People are urinating in the sinks of downtown coffee shops, apparently to conserve water. So you're washing your hands in a urinal, basically. Well, I guess it's for a good cause.

We saw you—barely. The other evening, cycling north up Agricola Street. You had no headlight, no tail light, no helmet, an all-black outfit and you were texting. There were others who cam close but you took the prize for worst cyclist. BTW, we cycle too—but unlike you, we believe it’s incumbent upon us to make at least some effort not to get hit. Being visible? It’s the least we can do.
—Not cleaning up the mess

When you left out of the blue and all your friends came out the woodwork to tell me you'd been cheating on me with every dude in sight, I thought I'd never feel again. With the benefit of time, a girlfriend who truly loves me, career success, and those same friends telling me you're still cutting all your friends out of your life every couple years to get away from your past, I mostly just hope you get yourself together. You weren't good to me, but there's still time to be good to yourself.
—You Know

Shame on council for placing yet another ridiculous restriction on the good people of Halifax. You assholes will be remembered when election time rolls around again. Goodbye and good riddance. Not much good to have smoking be legal if you have to buy a boat, go 10 miles out to sea and weigh anchor before you can light up.
—Tired of being controlled

1. If you are walking in a group, don't spread out to take up the entire goddamn sidewalk—especially when you see someone walking toward you. It won't kill you to stop talking for 10 seconds and walk in single file to get out of the way so other people aren't forced off the sidewalk.
2. If you're walking alone, don't weave back and forth across the entire sidewalk. Someone might want to try to pass you and we can't do that if you keep meandering randomly from side to side in front of us. Unless you're absolutely fucking shitfaced, there's no reason for it. And speaking of passing...
3. Just like in a car, if someone behind you speeds up to pass you, don't speed up to match them. I know it's kind of a Nova Scotia tradition, but it's not a race. Some people are gonna walk faster than you. Get over it and let them walk by.
—Done being run off the sidewalk

How many gazillion hours would a single mother have to work at what this city offers as a hourly wage to pay for a decent apartment? Then, if we could make rent, I guess we would have to eat at the food bank.
Halifax employers, up your hourly rate so people can afford a decent living. They time you in this province when you go to break and lunch hours. They do not train people properly here: You are supposed to know exactly what you are doing when you are hired as If you have been there your whole life. Then, they write you up when you make a mistake.
Do away with contract jobs. They're just a way to work people into the ground, in false hopes they will be hired with benefits.
—Up your game

Yeah, that's right, white socks after Labour Day.
—Colour coordinated

To the progressive and eager father in Lawrencetown: Yeah, I know, it's the third day of school and you have something to prove. But don't stand on the edge of your driveway on the blind crest and jump out at me, flailing your arms with panic written all over your face, just because I'm doing 57 in a 50 zone.
Yes, I should have been going slower, but there are no signs. So, I'll be more aware next time. But maybe you should follow suit of some other high traffic small communities and put your energy into making a sign, like "slow down, we love our kids."
Should that be necessary? No. But it works. And my 57 pales in comparison to the 67 or 77 the next driver might be doing, and no one needs to be sent off the road—nor do you need to be a hero and get injured or killed on what looks your child's first days of school. Stand back, jot license plate numbers, call police for more presence, publically shame people—or make a sign. Whatever. Just contribute to a solution instead of making it worse.
—Still on vacation and forgetful

Why must you sing at the top of your lungs at 3:30am? I know the acoustics are great on an empty downtown street, but your signing is not. It’s a school night. Go to bed.
—Old man shaking fist at the clouds

1. Show-offs of shitty cars with loud mufflers at all times of day. 2. Dudes with motorcycles speeding downtown with loud mufflers. Why, tho. 3. Dudes idling and revving engines near apartment buildings in the middle of the night. 4. Dudes shouting, roughhousing and trying to one-up each other outside of apartment buildings late at night.
Live like your parents would tell you to.
