Dear wuzband,
In response to your text:
“The late fee is your fault for not communicating send some letter
without telling me I have no idea what it is and will not sign this time nor
next time and will not pay the late fee you created”
I have this to say:
A.)
I don’t have any obligation to tell you I’ve
sent you a letter. Do you require this of all your correspondences? It’s a
ridiculous thing to say.
B.)
If you choose to ignore or refuse mail from me
and the due date for the material subsequently passes, that becomes your
problem, your late fee. Don’t sign when I send you things, I don’t care. But if
a kid doesn’t get registered for school because of it, that’s your fault. If a
late fee is incurred, that’s also your fault. And if I send you the winning
lottery ticket - - ooop, no money for
you!!!
And
3.)Don’t refuse to accept a piece of
certified mail and tell me the communication problem is mine. I was
communicating via mail. You could have called, emailed or texted to ask me what
it was, but you didn’t. (If you wanted to know what it was, you should have
signed for it & opened it! What was it going to be? A ninja?) Refusing the
letter (supposedly because you didn’t know what was in it) & not calling to
ask what’s in it is YOU not communicating, not me.
Your attempt at argument is nonsensical. What’s with the
need to oppose rationality (and then write the check anyway)? That does not
make you look smart!! It makes you look like a little bully who just really,
really wants to fight with somebody for no good reason - - but is afraid the
boogieman is in an envelope!
For clarity, and for the entirety of the future, if I send
you something via certified mail, it’s probably something you- as a parent - need
to have, see, sign or otherwise handle, most likely for the benefit of your
child(ren) and most likely by a particular deadline (see, this way I have
third-party confirmation that I did whatever my part was. . ). After I have
done everything I can do, (and especially when you've done nothing toward it) just shut up and write the check! And you're welcome.
