You ever notice how greeting cards can be a minefield of awkwardness? I mean, you go into a store, looking for the perfect card to convey your feelings, and suddenly you're in a battle of wits with a piece of folded paper. I bought a sympathy card once that said, "Sorry for your loss, may they rest in peace." Solid sentiment, right? Well, the problem was, the card had a picture of a cat sleeping on it. Yeah, because nothing says "condolences" like a cat nap. I handed it to my friend, and he looked at me like, "Did your condolences come with a side of catnip?"
Seems like greeting card designers are just throwing darts at a board of emotions. "Oh, congratulations on your new baby! Let's slap a picture of a stork holding a football. Because nothing says 'future athlete' like a stork in sports gear!"
It's like playing emotional roulette. Spin the wheel, and hope you don't land on a card that says, "Happy Anniversary! May your love be as eternal as this picture of a sunset that looks suspiciously like a burning marshmallow.

You ever try to decipher the hidden meanings in a greeting card? It's like cracking the Da Vinci Code, but with glitter and a rhyming dictionary. I got a card that said, "May your dreams reach for the stars and your heart touch the moon." What does that even mean? Are my dreams aspiring to be astronauts? Is my heart auditioning for a romantic role in space? I just wanted to say "Happy Birthday," not launch a SpaceX mission.
And why do they use metaphors that would confuse Shakespeare? "May your love be like a rose, beautiful but thorny." So, my relationship is a flower with self-defense mechanisms? Is this a romance novel or a warning label?
I need a translator to decode these cards. "May your journey through life be as smooth as a gravy boat." What? Last time I checked, gravy boats aren't known for their smooth journeys; they're known for getting stuck in Aunt Mildred's mashed potatoes.

You ever receive one of those generic greeting cards that could apply to anyone, anywhere, at any time? It's like the card is trying to play it safe, but ends up being the Switzerland of emotions. I got a card once that said, "Thinking of You." No specifics, just a generic "thinking of you." Thanks, Hallmark, for covering all my bases. I could be in the middle of a breakup, winning the lottery, or just stuck in traffic, and this card has my back. "Thinking of you... because, well, you exist."
And don't get me started on those "Just Because" cards. What does that even mean? "Just because it's Tuesday, just because it's sunny, just because I remembered you exist." I want a card that says, "Just because I didn't have anything better to do at the store."
It's like they're afraid to commit to a specific sentiment. "Happy birthday? Nah, just in case it's not your birthday. Congratulations? Nah, what if they failed? Just because? Yeah, that's safe. Just because you're a person on Earth.

Greeting cards are like the therapists of the stationery world. You can confess your deepest emotions without saying a word. I bought a card once that said, "I'm sorry I was wrong," and I just handed it to my wife without a word. It's like outsourcing my apologies to Hallmark. But sometimes, the cards are a little too honest. I saw a card that said, "I didn't forget your birthday; I just wanted to prolong the celebration." Nice try, but I'm pretty sure forgetting and procrastinating aren't the same thing.
And then there are those cards that try to be funny but end up being brutally honest. I got one that said, "You're not old; you're just well-seasoned." Well-seasoned? That's what you call a steak, not a person. Thanks for turning my birthday into a culinary critique.
