Dear anonymous guy,

I realize that few things suck more for a cyclist than having another person tie their bike not only to the shared lamp post, but also to your bike.
I could understand the need for petty revenge by also tying their bike up and going home, even though I don't really think it necessary. After all, with the post being right next to a huge cinema and the law school (i.e. lots of bike at any time of the day), chances are, that it really was an accident.
But do you really think that tying up the bike and leaving a note with your phone number serves any purpose but creating more work for you? It's you who's getting a call in the middle of the night and has to walk back into the city instead of checking tomorrow on your own time.

Regards,
the person who just had to wait 20 completely unnecessary minutes (and I am really sorry. I've got nothing against you or your bike, but with those hundreds of bikes at that place, things like that just happen)

P.S. Not that you will care, but this actually helped me to calm down after the suckyness that was The Exorcism of Emily Rose

"The internship programme is free for qualified candidates. The position is not salaried."
I beg your pardon? You want fully qualified vets to spend a year working for you, often more than 12 hours a day, in addition to nights and weekends, while working on their dissertation at the same time. And you won't pay anything?
Look, I don't expect to earn enough money to pay for a place to live *and* food. But, you know, every other hospital I've seen so far offers at least something. Interns in Edinburgh lived in a small flat at the clinic for the year (actually, I think they even got paid). The hospital for internal medicine at your uni pays at least a small amount. Probably more symbolic than helpful.
But nothing? You've got to be joking.

I refuse to earn less than a cashier for more work in addition to five years of vet school.
Acutally, I probably will work for less. But I won't work for nothing. (See me give in and work for free in five months)

Sister's stupid boyfriend just threw a hissy fit over the fact that the rehab is soooo far away (30-45 minutes drive) and he can't stay with her overnight.

You'd think trying to get her back to being actually able to *move her hand* would have priority, but no, the most important thing is that he can't live without her.

Idiot.
