Dear Strung-Out Woman at the Corner Store,

Firstly, let me state the obvious.  Drugs are bad.  Get off them for your own sake and for the sake of those around you.

Now onto the specifics of this evening.  I understand that you might be frustrated that the fireworks you bought at the corner store weren't all you'd hoped they'd be, but that's really not the store's fault.  I mean, I'm not sure that the finest fireworks are to be found in the same place that sells supposed aphrodisiacs from the counter anyway, but given that it appeared to me that you tried to light them while they were still in the box doesn't really help, either.  The guy at the counter is correct: they don't make them and they're not exactly a returnable item.  That's pretty clear.

Still, leaving the store and returning several times simply to swear and threaten to blow him up aren't really the best ways to deal with your frustration.  Besides, if you want to blow him up, you're likely working with a level of logic right now that would prompt you to try and buy explosive fireworks to do the deed at the store you're aiming to blow up.

Perhaps it's time for you to go home, sleep off this trip you're on, and maybe things will look less critical in the morning.

I hope you had a good Canada Day yesterday.

Sincerely, Me
