OK so I do this thing called Soldiers angels online. I am a mentor thing. It's just a thing where you send notes and packages to soldiers overseas.
Well I've had 2 incidents this week that made me just want to start screaming at people.
First-there is a guy-a Master Sargent in the USMC. He has a hard to pronounce name. I get this e-mail from this girl railing on me that she doesn't want a name she can't pronounce because she's from a small town etc. Oh dear God. So I write back explaining that if he's in the military chances are he's probably got American citizen ship and he's pretty much american. Oh no- I get another e-mail back that he clearly cannot be american because he has no american name. *rolls eyes*
THEN I get another e-mail from another person who rails on me complaining she was under the impression that she would actually have a pen pal but chances are that the soldiers won't write back (I dunno-something about a war going on and theres not a bunch of time to write to people-it sort of hinders many letters written back) and she demanded that she get a soldier who writes a lot. Well I wrote back-well we don't really know who is going to be a writer over there and be able to write you back and who isn't. So she demands that I find out. How am I supposed to find out? Am I supposed to fly over to wherever the soldiers are and make them write letters and ask if they write letters? NO. So I tell her as nicely as I can-we don't know who will write and who won't. So she throws a fit and gets off the list
Jesus Christ-where do these people come from? I swear to God some of these people you just seriously have to wonder-why the hell did you sign up if your just going to throw a fit?
