Hey dick,
So I hear through the grapevine that my friend’s fiancé got fired the other day. He works for the city, or DID, until your pathetic ass decided to get involved with his life. Apparently in the line of duty, he drove over your neighbour’s grass with an HRM vehicle.
I realize this is frustrating. I realize people don’t want their grass driven over. However, this guy was driving a massive public works vehicle on a tiny, narrow fucking street. And apparently, trying to get around your goddamned luxury car, he clipped your neighbour’s grass with his huge vehicle. He had a choice and he made it. Apparently he was fucked either way.
Because what did you do? Well being the thoughtful neighbour that you apparently are, you called the city. Several days before Christmas.
And what happened? Now, several days before Christmas, HE GOT FIRED. Because apparently the grass in your neighbourhood comes before the people tending to it.
This person you called out without a thought to anybody but yourself has a family to feed. He has people to buy gifts for and family that he can now no longer afford to give a decent christmas to. Because you couldn’t wait until January to air your fucking grievances.
Again, I get that these guys have a job to do and should do it professionally. But does a minor mishap that could not have been avoided warrant him getting fired? RIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS? THINK before you bitch about your first world problems, you pathetic bag of dicks. You just ruined christmas for a handful of really nice people. People who are my friends and who I care a lot about.
Fuck you. Your callous attitude is going to come back to bite you in the ass. And may 2015 be that year.

My spider-senses say there’s a history of this stuff happening before this one. There’s no way he’d get fired for one lawn clipping.
A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Are you the Tiny Tim from Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol?” Are you crippled? Is your father’s name Bob Crachit? Did he carry you around on his shoulders? Fired, you say? That’s a damned shame. Bah, humbug!

A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Willard, is that your “dislike” again? For shame Willard, for shame!
I call BS.
HRM workers are unionised and don’t get fired for such a minor infraction.
Yeah, this sounds sketch.
Even if he was a contract employee with the city, I don’t see him getting fired if this was his first infraction.
And you can bet your ass I’d complain to the city if one of their employees drove over my lawn, unless it was a plough, but we haven’t had snow, so….
Our first steaming coil of bullshit for 2015.
Maybe the dude driving the thing was smoking crack and drinking moonshine when it happened.
Haha from what I’ve seen around town, these guys wouldn’t have anyone working for them if you could get fired for that. If this guy really did get fired to fo sho wasn’t for driving over grass, he would’ve had to do it everyday out of the year all the while running over cats and crackheads and telling small children the guy in the van across the street really DOES have candy!
I’m with Scooter – Being a city employee and likely unionized, he would have had a very, very, very long history of infractions to get the sack over this one small incident. This was likely the final straw, as they say…..
BS is correct. I have worked for HRM for over 20 years, that person would hold a CUPE position. There would have to be a hefty file on him already. They could not fire him for that.
Well, we all know how people hate to actually take responsibility for their actions. The fired employee is probably leaving stuff out in their tale of woe to friends and family, common tater.
Does HRM use any contractors?
Didn’t happen the way you present it ………. not at all. Perhaps your friends fiance told her a lie as to why the city fired his ass. Maybe he was “mowing some lawn” in the public works vehicle on a tiny, narrow fucking street and got caught on camera.
