Hey Angie...

Maybe I'm being overly sensitive, but I can't stand the commerical currently running for the US Postal Service. In it, a nice, neighborly girl named Angie delivers cookies to her neighbors. At each stop, they give her items to take to the post office. At one stop, a rather disheveled looking man takes Angie's cookies, sticks them into a priority mailer, hands it back to her and then asks if she has any more. She just shrugs her shoulders, give a pathetic little smile and keeps going. Turns out it's okay because Angie has a secret weapon -- the USPS website.

But it's not okay and the degree to which it annoys me is almost embarrassing ( not enough to keep me from talking about it, of course). If it's so easy, why doesn't she give back the boxes and say, "Do it yourself jackass," or "You know what? I think I'll keep my cookies." Not one of these people is appreciative of the fact that she's doing them the favor. Angie is a wimp and, yeah, it annoys me, much more than it should.
