Rant #1 - Greeting Card Envelopes
Why the heck do they make greeting cards in every conceivable size so that only one unique envelope can go with that card? Once they are separated both useless, and they aren't even attached when you buy them. Even if they came in hundreds of sizes there is no number or standard code for greeting card envelopes like there is for business envelopes so they can't be purchased separately even if you wanted to. It would even make sense if the cards were cheap but you had to pay extra for the envelope that fit it. Why not just make the %^&* cards and envelopes in standard sizes? Meanwhile, here I sit with a stack of nice cards and a stack of useless envelopes.

"There are indeed many more "standard" size for greeting cards than for business letters to account for the variety of artistic expressions that greeting card publishers prefer. However, every greeting card is sold with a matching envelope, and you should make sure that you have the envelope before you purchase a card. Sometimes when people browse through cards they accidentally put the card back in the wrong slot, thereby temporarily "losing" the matching envelope.
If you can't find the correct envelope, ask the retailer to assist you."

I am surprised that someone from the Greeting Card Association replied, but I am not surprised what they replied. It is as acurate and useless and Microsoft Help.
Ditto for toilet seat covers.
