Like Kristen, we tend to get a ton of correspondence from people wanting us to know about their latest product or website that is just super awesome and original and something we should inform our audience about IMMEDIATELY. Almost all of them go the way of the “Delete” button, but today I decided to reply to one. It wasn’t because her line of children’s t-shirts with lefty slogans on them are “new and fresh” as she described them (sorry, honey, they’re not), or because we would be a “great match” (whatever that means), but rather because the business owner described herself as a “spankin’ new SAHM”, and as a fellow independent small business owner I thought I would see what exactly she wanted from us. So I responded, and as I’m not one to mince words I sent a perhaps terse response:
Not to sound glib, but what exactly would we be a “great match” for?
I received this reply a few hours later:
oh, oops, i meant to email the imperfect parent, not the asshole parent. sorry ’bout that.
With great PR skills like that, she’s going to go really far.

I wish I had your balls, just to get a response (and the subsequent blog fodder) like that.

C’mon, Scott– if a cranky smartass isn’t a great match for you, then I don’t know who is.
