I don't own a car and walk six to ten miles a day on the peninsula. I see a lot of unnecessary traffic tie-ups because pedestrians won't cede their privilege for the thirty seconds it takes to wait for a break in traffic before jaywalking. And when I choose to defer to traffic, drivers bloody well won't let me! They screech to a halt if I'm ten feet from the curb but they think I'm even contemplating crossing the street. If I wave them on, they hold up traffic even longer, either giving me the finger or getting out of their car to help me across the street. Is there something I'm missing, here? Is it wrong of me to walk around trying not to unnecessarily impede traffic as I indulge my unmitigated freedom of movement? Is it possible for pedestrians to be too privileged and drivers too polite? Is it possible that, when that happens, no one, least of all a transit bus, gets anywhere on time? Is is possible to reach a better balance between pedestrian rights and traffic flow? —Guerrilla Pedestrian

I tried to mail a parcel to my sister knowing they don't do home delivery anymore. Thought she may have to pick it up in person or something, nope!!! Return to sender for a proper mailing address. I call bullshit on it! —Pised but gotta send it again

To the clueless lady with the Rotti/Am Staff/Mastiff mix at Point Pleasant Park on Tuesday morning- if your dog is "playing" with mine by snarling at it, pinning it down until it squeals then continuing to roughhouse with it- it's not playing, it's aggression! Also don't appreciate you arguing with me when I politely asked you to get control of your dog. I would've gotten control of mine, but yours was sitting on it...Here's a hint- if you need an electric shock collar to take your dog out in public, he doesn't belong at an off-leash dog park! —Irate Spaniel Puppy Owner

Oh my god!!! Its winter and it may snow. Oh no, what do I do? Maybe shut the city down? No, the province then? Fuck it! Close the country because it snowed in winter. Jesus people what the hell happened to the human race? —Little snow babies!

Whenever I'm asked if I want to have kids, I always answer no. I don't like dealing with kids of any age and I don't feel like I would be a good mother. I don't want to go through the pain of childbirth and destroy my body as a result. But every time a family member asks if me and my husband are going to have children they act as if my answer is incredibly offensive. I'm sorry I don't see the so called joy as you do but you're going to have to deal with it. If you stopped asking altogether you'd save the both of us a lot of trouble. —a dog will be just fine, thanks

So there is this very expensive winter coat fashion statement sweeping the country that has real coyote fur trimmed hoods. Stop standing there saying it’s ok because” it’s done humanly” the only humane way to take an animal’s fur is if it dies of natural causes, or if they are killed as a food source and even that’s not super HUMANE with the way mass production farming is growing larger. Let me educate you a little outside of your “its ok its humane bubble”. I went on this company’s website to see what background they give on the fur used on their product and it lead me to the standards of humane trapping in Canada which allow hunters to use leg traps, and body gripping traps. These traps will break the coyote’s neck, break their paw, or take hold of their ear ect so they are left to starve and whine in pain until they either die of starvation or are shot in the head when they are found by a hunter. Does that sound humane to you????? Sure doesn’t sound it to me. Also these traps are to be placed 274 meters outside of residential areas and even less surrounding provincial parks. So these traps not only catch coyotes they catch household pets as well….all so you can have your 700 dollar status symbol. Yes I’m well aware coyotes are caught regardless in order to keep the population at bay as they are known to be aggressive….but when you bulldoze their natural habitat where do you expect them to go????? You want to buy that coat….I can’t stop you! But stop lying to yourself and saying it is produced humanely, stop saying it’s the only coat that’s warm enough for winter especially when you only live in NS NOT THE ARTIC! And just admit it you don’t care how it’s made….you don’t care what animal has to die……its expensive…it’s a trend…it’s a status symbol and you want it. It took me all of 10 minutes to look up the information regarding trapping in Canada to see just how that fur trim make is to those lovely coats…… —Start asking questions

Some basic rules of driving:

1. A signal light is used to indicate an upcoming turn. Flipping it on two seconds before the actual turn is pointless and a dick move.

2. Accelerate to highway speed on the onramp, then merge.

3. To exit a highway, signal, then turn onto the off-ramp, then decelerate

4. Go easy with using brakes. Maintain sufficient space between the vehicle ahead so that brake tapping isn't necessary - it causes a chain reaction for everyone behind. Remove foot from gas pedal, or, for manual transmissions, downshift.

5. If cars from two side-by-side lanes entering the Armdale circle at different rates, something is very wrong.

6. Never switch lanes while in the Armdale circle - be in the proper lane before you enter. It is a black-hole of blind spots and changing lanes is likely to cause a collision. Know where you're going.

7. Be ready to move on an advanced green. There is a line of people also trying to get through. The presence of an advanced green light would indicate that its a nasty intersection to get through otherwise. Be aware that others need to get places too.

8. Enter the nearest lane on the street when turning left or right at an intersection. Complete the turn, signal and then enter the further lane if that's where you need to be.

9. If turning left when stopped at a red light, signal well ahead of time to give fair warning to people behind you - give them the option of using the other lane (if available). Fuck you otherwise.

10. Drivers have one job - to pay attention. The rest is secondary. Watch for traffic lights. Watch for pedestrians. Be ready to move.

Any ideas on other slick tips for not being a jackass on the road? Please share.

What the fuck is UP with the lesbians in this city. Where the hell do I find a woman to date other than POF. Come out of your caves, dykes and come play —Horny lesbo

I'm so sick of hearing neighbours having sex. I'll be relaxing and then...boom boom boom slam slam slam...awww! ooooh!! awww yes!! fuck! oaaawwwwwwhhhhh!!

Every fucking day, every fucking night. The ones above me do it, the ones below me do it, the ones to my left and right do it, the ones across the hallway do it (btw, I was just getting home when I heard the ones across the hallway, and their lovemaking reeks! All ass smell out in the hallway. Take a fucking shower before you do the deed! Eww). I hear it loud and clear. I hate the apartment buildings in this town. The walls are too fucking thin. I don't want to hear human mating! Whenever I have sex, I'm fucking quiet. No one wants to hear me, and I don't want to hear them! I can tolerate it once in a while, but these tenants seem to have no jobs and all they do is have sex! I'll leave in the morning for work and will hear sex as I'm walking out the door, and the second I come home, I'm hearing it. Don't you guys have other things to do? And they're loud as fuck, I'll turn my music/TV up and I still hear it! I'm sick of it always being awkward and uncomfortable in my home. I'm getting the fuck out of this building and moving to one where it's mainly old people there. My chances of hearing the deed will be slim to none! —I need to buy a house

To the twat who told me I was too skinny and to eat something. I lost a bunch of weight and now I'm a size 1 and 103 lbs. I posted new pics of myself on facebook and you go and comment, too skinny go eat! I'm not too skinny, I'm just the right size. If I was really tall, yeah 103 lbs would be too skinny, but I'm only 5'7"! Jealous bitch, I'm a healthy weight and ur fat. That's why you made that comment, baha! —Lovin ma sexy new bod
