Yes, lady with the fancy stroller in a certain popular coffee shop I really was reading the paper with my husband, enjoying a baby-free morning for once, almost like a date.

You came up to our table while we were holding sections we were reading, your arms stretched out ready to grab and said "Are you reading the paper?"... no dumb-ass, I'm just holding it to fan myself... Next time be more polite, don't interrupt and say thank you when you are given something (my husband was the kind one sharing, not me this time). I always share the paper... with kind, polite individuals... not rude, entitled people.

Oh, and next time be more careful, your kid was almost out the door and into traffic, thank goodness your coffee drinking companion was paying attention. Next time buy your own darn paper, and let me have 5 minutes to read my own. —Mommy trying to have a coffee break

As I read my copy of the morning paper, I am very sorry to hear of another person drowning in Nova Scotia... BUT WANTING TO FENCE OFF THE DEEP END OF THE SWIMMING HOLE IS FUCKED UP !

Its time for common sense to be brought back to the forefront of what is partly wrong in society! The deep end was marked by a rope. The deceased, who was not a good swimmer decided to go beyond the marker. That is a choice people, if he'd have drowned & there was a fence, then what? Fill the waterhole in? Build a roof over it?

Should the Government go around Nova Scotia & fill all lakes, streams, rivers, pools ponds etc to a 3 or 4 foot depth ? What will we do about the ocean? Put a huge wall around the Province at the 3ft-4 ft level? What about the tide?

Maybe, just maybe, we could 'use a bit' of common sense, & look at the fact a person who wasn't a strong swimmer, shouldn't have been out there in the first place. I am very sorry a young man has died, but putting up a fence in one spot doesn't make any sense. Learning to swim, IMO, does. —More

There is a proposal on the table from HRM Traffic to eliminate the 4 lanes of traffic on Herring Cove Road and go to 2 lanes but add bike lanes... I'd like to know who comes up with this shit... HRM Traffic claims that it will not affect traffic flow.

They must have a lot of rocket scientists working there who don't drive cars, they must drive bikes only. The real question here is "how does shit like this even get to the table"? —Badger One

You seriously think your hot shit don't you? You strut around with a smug look on your face. You act as if you think you're an A-list celebrity or something! But you're not. You are 36 years old and work as a fast food cashier! You're not pretty and you sleep around. Stop coming after my man...

Oh, and word is going around that you have the hairiest tuppy out there, you better do something about that hun! —Lawoman

Thanks for the coming decades of oceanic misery, assholes. —Fuck you

How dare you? How dare you and your fucked up friends treat our 63 year old mother like that! She is in pain and not fully aware of her surroundings yet you think that since you gave her room and board (charging her a rent that is too high for the shit hole you gave her) she is your slave!

She is not there to babysit your children. She is not there to cook for you, your kids nor your guests. She is there to spend her final days with her daughter and grandchildren. The way you speak to your asshole friends, and the way they reply, you and they act as though you are Mother Theresa.

Oh, and don't call me anymore with your asinine crocodile tears! It won't work this time. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!" —I am Ms. fed up with family!

Where in the Jesus Hell can a person find a supplier of raw (ie. unpasteurized) milk in this city?? I understand that it's technically illegal to sell the stuff, but let's be practical - people have hacked their iphones to do more insidious shit. If I want to take the supposed health risk of injecting pure, unadulterated bovine lactation into my goddamn VEINS, that should be MY call to make.

Seriously, what do I have to do here, meet some dairy farmer down at the pier at midnight with a wad of bills? Drive around the south shore flashing my tits for some hot, frothy love?? You can't throw a rock in this city without hitting six dealers growing cannabis in their fucking flower gardens, so why is this so fucking difficult?

I know it's big business's fault for wanting to keep as much agricultural profits in their pocket as possible, but MAN UP, dairy farmers! Or at least start making your own skyr, how about it? —NOT getting a raw deal that's for damn sure

We saw you, our neighbours saw you. We will watch for you, the cops and the fire departments are watching for you.

But I'd like to address the parents of the three teenage boys who so wisely started a fire behind Hawthorne School on Wednesday night at 12:45 and threw fireworks into said fire which subsequently launched at the houses backing onto the schools property. What a fantastic job you parents have done raising your sons! Worst case scenario is that they only would have burned someone (perhaps my baby daughter or our elderly neighbour) to death in their sleep.

I can only hope that one day at least one of you parents has to deal with one of your sons blowing their own hand off with one of their precious fireworks. Maybe then you'll realize teaching them a little respect and responsibility might have been worth your while. —Neighbourhood Watcher

I am an avid cyclist. It's how I get around this city when I'm not walking. Two things:

Get off of the sidewalks. We don't belong there! If you are too scared to ride with traffic, then walk or take the bus! The other thing: Use lights on your bike! Reflectors are shit. Front and back lights. Drivers can see us that way. —Safe & Smart Cyclist

Today I got off work at 4 and got home in the north end after 6. No #52 and no # 9 to be seen. I wonder how these drivers keep their jobs. —One pissed off rider
