I have some questions about marijuana and its use. Firstly, will people be allowed to smoke it in public? You can't drink in public, so I don't think be should be allowed to smoke a joint in public places. Next, I notice folks lighting up in their cars...WTF. You can't open a beer in your vehicle whilst driving, so the same should go for pot. I notice many pot smokers have lovely coughs...Marijuana is better than ciggies for your health....Oh, and the shit stinks like...well shit, or skunk piss at best. In short marijuana smokers may just be more obnoxious, assholish, and stinky than regular smokers. —Monty

Why do people 50 feet ahead insist on holding a door for you? They make eye contact and you are then compelled to hurry. Fuck that! My momma raised a man.  I'll get my door and hold it for those immediately behind me. You are welcome Halifax. I might have to start a blog on todays society. Who knows? Might get an audience 🙂—Walking With Coffee

To the lady who felt the need to yell out of her black car travelling toward downtown Dartmouth on Portland street yesterday at 4:30pm, about my lack of “eye contact.” I did, in fact, make eye contact with you as you were driving towards me as I crossed the crosswalk, and did with the truck that actually stopped for me as I crossed the crosswalk. BTW—you yelled at me after I had crossed the road, which means I crossed before you even got to the crosswalk, you dunce. Maybe pay attention a little sooner? —Tired of stupid drivers yelling stupid things

Make yourself a bit more approachable, if you want my hard earned money, say hi to myself or daughter, don't hide in shame behind your hat. Smile, get our attention, I don't do pity parties!! Do a little work for my hard earned money! —Smile for my loonies

Can you people, that try using the crosswalk, please get it through you thick skulls what a green and red light are.

I was driving down Lower Water Street on Sunday, heading north coming up to the intersection at George St. I had a green light, however I had to slow down as people were crossing back and forth (some not in the cross walk). I laid on the horn and people would just stand in the street staring at me not giving a shit that vehicular traffic have the right of way. Someone yelled something at me. If people are going to be this stupid then I need to get a bigger vehicle. —SASP (Society Against Stupid People)

Hey you! You know who you are! You're the guy using the ocean for an ashtray! I watched you gazing out into the scenery, and suddenly, without giving it a second thought, you flicked your butt into the water at the ferry wharf!  Argh! WTF! Since when has that been acceptable? Keep your bad habits to yourself and out of MY environment! —The Cinster

You used to allow me to have an account with The Coast. But now I have to join Google or Facebook. I am very disappointed in you. I feel I am being discriminated based on my right to associate with Yahoo. —Yahooian

Yes, pink is most certainly in the rainbow, but you are wrong to place it next to the violet. Pink belongs near the red because the red mixed with clouds will produce pink. —Showing some pride in the rainbow

Love that our government will spend money on the design and making of our money (new $10 bills and quarters that glow in the dark). Put it in to our wages, tired or working minimum wage while in school! —Working my way to paying more in taxes

Dear Pierre with hair,

My tax free day came one day later this year. The next time there is an election, my vote for you is coming coming one day later than my vote for the opposition. —Polls are closing with this voter.
