Dear Birthday Persons,2015 Birthday Greetings Protocol
A mass “Happy Birthday” on Facebook is a generic gesture and in many cases it is one of many generic greetings. This form of birthday greeting does not require a direct acknowledgement. An unnecessary but nice response is to simply “Like” the greeting. Again not required.
A direct text message or messenger greeting is more personal. This greeting is reserved for close friends who do not need the Facebook world to see you said, happy birthday, but more importantly the person themselves. The proper response to a direct happy birthday is a reply of, Thank you. Failure to do so is an insult. It is like saying, I do not care that you care enough to send me a personal greeting.
To those of you who do not adhere to these common social protocols, may your birthdays suck!

Dear Thanksgiving Host,
Your karma stinks because every year we do this dance. I ask what can I bring. I am grateful that you are kind enough to host. But can you please just tell me what I can do!!! When you respond, just bring yourself, we know that is the start of the turkey dance. I say I want to help, you reply thank you but we are good. The endless loop of please and no just bring yourself is unnecessary.
First we know if I show up without anything I will be the post holiday topic of Mr Freeloader. Second it’s better to just generalize app or desert and let me do the rest. In the end I will over compensate by bringing both plus enough wine beer and whiskey to have the whole family buzzed for Black Friday. To end the topic, we could all avoid the turkey dance if you’d just tell me what I could bring.
Many thanks,
The Karmic Avenger

Dear Neighbor,Your karma stinks because you poisoned us at your party with your cheap booze. What’s with putting out Smirnoff vodka for your guests and then, while looking for ice, I see a giant bottle of Ketel One in your freezer?
