To the person in my apartment who keeps calling me “scuffy:” Yeah, I do scuff my feet, but I do have a name and there is a lot more to me than that. It just hurts even more that your kid thinks this is funny and thinks my name really is scuffy. Most of us teach our kids not to make fun of people with big noses or too short or whatever, but it just looks really bad when the adults are setting a bad example. —Fed Up With One-Sided Presumption

I say this as an out and proud lesbian.....WTF is with all the rainbow crosswalks? One crosswalk to show support is wonderful but not necessary, the rest are a total waste of money. Why don't we save that money and put it towards LGBT+ youth homelessness or trans rights or any one of the many problems that are still facing our community? Rainbows are nice but don't let them fool us into believing our work is done. —How Much Did That Cost Anyway?

I am glad so many people are enjoying this game and getting exercise et cetera. I've nothing against the game or the players who are crushing it. I'm just SO SICK of hearing about it. I caught a Voldemort today! Today my Piglet hatched! So mind-numbing, ugh. —Rock On

To the lowlife at the Pride parade who decided to light a cigarette two feet from our toddlers and a newborn then loudly proclaimed, “We were here first, suck my dick!” when I politely asked he move it away from them: Had it not been a community event with my kids, I would have reacted with much, much less restraint. I usually wish lung disease on no one, but for you I'll make an exception. P.S. Your friends and your community are ashamed to be around you. They told me so themselves. —Daddy No Punchy Facey

I don't understand how creepy dudes stay popular in this city. We all know this shit about them, yet folks continue to frequent their stores or shows and remain friends with them. Can we PLEASE have a zero tolerance policy for men who we KNOW are sexual predators?? They shouldn't be allowed in our spaces—I can't believe this isn't obvious. And women who rush to protect your male friends who get accused of —who are you protecting? Is your friendship more important than the safety of women? Believing survivors means holding your own friends accountable, too. —Survivor Who is Having a Seriously Hard Time Getting This

Who decided that Griffin Pond in the Public Gardens should be infested with ugly plants and eternal scum? This pond used to be lovely relatively clear body of water. Now it's a sludge pit of slime. Brilliant. —A Griffin Pond Lover

When you screamed in all our ears at your excitement for the drag queens but then just as loudly BOOO'ed the participants you didn't like, I think you were missing the point of the event. Inclusivity is what those events are all about and if you feel the need to shriek your disapproval for the police, teachers union, SPCA, et cetera—when they are all united in their support for the same cause—you should just stay home next year. —Irritated Bystander

I've known for a while you're a CD I would've cared for you enough to accept you for who you are; however you didn't accept me for who I was. —Judge me not: Leo

Hey friends. I get it, your job is not the best. Probably either temporary or something you are doing on the side. I always leave a 15% tip on delivery (not 20 as I am usually charged for the delivery anyway), But listen...I don't want to hear you complain about how busy you are. That makes me not want to give you the tip, you know? Like I just want to pay for my stuff and for you to go on your way, I don't want to hear a diatribe about what company ordered a bunch of pizza and why that means you are busy. I literally had one pizza guy who was BEGGING for a tip, not knowing I was going to give one automatically anyway. Whining about how busy he was and 'oh gosh, geez, we're so busy today and this and that' ... stop trying to guilt people into tipping you. For real, it is super pathetic. —Just want mah food in mah belleh

Let's give 'em their own lane. There needs to be some right-of-way. Multiple times I have gotten off the bus that was stuck on North and busted my ass to get to work in the sun and still been late. Our bus system frustrates me, I want my $2.50 back. —SweatyPissedNLate
