I have a small suggestion for retail stores about people shopping with a backpack. First of all my backstory: My physiotherapist has suggested I use a backpack instead of a purse, as I fell last winter twice and my back is still recovering. It’s easier than a purse and doesn’t put as much strain on […]

To the concerned motorist
I was walking to the bus stop a couple of weeks ago. As I was crossing a sidewalk with a walk sign on Oxford Street, some absolute moron whose windows were fogged-up blew through the oncoming traffic, narrowly avoided hitting a school bus and almost ran me down. I was furious, because in the last […]

More Halifax driver fury
It must’ve been hilarious to almost hit me with your car and watch me jump back because you weren’t looking. It’s really too bad you didn’t take up my offer when I asked you to get out of your car right then, or even the second time when you pulled up on me trying to […]

Cigarette fuckery
These new plain cigarette packs are fine and dandy, but why can’t there be a stripe on the cigarette to differentiate the tobacco part from the filter? The whole thing is just plain white. I’m smoking filter over here and never know when my cigarette is done. Also, those nasty pictures on the packs need […]

I never sang you a song

Tatted gym-goer in knee-high socks
To the tatted man who goes to the university gym: Interesting manner about you and I have to say I’m intrigued. Could have sworn we made prolonged eye contact (maybe I’m reading into it). Next time you’re in you should bump into me at the water fountain. I promise I’ll start the conversation. —A Gym […]

Phone Zombie!
Phone Zombie! Yes, you there, walking down the street staring at your phone! You are a hazard to navigation! Perhaps you are even performing wreckless endangerment by dashing into the street without looking? Yes, it’s true Phone Zombie, humans cannot walk past a mirror, window or TV screen without looking, even if it’s CNN. But […]

Trash-ass mumble music
Saw this popular singer with on TV—the woman with the black hair ends and bright green roots—and wondered what the fuss is all about? When did mumbling off-key into a microphone become a raving sensation in music? She sounds and looks wack. I have no idea why she’s getting commercial success, her music is nothing […]

Sidewalk etiquette
I was walking down the sidewalk today when I was literally forced off it by two women walking side by side. I had to step around their selfish asses and got a headful of water running off the shop’s eavestrough above, ruining my hair! Learn some sidewalk etiquette, people! If you’re walking down the sidewalk […]

Tanx bys
Love is alive in Halifax! My car battery died at the casino. One guy stopped with his girlfriend, but couldn’t get it going and my cables fried. Another guy also came over to help, but no luck. I headed to the casino’s front desk to call a tow truck, and the female employee suggested asking […]

Thank you for not driving
Let’s think about all of the common reasons why drivers get frustrated with pedestrians—they’re slow, they’re erratic and unpredictable, they’re distracted or inattentive, they don’t obey traffic signals, they don’t wear visible clothing and so on. (There are good pedestrians too, but we don’t complain about them.) Now let’s imagine those people driving the way […]

Pizza sauce
I need to get this off my chest. Pizza shops in Halifax: Your pizza tastes great, it has potential, but…and there is a but! You neeeed to start cooking your pies for longer or at a higher temp. The bready parts are almost raw, it’s so squishy and floppy. Like, it can be sort […]
