fuck you.

I remember back when my wife and I got married in the mid-2000's it was still an expected thing and we felt bad if we didn't send them out. In 2015 though it's not even a consideration.

they were freaking about not having sent Xmas cards or made a plan to take a pic and get a card together. i was like - don't bother. LOL

fuck you.

Christmas cards with family pictures on them. I think this is cool and nice to collect over the years.

dude

but im like wtf do i still have a birthday card from 2005??

lol

She hit me on facebook for my new address because she was sending Christmas cards. I told her I throw away all holiday cards. She texted me a few hours after wanting my address, again telling me she needed the addressed to send Christmas cards.

I told her again that I just throw them away.

She hit me with "just give me your address."

I'm like.... no means no!

The next text was another "just give me your address."

I mean i get it if that's your thing but it's kind of annoying if you ask me, especially when I've made it perfectly clear.... it's not wanted.

I did give it to her though.

..admittedly, i wouldn't give her my address either.

this sounds like an ep from seinfeld.


*skatin' the rings of saturn*


..and miles to go before i sleep...

The notion that I'm a dick for being honest and forthcoming in my desire to not get Christmas cards is fucking dumb as hell.

There's this bullshit idea that we should all acquiesce to the whims of of others in the name of allowing them to uphold their traditions even if it means including those who do not wish to participate.

Sorry, it doesnt make me a dick to choose not to participate. It makes her the duck for refusing to accept that I don't wish to participate.

It also makes you a dick for calling me a dick because that means you support that idea.

I kid.

But you are the guy who insists people take cards they don't want even when he knows they don't want them.

Are you the "100 no's and a yes is a yes" guy too?

guess i don't get the whole anti-card sentiment in here to begin with. i don't see it as someone forcing me to participate in their traditions. i just see it as a nice gesture. it doesn't require any kind of sacrifice on my part, and i appreciate the thought.

i don't know what you said specifically to her. there are plenty of ways to say thanks but i don't partake that that should suffice, but "no. i throw them away" feels unnecessarily dickish imo

>Are you the "100 no's and a yes is a yes" guy too?

i don't even know what that is, and the way she kept insisting would have caused me to dig in as well, but i don't see why it would have got to that point.

>guess i don't get the whole anti-card sentiment in here to
>begin with.

Anti is a little strong imo. They're just pointless to me. I see them as empty gestures. Still, that's me. I have no need with them. I do dislike people who insist on their acts of "kindness" being sent even when the recipient of said act makes it clear they don't want it.

At that point it's an act of selfish gratification far more than the thoughtful gesturing should be.

I call her the little sister I never wanted and got anyways. We have a mildly antagonistic relationship so in this particular case the entire exchange is par for our course and i still gave her the address.

In fairness thats still my standard reply. I see no need to phrase it differently. Its direct but not offensive and frankly I am unconcerned about the feelings of anyone sensitive enough to be that bothered. Its not like I stew in outrage when I get a card and they shouldn't stew when I tell them it's going in the trash.

So despite not being the best example of people pushing their cards on you, I still dislike cards and think it's self serving to send it even when people request that you not send them.

>i don't even know what that is, and the way she kept insisting
>would have caused me to dig in as well, but i don't see why it
>would have got to that point.

Shrug. What's the difference? If someone told me they trash something I'm trying to give them I appreciate the fact that they were up front and honest because they're telling me not to waste my efforts with that particular gesture.

With some couple livid that Larry won't give him their address.

I just see them as simple nice gestures. not any more or less than that.
Only ones I would see them as selfish gratification are those family photo joints, or the ones with updates about how Katie goes off to college this year, and Brad made the team.

But i'll still accept them. it's not that deep.

I could see being adamantly opposed to being dragged into a pyramid scheme, but this isnt that

It's far more unreasonable to expect me to just accept a thing I am clear about not wanting than it is for me to not want it.

You're saying "you don't want it? Take it anyways because, hey, it's not a pyramid scheme."

That's far more unreasonable than me not wanting it.

Do you expect people to eat food they don't like too?

Are you the guy that imposes things on people who say they don't want them? Because you're certainly the guy who thinks people should accept things being imposed on them when they don't want them.

I shouldn't have to accept your Christmas card... lmao

okp's are hilarious.

****************
TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

And I insist on giving it to you anyways

Why should you have to accept it? At that point I'm imposing on you.

You're incredulous because it's a Christmas card. What's the point of imposing it upon those who do not wish to receive one and tell you as much? Because that's the opposite of Christmas spirit.

okp's get mad at good morning text and Christmas cards. Is it just Christmas or any card that is for a joyous occasion?

this really is some Seinfeld Costanza shit.

Think about that.

Who said anything about “mad”? Who is in here seething and bugging out and typing with white knuckles over a Christmas card?

Cards- in general, not always- are trite, useless, and impersonal.
For these reasons, some people don’t really care for or want them.

Most of us in that camp just toss them when we get them and it’s no big deal. The caveat for me is if I have the opportunity to tell you thanks but no thanks, I’m going to take it and it the only thing that actually DOES bother me is when someone insists on sending it to me even after I’ve declined. Still, that opportunity is rare and thus I don’t go around telling everyone not to send me cards.

The truth is that the reactions you and others are having toward the notion that some people don’t particularly care for these useless, pointless Hallmark subsidies are far more emotionally charged than those of us who think it’s (generally) a pointless tradition and chose to express this on a message board that is (for me at least) disconnected from the rest of our lives instead of putting out a facebook PSA.

As far as your question about “all joyous occasions”, well… yeah. Unless some actual thought was put into it, yeah. Grown adults who still pass out generic Valentines cards to everyone in the office, for example, are ridiculous.

The bulk box of 500 plain cards with trees on them that you send to everyone with nothing but their name on them is about as thoughtless as thoughtfulness gets. Nobody is “mad” about this and it’s a completely reasonable, calm, rational response to not really want these. It’s basically spam with a smile.

Not sure why that warrants such an incredulous response. Now, I’m sure you and others will say something snarky on some TLDNR shit, but that perfectly makes my point for me:

The thoughtfulness and time I took to write this very post, from me to you, far outweighs the thoughtfulness and time you will get from 97% of your close friends and family in the cards they send you.
Let that simmer for a second.

The way they insist means "look...........you not just gettin a punk ass recyclable ass Hallmark ass Well Wishes ass card."

She lived with my wife and I through her first pregnancy. She’s inner circle close. We see each other less than we used to but we’re in a constant stream of communication either in one long ass facebook group message or one long ass group text.

There’s basically no reason for any of us to send the rest of us a card. If there’s an event nobody needs an invitation because the first couple of people will spread it like wildfire anyways.

She usually sends everyone the same card with their name written inside and that’s IT. She’s the only one that sends cards.
NOW, the one thing I will say, is that she’s pregnant and it just dawned on me that there’s a slight possibility that she might send out a gender reveal or something along those lines. So if it’s that or a Christmas pic of her daughter I’ll feel like a prick through and through.

This situation is just one of those… if you know us you know this exchange is pretty much a microcosm of our overall relationship and our group dynamic. She IS mighty persistent about these Christmas cards though. She’s not the type to actively troll like this though. She’s dead ass serious lol.

A friend on Facebook made a good point. Christmas cards used to be the chance to catch up with folks who live far away. With social media, we get to see your kids regularly, we know about the new job, we saw pics of the new house, etc.

These days, you could just take a good Christmas pic of you and the family (or whatever you like) and post it on your favorite social media platform.

she said her friend was texting her asking her our address
she was like 'so she can send us pics of her kids"

I said "we just saw pics of her kids on social media. In fact, she posted pics of the kids taking their holiday pics. fuck we need a picture for??"

Then immediately texted my wife that I don't want to do that or send out Christmas cards for us.

that you scribble your name inside and and stuff into an envelope that you then put in a stack and scribble the names of everybody you've ever met before handing it to them...

shit's goin straight in the garbage as soon as you walk away.

BUT

if you got to the drug store and spend time looking through the hallmark aisle reading cards to see which one i would dig the most...

OR

you actually write some meaningful shit inside a card...

then i'm a fan. i'll appreciate the card and keep it.

I'm tryna be better off, not better than...

That's such a cold and impersonal bit of "thoughtfulness" that just doesn't mean a thing.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

And the ones where friends craft a sweet and personalized inscription.

I actually felt guilty when I got a card from a friend the other day because it really hit me in the feels and made me feel thought of and cared for, meanwhile I'm pretty much a Scrooge and don't really get into the Christmassy spirit. But it made me think I should do more to be thoughtful like she is. But I'm lazy. lolsmh

my parents sent me a card that probably contains a check i won't cash. but i remember when i looked out for their cards b/c i planned to cash those checks. LOL

fuck you.

I have always wondered if the single folks have no interest in these cards. A lot of single women appear to want them. The dudes though? Hmmmm.
