while waiting a bus stop, you stood there with your filthy cigarette, filling the air with your toxins. As I stood there, I realized that the filthy smoke was touching your filthy tongue, passing your filthy lips, drifting to me and contaminating my mouth and lungs!!!!! I gagged at the thought. I want every non-smoker to think of this, as you wait for your bus. Maybe it's time for us to write to our 'leaders' and tell them that's we've had enough of public smoking. We have a right to protect our health, and second hand smoke kills!!!! —Never leave home without tic-tacs

To the deaf woman on the 34 bus this morning who got angry at the driver for what you perceived as missing your stop in front of the TD Building, you owe her an apology. While I appreciate it is frustrating trying to communicate with someone who doesn't know sign language, you totally overreacted. The bus driver was very apologetic, and she didn't do anything wrong. There was no stop between Scotia Square and the stop you ended up getting off at. That's what she was trying to explain. You getting off the bus and screaming f-bombs made you look like a spoiled child. It's not like you had to hike 10 miles to get to where you wanted to stop...it was literally a 3 minute walk. Grow up! —34 Regular

To my family member who loves to use me as an emotional and physical punching bag: I can't do this anymore. My sanity has been in constant flux with your temperament ever since we've been children. I can't pretend to love you anymore. I can't be in constant fear anymore of your wrath. I need to let you go before you destroy what little confidence I've built up. —Peace out

What gives you, a 50-year-old man with a smart phone, the right to film 40 women dancing at an outdoor zumba class in a park? You never asked any of us women, you just filmed until I told you to stop. What gives you the privilege to film women for your delectation without a thought to our privacy? —I wanna dance

As a pedestrian, it makes no sense to me that I need to push a button to cross at traffic lights. Can anyone tell me? I think it looks good on paper, but not in real life. Several times I go to push the button and it's broken. No light, no beep—what does the law want me to do? One time I just started crossing and this guy drives really fast past me and tells me I shouldn't be in the crosswalk, the light is red. I'm going to carry a large black marker and write "F'D Up" on the switch to make it easy for the city to identify. I should get a monetary reward for reporting it to the city. —Walking, to save the planet...

I do not understand why The Coast has to provide a voice to people who are so mad at the world. You make it sound like Brexit means that Canada should separate next (not Quebec, but places that probably have not even thought of separating!), or that this will turn in to World War III, that we need for some reason. I find The Coast digs for negativity and reinforces the idea that the fringes of society have to be so cynical about everything. Halifax is left without a reputable newspaper and it does not help if we seem to think that "independent" and "mad at the world" have to be in the same sentence. It makes us all look bad and we can do better than that. —Wanting Good News for A Change

To the parking officer named "Lloyd" - did you find it extra fulfilling writing me a parking ticket (for which I did not deserve) for not parking within 150mm of the curb (in a parallel park)? Did you realize that my very small car is also half the size of the Jeep or the SUV parked in front of me and behind me? They both are wider than my car, and protrude more into the road when parked, although they didn't receive a ticket! BUT I GET A TICKET IN MY SMALL LITTLE FUEL EFFICIENT CAR! I wasn't even allowed to fight it! Apparently due to some undemocratic fucks in the city, there are some parking violations not worthy of being fought over, making us basically at the whim of parking officers. What the hell? I was so ready to fight. That was my grocery money for the week. —Pissed responsible car owner

The sidewalk had to be 10 feet wide. I’m hugging the inner side, walking at a normal pace expected of someone that is 6 feet tall. You are of the average height of a Nova Scotian man, swinging your flappy arms overtaking me. Your arm glazes mine… okay, first thought “Wtf, why?” Second thought “Is he from Barcelona, did he just steal my shit” Wtf status continues. Now you were about a half arm length diagonally from me. Your over stretched flappy arm almost hits me as you ‘evasively merge’ right in front of me… Wtf status didn’t end here. Why would you then proceed to slow down… —WTF Walker

First off to the unqualified clowns who "built" the new long lake trail. Way to fucking go! Tear down a perfectly portioned trail for what? to drive a dump truck through? Don't know about you but dogs don't wear work boots nor do people on a sunny day potentially with strollers. Nice work for your suburbia. I bitch but have succumbed to this bullshit trail as it does contain my fave spot so bitch number two is fuck off with breaking glass! Get it. old party spot also ruined from bullshit trail. fuck off with smashing. We begrudgingly still go Also thanks for all the lumber from your horrible clean up job, that's a plus —Pretty sure we've met

On Thursday June 28 you called me a fucking asshole, you fucking asshole. You screamed at me that cyclists belong on the road, not the sidewalk. I 100% agree with you, you piece of scum. But it was the Armdale rotary at rush hour, and dying at the hands of a moron driver such as yourself wasn’t on my to do list for that day. I was biking home from a pleasant day at work and you turned my smile upside down. I hope your car explodes next time you’re zooming around the roundabout, uselessly yelling at people, and just as you’re on the brink of death a cyclist who happened to be on the sidewalk saves your life. Fuck you. —You're the asshole
