People fall into two categories when it comes to multi level marketing: They either recognize that it’s a bullshit industry, or they’ve invested thousands in a company and are not making the money they thought they would make. Who is buying into this?—Perplexed

Space bun princess
I saw you at the most recent HomeBass. You were dressed in green neon and grooving effortlessly on the dance floor. I took your cool neon sunglasses and you slapped me for it. I think I fell in love right then and there. I hope I see your red hair at another event, you’re truly something […]
Pick at home and cover your mouth
Seriously? You believe the best place to pick at your fly bites and scabs is at the bus stop and on the bus? Not only were you picking—not scratching, but full on picking—your fly bites and scabs, but then you were wiping the blood onto your legs, arms and the bus seat. Come the hell […]
Bridge Commission shout out
To the lovely woman who saved us so graciously when we embarrassingly pulled into a MacPass Only lane: Your sweet customer service made our day! —Need glasses
A credit to humanity
Thank you, “Susan in Halifax,” for finding and reporting my credit card lost! You saved me from quite the hassle! I hope some good karma comes your way! —WK
Barbecue bigot
To the fat-ass who went out of his way to interrupt my wife and her friends while they were conversing amongst themselves in their native language to tell them that they should speak in English, here’s what you should do: Mind your own fucking business. I bet you felt like a real big shot harassing […]
Bad cat owners
This is the second time I saw your cat left outside, sitting on your doorstep in the pouring rain waiting to get inside your house. So, I decide to go across the street and ring your doorbell to tell you your cat wants to come inside. Then you tell me that it is ok that […]
Is rape not a crime in HRM?
Rape culture is, unfortunately, still prevalent in HRM thanks to the cops. The HRP and RCMP spend more time giving out traffic tickets than they do investigating and prosecuting the men who rape women. I should know: I was a victim of date rape. I immediately repored the rape to the police, gave a formal […]
Tired of businesses using same stupid voice greetings
Every time I call up businesses they usually all have the same stupid voice greeting telling you to “listen carefully as the menu items have recently changed.” Really? Who cares? You are wasting my valuable time. Just tell me the options and I will choose. —Stop wasting my time
I don’t normally like beards, but….
I know you’re completely off limits, but I can’t stop thinking about you. I realize I don’t talk to you much, but there’s a reason for my silence: You render me tongue-tied with one glance. Sorry for being so abrupt yesterday when you approached me. I’m a complete dork around men I find attractive.You’re the first […]
Be better
Last week the Coast posted a blurb in this section by someone who was expressing joy at the misfortune of others: An individual who found pleasure by reading about violence and vandalism. Perhaps that contributor’s time would be better spent looking within at the true source of their unhappiness. It is gross to wish ill […]
Just a thought
If you don’t value your employees’ mental health over the work, maybe rethink if you should be in charge. If your employee is anxious or depressed at work, maybe take a second to think: “Am I causing this? Can I help them?” Maybe, just a thought, try giving a shit about the people who are […]
