I told you I loved you last night. Fuck I'm an idiot. I hate myself. Now I can definitely never see you again. —This sucks

I don't give a flying fuck if the leggings you were wearing on bus number 1 on Thursday night were in style or not. I didn't need to see your crack and the outline of your granny panties after enjoying a nice date and dinner. I am NOT against fat people I just would appreciate those who can not wear leggings don't. You were a beautiful faced person, just dress for your shape! —Please do not wear leggings again

It was close to 4am on Spring Garden: My friends and I are trying to get a cab, with the whole other slew of club-goers who invade the street post closing time. Okay, cool, waiting for a cab isn't my bitch- it's an expected part of my weekend night.

What happened after we got in the cab was what really boils my blood. My friends aren't from Canada and all speak fluent arabic. The cab driver, also arabic. We're all chit-chatting, weee this is fun. Somewhere along the commons the cabby got a call- apparently from his nephew in Herring Cove. His nephew wanted to be picked up. The cabby then proceeded to TELL (not ask) us he was going to take us to Herring Cove to pick up this guy, and that he'd drop us off after. Uhhh... Ok. I didn't really care until he said he'd be leaving the meter on since we were already making him go out of his way (Clayton Park). WTF? We said no, that wasn't fair, and asked to be taken to our destination first. He said no, and continued driving. Disagreement escalated until he stopped the car on a street I'd never been on, and kicked us out.

The cab drive would've been close to (or over) $45 if we had let the cabby do what he said- there was no way that was fair. I didn't get the cab's car number, so I couldn't call the company.

I'm not sure why this happened- it wasn't until after my friends said where they were from and that they had been drinking that this went down. News Flash! I'm from here and I was sober. And where do you get off throwing people who aren't familiar with the city and have been drinking in an area a local didn't even recognize? I don't think this was a race thing, but my friends insisted—a lot of people from their country are known for having a bit of cash to throw around. Was it the cabby thought we were loaded and wouldn't care? Was it both? All weighed in, it doesn't matter why it happened (even the 2nd cabby agreed): YOU'RE A DICK. —Hope your car breaks down

The power was out here in Bedford on Monday. I came home around 6 pm to find the water off also. I thought it had something to do with the power outage. I called the water company and they sent a tech out to see what the problem was... they couldnt find a problem until their office informed the tech that it seems I owed $329 on my bill.

There was no warning. No letter. I had no idea that this was going to happen. So on the day the power went out here in Bedford and one of the coldest days of the year they decided to shut my water off too WITHOUT WARNING! When I phoned them they told me I should have received a notice in AUGUST! Here it is 5 months later and my water is off. I had taken my child to the doctor the day before and he was diagnosed with stomach flu. Can you imagine having a child with stomach flu at home and you can't flush the toilet let alone give him a drink? You can bet he was dehydrated.

By the time I realized it was due to a delinquent bill it was after hours and I had no way of paying it. The company was not able to turn my water back on even though I had the money to pay for it. But a tech was able to come out to see what happened to my water. You do the math: a tech to turn off my water, a tech being sent out to find out what is wrong with my water, another tech to come out to have my water turned back on, how much would this cost? How much is it to have an operator phone me up to let me know that the water would be turned off if I did not pay my bill? I would venture to guess that the amount spent on this situation cost more than the damn $329 they were seeking! —Argghh

What does it say about companies that choose to use expensive vehicles as company vehicles. Just last week I saw a Land Rover, Hummer and to a lesser extent Honda Element all sporting company logos. A company vehicle is a great way to promote a business and enjoy some business tax credits. That being said the general public would be fools not to assume the expense of these luxury vehicles is factored into your operating budgets. Do you really need a Land Rover SUV as a company vehicle? —Some people notice this stuff

You've been given this title because you seem to think that manning the fryer is the only thing you are required to do at work, besides play with your phone. Simply put, you are a jerk. In the year we've worked together, we have never gotten along, and you like to refer to me as a "pussy bitch" any time I work up the balls to tell you off. I'd be perfectly content seeing you fired, and ceasing to make my blood boil, which I would go to the ends of the earth to make happen. You don't deserve to be employed by anybody with half a brain! I know you'll never read this, "bro", but someday you're going to set me off and you will hear about it in person. To boot, you're a womanizer, having stolen the girl I'm into, after you fucked and chucked her, went back to your ex, and somehow won her back a second time. I hope my secondhand smoke gives you the cancer, and that both your body and soul rot. —A real man

I enjoy taking my puppy for daily walks and not a day goes by without seeing some other dog's crap. I have to try avoid stepping on it and keeping my puppy away from it. Seeing it once is annoying enough... but seeing it four to five times on the trail is a bit much. If you can't pick up your dog's poop... you really shouldn't have a dog. —Tired of crap

So our friendly neighbourhood CRTC has yet again shown it exists not to serve the needs of the good people of this country, but rather big corporations. They've decided to give the big guys the green light to charge WHATEVER they want for overage fees. What's the problem with paying what you use, you ask? In principal, I have no issue with that, if that was the case but:

1 - It's not paying for what you use. They're going to charge a flat fee for a certain amount of internet usage (i.e. $59.99 for 80GB) and then however much they want to charge extra per GB used. No credit for under-usage.

2- 80GB is great, right? Well, 80GB roughly equates to replacing cable with an online movie/tv streamer (apprx 1Gb/hr) and not using internet for anything else (i.e. internet radio (1.4Gb/day), videos, downloading, etc).

3 - Digital cable uses a hell of a lot more bandwidth than anything you would do on the internet and comes over the same line. So not really a hardware problem that justifies the additional expense as the big guys would have us believe.

I'm ok with charging for what you use, if this were the case. But the problem is it's anti-competitive behaviour because most of Canada has no choice but to pay the same companies for cable TV, telephones & cellphones, and internet.

The internet is poised to kill off both the cable tv businesses (via things like streaming media content) and old-fashioned phones (wired and cellular) and these guys don't like it.

So this is one way for the companies who are clearly grasping at straws to not only get a piece of the action but to control the game.

CLEARLY anti-competitive behaviour.

So even if you've decided, like me, to get rid of cable TV and perhaps subscribe to an online streamer; well, they're determined to get my $ one way or another.

And I'm PISSED OFF that it's not big news. WTF?!?! —Sick of this bullshit

I don't want to so much bitch but make public a thought I had yesterday. There is no real cab stand at the bridge terminal, and we all know the buses are super shitty, so if there was a cab hanging around I would 9 times out of 10 take it. I hate this weather. I hate waiting at the bridge. Cabs should be waiting where the money is to be made. Just my thought. —Likes to get places faster

I never would have expected that scumbag with the shit-eating grin, who killed that poor woman while driving 6 years ago, to have another lapse. Really what a shock... HOW THE FUCK IS HE NOT IN A JAIL BREAKING ROCKS, JUDGE? Come on, our courts are so fucked! This putz needs to be kept in a dark hole for a long time, and how did he get his hands on a car? Did his buddy not realize? The courts need to go after those who help these creeps, too. —Sick of that smirking face in our face
