You think that it’s OK to hold children from someone who has done nothing, just because you feel like it. You hurt a five-year-old in the process by taking his brothers away just because you feel like it, and you didn’t fix your child’s teeth instead you went to Europe. I hate you. I wish […]

Many-faced blood-sucking parasites
Poly-ticks. Sigh. So another election is approaching, and again there will be endless rhetoric about poor voter turnout. There will also be the “if you don’t vote…” guilt trips: If you don’t vote you don’t get to complain. If you don’t vote you’re disrespecting the people who gave their lives for our freedom. If you […]
“Have a nice day” rings hollow
Nice sunny day, sitting outside a cafe on Spring Garden, was relaxing until a panhandler decided to stand in front of me and tell everyone to “have a nice day.” It’s like listening to a parrot. He couldn’t care less if you have a nice day, he just wants your change. If people would just […]
Loved your smile and style
Looking for a sweet-looking guy who gave me a quick smile on the #2 bus to Mumford 18/08/19. He had long hair in a low pony, a septum piercing, metal tee, green shorts and grey backpack. I sat across from him (you) and was chatting excitedly with my sis. This seems crazy to even me, […]
To the little gym that could (and the girls who work there)
What a relief when you came back, after two long weeks. You’ve created a safe space for myself and so many others, and I want you to know: I see you. I see the love that you all foster here, and am so grateful that I get to be apart of it. Being in a […]
Teacher hot for teacher
I was really enjoying talking with you, and after complimenting each other and confirming a mutual attraction, was going to suggest getting together for a coffee or a drink the next day. Much to my chagrin, you seem to have deleted your profile. If you’re out there and see this, maybe the song “Georgia on […]
Some summers ago
I was in line behind you to see that Miyazaki film at the Oxford while you were talking yourself out of buying an ice cream bar, and I bought you that damn bar. I just needed to see someone enjoy the little things in life. You asked to sit with me but I said no. […]
Dogs don’t talk human
I see it every summer. Stupid people who take their dogs out for walks in a heat wave in the middle of the day. Do you realize how hot that pavement gets on a blistering day? Your dog cannot tell you their paw pads are burning and that they’re suffering. Dogs are at the mercy […]
The dumpster fire that is Facebook grievance peddling
Wow. Just wow! What a clinical narcissist you are, princess! So you make a 3D ass out of yourself and we’re supposed to care why? I watched your insipid video, but sorry, Hon, the driver was right! I’m a parent, and a responsible one. Your daughter’s head was at seat level in that ridiculous toy! […]
Tailgaters
Listen up, arsehole on my car’s bumper as we drive the Prospect Road: I’m not going any faster and you can’t drive over me. You’re so fucking stupid, you don’t even realize that if you rear-end into my old clunker, you’re automatically at fault. So suck on my middle finger, Rushy McRushRush. —Tired Of Doing […]
Is sleep no longer important?
Since I’m sleep-deprived from my neighbour’s obnoxious children, I have time to submit this bullshit. I understand that children need to play, and some hyperactive children need to be more annoying when they play. However, just because it is the middle of the day does not mean that everyone is awake. You 9-5ers like to […]
Let’s be honest
I‘ve only known you two months, but I feel more comfortable around you than anyone I’ve ever met. You’re thoughtful, fun, intelligent and silly. I want to thank you for helping me change my lifestyle, and for all the fantastic adventures we’ve had. I hope there’s many, many more. —Arty A
