I'm sorry.. I want to make sure I heard that right. So because I'm not Christian, I should feel like an ass for putting up a tree, putting gifts beneath it, giving to charity, eating hot, gooey food and being with my family? Or is calling it 'Christmas' what's eating you? What is it exactly that made you call me, and people like me, "BAD PEOPLE"?

Did it not occur to you that Christmas means a lot to MY FAMILY, FRIENDS and the people i love and that I am sharing this holiday with them because I love them and want to see them happy? That if they were Muslim and celebrated Eid, I'd do the same damn thing? Did it not occur to you that you slamming non-christians for having a christmas is about as stupid as someone slamming you, a non-pagan, for putting up your tree?

And furthermore, you know what? No. Nobody owes you a fucking explanation because it's none of your business, you nasty, sanctimonious, self-righteous busybody. Why don't you keep your holidays the way you want to and let the rest of us keep our holidays the way we want to? The world isn't here to cater to your specific whims. It takes all kinds to make a world.

The next time you want to discuss differences in human culture, why not use those discussions to bring people together instead of drive them apart? People like you are the reason fights start. They are the reason human beings get held back and do not advance. Attitudes of separation are the reason that things like hate, mistrust, racism and war still plague the world. And you call US the bad people because we do not belong to an organization? Shame on you.

So you know what? I WILL hang a stocking and drink eggnog until Aunt Bessie becomes funny. I WILL turn on coloured lights and put out cookies and stuff a turkey and give gifts to good people I love who seriously fucking deserve them and more. I WILL have goodwill toward my fellow man (because, of the two of us, only one lends herself to charity work at this time of year and it's not you...) and I WILL open gifts and feel happy. I WILL wish others a happy day on the street and i WILL dream of a white christmas and dancing goddamned sugarplums. And the next day? I WILL post videos of my happy holiday all over facebook and you can sit there and eat it. And there is nothing you can do to stop me. THIS Who will keep singing, despite your efforts to steal the holiday. —The Spirit of Christmas Fucking Present

This one goes out to the two ladies who told me to "move the fuck over to the other lane so we can swim together" just so happens that there was another lane available so that mixed with years of anger management classes I did so with out saying a word...to avoid conflict.

Added bonus: making sly remarks at me the duration of my exercise.

A+= Me not going postal
F-= them being douches...but clearly not knowing how to use one.

It's been 365 days.
Everyday, I think you and know I made the right decision to confront your two faced ass.
You can blame me all you want, go ahead.
But I'm the one that dodged a bullet. Thank God.
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

We were married... still technically are... but not together anymore. Having our three year old son refer to himself with the last name of your present boyfriend, and have our son call him "Daddy" is not right on many levels. I understand that you recently have had a love child with the boyfriend and have a new life but WTF? Why screw with the kids head like that? Are you trying to wash his brain when he is easily impressionable so he will be messed up and confused when he gets older? What is worse is that your and his family approve of this? What is wrong with you people? Seriously... that is a miserable thing to do to a child that you supposedly love. —Stunned by your behaviour

Everything else is closed. Even NSCC. You stay open. Staff have to risk life and limb, take a vacation day or lose pay because you have determined that it is safe for us to go to work. I imagine the fact that there are no students this time of year played a large role in this decision. I guess one of the south end universities didn't learn their lesson a few years back when an employee froze to death walking to work in a snowstorm when everyone else closed. If universities are the "employers of choice" then all hope is lost. —Life Risker

I find it ironic that the very people who cannot lift the water jugs to refill the water cooler are the ones that complain the most when its empty.Its not you that has to change it, and it takes a mere minute to replace. So you have to wait a little bit NBD be thankful your office provides a cooler, and that there are people who can actually replace the jug for you so you don't injure yourself further. —Back off would ya

Seriously. Have you ever even made a cookie before? I wish a CERTAIN COFFEE SHOP would just follow a damned recipe to the letter. No weird substitutions, no adding raisins, no skimping on the the good ingredients. JUST MAKE A NORMAL COOKIE. Stop making us eat these weird spread out messes or hardened pucks and have some respect. —I'm not even asking for pfeffernüsse or anything. Chocolate chip!

Why is it that whenever I am talking to my supervisor, you always come over and interrupt in the middle of our conversation? He's not even your supervisor...you have someone else you can talk to. You know you're doing it, since you preface it with "Sorry, blabla for interrupting but.... " Why do you think that your questions and time are more important than mine? Are you really that oblivious that you can't wait two minutes to ask your questions? Your social skills are severely lacking. —Annoyed

Hey dumbass: Believe it or not when a woman who's gone home with you happens to get her period on your sheets the classy move is NOT asking for money as compensation. I'd like to school you on how to be a gentleman or failing that break into your apartment and host a Pantsless Period Party for all my female friends. —Seeing Red

Nova Scotia weather can be said to be unpredictable, but, guess what Halifax – this ‘storm’ that we got – you know, that white stuff on the ground mixed with rain and cold temperatures – that was predicted!! So why does it seem like nobody was prepared for it?

It’s super hard and frustrating when you have to rely on certain things that are incredibly unreliable. Like, Metro Transit for example. I... was prepared for this weather, dear busses, why weren’t you? I left early to catch a ride on you and stood outside in the frigid cold waiting, assuming you were either going to be late, or early, as you generally are even when the weather isn’t a factor. That was stupid of me – because I waited for you for almost an hour, and there were other people that were waiting for you longer than I was. AND, while we were waiting, not one, not two, but THREE ‘out of services’ busses drove by us – awesome, not. It certainly doesn’t make you feel all warm and fuzzy when you basically get stood up for something that you’re paying for. The only thing it made me feel was COLD. Very, very cold!

This is exactly why 8/10 times I go to, or leave work, I walk, 40 minutes each way. I couldn’t do that today though, because it seems like you weren’t the only ones unprepared, the city of Halifax must not check the weather network, or maybe they didn’t buy any shares in salt, because you think the roads were bad? The sidewalks were 10 times worse. We pedestrians didn’t have a snowplough going down our walking path. What we had was something only the people heading to the oval were prepared for, in other words, a sheet of ice!! I’d rather be late for work than break a hip or sprain an ankle. And, that is exactly what I was, super late for work. —Monday sucks
