Jenn Martinelli vows to take on the bitchy Phillips Street lady who has complained to the city enough about dogs in the Phillips Street park that the city is now sending an animal-control officer down there:

... I hear you have been writing lots of letters. Really? I don't think you've seen lots of letters yet bi-atch. I have plenty of capacity to write letters, and emails, and so do plenty of other people.

Mike Mennonno shows us what's still growing in the Fenway Victory Gardens - and provides a bonus deconstruction of uber-hipsters that now glower from behind the counter at the Brattle Bookstore:

... The New Hipsters are to the old hipsters what genetically engineered superviruses are to the common cold. ...

Jeff thanks the person who let him into line at 7:38 this morning so he could buy his commuter-rail pass (the one he'd forgotten to buy earlier) and get on the 7:40 train.

Maybe it was karmic payback for the guy who punched Jason in the chest on the train. Or for Amtrak's Northeast Corridor service, which the Subway Knitter vows never to use again.

Jennifer Jones nears the breaking point:

... I'm fully irritated that at every single party I've been to recently the conversation has turned to myspace. Seriously people, this is not an interesting topic of conversation. ...

Hmm, wonder if Jennifer travels in the same circles as Laura:

Anali is getting annoyed with fellow T riders: Why do people feel it is okay to rest their paper on my body?

... One time, I actually said to the man, "Could you please move your paper so it doesn't cut me?" He glared at me. What is wrong with people?

Jennifer Garrett finally scores some French Toast Twists at her local Dunkin' Donuts (a shortage of French Toast Twists? Who knew?). While there, she watches a near-confrontation between a customer and some DD worker sweeping the parking lot:

Jenn Martinelli and dog are at the park on Phillips Street around 10:30 last night (park is open until 11). They begin to leave; the dog barks at another dog. Crazy lady opens her window and yells at Jenn to get her dog out of the park before she calls the police. Lady doesn't know you don't mess with Jenn:

Oh, I don't think so bitch.

"What are you going to call the police about?" I yell back.

She says, "There's a lot of barking and it's very late!"

Jesse Kanson-Benanav is on his bike, trying to cross Commonwealth Avenue just past the BU bridge (on a green light), when one jerk student on a bike runs the light and narrowly misses him - setting him up to get broadsided by another jerk student on a bike:

Jo wishes to inform the little princess in the tin-can subcompact that, ultimately, tin cans are no match for big Tacoma pickup trucks:

... I do hope little Princess that you enjoyed my high beams as much as I appreciated your Masshole wave of your middle finger.

I do so hope that we meet again.

Yup wishes the chick on the Red Line would get the damn giant red bag off her shoulder:

... I understand that you are on your way to your 'high powered' paralegal job and/or internship where I'm sure you're learning a lot about 'business' or law offices or something. But, you see, I don't care. You fake bag is poking me in the stomach. I don't like to be poked in the stomach. ...

Yahoo Answers has marked this question as resolved:

His Boston Accent is taking over my relationship?

When ever we go out, people are always making remarks the way my boyfriend of 4 months talks. I like it but it is getting to be a big hassle.

The winning answer? Basically: "Oh, grow up!"

From nosy cat lovers to nosy dog-loving freaks, something seems to be getting into the local pet chow.

No, people are not deliberately jostling you as they get on and off the train. Nor are they trying to hit on you. Honest.

Spatch gets to ponder this existential question over two incidents in a single day.

Single Girl in the City and boyfriend return from a visit with the 'rents in the vastnesses of Montana to a ride home from Logan with a cabbie who thinks they don't realize he's taking them for a ride:

On RealFake Blog, Ezra snaps and says he's had enough of the guy who plays the one-stringed instrument in Harvard Square:

... At first I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He's simply a virtuoso whose art simply sounds cacophonous to my untrained Western ears. But the more I saw him there, with his Kleenex box for donations, I came to a hypothesis that, no, he's just some crazy guy sawing manaically at his one-stringed instrument. ...

Amy: They are cheap and aggressive. Not like those nice guys down in Providence.

Jenny provides the easy rule:

... [P]lease feel free to pull out your cell phone during a 40 minute wait for a bus (which is an entirely different rant) and repeatedly 'test' out every single one of your 57 grating, ridiculous ringtones. Oh, and by all means, please do set your phone volume to maximum, because that's so necessary. ...

Before questioning why the T feels it needs to bribe people to be nice, Spatch lists some people who need some special courtesy lovin' - such as people with iPods CRANKED ALL THE WAY UP and BU students who wear their backpacks on crowded trains:

...What I really want to do with these backpack folks is carry around a Barrel O' Monkeys toy, and if they insist on dangling their backpack in front of me, I am going to see how many monkeys I can dangle from their backpack without them noticing. ...
