I hate how when you start a business with a friend, it starts out all nice and we're working together, and then they get the whole boss ego. You make one mistake and they shove it down your throat like you just met them and like they've been doing your job forever better!

God damn! Sometimes people need to back off and smoke a little ganj! If you own a business, smoke up at least once bi-monthly, or start doing yoga and meditation!

+ something short:

Life's suddenly hard

I can feel something cathing up with me

Will life work out?

A big middle finger to drivers who just ignore the weather and barrell through the ice and snow without a thought for anyone but their dumbass selves. I almost got creamed a couple of times in yesterday's stormy by drivers who totally ignored the bad weather, were tailgating, cutting people off, swerving all over the road in a damn hurry. Most people, like myself just want to get home in one piece. I really don't give a shit if you want to wrap yourself around a pole but leave me the fuck out of the equation, you thoughtless twats.

Tired of Bad Drivers

I can't start by saying, To all of you cell phone users; cause I now have one myself. However, I still don't consider myself to be as horrible as the average user who thinks they HAVE to answer their phone just because its ringing! I mean really, it tells you who called if you miss it even if you don't have voice mail. You can call them back in a few minutes. While purchasing my first cell phone less than a month ago, I went with my boyfriend, while dealing with the sales person his phone rang not once but twice, he answered it both times, leaving me and the worker standing there to complain about the lack of ettiquette that comes along with cell phone use. I work for a financial institution and have come into many situations that leave me sitting at my wicket hands folded and staring at a client that thinks a conversation about their weekend events is more important than their finances. Sometimes I will proceed with the transaction, when it turns out it wasn't completed the way they intended its my fault casue they weren't paying attention. How many times have I almost lost my life because soemone thinks they can text and drive, or go 150km on the high way and talk on the phone. Come on people, think about what your doing. I don't want to talk to you if your on the toilet, so don't call me and please don't answer the phone!

happily awaiting a return call

thanks for scratching my new fucking cr store standers. at the halifax walmart. three weeks ago before the storm. and went into Walmart. in halifax i left my new mazda . parked thinking it was safe . i came out around 9pm. it had a fucking dent in it and a shopping cart beside it. scratches on the passenger side of the car . new fucking car i have to paint it now!!. i fucking mad where's the fuckers that take the carts into the fucking store. nowhere. i went back in and the basterds were loughing around talking, laoughing,! i'am sorry i have to boycott an already piece of shit store. walmart won't be getting my service agin!.

mad at those lazy fuckers.

My wife, who works in retail, recently found a wallet at her place of employment. Contained therein was every credit card known to mankind and $2000.00 cash.

Let me begin by saying that the gentleman who lost the wallet was EXTREMELY fortunate that it was someone like my wife who found it and not someone like myself who wouldn't have thought twice about lifting the cash out before returning it.

My wife and I are students and we have a child. I can only imagine how tempting, especially at Xmas time, it was for her to keep the cash.

However, she called the gentleman in question (why i am calling him a gentleman escapes me because he proves to be quite the contrary.) and had him collect the wallet.

This man did not even say thank-you. His only comment to my insanely honest wife was 'yeah, it would have been a pain replacing all those cards'.



Nice buddy...real nice. Even if you won't cough up a reward, and I say 'won't' because he was quite well off if judged by appearance and wallet thickness, the least you could do is say thank you.

disturbed at your actions.

To the countless idiots that insist on wearing all black outfits at night and "J" walking. You, the daft pedestrian may have the right of way, but that isn't going to bring you back to life when you go bouncing off someone’s hood.

Ps maybe black clothes are in style in the afterlife.

Idiots!!!!!

Hi. I recently came home to Halifax from my travels and studies in China. On my return Toronto and Halifax had just been hit with a snow storm so the airport was a little more heck tick than usual even for this time of year. Flights were backed up and luggage bags were no where to be found. I ended up arriving in Halifax at 11 pm and waiting until 1 am for bags to show up which they didn't. At this point the Halifax International Airport, who previously complained over the loud speaker that they were understaffed, told me and the many others still waiting for their baggage that no more bags were going to be released. Now my problem isn't that the airport was in a jam but that they are telling me that they don't have enough people for the job. It's winter, close to Christmas and everyone knows that there are tons of bags coming into the airport. Did someone forget to call in for some extra workers? I was there for two hours and if they wanted to pay me 20 dollars an hour I would've helped them throw some bags around if I thought it would help. Hell, I would have done it for free if I thought I was going to get my bag. On top of the airports understaffed issue they also have a organizational problem too. Or maybe they are connected. But all the bags in the airport were spread all over the place. There were no piles of certain flights baggage in certain spots and baggage from the same flight seemed to be coming out on all of the three conveyor belts that the small baggage claim room has. Also I was there for two hours waiting for the luggage that had been said was about to be placed on one of the carousels which it never was however the same bag was going around and around until some of waitees took some initiative and made some room for our bags that were never to come. Anyway to finish up it would have been nice if the airport just admitted they were backed up and told us a bit earlier that we might not get our luggage and that the best thing might be just to go home and check back in later. Instead they cried understaffed and under prepared.

One cool thing about the situation was the amount of complaints you heard amongst the people waiting. Sarcastic comments, zingers and plain outright bad mouthing! There was a lot of tension and It felt like at any minute a riot could break out.

Some of the things people complain about here are so trivial. Bad service in a restaurant? People on bikes? Too much or not enough development? Shit people, why not do something productive or just be happy for the relative comfort you probably enjoy in this city. Yeah life isn't always easy, but it's too short to become infuriated over every little thing. This column makes the average poster look like they hate life and everyone they meet. Be happy.
