My roommates and I have noticed that on a regular basis a horde of hippies have taken to playing the bongo drums very loudly around the city, particularly in the commons which is close to where we live.
Get over it hippies, no one wants to hear your incessant drumming. It’s disruptive, annoying and it’s giving me a headache! I hear jobs are nice things to get. —Bitter about Bongos

Try bagpipes, 3-4 nights a week for 2-4 hours at a time! They’ve decreased the amount of time they play, but for May, June & July, that was my background music.
If you live in a high rise with a good sturdy iron railed balcony, you should invest in a snipers rifle and a good quality scope – problem solved. Seriously, winter is coming, hippies hate the cold, it will soon end
excellent advice there Basil.
OP has two options…
either kill them or
STFU and wait it out….
geez. why don’t you just start adding offensive lyrics?
then they’ll likely stop playing when you dub the next bongo hit,
“piercing nipples with my needle dick”
Hippy drum circle *shudders*
Couldn’t load fast enough.
sugar sugar is sarcastic^^
Used to be the person who always hung around with the band was called the drummer .
I’ve had the unfortunate experience of driving by those bongo nuts. Couldn’t imagine having to actually be stuck somewhere & unable to escape !… bloody torture ! !
WAIT
Isn’t torture illegal in Canada ?
torture = “aggravated assault” + “forced confinement”
from recent torture news, this is what I understand.
Nice GOin Fat? What the fuck? Why are you commenting on the bitch? Slack asshole. Insult someone already you dickfaced piece of pukesnot!
… pukesnot …. hehe …
Right to pussy… sigh. So much to learn young one…
OK here’s another example:
You are the cancerous growth on an actual camel’s toe, as it bakes and festers in the hot sun, reeking of death. That is the appeal of you.
You’re boring. You’d be more funny if you could loosen up and kiss a girl finally.
And that would help you to stop being an asshole how?
the only good hippy is ….. 🙂
just take a ball bat and ask them nicely to turn it down or off. if they see bat, they will get idea real fucking quick, if not, help them to see.
Are these hippies or granolas….the two seem so similar now.
Next bag piper I see I’m going to see how far down their throat one of those pipes can go!
piper on a stick…
the new white meat.
There HAS to be a way to turn that thing into a bong….
air goes in, gets stored, and comes out.
I’m not saying it’d be cheap, but it’d make one hell of a hookah.
I would like to personally strangle and immolate the asshole that introduced the whole idea of mindless drumming on Djembes in public places.
A didjeridoo made out of PVC pipe is wrong for so many reasons; cultural, aesthetic, environmental…you name it.
Time to give Eric Cartman a call.
Ew, who is this loser wanting to ban some bongos? Move it grampa. This is a MUSICAL city.
je manque vraiment le son de mon fils jouant ses tambours…weepy rawk
Anyone ever been to that shit hole called montreal?
They have a big one there. Everyone fuckin hates it, all kinds of pissed off people with dreadlocks being ass holes and making a big stink.
Seriously,whats wrong with these people? Making music during the day outside??? They should be in hip cafes or thrift stores looking for awesome finds like jeans that are way too small or a cardigan cause I mean hey, if your not a hipster who plays acoustic guitar you might as well just leave the city.
Yup,getting rid of those people who have decided to get out and actually do something should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law! And thank god there are no ass holes in the group or they might just write a sarcastic response.
Thankyou, HippyFullaHate!
Who exactly do “those hippies” think they are?
I mean, seriously… who honestly gets together, legally, one day a week, with 50+ of your friends, for some fun, in the one place we are all allowed to go and enjoy ourselves however we want to…
GAWD! the horror… the… GAUL! the insanity! it MUST be stopped by any means neccessary! call out the National Guard!
oh, wait… this is Canada… a (mostly) “Free Country”… nevermind…
The Viking
Maybe if you took that giant thing out of your ass and realize that this is a city with many different cultures and people just expressing themselves in positive ways you would be happy. Its not like they are sitting in the commons shooting people with paint ball guns and being rude.
That’d be hilarious!
i AM one of those hippies playing the drums. I’m sorry you don’t enjoy it, but we love sitting in the beautiful commons playing our drums, hugging each other, eating food, sharing stories, hula hooping, making art, selling our wares, and enjoying life. Maybe you should come join us and then you won’t be so negative. Much Love Halifax! 🙂
i can’t wait for the winter drum circles. baby let’s keep this going all year longgg.
THE CIRCLES ARE GROWING, whether you like it or not, there’s going to be MORE AND MORE PEOPLE…. not just “hippies”, as everyone seems to want to think, but people of all different…. “labels” who come together, united in one common thing – to relax at the end of a long work week, (yes, we DO have jobs, ass hat) and enjoy the company of like-minded people….. we love the music, and we love the energy, we love the vibrance, the beauty, the mysticism of it all… and if you don’t like it, then move =) because we wont – and we’ll keep it going all through the winter… it will keep growing, as will your contempt for it. might as well nip it in the bud, and take it upon YOURSELF to move, before you go absolutely insane, being throttled with individuality, you boring, judgemental, conservative, fucks.
Not sure whats wrong with OP. A group of people getting together, not hurting anyone, and enjoying a public space? While OP sits inside their apartment complaining about others? I wonder how many cats OP has.
These hippies are friends of mine too by the way, so back off.
HOLLAAAAAAAAA!
this comment just made me DIE laughing. just when i thought halifax was getting all progressive, this numb nuts has to go and have a bad mood all over the internet.
grow some balls and come make some friends!
AND THEY AREN’T BONGOS, they’re djembes!
and both of my didjeridoos are wood, so i don’t know what PVC you are speaking of. the PVC in our group is for hula hooping.
love you all, no matter how bitter, cynical or sarcastic you get.
