Greeting Cards for People Like Us

If you’re like me —jaded, dead inside, the owner of a cold black heart —you may find yourself spending hours in the greeting card aisle of your grocery store, looking for a card that says exactly how you feel (or you’re just a weirdo with nothing better to do, but hey, I don’t judge). But since the rest of the world isn’t as “realistic” about the state of human existence as you, you probably have a hard time finding a card that isn’t saccharine-creepy or vaguely smells like grandma. Well, fret no longer, my friend (okay, you may fret, but not about greeting cards, pal… NOT ANYMORE!), because here are the perfect greeting cards for a cynical bitch like you!

For Your BFF

    Those are great. I need one for my Home Owner’s Association to ‘thank’ them for their recent notification that my lawn sucks and that if I don’t take action, they will.

    I swear that story must have been written by my best friend when I was 12. The tone, the style (the length) are redolent of her magnus opus “Aggie goes to the Butchers”.
