Dear loser who swore with kids around and then sold drugs out in the open next to my kids last week: You're a loser and karma is going to get you in the end. Love, David Gough. - --- Here's the back-story. We had to update our health cards at the government offices located at Sarnia's Bayside Mall. While I was waiting (I was number 54. They were serving number 17) my kids and I walked around to kill time. This is when Loser Guyr came in. He walked three feet away from us, picked up the public phone and made his call. His message was short and to the point. "I'm at effing Bayside. Come and effing get here." Oh, and one other thing. He was loud. Since the phones are for job seekers looking for employment, I thought maybe he was telling potential employers he was ready to start working. Takes a lot of guts to use a government phone to set up drug deals. Sigh, our tax money at work. I gave him a dirty look, but Loser Guyr didn't notice because he was focused on something else, and was oblivious that my kids were literally three feet away. I don't mind swearing. Heck, swear all you want, but it has a time and a place. The time and place isn't in a government office at noon with kids around, Loser Guyr. If that had been the end of the story I would be cool with it, but Loser Guyr being Loser Guyr had to top the cake just 15 minutes later. We were in the mall deciding where we were going to go for lunch. I saw Loser Guyr walking towards us. He quickly did a drug deal with some teenagers just three feet away from my six-year-old daughter. My kids didn't notice, but I did. I was so shocked I didn't know what to say or do. I will give Loser Guyr credit, he was quick. The transaction was over in two seconds. Mr. Loser Guyr, if you want to deal drugs, hey, all the best for you. But can you do me a favour? Can you deal drugs somewhere away from my kids in a public place in broad daylight? Is that too much to ask? Drug deals are dangerous. You always hear about drug deals going bad. You never hear about drug deals going good. Oh well, I guess I'm going to let the whole thing slide, although, I do have to go to the mall again next week to do some business. Maybe I'll see Loser Guyr walking with his baby mama and his kids. I'll stop Loser Guyr and ask him for (fake) directions. I'll ask him in a loud voice in front of his kids for the way to get to effing criminal court. I'm positive he's familiar with the place. - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
