OK, I didn’t think I would have to do this or submit anything like this to The Coast, but I have to. It’s the way people drive. Either they drive too slow, or they drive too fast for the conditions and are running stop signs. I’m a professional driver who drives for a living, and […]

Where you been?
Once upon a time, there was a sweet little ticker tape that ran through the entire print edition of The Coast. It was situated at the bottom (or the top?) of each page. I can’t recall if there was a specific focus for the ticker, how often I even read it all the way through […]

Stunned pedestrians
This is for the stunned millennials at the Brunswick/Prince Street lights. When the lights turned green for traffic and you walked in front of moving traffic without a care in the world like it was your turn? I won’t say you deserve to be hit by said traffic, but maybe when you reach the other […]

The end of Point Pleasant Park????
I recently read in the news that HRM has plans to improve (??) the conditions at Point Pleasant Park. Basically, they want to eliminate 80,000 trees from a section of 100,000 trees in PPP. In the article, you’ll see that they plan on leaving the 80,000 felled trees to rot and provide nourishment for the […]

STOP TEXTING AND DRIVING!!
While I was stopped on the Bedford Highway waiting to make a turn, a driver who was texting RAMMED into the back of me at 60km an hour. I had a newborn, toddler and pre-teen in the car with me. What the hell is so important that you have to fucking answer a text while […]

Rudeness just ruins my day
To the man sitting in his car outside the Superstore in the BLIP last week: I apologized sincerely several times to you after my mini shopping cart bumped into your passenger side door. I expected grumpiness and momentary irritation (understandable) but the moment the cart touched the door, you began screaming at me. I […]

To the unfit mom on the #9
I witnessed your hissy fit in front of a busload of passengers. I can’t believe you would risk your child’s safety and wellbeing by insisting he/she stay in that plastic car. The driver simply asked you to seat the child with you. You were rude, condescending and frankly abusive. The supervisor and driver were willing […]

To the women at the Women’s Choice Clinic that assisted me during my abortion
Among the contentious debate in the United States concerning women’s right to choose, I found myself in the midst of making my own choice: To continue with an unplanned pregnancy, or to access Halifax’s abortion services. I chose the latter. Naturally, I was scared of the process, and scared about the judgement that I could […]

STOP TAKING MY PAPER RECYCLING!!!
I can’t put my paper and plastic (with no refundables) out the night prior because you steal the entire street’s recycling!! WTF?? Knock it off, weirdos. I’m starting to hate this city because of trespassing idiots that do shit like this. —Normal citizen

Can I dump a kid in a compost bin?
I‘m cleaning my motorbike in my driveway. Kids walk by, one of them looks at me, crosses onto my lawn and dumps my compost bin over. I chased him, but am out of shape. I will catch him and paddle his little ass. Call the police—I don’t care. Kids are not held responsible, so I […]

Used to feel sorry for beggars
An assistant manager at a busy shopping area saw a beggar stick his props (crutches that particular day) under his arm, wander over to his nice car, toss them in and drive away. Since then I don’t feel sorry for beggars—they’re often duping us all. —Not So Naive Anymore

42-year-old handsome teacher (great smile, salt-and-pepper curls, ink)
I really enjoyed talking with you over the last few days, A. I had planned to ask you out today but was disappointed to see you’d disappeared (one of the many cons of today’s dating culture). If I see you around, I shall bite the bullet and risk asking. Happy summer! If you read this […]
