So there’s a 36 hour standard to clear sidewalks when it’s a fucking skating rink out there? HRM is knowingly and deliberately creating a public health hazard. One can’t help but wonder how those “snow removal” contracts were awarded.—Lousy smarch weather

“Kiss me” doesn’t mean “eat my face”
Dude. When I said slow down, I meant it. You split my lips in three places AND chipped my tooth. WTF! Going to work the next day (and week after) with giant, swollen lips was incredibly embarrassing. Please take some advice, Google proper kissing techniques and listen to someone when they say slow the fuck […]
I never told you why
Two years ago, we dated for about six weeks. It was my first relationship with a girl. I can still remember how fast you made my heart beat, how sweaty my hands got, how my words fell over each other. I wasn’t like this with guys; I secretly knew I was bi for a long […]
Internet creepin’
You added me on social media and I kinda felt bad for you despite your reputation as being a man to avoid. Turns out yes you should be avoided. Do you have a life? Or do you sit on your computer all day being a slime? Not my first rodeo with online men and, as […]
Karmic bitch
Hey, I was crossing on the light! You hang a fast left off Spring Garden Road and I am literally running for my life. Had I been 20 years older, I’d be another dead pedestrian. I looked at you through the drivers side window as you careened around the corner but your eyes were locked […]
Mug not welcomed
Tell me, this coffee establishment so dearly loved by Canadians: Why is it that when I bring a re-usable mug you fill your own cup to transfer to mine only to go ahead and throw it away? The whole reason I brought mine was to avoid yours going into the landfill! Honestly, if other coffee […]
To the farter at the gym
Not to sound like a bro, but could I kindly ask that when I am doing my morning exercises at the gym that you not fart near the weights? As you may or may not know, breathing is a huge part in getting those “gains” and…yeah breathing that is not pleasant. I would like to […]
Random acts of kindness
Shout out to the woman who paid for the groceries of the man in line behind her without telling him. He was in disbelief when I told him and it made both our days. Warms my heart to see there are people doing things like this!—The cashier
Keeping live music worth it
To the woman in the T-Rex cardigan: Thanks for making it so enjoyable to listen to terrible truths. I needed a reminder that live music—that a great performance—is a distinct way to experience music.—Practicing to sound as clear as you
Broken down in this town
I’ve been out of this abusive relationship for six months. I never reported what you did to me. I’ve been the one to step away from our mutual friends, who I love and which has been harder than our actual breakup. I’ve changed my entire schedule and life just so that I don’t have to […]
Wonderful hospital staff
I had a parent taken to the hospital for emergency surgery for this week. I was scared to death, but all of the hospital staff were so kind. Thank you so much for taking care of my family. I’m forever grateful.—Thankful child
Concrete jungle
Thank you to the workers at Purdy’s Wharf who, at 3am, had to deal with me stepping in their wet cement. I had had a long night and apparently became careless and disoriented in your work zone. You were so forgiving and friendly—and one of you sweethearts even cleaned off my sneakers with a sponge. […]
