Did I miss a meeting about buses?
Halifax has buses with slippery plastic seats, on buses that seem to have more acceleration and braking than their other buses. Plus, the drivers drive them like they are getting paid by the mile.
To sit on the seats while the bus is stopped at a red light is difficult, too, because the angle seems wrong—it is like they are leaned forward so bad I have to do the death grip on the chair in front of me.

You grown men wearing skinny jeans and big bushy beards look stupid. Ain't got two nickels to rub together. All these scuzzballs not worth a damn. I'm a beautiful woman and should have a husband to take care of me. Why do I have to work these awful jobs? Why are men such pansies in peter pan pants? Where are all the well-groomed rich men who dress like men? No men know how to treat a lady anymore. It's all tinder fuckboys. No fancy dinners. No flowers, no candy, no jewlery. Just pay your own coffee at Starbucks? Really dudes? Is this the best you can do? Man up!

It baffles me that a notable number of cat owners have maimed their animal's feet to save their furniture, but that these same people are apparently were always either indifferent or oblivious to their house constantly being covered in cat shit. Yes, your cat walks into it's litter box and then walks around your house/ apartment. However, if anybody truly deserves to have their house covered in cat shit it's the morons that paid somebody to cut off their poor cat's toes to save their stupid couch!

Two hours from Burnside to Armdale by bus? And this city thought it had a chance to attract Amazon here? Pathetic.

Okay, why agree to take part in the coffee promotion if you're going to refuse to give your customers a free cup of coffee? I got there at 9:45am and the owner tells me and a couple of other people asking that it finished at 9:30 (NO, it finished at 10) and that you had to have a certain mug that you had to pick up ahead of time (NO, the posters and tweets said just bring your own). It's fine if you don't want to give the coffee for free but for the love of Blue Blazin' Pete, don't go in on the promotion if you won't follow through. Safe to say I won't be buying lunch here anymore. I'm mad and I want my coffee!

Thank you, shiny red truck, for not pulling any further into Vernon Street as I cycled past. Sorry I had to straight-arm your hood, but it really looked as if you were not going to stop at all, and I felt pretty exposed as I wheeled past your chrome and polish and hot breath.
I'm sure you were surprised, and (maybe?) a little embarrassed. Sight lines are bad, with those parked cars nearly blocking the driveway. Maybe your driver just wanted to forget his day on the job and get you home. I could have been less insistent on maintaining my place in the road, I suppose. Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention, either. Anyway, no harm done—this time. No dents, no foul. Did we both learn something?
That was a friendly wave I gave you, as I rode past, only slightly diverted from my course. Not a finger. Your driver, bless him, may have misunderstood.

Three straight days of rain in Halifax. If this keeps up I'm going to pack up all my stuff and move to Dartmouth!

My bathroom cupboards were not open. In fact, they magnetically stay closed until you open them. There are no pills in 'em with which you can get high. Don't be a douchebag.

Do any of you have ethical concerns about how insular and self-serving your industry is? Are you seriously that myopic? Who do you work for?!?!

To the young scooter driver leaving the mall yesterday: Where did you learn to drive that bike? You're going to get yourself injured or killed—passing the cars waiting at the light, by driving up the yellow line, almost getting squeezed into the median as you turned because you were where you shouldn't be, and then passing cars along the curb side is dangerous. There are only two lanes!
