You crack me up! What a novel way to use our sarcasm and humor to make the world a better place!πŸ˜†

Great selling point:

"Helping you avoid being on one of those murder documentaries where you get into with your cray cray neighbors and it escalates until one of you kills the other one, you could've just let us send a snark card!"πŸ€£πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

OH MY GOSH….I think we need to go into business together because that’s the BEST marketing copy for this idea πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

β€œHelping citizens NOT end up on Dateline…one snarky card at a time”

Brilliant.

could I hire those services to make a booklet or a complaint letter to people who have online meetings at their desk and think the whole office needs to hear what they're saying?

Expand full comment

Hahaha YES!! At your service. We can also make one to hand out to people riding transit who think the world needs to hear their speakerphone conversations 🀣

omg I was at the doctors a couple weeks ago and there was a man in the waiting room who was watching YouTube on speakerphone, and then he got a call from his wife and picked up on speakerphone as well. Give him a pamphlet too!

🀣🀣 I would've run out of pamphlets at Walmart the other night. The entire store seemed to be having speaker phone conversations (in all different languages) in every aisle. It gave me severe anxiety!

That would have stressed me out so much!

Lol! I feel I should set this up right away! A colleague and I might have sent an anonymously sent glitter bomb to a person we didn’t love much via a website that sent them. We were deciding between the glitter bomb and a bag of dicks (candy ones). It was a hard decision. I think you can also anonymously send poo to people too!! I think the complaints business could work (and might already exist!)

OMG Lisa 🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣🀣 I ALMOST sent a glitter bomb to an old neighbor because his weed and loud music was stinking up the entire building LOL! I didn’t do it but I have regrets about not doing it hahahaa.

It just too bad you can’t see the glitter bomb explosion. Very little satisfaction in that deed.

I know. I’ve imagined it though! That’s the only downside to it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜

"Or it could go the other way and write 12 ways TO suck at customer service? And at the end, you congratulate them on completing all 12 steps toward sucking."

I love everything about these ideas...

I know of someone who might love to steal these ideas...

Well if you pass it on and they take it, I want my first 3 complaints for free 🀣

It's a deal!

LOL, love this! "Bespoke Complaints," perhaps?

Expand full comment

LOL yup!! Another good one 😁

There you go and have done it again... Made me laugh/cry and spit out my tea.

"The Complainerie" like it's some debonnaire, fancy-smanshy, expensive paper-type of complaints department. lol.

This was my favourite too!

Ahahahaa! The word reminds me of charcuterie. Like we're serving up the best cuts of complaints on the market 😁

Ooh I am feeling an urge to do this to the energy company who installed our so called eco friendly heating system and left us hanging and our health system here in the UK. What a fantastic idea to make it anonymous. πŸ’œ

Love this- Strangers on a train- strangers on a postcard. 🌞

Honestly, when you put it like that it could be used for good as well. Anonymous postcards for good!

I’d love to do it as an anti-bullying campaign.

Ah, too bad my dad is no longer alive, he wrote EPIC customer service complaints that were as entertaining as they were scathing. When that new Glad cling wrap thing came out that you pinch around the rim of a cup or bowl as a lid - he hated it. The packaging had something like "Nuevo! Nouveau! Nouvelle!" on it, so his opening line was "SuckΓ©! Sucko! Suckelle!" and somehow got even better from there. He got his $3.59 back.

LMAO!!!! Aw man, the world lost a good one when we lost your dad huh!? πŸ˜‚ I would pay money if you had a book collection of his complaints!

Brilliant. Solid income potential! No end to possible product line extensions. How about a receipt for the end of a bad date night? How To Be A Lousy Companion (phone number for callbacks definitely not included)

Expand full comment

Bahahahaaa I LOVE the date night one 🀣 Women could carry a good and a bad one and hand it out accordingly 😁

I really like the idea of this anonymous service. And yet.

It’s a sad reality that most people have to leave their pets alone during work hours. That’s the real issue. Having to work away from home, and yet also deserving to have the love of a pet.

Yes, there are a ton of questionable owners, but sometimes there are no good solutions.

Expand full comment

I used to be one of those many years ago. Leaving my dog home alone while I went to work. Unfortunately the people next door to me aren't out. They're retired and sitting in their house ALL day. Their car never moves. Plus they have two adult daughters living in the house.

Ok then no excuse

I love this. You should do it. Instead of leaving a bad review for a business I would rather send them the review or a note anonymously. (Reviews can really harm a business.) I also love your pamphlet ideas for dog owners. People can download from Amazon for $4.99 each. Bingo. Another income stream.

Dude. I never thought of that. The Amazon thing. That's totally amazing!! 🀣

Also, people who abandon their pets are just plain wicked! I’d like one of these cards for my rubbish neighbour who abandons their pup as well.

My latest newsletter coincidently is about complaining about bad services.

So, I would be needing this to give my landlord and his facility management team something new to cry about, since they hate our complaints so much!πŸ˜ƒ

Hahaha do it 🀣

It was a fun read but seriously, if people don't care about their dogs why would they give a thought to an unsigned complain.

You did give me an idea for your web url. Unfortunately BitchBitchBitch.com is taken but there are alternate extensions available. 😁

Expand full comment

My thoughts about the dogs are many:

A) Maybe they just don’t have a clue how to raise dogs.

B) Maybe if they know outsiders are looking in on them they might clean up their act?

I dunno, but now that we have snow on the ground, if I see those puppies out there all day long, believe that I will call animal control again.

And πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ at bitchbitchbitch.com SO funny!

Expand full comment

Yeah, if it's snowing animal control needs to be brought back into it. No telling what kind of people you're dealing with. Do they have kids they ignore too? Nothing to be done about that until a crime is committed. Good luck!

Expand full comment

They have several grown kids. Two adult daughters live with them and the third daughter is the one who breeds these dogs. That's where they got them, from their other daughter's latest litter. Ugh.
