When a job promotion opened up at my workplace and I filled in as acting-whatever for that same position—for the same pay with more work—and my boss took their sweet time with the hiring process, the job was given to a replica of its previous incompetent occupant. The irony is I’ll end up training this […]

Dazzling and delightful
BIG shout-out to my D&D group. It’s always the highlight of my week being able to spend a few hours with you, creating a story together. I thank you as well for all the emotional support y’all give me when I’m feeling down. I couldn’t ask for a better group of players and friends. — […]

Why’d you have to make things so complicated?
Just lead with, “This is a robbery.” That I had to ask, “Is this a robbery?” only served to cost you precious time and make the whole business needlessly frustrating for me. Clear, direct communication is key. — Smokeshop Cashier

Get your own space!
To the gaggle of entitled middle-aged women who took over my table at Humani-T Cafe while I was trying to read my Toni Morrison novel: At first it was just one of you who asked if she could sit at my table, since the cafe was busy. You hovered over me, and I felt too […]

Joy pillow has found a new home
You put a sparkly Christmas pillow in a tree with a note about how it was up for grabs. I took it and gave it to my parents—they love that kind of shit, and they loved the pillow (“maybe we’ll keep it out all year!”). Just wanted you to know that the pillow ended up […]

Goodbye forever/I need a dentist
I really hope that after you chipped my tooth you realized how terrible of a kisser you are, and also why this relationship is over. — Mistake From The Start

Another car bitch
Once again, walking to work I was cut off in an intersection by someone speeding through in front of me. Had I not stopped walking through they would have hit me. I looked at their faces to see if they might have just missed my presence there, but there were staring right at me, laughing […]

Ticket swap
I took my dad to get some blood work done this Saturday and it was a few hours wait. They serviced over 1,000 people, and my appreciation goes to the staff, who were very patient and understanding. However, the most thoughtful act came from a young blonde woman with a nose ring. After waiting for hours, […]

Shitholes, slumlords and sickos, oh my!
Apartment hunting in this city is a mess! Reading ads on Kijiji, you can’t even rent a room in this city for under 600 bucks. Now these landlords are getting real choosy. Ads say, “students only,” “girls only,” etc. Sounds like a bunch of perverts. Why does it have to be a student? Students can’t […]

Bathtub bitch
I‘d like to know what clinical moron invented the standard bathtub, which is a completely subpar invention for anyone above four feet tall who wasn’t born with a super-bendy gooseneck. Poured myself a hot bath to nurse my raging PMS cramps, but my knees, tits and most importantly my gut sticks out a foot above […]

You and my Air Miles at the NSLC
I was in a rush last year and just wanted a bottle of wine for company coming, and you offered to let me put your purchase on my Air Miles card. You were so incredibly cute and my gaydar kind of went off. I still think of you and how cute and sweet you were. — […]
