Who gives a prepaid Visa as a baby shower gift?! I need baby things, but you go and give me a prepaid Visa. Basically, you're telling me to go out and get my own shit. I'm 9 months pregnant and am extremely uncomfortable - I'm basically housebound until the little dude makes an appearance. And once he's here, he's going to be taking all of my time! You could have given me a package of diapers or bath toys. But I gotta go out and get my own baby stuff because you were too lazy to look for an actual physical gift. You know what, when I have my next child, you're not even gonna be invited to my next baby shower! FFS. —About to give birth

I'm a 37 year old guy. I have no car, no house, only make about $25K, and share a two bedroom apartment with my 26 year old sister and her boyfriend. On top of that, I'm not that good looking. I'm also a man with a big heart. I love my mother, I love my her dog, I love my friends. I would do anything for them. I would like a special lady in my life to treat like a queen.

Finding any woman who would look past my mediocre looks and low salary seem to be an inpossible feat for me. I've been set up many times, and it's the same thing every time. The girl is interested...until she finds out I take the bus and don't have my own apartment. So I make only $25K, I take the bus, I rent an apartment with my younger sister, and I'm only a 5/10 in the looks...so what? Are you women really that shallow?! I'm a really good guy who would treat my girlfriend with upmost respect and give her an amazing, safe and happy life. But that doesn't matter...I guess I need to face the fact that I'm single for life. Sigh. —Low paid dude without a girlfriend

If I dare express an honest opinion these days, it's met with confrontation and rage that I don't support every fucking lame-duck cause there is. Like most charities with top heavy administrations where the actual research gets about 5% or less. I'm sick & tired of public opinion, so tired of the self-righteous zeal & 'shove it down your throat because it's politically correct' sensibilities.

So, in future, don't fucking ask me about anything 'cause I'm just going to smile and nod. I will lie to you because that is what you want to hear or will avoid you totally. I will not engage with rage. —Sick of Big Flapping Mouths Who Say Zip/Zilch/Nada

I had been flying all day. Sick. Jet lagged. Finally got to sleep until your lovely screams to your friend Dylan woke up me and my whole neighbourhood up. I should have called the cops and let them sort out your irrational ass, but something about growing up in the ‘90s keeps me from being a narc. Your tantrum, screaming at the dogs on our street to shut up and going on and on are all proof that you are a garbage person and can't handle your alcohol. I hope you woke up with a huge hangover and feeling like the shit little girl you are. —Tired, Sick and Pissy

I'm pissed off about about late-night traffic lights. Around midnight, many of the lights go to "flashing red" mode, on the assumption that we all go to bed by 11:00 and so the few drivers remaining shouldn't have to wait the 60 seconds or so that it would take for the traffic lights to cycle. And not just at minor intersections, but major ones like Oxford and Quinpool. This might be fine if we were living in a hamlet of 100 people or so, but this is a CITY, for Pete's sake! Add to the confusion the students who increase our population each September, and who may never have encountered this strange phenomenon before, and you are looking at opportunities for perfectly avoidable collisions. —Savage Narce

I've got nothing against medical marijuana. If it gets to that point, I'll take it. However, do NOT say to the guy with stage IV colorectal cancer, “Dude, you're so LUCKY—they'll give you a medical marijuana card, no problem.” This is a good way to get yourself kicked in the nuts by a guy with cancer. Maybe your new testicular pain will be 'lucky' enough to get you your own card. —The Guy with Cancer

Hey dog owners: when asked to keep control of your off-leash dog in public spaces like parks and beaches, maybe instead of responding with “he is friendly/just curious/only saying hello,” you could consider that some people aren't comfortable around dogs. Just as you likely wouldn't be comfortable with my tarantula crawling toward you on a park bench, despite it being completely harmless. The animal's behavior/nature is irrelevant. It's not up to you to get over your discomfort of large hairy spiders to accommodate me. It's up to me (and dog owners) to think of others and control our animals. —I Like Your Dog, Just Not in My Crotch

Once again the Halifax peninsula has been screwed in the ass by (naming no names, per the Bitch regulations) not-yet-retired councillors from other parts of HRM. Oh, yes, the Willow Tree is a perfect location for a 29-storey building—because it's not in this person's riding! I am seriously considering not voting in the upcoming HRM election, since whoever I vote for will be outnumbered by rural council members who don't give a shit about how poorly Halifax peninsula is developed or governed. Maybe it's time to give up the Regional Municipality idea and go back to a smaller, more representative city government. —Savage Narce

Could whoever is leaving recycling bags on my curb please stop?! Every Tuesday you illegally dump your weird blue bags in front of my Agricola property. Why don't you put your dog wash and empty creamers in front of your house? Are you a downtown business avoiding the $10 recycle fee? I don't care! Pick another house to bother. It's been four weeks! —Ticked-Off Homeowner

Just using my break at work to submit a bitch. I want to thank metro transit for making my night terrible. Thanks for making me late for work. You never came till almost an hour later. My coworker takes the same bus as me and told me you didn't bother leaving when you were suppose to. By the way she was late as well. I wanted to give you the benefit of a doubt and thinking maybe there was an accident on the road. Anyway thanks for making me walk on a unsafe route. I had no cash for a cab! My seniors at my home want to thank you for that as well. —Unhappy health care worker
