I witnessed your hissy fit in front of a busload of passengers. I can't believe you would risk your child's safety and wellbeing by insisting he/she stay in that plastic car. The driver simply asked you to seat the child with you. You were rude, condescending and frankly abusive. The supervisor and driver were willing to continue downtown. Instead, you proceeded on a profanity laced tirade in front of your own and other kids—a busload of passengers.

Then you had to get abusive with the driver when you were called out on your reprehensible behaviour. What do think would've happened when you ordered him to drive? I would've walked off too, rather than endure your abuse. Any wonder the police finally escorted you off!

Here's a tip: You don't run things and no one owes you anything, you entitled snot. You're frankly an unfit mother and you set one hell of a poor example for your kids. If you don't like rules, then find your own way there. Just don't inflict your bullshit posturing on everybody else!

I can't put my paper and plastic (with no refundables) out the night prior because you steal the entire street's recycling!! WTF?? Knock it off, weirdos. I'm starting to hate this city because of trespassing idiots that do shit like this.

I'm cleaning my motorbike in my driveway. Kids walk by, one of them looks at me, crosses onto my lawn and dumps my compost bin over. I chased him, but am out of shape. I will catch him and paddle his little ass. Call the police—I don't care. Kids are not held responsible, so I will make him responsible.

An assistant manager at a busy shopping area saw a beggar stick his props (crutches that particular day) under his arm, wander over to his nice car, toss them in and drive away. Since then I don't feel sorry for beggars—they're often duping us all.

I love my community library, but the school kids are using it to make out in during the school days. Staff turn their backs—thanks! Now I genuinely hate going to the library because it's like milď soft porn with teens. Yuuuuck.

I'd like to chirp in with my two cents on this housing crisis we're experiencing in HRM. I am also looking for an apartment to rent. I found a two-bedroom in Woodside listed for a reasonable price and went to look at it the other day. When I arrived, I walked up a few flights of rotting, rickety wooden stairs (with holes in the boards) that seemed about to collapse. When I got to the top vacant flat and met the landlord, he pointed out a few broken windows that had been boarded up with plywood. He said, "These windows are old, so it can get chilly here in the winter." No kidding! And no mention of fixing the windows.

I ask if the heat/hot water is included. "No it's not, and it's electric heat so it can get pricey."

You walk into the apartment and you're hit with a smell of mold and dampness. The wood floors have white paint splattered ALL over it. The apartment has a tiny living room and kitchen all in one area, and it looks filthy and disgusting and run down. The two tiny bedrooms are painted god-awful colors, one is bright fuscia pink the other is bright smurf blue. Again, no mention of planning to clean the place or repaint before the next tenant. I felt like asking this guy, "Are you serious, bro?"

This place would probably end up costing well over $1,000 bucks when you factor in all the electric heat you will be paying to heat the outdoors with all these broken boarded-up windows. I should have confronted the landlord for trying to scam people into renting this squalid property that isn't fit for any human being. What a waste of my time! No wonder there were no photos on the ad. This property needs to be condemned! It looked like a squatter's house or a trap house. I got such bad vibes there. It's not even fit to squat in. In fact, I wouldn't sleep a night in that place if YOU paid ME!

If anything is going to change, we need to do our part. I think I am going to give the tenancy board a call and give them a heads up about the kind of slumlords they allow to operate in HRM. I too have had enough!
—Shut Er Down

This city is still in the Dark Ages. Why the hell can't I bring my dog on the bus or ferry? Why are there no actual dog parks here? If I wanted to bring my dog to the only off-leash dog-friendly area in the city, I have to go all the way to Point Pleasant Park, but guess what? I have to drive because Halifax Transit is so god damn lame they don't allow them. Why can I bring my dog on a street car, ferry, bus AND subway in any other city in Canada? (Also, the Common or that fenced-in parking space beside it doesn't count as dog parks either, folks.)

I want to thank the bitch in the pink t-shirt that ruined my Pride Parade.
I am a 66-year-old gay man and I have attended the every Pride Parade in Halifax from day one. I choose my spot in the shade and set up my chair two hours before the parade on Spring Garden Road across from the old library. You showed up just as the parade was coming and started taking pictures, blocking my view. I asked you to move, telling you I had been there for two hours before the parade started so I COULD SEE. You were very rude and didn't. Show some respect—THINK about others! Next year I hope you use your head and show respect, because I might not be around to ask you to move.

Tried to buy a hairbrush today at the grocery store. Not one under $15. For a HAIR BRUSH!!! Seriously??? What is the world coming to???
—Unbrushed Hair, Don't Care

Would you misguided potato-brained morons just stop trying to be so fucking “polite” when you drive, keep your right of way and stop, for fuck's sake, almost causing near-accidents!?! Are you doing the rest of us any favours by jamming your goddamn brakes on in the middle of a main traffic lane? Perhaps you’re related to the idiots who hit the brakes before turn signals. Smarten up before you do cause an accident, jackass.
