really, I believe you. You don't need to send evidence. And I don't need to be reassured that you are "having a great time." In fact, I don't care. No, I'm not sitting in my cubicle drinking staring at the rainy monday outside the window drinking my shitty k-cup coffee sighing with relief at the news that you are, in fact, "partying pretty hard down there". Thank god! At last, I can uncross my fingers and put my lucky rabbit's foot back where in the drawer at home! It's ok, everyone, call off the party wagon, he's "having a blast!"
Anyways, half the time they arrive after the vacationer is already back home anyways. How dumb is that?
Readers have left 9 comments.  1. jollyNothing feels better than sending off a big ol' batch of postcards from the beach to all your friends who are suffering back home. I love it. 2. Boscorelli You've got issues, man. What's wrong with you. 3. SneakerGirl19 Perhaps the idea is that your "friends" thought of you while they were gone. They associated the sandy beach with your great pleasant existence. How poetic. 4. JohnnyGL Wait, am I missing something? isn't the idea like, "I wish you were here." or "I wanted to share my happiness with you, because you are my friend and you are happy for my happiness." 5. Boscorelli JohnnyGL, a wise man once said, "A bore is a man who, when you ask him how he is, he tells you." ![[smiley=cool]](http://www.unleashyouranger.com/components/com_jreactions/custom/templates/simple/smileys/smiley_cool.gif) 6. swesson ...in other words, when your friend asks how you are, the friend really doesn't care. That's just great. That's just great... ![[smiley=sad]](http://www.unleashyouranger.com/components/com_jreactions/custom/templates/simple/smileys/smiley_sad.gif) 7. Guest User Johnny, ostensibly maybe, yes. But don't you think it's more of a "Look where I am, don't YOU wish you were here" kind of thing? 8. bones you guys are all messed up. If I take the time on my vacation to write a postcard, my friend better damn well appreciate it. 9. homey You are all wrong. Postcards are just ways for tourist vendors to make money off of lame-ass pictures. |
