Sometimes I get pissed off. We all do. For me, this most frequently happens when I think companies are doing business dishonestly. However, I'm a little different from most people. When I get pissed off, I write letters to explain why. Most of the time, I get either no response or a canned response, but sometimes it solves the problem. With society's increasingly frenetic pace, the angry letter is something of a lost art. I hope that the following tales inspire you to keep it alive.

Pemco wants my business or, marketing gone terribly awry

sex, drugs and video games or, a legislature gone mad

free floppy drive or, just send in the rebate.

dirty old man or, filthy transgressions in the library

We're protecting your privacy or, doublespeak meets marketing

Cancelled or, how not to rebook a flight

Desperation or, "a high demand vehicle!"

Crystal Ball or, the hotel bill from hell

Correspondence with Wilx or, HST insanity

We'll Fix This Our Way or, my phone doesn't work

Sure, Come On Down or, slimy car dealers
