So hey douchebag, maybe you shouldn't take advantage of your customers, you pompous fuck. I was around eight cocktails in, and a regular suggested I order a drink from the "special" glass. You served a $50 dollar drink. I now call it, and the establishment you work for, "the rip off.” Way to go—seriously. —Grow up

To a certain property company that thinks they're pretty slick - busy schedule? Email would be better? Of course it would... you want it all in writing. Guess what... so do I. You make me laugh out loud. —A whole lot smarter than you think

In Syria, women are being bought and sold, children are being slaughtered, Kurdish and Izadi teenage girls are picking up guns and protecting their families, protecting their homes and protecting their freedom. But here in Canada we are cut between two political sides, a weak left and a far right. One is saying we will not have any involvement and one has a token presence with just bombings and selective refugee policy. We need to be there. We need to be pressuring the United Nations and the Security Council to be involved. We need a Canadian Peace Keeping mission, as a UN sanctioned movement in Syria, supporting those young women who are not leaving their lands, their homes. Canada must be there, on the side of those women, for the sake of humanity. —Shahin Sayadi, artistic director, Onelight Theatre

Dear Inglis block between Lucknow and South Park: why have you smelled like poo for at least the last month? Please stop. —Sick of Poo Stink

While out walking my dogs this evening, I found mail strewn all over the street. Someone had broken into the mail box and took the time to open them and tossed them away when there was nothing of value. I picked everything up and put an elastic band around them with a note explaining the circumstance of how I found them and put them into the mail box. But who knows what information the thieves kept. I am writing this bitch just warning people that these super boxes are not nearly as safe as we were told. —I want my mail delivered

Is how I want to describe people that are aggressive and mean on purpose to further their own agenda, especially when the target is a nice person that didn't hurt the aggressor in anyway. No I am not the target, just keep seeing this happen to people at work. Numerous different aggressors and numerous different targets, just seeing a regular pattern of this. I do intervene, every time I am quick enough on the draw, though sometimes I am not. And it bothers me and keeps me up at night because even intervening is not as effective AS IF PEOPLE WOULD JUST CHOOSE NOT TO ACT THAT WAY IN THE FIRST DAMN PLACE!! —Get it, 8's instead of stars!!!!

To the driver of the silver car clearly intent on nothing else but getting to the rotary from Connaught Avenue last week: It is my understanding that when there are three lanes (one for left turns, one for going straight, and one that gives the option to go straight or turn right), and the left turning lane is blocked by construction or something, then you can turn left carefully from the straight lane. You cannot, however, as I understand it, turn left from the right turning lane, cut off all the cars in front of you, and almost cause many people to lose their lives. —Just Trying to Make it Past the Intersection Alive

So what genius decided that the end of August was a good time to start to rip up roads and sidewalks in Halifax, just in time for the sart of school? Did you not consider that the middle of July might be a better time, when traffic is light and most people are off on vacation? Or do you have a sick sense of humor and enjoy watching commuters fume while they sit in traffic, made worse by poorly timed roadwork? I take public transit and my bus ride home is doubled in time. Then there is the sidewalk issue. Instead of informing pedestrians before they reach the ripped up sidewalks, so they can safely cross the street at a light or cross-walk, you have to wait until we actually get to the construction area before we realize that the sidewalk is closed. I could have crossed the street safely at the light half a block down if I had known I needed to. WTF people, how about a little planning in the future —Frustrated

My apologies that life outside the trailer park is so rough, telling you that no you cannot smoke a cigarette inside a store. You look like trash and you reacted like trash. —can't phase me douche bag.
