The Honesty's Too Much
FOUND by E. Meyer
in Indianapolis, Indiana
Found this at the local credit union on the table where you fill out your deposit slips. The best part? At the moment I found it, the bank's Muzak started playing "Sometimes When We Touch"! How appropriate.

Bob and Sue... such generic names!
However I think everybody knows where THIS is going. I wonder where Bob went for three days?
And what is the estimate to repair this damaged relationship? $380.25, plus the cost of a phone call
"And if you don't know what's wrong, then I'm certainly NOT going to tell you. Hmmph."
Good use of a "While you were out" slip.
Note that Sue only "seem"s upset. Makes me wonder if she really cares. Men can be so stubborn and dumb when it comes to women!
At least Bob will get half of $380.23 to make a fresh start!
I HATE WHEN THEY SAY, 'I WOULDN'T BE SO MAD IF I DIDN'T CARE.' THAT IS THE FATTEST LINE OF HORSE SHIT.
I HAVE REMORSE FOR BOB IN THAT HIS WOMAN IS A PSYCHO, EMOTIONAL BITCH AND HE'S POOR.
I find it funny that Bob obviously read this and was basically like, "Oh well" and added up his deposits on the same paper. Hahahahaha!
BTW - Bob is bad at math.
what's with the "I'm sorry too" part? you can't make a point & try to deliver guilt with poor grammar.
So she couldn't find any better scrap of paper for this note? Maybe this just shows how angry/hurt Sue was, she just grabbed the nearest paper and wrote down what was on her mind. Maybe even at work...who has these "while you were out" pads at home?
My best guess? Probably some stupid miscommunication...isn't it true how easy it is to get worked up over something simple?
The part I like best is how Sue gets all e.e. cummings-like and makes small "i"s.
"...and i probably wouldn't seem so upset if i wasn't emo..."
Hey Becky,
201.81 plus 178.44 DOES add up to 380.25.
Evidently, Bob has already tried to apologize if Sue is "sorry too." Is it time to bring back the "judgenmental bitch?" I think so. I hate arguing via scribbled notes and sneaky emails, grr.
At first I thought it said, "and I probably wouldn't seem so upset if I didn't come."
I thought a call to Dr. Ruth might be in order.
His math is good, his 5 just looks like a 3.
adding it up:
no it doesn't.
yeah....that totally looks like a "3" to me. sorry.
I HATE when women have so little faith in themselves they revert to passive agressiveness. Come on! If you're pissed - state it - deal with it - move the fuck on. Agree with SALT - that last line is a fat load of bullshit.
it sounds as if bob was not very perceptive of sue's feelings and told her in some confusion that she seemed upset and that's why she explained it. maybe. who knows? obviously not bob.
Why is "is on your mind" all squished up, and the note is signed there? Looks like she was all worked up, and wrote "pick up a phone and say what", then on re-reading realized that didn't make sense. Darn emotions.
Only in this time of widespread sin would any of you sinners condone this sad, unholy behavior.
Just kidding. What a great find and an even better glimpse into what must have been a hellish relationship.
Wow. Reminds me of the scene in the Simpsons movie (I saw it last night) when Homer comes home from the bar and says "Well, I've let her worry about me long enough!" only to find Marge gone. Why can't people just be up-front and save themselves some heartache? The sad thing is, I give them even odds of still being together.
One wild night with a dancer named Chocolate Thunder: 201.81
Liquor and Cocaine: 178.44
Finding out that Sue still cares even after I've stolen her credit card to pay for my night of debauchery: Priceless

Twinkies???
LOL! I don't know what I like better today - the find, or the comments.
SO many things came to mind with this - about love, office relationships (Bad Idea) and how to say Good-bye.
Looks like Mr. Bob got a pink slip.
I think that the note originally ended with "pick up a phone". If you look at the 'a' in 'and', you can kind of see a full stop - which would explain why the last bit is so squished up to the signature.
As though Sue had to clarify what Bob should have done with the phone once he had picked it up! Ha!
......Cost of your 'gain' for telling Bob to get lost: $380.25
It's not much, but I bet it feels like a million. Sue can do better.
transubstantiating nearly made me spit Dr. Pepper all over my monitor. 'if I wasn't emo' hahahaha I love it.
I think that even though Sue says there's nothing to talk about, she CLEARLY still has some shit she wants to say to Bob, and has been waiting for him to call. And when I imagine her delivering the "i probably wouldn't seem so upset if i didn't care" line, I picture her leaned back with the back of her hand pressed to her forehead, using her best 'this cross is soooo heavy' voice. Blech. I hate when chicks (although to be fair, I've dated my fair share of guys who have the martyr act mastered) act like this. I hope Bob didn't call because he was on a three day binge with a group of hookers. Hot ones. :)
Wednesday - what is grammatically incorrect about "I'm sorry too"?
Mmmm...Twinkies....
Sounds like Sue wants Bob to beg and that's not cool. Bob said he's sorry, so why continue to try to make a point? "I'm sorry too but..." isn't really a counter apology, it's just a vehicle to continue to beat up on Bob. Maybe Bob needed three days to figure out how he felt? Maybe Sue could have sucked it up and called Bob? We'll never know...
I just cannot relate to Sue, the relationship, or this note. I actually thought this was a pretty boring find until I read the ocmments and checked the math. It would have been a better find if the 5 had been a 3.
Also, I don't understand what's grammatically wrong with "I'm sorry too," -- is it supposed to be "I'm sorry, too," as in "I'm hungry, sad, stupid, too-tall-for-you AND sorry? Or "I'm sorry too," as in "Like you, Bob, I'm sorry too."? If the latter, I think it's grammatically correct, isn't it?
I was actually thinking that this was the first find in a long time where everything was spelled correctly, except for the lower case i's at the end which indicate how small she feels.
i sometimes write lower case i's like that when it's too much trouble to hit the shift key. but sue wasn't typing.
I just don't think Sue is very interesting, and it's no wonder Bob didn't call her for three days. He's probably not very interesting either, though.
oups not ocmments. comments.
i will melt both of these losers with my heat vision!
Lovers is right, Sue even switched pens and seems to have lost some of her thunder for the last part of her note. Maybe she realized that Bob doesn't give a shit and she's tentative about saying she cares because she's afraid of what's really on his mind. C'mon, Sue,kick his ass!
Also, I HATE that song that was playing on the Muzak.
Unclear, there should be a comma before "too," as in, "I'm sorry, too, but. . ."
I don't think that comma is necessary. It wouldn't be wrong for it to be there, but it is not absolutely needed.
Seems like Sue did something that pissed Bob off. Then Bob was all pissy and didn't call Sue for 3 days and then acted all passive aggressive until it finally came out what he was all pissed off. Sue admitted she was wrong but was upset that Bob didn't just talk to her about it in the first place. I do think there is room for reconciliation, though. Sue was mad in the beginning of the note and then stopped writing, came back feeling better and left the door open for Bob.
She brings up two very good points, no matter what the situation is. One about the phone, and the other about showing she cares.
Sue needs to move on.. Bob wouldn't have called without this note, and if he does now, well.. who wants a guy that only calls 'cause you've guilted him into it?
Move on, Sue, move on.
I am having a spam protection free day, whoo hooo!
I think that Bob's just doing what every guy knows... waiting 4-5 days. I mean, games in relationships are pretty cool, so Bob was simply buying in to the age old method of letting the woman sweat a little, feel the absolute need to break the silence, then make the first move. Bob is basically amazing because he gets her to talk herself out of her anger and say she cares and that's why she's upset. wow. cool.
I read this as "and I probably wouldn't seem so upset if i didn't COME"!!!! hahahah no wonder she/he seemed so upset!
I once wrote a scathing F**k you letter to a psycho emotional dweeb that would not leave me be - then mailed it without a stamp, but put the recipients address in the return address spot, so it made it's destination and didn't cost me one thin red cent. Now that's the way to ditch a fool.
Bob didn't have shit to say to you so, being the old school guy that he is, he won't pick up the phone. Phones are only for emergency use. If he wanted to talk to you, he would have paid you a visit. He didn't feel like paying you a visit, therefore, he's Just Not That Into You. Read the book. Author: Greg Behrendt. You may learn something and learn not to be so emo. You're welcome. buh buh now
excellent break up tip. Gotta luv it, I promise not to tell my friend's dad, who's a postman. Makes me wanna break up with someone out of state, just to say I did it.
wow... these comments are so enlightening. Not about Bob and Sue (fuck them, I think they too are boring. What's wrong with Robert and Suzie or something? Two syllables are more interesting than one... Damn Hoosiers... I mean, hell, Rob is more interesting to me than Bob.)
Anyway, go back over the comments and read them. Most of the obvious girl comments are "Fuck Bob! You can do it girl!" and most of the obvious boy comments are "Fuck Sue! She's a overly dramatic bitch!" Ah, such a case in sex studies :)
THAT'S PRETTY BAD-ASS, POPTART.
I GENERALLY SAY WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID AND FROM THERE ON OUT IGNORE THE 346346 CALLS I RECEIVE A DAY FROM THE LUNATIC DAILY.
IT HAPPENS TO ME FREQUENTLY. IS THERE ANYONE THAT CAN HANDLE MY AMPLE AMOUNT EXCELLENCE WITH OUT TURNING INTO AN EMOTIONAL NUT?
Maria has got to be the biggest bitch on here. Judgenmental Bitch that is.
Bob's reaction when he got this note: shrug his shoulders and stuff it into his pocket.
Bob's reaction two days later when he needed a scrap of paper for his math: oh, this is that note from Sue. Whatever.
Bob's reaction after 3 weeks of being frowned at and avoided by every woman he sees: frantically digging through his pants pockets looking for Sue's number, wishing he'd let her hang on his nuts for a bit longer until he had a sure thing lined up.
Bob's reaction after finding Sue's number but before calling her: pure, unadulterated self hatred.
SALT - I feel you. I tend to bring out the "forever" and the all feared L word in man...which will always see me running for the hills. A TRO sends a message like no other.
I agree that she's being passive aggressive, however, my gut says that Bob isn't that big of a deal.
If Sue did get pissed and told him as such, would'nt we be then judging her for being "a bitch" and being so harsh? My bet is yes - we would.
I'm glad he didn't call. I'm glad she's letting him go. That whole relationship had disaster written all over it.
He's an ass, and she's a psycho.
I DOUBT IT WAS A DEEP AND LENGTHY RELATIONSHIP, RUTH
FOR ALL YOU KNOW THE NATURE OF THE NOTE ISN'T ROMANTIC
Fuckin-A, Bob. Had you called on day 2, everything would have been hunky-dory. But, no, you had to wait 3. You insensitive bastard.
Sue's a raging bitch.
SALT - that was just my poor attempt at humor. Plus, I know a Bob and Sue and well, it pretty much applies.
For all we know, it was romantic. Or the tail end of some office political drama that ended very badly with someone being fired.
We could speculate on the premise for days. That is what makes it so much fun.
Aw gee....do you suppose Sue was a "Rules" girl? Gah! "Don't call him - wait for him to call you - if he doesn't call in three days, dump him - he's just not that into you!" GAAAAAH!
Sue? Um, Bob's just not that into you, or you would've gotten a call.
Bob? Sue's just a little TOO into you at this early point in the relationship, so unless you want to be picking out china on your third 'morning after breakfast' - I'd just say that 3 day trip to Vegas was just 'beyond your control' and be done with it.
My take on this find today is more of corporate problem.
S- "You got me fired on the biggest account I had! All because you didn't call me back with that information, nor did you forward the proper PDF for me!"
B - "Uh, oh...well, sorry. I didn't get the text message. I am sorry - that's a tough break."
S - "Yeah, well, I'm sorry too. If I didn't care (about my job) it wouldn't matter."
Glass ceilings and all that rot.
Odd, I read this like a note from a sister to a brother after some blow-up that happened at a family gathering (perhaps a birthday?) where some squabble broke out over Bob's lifestyle (or other choice) that sister Sue thinks is destructive.
But I could be wrong.
PopTart - LOL ! I love it! That is CLASSIC !
You rock.

What's a TRO?

It does seem like Bob was given a three-day deadline to respond to something, and didn't, because he's a lazy bastard or a dick, which really screwed things up for Sue, who is one of these women who clearly just cares too much.
Great find. I love the intriguing emotional content on the back of a pink phone message pad, not to mention the lower-case letter "i's," as if Sue really just didn't have enough ego-strength to go with a capital "I."
PopTart--I LOVE your idea for mailing the break-up letter. It makes me wish I had discovered this site before my last breakup. I think I could have handled it so much more creatively. :)
SHE DIDN'T CARE TOO MUCH, REJECTED. SHE WANTED HER WAY AND WHEN HE DIDN'T COMPLY SHE DID/SAID WHAT SHE COULD TO MAKE HERSELF LOOK LIKE A VICTIM AND GET HIS PITY
SHE'S SELFISH
Sue, I'm sorry I'm three days late with the child support. $201.81 was all I had in my checking account. I had to borrow and scrounge around in my seat cushions for change to get the rest. I'll get the other half to you as soon as I can. You seemed upset the last time I talked to you, but can we talk about how high this child support is?
I like the contrast between the female emotional expression and the male practical calculation.
Missing in action, you're comment wins today's prize!
For three days it didn't occur to him to call . He just did his own thing and was oblivious that she might still be upset .Bob said he was sorry , thinking that it would solve everything .Now he doesn't understand why she's still talking about the same thing .Next , he'll get defensive about why she can't accept an apology and storm away in a huff for another three days .I'm pissed at Bob .
no, i don't think so
is a grammar diplomat. Very cool.
COME WHERE?
Salt asked, "IS THERE ANYONE THAT CAN HANDLE MY AMPLE AMOUNT EXCELLENCE WITH OUT TURNING INTO AN EMOTIONAL NUT?"
Stick to your list, Darlin'
huhuhuh.......Unworthy....heehee...heeheeheehee..yo comment was 69!
Breakin tha LAW! Breakin tha LAW!!
Sue sounds more resigned than anything and as if she already cut Bob loose.
Maybe he fell off the wagon again or is dating some tramp and she doesn't want anything to do with him. three days after their big fight he shows up at her job--of all places!--repeating over and over that he's sorry and asking why she's so upset with him. what is she going to do except scribble him a note and get him the hell out of her workplace.
This kind of looks like my aunts handwriting.
Story of my life, Blow.
Perhaps Bob didn't think he could say what he needed to say, and by the time he mustered up the courage to actually say it, Sue was too far gone. I mean, you know, maybe. I'm not talking from personal experience or anything... ahem, I'm gonna go. Oh, one last thing.
Dearest Pop-tart, get out of the toaster before you burst into flames! Seriously, read your box labels.
I just don't see Sue as a bitch, SALT. Passive aggressive, yes? A little pathetic, maybe. She's only got one recourse which is withholding whatever Bob wants now, which is sad.
LOOK, REJECTED, I KNOW HOW VINDICTIVE AND CONNIVING WOMEN WORK. SHE'S A BREED OF BITCH, GOT IT?
[sigh]- All this bickering...I'm just happy that the last two finds have had good spelling...and correct math to boot.
MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE ILLITERATE. ODDS ARE, YOU'RE GOING TO RUN INTO THEM DAILY IF YOU SO MUCH IS TAKE A STEP OUTSIDE OF YOUR CRUMMY APARTMENT.
BOO FUCKIN HOO
This find reminds me of the people that used to live next door. They'd have these fights where we could only hear the wife screaming, and really couldn't hear the husband at all. One time she screamed "How DARE you apologize!!!!"
Man, there's no exit from that one...
Well - there's plenty of exits from that, but if you want to resolve the argument ration...ah never mind...you know what I mean.
she cares but won't talk about the problem because his time limit expired?
Megan told me about this website. I can't believe after all that we went through on this, you have the gall to post this on a website where anyone can see it. I had to be told by a co-worker! We're right back we started Bobby. Paying me that last $308.25 for the nose job I BOUGHT YOU would help. This is ridiculous.
I saw "Bob and Sue- the Later Years" at an outdoor market here last Saturday. Sue was looking at something in a bag that Bob had purchased and was yelling, "You stupid twat!". He had probably picked the wrong kind of apples or something.
Exactly, jesse in FSJ - Bob's time limit expired. I, for one, totally give myself time limits for how long I will honor my ex-lovers' attempts at making nice. If three days is all she gave him, my guess is that Bob was a sucky boyfriend to Sue.
Go Sue!
