Phone zombie! Why do you walk around crowded busy streets staring at your phone? Phone Zombie! You are a hazard to yourself and the general public at large. And you not only look like an insecure fool, you are an embarrassment to the human race at large. Perhaps stopping and moving out of the way […]

Our hurricane-ravaged city is NOT a Kodak moment!!!
As I stroll through our Dorian-defiled city, streets and parks chock-full of emergency workers, city employees, volunteers and scattered debris, amongst all of the people doing anything they can to help and others trying to salvage and repair what they can from the mess that’s been made, there is you, having friends take your photo […]

Sorry I scared you
To the #7 bus driver on Tuesday afternoon: Sorry I jumped in to ask you if you could call transit dispatch and report a bus with serious mechanical problems. It was leaking a lot of smoking fluid all over Gottingen Street, and I kinda panicked and must have seemed intense with urgency. You seemed worried, […]

Where are you?
Hey Mr. Postman: We stopped and talked two summers in a row on the steps to the beach. You had lots of time to spend there because of an injury. How about meeting again on Monday, September 23, rain or shine around 4pm? —Missed Chance Maybe

Shitty mental health system
Most of the medications they’ve given me don’t work, and most of their other treatments like CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) don’t work either, and I think that’s mostly because I was misdiagnosed. All that most of the medications do to me is make me stupid or sedate me—other than that, no benefits. The doctors even […]

Happy returns
Thank you to the person who picked up my bank card as I zipped out of the Main Street gas station off to Martinique Beach on Wednesday. After basking in the sun and floating in the waves, I went to buy a bottle of craft beer and discovered my bank card missing (thank you credit […]

I would love it if you found my bike bag on September 5, and will return it for a reward of $200. Please help me get my life back if you picked it up off the road. —Cyclist

Idle no more ya bastards!
I‘m a recording artist trying to lay down a track, but there’s been a big noisy stanky diesel truck idling outside my place for the last half hour. Turn off your engine and stop idling! Not only are you ruining the environment, you’re loud rumbling truck is bugging the shit out of those of us […]

Tall lady with dark hair
To the tall lady with dark hair who spoke to me today at the grocery store, saying you must really love your job bla bla bla and here’s to you. I know now it’s you who keeps drinking in the bathrooms. I know now it was you who put that beer can in the middle […]

Trees: you CAN have too much of a good thing
A big thank you to the guys in khaki from Gagetown, NB who arrived Sunday afternoon to cut my fallen tree down to size, done in 10 minutes, and neatly stacked curbside all ready for the HRM chipper. BUT I couldn’t help wondering what all this Hurricane Dorian clean-up is costing the taxpayer, much of […]

Love is love
To the lesbian couple holding hands on Quinpool Road last Friday: I was walking to school and passed you on the sidewalk. As a closeted teenager, seeing you made acceptance feel like a reality. —Thank You

Unfashionable hipster hoes
I keep seeing chicks these days that look so unattractive, who clearly do the most when it comes to fashion trends. However, they would probably look a hell of a lot prettier if they actually did nothing. Like for instance, I saw this chick that would probably look pretty cute, IF she hadn’t shaved off […]
