Dear Drivers,
Just because it's Christmas doesn't mean you may dictate how much you charge your passengers. Gasoline is at its all time low for the last 10 years for sanity's sake! Isn't that enough compensation for the holidays? An additional 30Php is not right, and a 150Php fare for a 90Php journey is worse. Besides, you'll be getting a lot of passengers throughout the day wherever you go due to the Christmas rush.
Also, I must remind you that not only is this illegal, but choosing passengers is unlawful as well. Too bad our law enforcers don't do anything about it.
tl;dr: Fuck you, choosy drivers.
Sincerely,
Disgruntled passenger,

On Street Children Parents
Dear Parents,
I know it's really none of my business when you decide to fuck each other. However, I have been recently bothered by a few of your children, one dirtily sprawling around at our street, then suddenly touching me and asking for the ice cream cone I was eating. No, I will not give your child my ice cream cone. What irritates me the most is that the sucker was more persistent than the wart I've had for the last couple of years on my left hand.
I don't blame him, though. I blame you. If you cannot teach your children proper public manners, and do not have time to keep them from bothering other people, do not create more of them. It's like you people are child factories. Use protection if you cannot control your urges, and if you can't afford protection, do not copulate at all.
tl;dr: Keep your children away from me, and stop making more of them.
Sincerely,
Irritated Passerby,

On MRT3/LRT1 Grammar
Dear Metrostar,
I have two corrections for you to make, first on your MRT3 "tips":
"Tips" is a plural word. "Isang" is "one" in Filipino. You cannot use "isang" to precede "tips". The correct sentence to use "narito ang isang tip".
Next, on your warning label at the emergency button on LRT1:
The Filipino of "button" is "pindutan", since it seems you're having trouble translating it. Also, although you "push" a "button", you do not "tulak" it. You "pindot" a "button".
Please correct these mistakes so that it wouldn't seem like Filipino is an uneducated race, even though it really is one.
Sincerely,
Grammar Nazi,

P.S.
"Floor" is spelled with two O's, not three. It's nice that you're conserving the same pieces of paper for over a year now.

On Ungentlemanly Assholes
Dear Asshole,
You do not talk about women like that, treat women like that, especially when they're around even if it seems like it's okay with them. Even though I'm not one, I know it's never okay with them. You only degrade women if you can accept its aftereffects, one being you won't be able to be with one romantically. Yet, you still rant that you're not getting any. Of course you won't be getting any with the way you talk.
And even if one is not around, you still don't act that way if one is represented, i.e. someone's girlfriend or spouse is in the premises. Even though I'm not the direct representative of that particular woman, I know it still hurts them, being a representative myself of a different one. If your words were directed to mine, I would seriously punch you in the face. Leave that kind of talk when you're with an all-stag crowd of the same gender.
tl;dr: You're never getting laid, except maybe by gays.
Sincerely,
Refined Gentleman,
Inggo

On Late-Night Karaoke Singers
Dear Singer,
I know it's a particularly fun and entertaining pastime, and I admit that I sometimes enjoy a good karaoke session. But, please, consider your neighbors. It's okay to do this in the midday, or up to late afternoon, or even early evening. But it's not okay to do this late at night, and beyond midnight, nearing morning.
I wouldn't be so mad if you didn't suck so much. There are times it's okay to sing like there's nobody listening. Daybreak is not one of these times. If you really can't help it, sing somewhere soundproof, or at least in a place where the whole neighborhood couldn't hear you so loudly. Outside your house right in the main street is not a good place at those particular times. There are people trying to sleep, you ass. Your broken and ugly voice makes all the neighborhood dogs bark, if the noise your singing creates isn't enough to wake everyone up.
tl;dr: Do not videoke at daybreak, for sanity's sake.
Sincerely,
Restless Ranter,
