Soon it will be over. I have been limping along through this ordeal, catering to your narcissistic abuse. Soon I won't have to rely on you and I will be free of you. I just gotta hang on and kiss your ass a little longer. I hate you. I really do. —Dark Rosaleen

Remember when you said that? I laid in my room wide awake reading the messages coming in with a smile from ear to ear. Knowing I was the girl that drove you crazy, made me happy and also made me melt and wrap around your finger, which you have now incessantly manipulated me with. Lately, you seem uninterested, and every time I message you, you never answer back. It's mega confusing when you say you like me one day, and act like I don't exist when I see you out, then invite me over 3 days later to hang out with you and your friends. I'm writing this because I don't know if you enjoy head games, you're testing me, or you're just insecure and like having me close but not too close. I don't know how to tell you this without fear of losing you altogether, because the times we share are fun but it's starting to hurt. I've decided to treat you the same way you're treating me. In hopes it will help you feel how I feel. In hope's you'll realize you either have to let me go or be something I know you want to be but are too scared. You're attractive, humble and insanely smart. Stop keeping me on a thread because you're insecure with yourself. Because I don't have the scissors to cut the strings you attach me to. I'm just as vulnerable as you are. —Figure it out and let me know

To the grown man in line behind me to get into this evenings food truck party that decided the $2 entry fee was "absolutely fucking ridiculous". Your a real piece of shit, leaving the line to sneak in for free. Someone is willing to put together a community event where you have access to restaurant quality food from a number of different vendors, and you don't want to pay a very small fee to help with overhead costs? Instead of spending your evenings sneaking into such events, perhaps you should get a second job. I feel bad for your girlfriend, as she clearly doesn't feel comfortable enough to speak up to you and tell you how pathetic you are. —Toonies aint a thang

For the love of all that is sacred, please stop advertising your Christmas crap in September. Including the post-holiday advertisements in January this equals four months of being bombarded with tinsel, trees and toys and all the trimmings. FOUR MONTHS! All other holidays come with a few WEEKS of ads and merch being shoved down our throats, but four fucking MONTHS? This may come as a shock to all you freaking cash-hound companies and corporations but consumers are more than aware that Christmas is coming and we WILL be shopping with or without the constant counterproductive four month long harrassment campaign. —Shove your jeezly jingle bells where the sun don't shine.

I had the misfortune of dating an abusive prick for over two years. Thankfully, I got away two years ago. But today I'm reminded of how much I friggin hate his goddamn guts. Why? Because that prick cheated on me and gave me herpes. The drug company decided they weren't going to let another company make a generic brand of the suppressive meds I've been taking for three years anymore. My drug plan barely covers anything and I'm stuck paying $70 a month. Yes, I cried. I used to be able to pay five dollars a month on the generic brand. Big F U to my pos ex and to the drug companies. —Look stupid nothing

To all the guys I've dated and got either fed up with or board of; thanks for the cuddles and the resounding disappointment. To the guy who will finally steal my heart (and have the common sense to hold onto it); hurry the fuck up. I'm tired of waiting and buying a dozen cats is starting to sound pretty good right about now. —Future spinster

Your girlfriend likes to share her mouth. —is just sayin' old yet?

I would like to know why the workers in the Community Services (Welfare) office are hiding behind two windows of bullet-proof plexiglass as if their clients are criminals or second-class citizens requiring segregation. I also saw a large double mirror and a large sign warning the premises was under constant video surveillance. This is an office that is open to the public whose clients are out of work or down on their luck professionals, people out of work due to the economy or illness. These are people suffering from financial hardship, people of diverse ethnicity, elderly, hearing impaired people, disabled, single mothers, and low income students. While waiting over an hour in the waiting room to meet with an intake worker with whom I had an appointment, I noted that every single person who entered the office, acted politely and respectfully... even the gentleman who had been trying for over a month in vain to receive a cheque in order to pay his rent, said please and thank you. The workers behind the plexiglass brushed off his issues with an expressionless shrug and said someone would call him. His concerns fell upon deaf ears. Even I, dressed in a suit jacket, was interrupted when I asked the receptionist a question after waiting my turn in line. I was dismissed and told to take a seat as if what I was about to say did not matter. I looked around the waiting room, there were children's toys strewn about, a sign on the wall about the office being a "Respectful workplace" and pretty, colourful (yet very hypocritical) posters illustrating diversity. This office is situated in a medical centre. The other offices in the building and area are not secured nor are they under such surveillance. Your clients are members of the general public. You should not feel the need to put up bullet proof walls and lock all of your offices as though you are running a high-security penitentiary. We are not dangerous criminals. We have committed no crimes. If we had; we would be in jail. Why must I feel like an outcast of society because I need to receive the benefits to which my tax dollars have been contributing for over 15 years? Why must we, innocent and free citizens - HUMAN BEINGS endure such discrimination and oppression at the hands of our government? How dare this government office conduct business with such blatant and egregious oppression and discrimination. This segregation is disgusting! You should know that the law does not permit discrimination based on financial hardship, illness, ethnicity or unemployment. Perhaps you have dealt with irate people in the past and some genius thought such measures would be a good idea. Perhaps, you should treat people as human beings worthy of respect and equality and provide the assistance to which they are entitled - then maybe they would not become so irate. I used to earn $50,000 per year and I used to earn respect. I have never felt so low in my life because of your office culture of discrimination and the atmosphere of segregation you created and allow to continue. I recently applied for a position with Community Services (Secretary 3). This apparently "dangerous criminal /druggie /thief/ crazy person" might just soon be your new colleague. —Take down the walls - this isn't Berlin!

We were at a little place for lunch today but had great difficulty carrying on a conversation due to the dude two tables over incessantly spouting inane blather at his lunch guests in a very, very loud voice. Please folks, when indoors, use your indoor voice! You only have to be heard by the people at your table - not the whole damn restaurant! —Full of beans

Believe it or not continually being inconsiderate of somebody's time is not acceptable. It's not a rare occurrence with you, it's an expected thing now. The worse part is you act totally remorseless about it. I don't know if it's because I put up with it, or if it's because we're best friend and you know I'll still love you, probably both. Guess what? Being a flake isn't an attractive quality on anybody especially your best friend. —Break the habit it's gotten old
