Dear Valued Customer: When I ask how your day is going and you snap “just looking,” it takes every thread of self control not to punch you in the throat. News flash: I don’t actually care whether your mom died five minutes ago or you’re getting married tomorrow. I’m just doing my job. If you […]

Secret Santa
Thank you for my bottle of wine! It is greatly appreciated, especially after the day I endured today. I don’t know which one of you it was from, but thank you. —A Grateful Colleague

Joy to the world, Uber has come
I would love to share my general joy with the good people of Halifax, and my ultra-special joyous delight with the good hearted, kind, nice, fair, decent, moral people of the city’s taxi commission. I would love to see their faces when Uber and Lyft are in the city, rendering the existence of their office of extortion […]

Backpack or plastic bags? The trouble with shopping with a backpack
I have a small suggestion for retail stores about people shopping with a backpack. First of all my backstory: My physiotherapist has suggested I use a backpack instead of a purse, as I fell last winter twice and my back is still recovering. It’s easier than a purse and doesn’t put as much strain on […]

To the concerned motorist
I was walking to the bus stop a couple of weeks ago. As I was crossing a sidewalk with a walk sign on Oxford Street, some absolute moron whose windows were fogged-up blew through the oncoming traffic, narrowly avoided hitting a school bus and almost ran me down. I was furious, because in the last […]

More Halifax driver fury
It must’ve been hilarious to almost hit me with your car and watch me jump back because you weren’t looking. It’s really too bad you didn’t take up my offer when I asked you to get out of your car right then, or even the second time when you pulled up on me trying to […]

Cigarette fuckery
These new plain cigarette packs are fine and dandy, but why can’t there be a stripe on the cigarette to differentiate the tobacco part from the filter? The whole thing is just plain white. I’m smoking filter over here and never know when my cigarette is done. Also, those nasty pictures on the packs need […]

Tatted gym-goer in knee-high socks
To the tatted man who goes to the university gym: Interesting manner about you and I have to say I’m intrigued. Could have sworn we made prolonged eye contact (maybe I’m reading into it). Next time you’re in you should bump into me at the water fountain. I promise I’ll start the conversation. —A Gym […]

Phone Zombie!
Phone Zombie! Yes, you there, walking down the street staring at your phone! You are a hazard to navigation! Perhaps you are even performing wreckless endangerment by dashing into the street without looking? Yes, it’s true Phone Zombie, humans cannot walk past a mirror, window or TV screen without looking, even if it’s CNN. But […]

Trash-ass mumble music
Saw this popular singer with on TV—the woman with the black hair ends and bright green roots—and wondered what the fuss is all about? When did mumbling off-key into a microphone become a raving sensation in music? She sounds and looks wack. I have no idea why she’s getting commercial success, her music is nothing […]
