Inability to open envelopes
« on: July 17, 2007, 04:35:12 PM »
Been sittng on my desk for 2 days now, and I just cannot bring myself to open it.  noooo: noooo:
The DREADED annual large brown envelope from my accountant. evil:

He's shortly swanning off in his new Porshe Carrera S to his new holiday villa in Spain that he's just proudly announced that he's purchased.
I hope it's infested with rabid fleas when he gets there. evil:

You really need to get yourself a robust letter opener G.  I still use one I was given over 20 years ago, silver and crystal, a beauty.

I attack the incoming missives without fear or prejudice... slicing through the folded 120gsm like a hot knife through butter.
Manilla? ... Pah! Take that!! fence:

My honour thus satisfied, I can ruminate over the contents...  confused:

I used to deal with a supplier in the ?States who added all incoming mail (snail mail, not e-mail then) to a big pair of scales on his desk and would only open it when it tipped 5lbs?  confused:

As you can imagine, it created all sorts of problems if some form of ?dialogue? was required that necessitated sending things back and forth.  ::)

Foolish I know, but I haven't opened any of my bank statements for years. I keep them in a bin liner under my desk redface:

I have a tendency to do the same thing  redface:  And being as I am getting 'somewhat' forgetful in my dotage I later come across a stack of unopened statements and yell at the bank for not sending them out in a timely manner.

At least I am at last learning how to apologise - in a 'stilted' sort of way... Bah!

I don't forget about them. I deliberately don't open them. Is this a confession or are others likewisely avoidant?

I don't open mine either - I merely take them to the office and shred them. Same goes for the Barclaycard statement.

I don't open them either. I do everything on line so if there was a discrepency I would have already seen it by the time the statement arrived.
