I used to have no reason to be bothered by the down-and-out people who roam my neighborhood every Sunday night collecting bottles and cans in their shopping carts. In most cases they simply open up the bags I leave out on the curb and take what the want. Lately, I've been finding that the bottle collectors are getting a little cheeky. One evening I came home to find a strange man on my porch rooting through a bag of recyclables I'd left there. It made me feel very uncomfortable that he felt he was entitled to come onto my property without permission to get his bottles and cans. I also have been occasionally leaving my house in the morning to find someone has torn apart my recycling bags in search of bottles and left everything else strewn across my front lawn. It isn't a nice way to start the morning to have to clean up the mess they left me and it makes our property look dirty and gross. It may be wrong of me to be looking down at them for such behavior when they are obviously in bad situations and these bottles could be their source of income, but I think the people in my neighborhood deserve a little more respect. —Tired of cleaning up after your inconsiderateness

We had some foul weather today and I saw lots of millenials that didn't dress for the rain. Are they unable to figure out how to keep dry?¿? Stop calling them millenials, call them MINIMALs. Minimal brain power,minimal work skills, minimal people skills, minimal social skills, minimal energy levels, minimal patience, minimal independence, maximum, (they travel in herds), really codependent, (addicted to texting, never disconnect and be a separate entity) the rest of us need to prepare for an economic crash. Form a strong social network and get ready for anything. —It's the end of the world, and I feel sh1tty.

I called for a yellow taxi, and you send me a blue one. You foolish foolish man. —won't be fooled again

Trying to find a job with limits of what you can and cannot do is becoming very frustrating. The jobs available for my limits are very little. How about companies stop being so picky with less requirements so people can actually have a chance at working? So tired of seeing something than can be a potential then see all these bullshit requirements. I'm not smart enough for school but I know I can work. But none of these fricking companies will even look at me. —About to Give up Looking for Work

After everything, it makes me physically ill to see the number of mutual "friends" I have with my daughter's domestic violence assailant. Maybe they don't know. Maybe they don't want to know. —Bitch Mother of the Universe

I was let down by your lack of moshing. WTF? The energy was simply not what it ought to be! The band brought a lot just as they always have at past shows but the dance floor didn't reach its full potential last night. There are certain unwritten rules about being near the front of the stage. If you've got a drink in your hand, expect it to get spilt. If there are folks dancing all around you either join in or GTFO! When you get pissy about getting nudged on the dance floor, you actually take away from the experience of others who are trying to have a kick ass time by getting a little wild with the music. I'd appreciate a bit more enthusiasm next time. Keep to the back or just stay home. C'mon! —Mister Mosh Pit

You ignorant unprofessional rotting heap of dung. You were so intent on blowing past the woman with her head in her cellphone that you completely disregarded the other three people at the bus stop. The three of us had a talk after you went by. We all stepped towards the curb and two of us nodded, the other actually waved to you. We all phoned in complaints. And personally, I will take time off to make it to your disciplinary meeting. I doubt that you will have one, but that is just another reason why you are filth. —Granny with a Walker

How dumb are our neighbors to the south? By the looks of what I see on the news there are a lot of mice and rats willing to jump off a cliff for this Pied Piper spinning his web of nuclear war, spewing his hot lava of hate and fear. Women who have abortions are subject to criminal records. No mention of the sperm donor or his part to play in this insanity. What about women who are sexually assaulted and end up pregnant? How about putting chastity belts on every girl over the age of ??? and woman in his country. How about reversing all the good that has been done over the years to abolish racism and discrimination toward all sorts of peoples? He seems to be the mind of those who seen to not be able to speak or think for themselves because it is probably too much work for their small empty brains. He may be great a money maker but is definitely not a politician. He is world war three waiting to happen. He is a joke and anyone who supports him is a joke as well. They are people devoid of common sense and are billies. Trump usually opens one of his mouths only to change feet. He's running out of feet. God help us if there are enough idiots in the U.S. who vote for him and he actually wins the presidency. —Trump's Mother

What is wrong with this city and transit users? In Montreal and Toronto you would get pushed in front of a bus for some of the shit riders in this city pull. Ever hear of a queue? First arrive, first on... ladies and children first. This is the most uncivilized city I've ridden a bus/train in; not surprising since proper manners are the exception. Shitty schedules and shitty riders. That's why Halifax Transit sucks. —Miss Manners
