You've Been Dismissed...

sugabluejennnie by sugabluejennnieOG 2002 · Nov 6, 2003 · 272 views · ·

Eliminate with the "You Better Letter Me Go" you can break up with
him without seening his pitiful face...

Dear (man's name)-

I regret to inform you that you have been eliminated from further
contention as Mr. Right. As you are probably aware, the competition was
exceedingly tough and dozens of well-qualified candidates such as
yourself also failed to make the final cut. I will, however, keep your
name on file should an opening come available. So that you may find
better success in your future romantic endeavors, please allow me to
offer the following reason(s) you were disqualified from the
competition:

Check those that apply:

Your last name is objectionable. I cant imagine taking it, hyphenating
it, or subjecting my children to it.

Your first name is objectionable. Its just not something I can picture
myself yelling out in a fit of passion.

The fact that our finest dining experience to date has been at
McDonalds reveals a thriftiness that I find unappealing.

You failed the 20 Question Rule, i.e., I asked you 20 questions about
yourself before you asked me more than one about myself.

Your breasts are bigger than mine.

Your legs are skinnier than mine.

You're too short. Any son that we produced would inevitably be beaten
up repeatedly at recess.

Youre too tall. Im developing a chronic neck condition from trying to
kiss you.

You have a hairy back.

I find your inability to fix my car extraordinarily unappealing.

The fact that your apartment has been condemned reveals an inherent
slovenliness that I fear is unbreakable.

The phrase "My Mother" has popped up far too often in conversation.

You still live with your parents.

Although I do enjoy the X-Files, I find your wardrobe of Star Trek
uniforms a little disconcerting.

Your frequent references to your ex-girlfriend lead me to suspect that
you are some sort of psychotic stalker.

Your ability to belch the alphabet is not a trait that I am seeking in
a long term partner.

Your height is out of proportion to your weight. If you should,
however, happen to gain the necessary 17 vertical inches, please resubmit your application.

The fact that you categorize the Pro Bowlers Tour as "must see TV"
demonstrated that you do not meet my intelligence requirements.

I am out of your league; set your sights lower next time.

Sincerely, Your Name

Sometimes, I think it would be nice to have a guy around who could fix my car...but I prefer learning how to do it myself. It is extremely annoying to have guys tell you what is wrong with your car. Sometimes you can get 10 different opinions when not one of them can keep their own car running. Actually, I guess the real frustration is in guys telling girls what to do as if they don't know any better. I know a lot. And if a guy tells me what to do, chances are I am gonna do the opposite (that's guys in general, not bfs). If I ask for advice, yay I'll take it. But if I don't, and I don't want it, you've just wasted precious energy.

Oh yeah, I also don't like it when guys walk around barefoot.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 ·

see! feet are nasty! i am in total agreement.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

aw, honey, i could handle your speach until you got to the feet part. i love being barefoot.

T
toxicgirlOG 2003 ·

I've hated feet for a long time. Longer than I've known you. Don't worry, I won't dump you because you like to be barefoot.

tinser tinserOG 2002 ·

good thing you replied before dan did...i felt another invitation for tacos coming on

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 ·

HAHAH...you all know me too well...i love it

T
toxicgirlOG 2003 ·

Whoa, that was a close call.

tinser tinserOG 2002 ·

You failed the 20 Question Rule, i.e., I asked you 20 questions about
yourself before you asked me more than one about myself.

that's the worst

ilikebirds ilikebirdsOG 2002 ·

i'm glad ' oh oh tyyyyyy ' ... has such a smooth flow.

D
dgiaimoOG 2003 ·

Wow. You'd stop going out with a guy because you don't like his first name? There are lots of girl's names that I absolutely despise, but I would never let that affect whether I go out with them.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ·

Yeah, you'll just ask them to legally change it right?

D
dgiaimoOG 2003 ·

Their first name? No. That's an awfully shallow thing to care about.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 ·

i don't think it is. if i met an awesome girl and her name was Jill, a change would be required.

T
toxicgirlOG 2003 ·

you would say something like that

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 ·

don't start...

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

she can. and you'll like it, dnhll.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 ·

yo, valentine, i don't see things working out well for you. in fact, you've probably eaten your last peanut butter sandwich.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

dan. are you threatening me?

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 · fivezero

no. i am promising you. (a promise is more definite.)

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 · skaorsk8

oh, ok. just askin'.

tinser tinserOG 2002 ·

what if you have trouble pronouncing the name?

D
dgiaimoOG 2003 ·

If you really like the person you'll learn to pronounce it properly.

I have no sympathy for people who refuse to learn to pronounce other people's names properly. There are people that I've known for years that continue to insist on murdering the pronunciation of my last name, and every time I hear it I cringe. I could rant for hours on this subject, but I think I won't bore you with all that.

tinser tinserOG 2002 ·

hmm, i disagree..i think some things certain people just can't say...like i can not say the name CARL for the life of me...i think something i wrong with my tounge.

There is another name i have a lot of trouble saying too.

But, you could always come up with nicknames for a person, and just call them that. That works

D
dgiaimoOG 2003 ·

But would you let that affect whether you would go out with a guy? Besides, I'm sure you could at least get close to the correct pronunciation. What I'm talking about is people who _truly_ wreck the pronunciation of my name.

BTW, are you going to enlighten us as to what the other name you can't say is? :)

tinser tinserOG 2002 ·

no, of course i wouldn't let if effect whether i went out with a guy or not...that'd be retarded...you'd be really shallow if you did.

and, no, haha...the other name is a secret

D
dgiaimoOG 2003 ·

Aww... Now you've got me really curious. :) Oh well, if you don't want to tell us, that's your business.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

speaking of this whole topic...what is with when a girl dates some guy let's say a mike. everyone calls him mike. why does she call him michael? you know this sort of girl? what is with that?

theremin thereminOG 2002 ·

I never went by "Robert." Always went by "Robbie." But, there was this one girl that always had to call me Robert, instead of being like everyone else who called me Robbie. I despise "Robert," normally, but I don't know ...when she said "Robert" it had this certain unexplainable sweetness to it.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

it's a sweet formality. a bit of respect.

theremin thereminOG 2002 ·

Hmm. Only sounded good when she said it. Normally I quiver at the name. Always make people call me Robbie, or I beat 'em up. But, made the exception for her, since she was hot, and had a voice to die for.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

thats sounds shallow and stupid, robbie.

theremin thereminOG 2002 · fivezero

Shallow, but I refuse to agree on stupid.

D
dgiaimoOG 2003 ·

I've always thought that it's because she wants to make their relationship special somehow, so she calls him something that no one else does.

sugabluejennnie sugabluejennnieOG 2002 ·

His first i wouldnt have a problem with but other chicks do but his lasnt name...Im sorry i wouldnt want my last name something that would embrass me..

D
dgiaimoOG 2003 ·

The last name I could almost understand. After all you're, hopefully, going to be taking it as your own, but I just don't understand what the issue is with first names.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ·

My math teacher got married and now her last name is "Stankawitz" or something very close to that spelling.

D
dgiaimoOG 2003 ·

That's not as bad as some names I know of. There's this headhunter that my dad knows whose parents decided to name "Richard" despite of, or perhaps because of, the fact that their last name was "Head". No, I'm not making this up.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ·

A Headhunter? What exactly does he do for a living?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 ·

wellll, either he's a job scout for big companies. orrrrr he's a bounty hunter who tracks criminals and parole violators.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ·

Yeah..the word Headhunter immediately brought the word bounty hunter to mind.

D
dgiaimoOG 2003 ·

Really? You must not deal with corporate America much. Then again, neither do I, but I've heard my dad talk about them enough that I don't usually think of that meaning.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 · dgiaimo

"You must not deal with corporate America much" ahaha that's an understatement.

malibu malibuOG 2001 ·

fiji is the only place in the world where there are still live head hunters.

D
dgiaimoOG 2003 ·

As fivezero said, he's a job scout.

malibu malibuOG 2001 ·

my mommy is a head-hunter. she scares me sometimes when i awake to find her standing over me.

tinser tinserOG 2002 ·

haha, when i was like 7, i used to think head hunters were tribal men, who painted their faces and wore loin cloths and carried spears

malibu malibuOG 2001 · tinser

there still are headhunters of this form today. except they're in fiji.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ·

hah i'm reading this list going...had it, had it...

sugabluejennnie sugabluejennnieOG 2002 ·

Hairy back not a big win with me..

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 ·

hey mike..."your breasts are bigger than mine!" haha!

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003 ·

o man... i love this...

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ·

Your height is out of proportion to your weight. If you should,

Ahahaa...17 inches, that's so much!
