I read the Loves all the time hoping someday one will be from someone who noticed me on a bus or at the grocery store and wished they’d said something. Many of these are clearly written about my friends or people I know who get noticed in a “missed connections” kind of way and maybe it’s […]

Willow Tree mess
Dear HRM politicians and staff: The Willow Tree intersection at Robie and Quinpool needs a roundabout! Having five streets with stop lights makes for a complete nightmare. Fix this. —Midnight Idler

Kind gesture on a bad day
Today I was let go from a terrible job, however I was still an emotional mess. My Macpass fell from my windshield due to the heat and I couldn’t find it fast enough. The toll employee was not the most understanding person. But then YOU offered to pay for my toll. Thank you for showing me […]

Locked away my stress!
Thank you, kind stranger, for picking up my wayward house key and tying it to a light post on Windsor Street the other day! There were only a couple of places it could have been dropped, so I was worried someone had kept it for evil. Thank you <3 —Library Bug

Bikes, lanes and automobiles
Do all jackass drivers in this province get a driver’s permit, regardless of incompetency and stupidity? I drive, walk and use my bicycle in good weather. I’m 63, and I have seen/experienced my share of close calls and collisions. While cycling in a bike lane in Halifax (during daylight) over the Labour Day Weekend, a […]

Killing us softly with sodium
I just had a cheat day from my diet and boy, was it a mistake. After clean eating for a few weeks, I bought a bag of potato chips. OMG what a sodium bomb! I feel my blood pressure rising with every bite. Why is there so much sodium in everything these days? I bought cheesies […]

Bitch better have my money
Why the FUCK does it take so damn long to get a PayPal into my account? It’s 2019. We have the technology to put a man on the moon but we can’t get a bank transfer to happen instantly? For fuck’s sake! Banks are so annoying, I should just keep my money under my bed […]

Very considerate bus driver!
You were driving us on the route #7 down Robie Street towards downtown at around 10:30 Sunday night, and you stopped at the bus stop in front of the Esso at Young and Robie. You then got up and walked towards the back of the bus, and politely woke up the guy to let him […]

Shitty owners
I would like to dedicate this bitch to arrogant, entitled, think-your-shit-don’t-stink hospitality owners. Owning a restaurant doesn’t make you special or above the rest of us humans, so fuck you. Owning a restaurant doesn’t give you the right to yell at staff, so fuck you. Owning a restaurant doesn’t give you the right to force […]

Napoleon vs boxer vs snowball
Once a team of healers needed some bored people to help them have a building and keep the lights on and health care and living wage for trauma-response workers. After the bored listed their volunteer role on their CVs, a bored member said: “Why should we believe those workers? They say their caseload reflects violence […]

Cider dad travel guide
To the guy we met on our first night of vacation: It was heartwarming to hear about your adventures as a father. You seem to put a lot of work into giving your son the best life. Thanks for telling us about the sloth exhibit and for inviting us to crash his birthday party there. […]

To the drunk panhandler in big-box land
I sure hope the Editor PRINTS this, since you’re too stupid to use the internet! You told everyone that you were getting your knee fixed, and you were going to get a job. But you are a liar. You got your knee fixed, and continue to stand out there in front of the stores at the […]
