So today I received a Christmas card from an ex-boyfriend-but-still-a-friend, who I'll simply refer to as N.

It arrived "postage due."

montrealais laughs and says it's impossible to do anything else because it's so in character for N. He must be the cheapest person on the face of the earth. Even while we were dating, and I was making about one-tenth the salary he was, I was still the only one buying the other gifts at Christmas/Yule.

But even still, you have to wonder about someone who'd make an extra effort to ensure that the recepient of a Christmas card pays twice what you'd have to, just to save the money on a stamp.

For Christmas, I hope he's visited by three spirits who'll hit him over the head with foam baseball bats until he sees the error of his ways. But I have a feeling that if Bob Cratchett ever worked for my ex, Cratchett's salary would get cut on the grounds that he no longer had to feed Tiny Tim.

ETA: montrealais wants to mention that the card is very nice, and was sealed with a wax seal. Maybe he spent all his money on the wax seal?
