Maybe I'm in the minority, but these cards aren't clever or funny. A lot of the cards/notes are too long and wordy... like when someone tells a joke wrong and the punch line is lost in the translation.

Take the parking notes:

1. I hope you’re having a lovely day! Just wanted to give you a quick and friendly note to let you know you park like an asshole!

2. On behalf of more intelligent and respectful people everywhere, please stop parking like a jerk. Thank you in advance.

3. Newsflash! It is not you, terrible driver, around which the sun revolves. Try parking like a normal person next time.

4. I guess a person needs a lot more intelligence than you have to avoid parking sideways like that.


I guess the receiver may be insulted if they're still awake by the time they finish reading.

I don't think she's funny, either.

calpix, you said exactly what I was thinking.

Her avatar says something like "We make smart people laugh", but I can tell her that I am a smart person and her cards most definitely don't make me laugh.

But what do you expect from a copycat?

I'll go on the record as saying that NeatThings is the single most irritating person on the forums. And I must not be smart, because I'm not laughing.

I love her latest closed thread asking why it's important to disclose all your Etsy accounts. Too bad her cards aren't as funny as that!

I agree with calpix. I know someone who, when she speaks, sounds just like those cards. She also thinks she's funny... but she's not.

I wish NT would stop posting in the forums.
