This is why I haven't had a Santa picture before this year. Some years dd1 wouldn't even go on the sane floor as him in the mall. Finally, my 7th year as a mother & I have a Santa picture. I can die happy.
I do get that some kids will be excited until they're on his lap, I just don't know that I'd post it.
Not a juicy one. DD is 6 months old today. I hit the page limit in her "first year" shutterfly book 3 weeks ago (I think it's like 115 pages and $200 before any discounts). I have a problem.
I had 4 full books last year. Each 3 months took up all the pages,
I'm doing better--this year will only be 3 books! Haha!
We tip our UPS guy and garbage/recycling handlers. I don't expect other people to do so.
But I'm judging the people judging me for giving someone who I think goes above and beyond their job gifts. Why do you care?
Seriously what are these people doing that go above and beyond?
Our garbage man will dump our trash twice if we have more than what fills the dumpster. He's never late or misses a day. Always stops to chat if he sees us out.
Our UPS man hides our packages behind our rocking chair, helps me get large packages in, and is overall a nice guy.
When we moved, the owners before us never had a mailbox so for a while our mail was all screwy. Our route driver would be sure we got our mail, even if it was the wrong address. If we got a package that is too big to fit he will bring it to us instead of making us come to the PO.

See the UPS and mail person make sense but I am dumbfounded you tip the garbage guy because he doesn't miss any days. So now we tip people for.doing what they already get paid for? Sorry that's ridiculous.

I have a "stolen" stroller.
It was a really similar situation to tree lady...my H held up the box, it looked like the lady scanned it, and he didn't register the price discrepancy until he got home.
To be fair, we did call and try to pay, but we're told we'd have to come back in. Then the lady added, "I'll be honest with you...if you bring it back in, that cashier will probably get fired. So, do what you want." So we kept it. I didn't want to get someone fired over a scanner error. I have zero guilt over my free stroller.
So, I was at the store today buying groceries for Christmas Dinner.
I picked up two hams, just to see the weight difference, and read the price tag.
This chick leans over, grabs the ham in my left hand, and says "I was going to get that one."
Seriously? I was just looking. She was NOWHERE near me. Crazy tattooed eyebrow chick....just grabbing the ham. So, these three other girls standing nearby looked at me as if they wanted to know if they could help. I just smiled so big...like, WTF....this chick is out of her mind. I looked back at the girl and said, "It's just a fucking ham." Then I laughed hysterically. I had no words. Good lord.
The confession out of all that....I really wanted to hit her with the other ham I had in my hand. For a fraction of a second, my inner gangsta chick came out...and I really wanted to bean her. I'm 35. No need to act crazy like that. BAHAHA!!

OMG wait, she grabbed the ham out of your hand??? WTF. That would be one of those situations that I would just be too dumbfounded to speak. Haha. And the vision of you (not that I know you, but what I picture as a regular adult woman) chucking a ham at another woman is HILARIOUS.

Oh yes. LOL! She totally took it. I seriously am just a normal woman. No drama here...but man I wanted to hit her with it. BAHAHA!

So I guess I should quit getting a GC for my kid's teacher. I mean she is just doing the job she gets paid for.

Yes because the person who teaches my kid to read, loves learning and spends 7 hour a day with the most important people in my life is totes the same as the person who drives a big truck and collects my dirty diapers and literally spends 30 seconds in front of my house once a week. Who by the way I couldn't even pick out of a lineup because I have never seen him because he never actually gets out of his/her truck.
Every time I try to give you the benefit of the doubt you prove again and again how dumb you really are. Like drowning in the rain dumb. You seriously have yet to prove you can hold your own with the intelligent, well educated women on this board. Have you heard of the bump? They like discussing table cloths that might be more your thing.

LOL. You obviously have some serious issues you need to work through. I am sorry I engaged you in the first place.
Oh and for everyone else, yes obviously teachers and your garbage man are not the same thing. Teachers/daycare workers whatever are way more important. But still, they are just doing their job. My point was that sometimes it's ok to show appreciation for people that are just doing their job. My bosses all get me a small Christmas gift just for doing my job. So what if I leave a $5 gift card, a meat tray, or a small box of chocolates for the mailman or garbageman? It's a nice thing to do for them to show that they are appreciated! That was my point.

LOL. Seriously tho, you had to know that comparing the garbage collectors to your kids teachers wasn't going to go over well. Apples to oranges.

Funny that I only have issues with you. Yet you have issues with quite a few others....hmmm seems the common denominator would be you.
But seriously I really just think you are not very bright. You had to know this was not going to go over well. You might not be educated or place an emphasis on education in your house obviously but the majority of this board does.

Meat tray? Seriously who the fuck gives someone a meat tray.
You leave "a meat tray" for the garbageman? Lolllllll. I'm trying to imagine where you "leave" it....and how they know it's not part of your garbage.
Stuck in the box!! I wasn't sure what to call it, but sometimes we give him one of those Hickory Farms thing, you know where the meat doesn't have to be refrigerated. My ILs and DH also make homemade smoked sausage every year so he has gotten that in the past too. We leave the gift on the gate post that is near the dumpster. Or we give it to him if we happen to see him out.
Meat tray! Ew. There is a time and a place for a meat tray and that isn't it.
I don't get what's crazy about it??? Our crop insurance agent sends us one in the mail every year. What's the difference between that and leaving it on the fence post?
Of course I am not talking about the tray of deli meat you buy in the grocery store, that would be gross.

I give my UPS guy a gift. His name is Tim, he knows my kids and dogs names and is generally awesome.
If my garbage man did the same, I'd leave him a tip/gift.
lol though at not tipping people for doing the job they get paid for. That's kind of what tips are. And Christmas bonuses and things like that.
Well since I basically know no one that gets a Christmas bonus I still call bull on gifting for someone doing their job. Should I gift to the grocery store lady, she is really good at bagging my food? See how this gets ridiculous quickly. FWIW I know the grocery clerk more than my mail carrier or trash guy. If I tipped everyone that did they job I would be handing out money all the time and so would you.
