So they want to replicate the smell of bread by installing a community pizza oven? WTF is a community pizza oven and how the hell is it going to smell like bread? Far too many developers have their heads so far up their own asses they think stupid shit like this should exist. —Blaine

Decent jobs in Nova Scotia are as scarce as hen's teeth. Everything pays minimum wage! From burger joints, to call centres, to office work. I cannot pay my bills and rent on minimum wage. That's why I invested several years and thousands of dollars on my secondary education. These job ads I see online are really fucking annoying. These cheap ass employers refused to pay anything more than a dollar over the minimum. You may get $12/hr. if you're lucky, but they have these long laundry lists of qualifications they expect of a potential employee. You must have this degree, that degree, vehicle required, knowledge of bookkeeping. Know this software and that program. Yet you pay fucking peanuts! How dare you?! These degrees to which you seek weren't free. We owe up to our eyeballs in student loan debts and the price of living is increasing every day. Have you seen the price of food lately? 5 dollars for a cauliflower! Let alone, heating, power, internet, phone, rental prices. This is ridiculous! No wonder there are so many homeless people who just give up and turn to the bottle and drink themselves into oblivion. You just can't win. Then you take one of these shitty jobs and the workers are all so miserable, they treat you like shit. The working conditions are always hostile. Then you leave when you find another job that pays a whole dollar more an hour, and the employer wonders why they have such a high employee turnover rate. Job searching is so annoying. And don't even get me started on these temp agency con artists. They waste hours of your day with their interview, typing tests and spelling tests, but then they don't call you for any fucking assignments! You'll check in with them weekly and they claim to have nothing, but meanwhile you see several ads they have posted on job boards. WTF? They take like 50% of your income anyway!! And there are so many of these agencies out there now. They're all crooks. You'll get work with them if you agree to 10.70/hr. They want the biggest piece of your pie for doing fuck all, All the employers love using these agencies since their turnover is so high and they get tired of dealing with new hires themselves. Well, here's a novel thought: Why don't you pay your fucking workers and treat them right and you won't have that problem to begin with. Finally, another thing that really pisses me off is these idiots who post their own ads looking for a job under the job category and not under the "jobs wanted" category. We are all looking for jobs, we don't need to sift thru your bullshit misspelled ad FFS. No employer on earth has ever answered them. They want to see a professional cover letter and resume, not some stupid one-liner from your illiterate ass. I literally read this on kijiji today... "Looking for a cash job witch pays 12 dollars an hour"... Witch? Seriously? Use spell check you dumb fucks and post in the right category. Could you not waste people's time with this nonsense? —Fuck off with that shit!

So you found a bed bug on a transit bus. What do you expect? How many people take the buses every day? And not one of them will have any cooties of any kind? Maybe you’re the one who brought it on, ever think of that? You could have them for years in your home, bed, sofa, books, et cetera and not know it. And as far as Transit saying that the health and safety of riders and it's drivers is top priority is bullshit. Ever take a good look around the inside of a bus? Look everywhere and you will discover oodles of dirt, dust and crap all over them. They do not clean the buses as they say every day. That's a load of bull they are giving you. The public and the drivers are lucky if they get cleaned on the inside twice a year. They don't get cleaned daily. It's bullshit, just like everything else Halifax Transit says to protect itself. They really don't give a rats ass. —One Who Knows

You knocked my cell phone out of my hand when you reached for the close door button on an elevator we both take daily—that we both know doesn't actually do anything. You stared at me when I picked up my broken phone and didn't even say sorry. It’s fine, I've had the phone a long time, but for fucks sakes you could have apologized. —Nick

My previously friendly neighbourhood pharmacy is no longer friendly.The employees used to be curtious and helpful and with a smile ,with the exception of a pharmacist and a cashier.What changed?Im always nice ,smile when smiled at.Was it something I said or did or didn't do to warant the change in you're attitudesand quality of service?I spend good money there but it makes me wonder as to the professionalism of pharmacy staff. —soon to be ex customer

Since reading the paper about bed bugs popping up on a bus has got me freaked out. Already had to deal with those little shits once and it took months before i got rid of them. It was expensive and a royal pain. No it does not mean your dirty either. It is so easy to get them. Its sad cause some are just learning now how easy it is to get them and call people dirty who have them. Well news flash you could be the cleanest person and still get them by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. And these frigging people called environmentalist at some point complained about the old ways being to dangerious for humans to breath in so now the problem has returned. I would rather breath in the dangerious poisions than have the expense and extra work to claim your home back. I hope the environmentalists are happy cause they are the ones who deserve to get the worst case of them. —F you environmentalists

Maybe you didn't get the nod because there are those who did better than you. Yes, there are situations where everyone gets an award but this is not one of them. Some times people are excluded because they don't meet the required professional criteria and not because they are a member of a minority. —Try harder next time

To the driver of the light coloured vehicle who drove into a parked car in a parking lot on Quinpool Road on Friday night: please call or stop by the adjacent store with your name and information by Thursday. If not, on Friday the video surveillance of the hit and run will be turned over to police to investigate. —Licenseplateclearlyvisible

I keep hearing terrible stories about bed bugs around Halifax. Bed begs in the hospital, on the bus, in apartment buildings, senior complexes, nursing homes, hotels and student housing. Halifax you have a beg bug problem!!! Get your shit together and do something about it!! This is not acceptable!!! —Sleeping Tight

How deceitful to sell 'bamboo' in your company and lead people to believe that the sheets are made of bamboo fibres when in fact they're microfibre! —Attentive consumer
