One day at home, Gabi woke up and went straight to the coffee maker, as usual. She brewed the coffee. Then she reached up in the cupboard for a coffee mug. But instead of finding coffee mugs, she found a stack of letters!

One thing you should know about Gabi - she LOVES her coffee.

Hey Gabi,

Tall coffee mug here, remember me? I was your favorite travel mug to take coffee with you when you took the kids to school. Well, one day you left me in your daughter's fourth grade class, and guess what? I'm STILL there! This is very upsetting. I thought I meant something to you. Can we discuss this? Better yet, can you come get me now?

Your sad & left behind friend,

Left behind again.

Dear Gabi,

Ok, I've had enough. There you go, leaving me out in the cold again. You fill me up with nice warm coffee and start taking some sips, and then you go outside to see the weather, and then you leave me sitting outside when you get distracted by the mailman. I get all cold and shivery, and the coffee sits like an ice cold lake in me. I've just had enough of this business. I'm going on strike!

Your VERY cold friend,

I'm freezing out here!

Dear Gabi,

What's up with always picking me last? You wait until your favorite coffee mugs are all used, and then you FINALLY pick me. I'm tired of always being the last one picked. Everyone else always gets to go get filled up with nice hot coffee and sit around with you, while I'm stuck here in this cupboard. I'm finally standing up for myself. Can we negotiate here? Like, maybe pick me first once every week?

Your left out and lonely friend,

Left out again?
