Hold the phone, stop the inquiry, pull the plug on any further reports to be written ... I have figured out the Car- Pedestrian Collision Problem in HRM!! Today (Tuesday) I was driving down a busy Spring Garden Road at 5:30pm (some may call this traffic hour), and one of HRM's finest steped out in front of my car. He was not at a traffic light, there was no crosswalk, and the traffic was not even stopped (well until I had to suddenly break to avoid him). Way to go police man! You are a great role model for all the other pedestrians who need to learn the rules of the road. Perhaps if the ones who are suppose to be enforcing the rules would follow the rules themselves, we would have a smaller problem. —Problem Solver Extraordinaire

Wow HRM, you've done it again. What a surprise- you're stepping on artists' toes once again. This time you're outright stealing an artist's brand that she's been building for years. Damn Hali! Pretty bold move, indeed. —Fan of the real BE BOLD HALIFAX

It is frustrating to see a brand I love being highjacked by people with money who know better. Shame on you, you probably own some of that brand. —Someone who understands basic fieldwork

Hey Bus Driver, what is the difference between a bull elk, and you driving a brass quartet to Bedford?

With the bull elk, the horns are in the front and the asshole is in the back

—next time, don't make ignorant comments about my tuba, you prick.

WTF? I'm trying to adopt a dog but all I can find are AmStaffs and Amstaff mixes. Are these dogs so gdamn dumb that they are forever running away, or are Pit-bull owners the worst goddamn kind of dog owner in this province? —looking for a lab mix that doesn't have pitbull jawls

Don't get your hopes up. He's still done with you. I hope to fuck you've moved on. —S. T.

I was awoken at 3 am last Saturday by the terrifying howl of a drunk guy who's foot had just been run over by a taxi. I have had my own foot run over by a car in the past and realize that the young man's reaction was exaggerated. Being awoken with such a fright meant that my Saturday productivity was not its best. If you cannot drink and exit a taxi like a full grown man, kindly do not attempt to do so around me. This sort of behaviour is disrespectful and narcissistic to say the least. —Exhausted in Halifax

I'm highly amused with the uneducated bitches lately. The ones that really get me are the ones that stress how drivers are over paid. First of all, my boyfriend has been with transit about 8 months now and as a new employee he makes about 20 bucks an hour. Not to bad right? Wrong. after about 500 dollar union, medical and other deductions his take home pay is less than my serving job at a hotel brings home.It actually makes it nearly impossible for him to pay off any debt and leaves just enough for bills and a bit of leisure. Also, with this 55 or some odd dollars he pays per pay just on medical for himself with no dental, we can't afford to have a family plan with dental which costs around 175 per pay, therefor the 6 or so cavities I still have must be paid for out out pocket by yours truly. Now that we've got that portion of the bitch out of the way, lets talk about the job itself. I can't even count the amount of times he has come home to bitch about your self entitled, dehumanizing asshole ways. He is one of the most light hearted and positive people I know, but becoming a bus driver has meant that while he's at work he has to put up with a lot of your garbage. Rightfully so he has learned not to put up with any of it. You don't make it to a bus stop when he's passing and want the doors open 10 feet from the stop? 400 dollar fine he's risking for your ungrateful ass to get on the bus with not even as much as a thank you. So don't be surprised if he shakes his head and keeps driving. This is just the tip of the iceburg. Being told off for doing his job the way he was trained, being ignored when he greets people onto the bus and overall loud and disrespectful behavior being shown to him while on the bus is a daily occurrence. His first week on the job he was blown away with how drivers are treated the moment you get into that uniform. He took the job because he loves driving, is good at it and has exceptional people skills. He came from much higher paying jobs to a job her would enjoy and that would have him home every night. There are some crotchity old git bus drivers out there, and as a previous transit user, I've encountered them. Now I can't really blame them after hearing the bs they have to put up with. I'd be bitter after 20 years of that crap too. Just some food for thought guys. —Tired of your self centered attitiudes

Those feet on the Burger Week - Coast cover are DISGUSTIN! Now the last thing I wanna do is eat a burger. Fucking GROSS, Coast! —hate feet especially gross hairy man feet
