I work shift work and do most shopping during weekdays. So at Sobeys, Costco, and Walmart you find me, other shift workers, the retired, stay-at-home mom and dads....and members of the military in uniform !! Taxpayers pay your salary not to be at Home Depot at 2pm on a Tuesday or Cdn Tire at 10am on a Thursday. Get back to work!! —Enough-at-ease-already

I'm tired of biking in this city. The heckling from dumb drivers is annoying, but can be ignored. But the idiot drivers who don't understand that bikes have a right to the road are seriously wearing me down and making me question whether I want to bike any more. Riding down Gottingen, you decide to honk the horn of your stupid pickup truck at me because I'm in front of you and you want to pass. Guess what? I don't have to move to the side. I had a left turn coming up so I needed to be in the middle of the lane. I have a right to the road. Even if I wasn't turning left, Gottingen is a narrow street with cars parked on both sides. Sometimes bikers just have no way to keep to the right on our roads. I know it adds a whole 3.4 seconds to your commute in your giant stupid truck, but you'll be fine, I promise. But you keep riding my ass, so I move to the right as best I can and try to wave you past, but you just follow right behind me anyway. Then when I finally make my left turn you slow down and STOP in the middle of the road to tell me to "have a nice day." Hope you have a nice day too, fuckface. —Frustrated biker of 8 years

To the wannabe tough guy on Argyle Street on Thursday night, I'm the guy in the blue car. I may or may not have been improperly blocking the crosswalk. These are the split second choices a driver needs to make in downtown rush hour traffic when it looks like a car is about to cut in front of you from a side street. But I do know you better watch your mouth. The next guy you shout at and call a "cunt" may not bother looking for a parking spot, he may be out of the car and smashing your teeth out right in the middle of the intersection. If there had been a spot anywhere nearby on Prince Street, I guarantee I would have followed you to finish our conversation. —Working guy just trying to get home

You said you loved me unconditionally, yet you placed conditions on me. After I  reacted badly to life, I embarrassed you (and myself), so you forgot me—can't blame you, but it proves I meant nothing to you. —The Forgotten

Customers—If your cashier says hello to you, TRY SAYING IT THE F$#@! BACK! Work with me here people, stop leaving me hanging! On an unrelated bitch, why is it that cab drivers always smell like they smoked a pack of exports while taking a cologne bath? —HELLO

To one of the hoards of first-year girls screaming up Chestnut Street today decked out in Dal gear: You stole a construction s ign that was half the size of you and proceeded to carry it over your head while running and screaming down the street. I'm not really sure what the best-case scenario is here, but you do you. —Whyyyy

Hey what’s up with the lame "Where`s Waldo" look? The outdated skinny jeans, the knitted winter toque (worn in summer months) and cheesy-looking, oversized Taylor Swift glasses that so many are wearing—people this is not original!  (PS neither is the man bun or knot, or overdone lumberjack beard craze and the bronzed Snookie look.) —JP Robie

DEAR RESTAURANTS: Please stop using chicken stock and/or beef stock in otherwise vegetarian soups! Veggie broth would taste just as good in that curried carrot or potato leek, k? —Hard out here for a herbivore

I love Halifax, I really do. What I don't love is almost getting killed every time I walk around the city. At least once a day I'm almost struck by cars drifting through stop signs or not looking both ways before turning right into me. I'm a very cautious walker but this continues to happen daily. Another major frustration with walking around the city is the damn construction blocking half the sidewalks around town. I feel like Frogger jumping from one side of the road to the other, dodging "Sidewalk Closed" signs and cars at the same time. And finally, can we assess the fact that BOTH sides of the road have "Sidewalk Closed" signs on the corner of Gottingen and Rainnie Drive. Where in the heck am I supposed to walk!? —#FrustratedOnFoot
