Re: “To jail with you, Sir Bottle Bum”

Had a guy in my area that would pick through and then leave me crap that wasn't worth anything AND wasn't recyclable. So I stopped putting out my blue bag till the am. If you want them take them, I don't want someone else s garbage back.

Re: “Can of fish”

Seriously?
A good friend has a very bad allergy to fish that even the smell will cause a bad reaction. It's time sensitive and that could be bad between stops.
This is like those morons that cover themselves with perfume or cologne 20 minutes before a 4 hour flight.

Re: “Construction — Attention new owner”

Geez.

Its not about getting one up on someone, its about the OP understanding that stuff needs to get done and the home owner having some consideration for people who do work regular work hours and want to relax on the weekend.
Its a long road and being rude or inconsiderate on either side will catch up eventually.

So share your fuckin smarties :)

Re: “Construction — Attention new owner”

I'd say go talk to the owners and see what their plan is; Will the construction take a week? a month? 6 months?

Having dealt with a noise issue, I can tell you that there is no "make as much noise as you like till 11pm" bylaw in HRM.

I'd be annoyed if I was CONSTANTLY woken up by a racket, or unable to hear myself think on my back deck

OP has a right to enjoy their property and space, the line is deciding whats a reasonable amount of noise over length of time vs trying to understand and get along with the neighbors vs the owner who may not be living on site vs the contractor who just wants to get in and get done.

Re: “Buying and selling online”

How about; If I agree to hold something for a period of time because you're coming " after supper tonight", call me if you decide you're not coming

Re: “Sleep-watchers”

"Ever notice that there aren't any sleepwatchers down here in the beautiful Annapolis Valley?"

Yeah down there you have to worry about your relatives not strangers!
