Dear Current Occupant of My Former Residence on Rowena Street,
Busted. You realized that, as you stood at the door, hair in one towel, another wrapped around your LA-too-skinny ass.
I really tried to do this in the most civilized manner possible. I left a nice note. You didn't respond. I went again, with hopes that you would be home this time. You were.
Some advice, seeing as you're young and still living with roommates and clearly a Troglodyte and not a very nice person:
1. When the UPS delivery person brings a package that is NOT addressed to you or to anyone you live with or to anyone you know, DO NOT sign for it.
2. Said package is likely a gift from someone very dear to the intended recipient. It may be a gift, such as a silver box engraved with the intended's name on it for her 40licious birthday.
3. Because it is highly unlikely that your name is also Vanessa McGrady, this box will be of no use to you.
4. The sender will feel crappy that she went to all that trouble and wonder why recipient did not send a thank you note. At best, she will think recipient a thoughtless fool. At worst, she'll go over and over in her head all the possible reasons recipient could be mad at her. Which there have never been. We are talking about a 39-year friendship here.
5. If you must sign for packages that are not yours, at least send a thank you note.
6. When the clearly concerned intended recipient shows up at your door to explain the problem, in the nicest way possible, do not call her "babe." Especially do not call her "babe" repeatedly.
7. When you live in a major metropolitan location, do not answer the door in a towel. There are plenty of crackheads with crowbars and creepy magazine salespeople and pent-up Jehovah's Witnesses waiting for an opportunity like that.
8. You have to deal with your own karma.
9. Save up your pennies, girlie, and get a one-way ticket back to whence you came. Because being the kind of person you are, you will not make it here in LA. Or anywhere.
I hope this helps.
Love,
Vanessa

You are cracking me up! I take it this chick in a towel got a package that was meant for you...and uh wasn't your birthday like in March...and just, what, kept it by the door thinking Vanessa McGrady will show up sooner or later?
Oh Man. Glad you posted this...if for no other reason than how CLEAR headed you are about how AWFUL This person is.
Not to mention... isn't it illegal to take and open other peoples' mail???!!? I believe it is a federal offense. Let her know that little morsel...
