I was walking down the sidewalk today when I was literally forced off it by two women walking side by side. I had to step around their selfish asses and got a headful of water running off the shop’s eavestrough above, ruining my hair! Learn some sidewalk etiquette, people! If you’re walking down the sidewalk […]

Tanx bys
Love is alive in Halifax! My car battery died at the casino. One guy stopped with his girlfriend, but couldn’t get it going and my cables fried. Another guy also came over to help, but no luck. I headed to the casino’s front desk to call a tow truck, and the female employee suggested asking […]
Thank you for not driving
Let’s think about all of the common reasons why drivers get frustrated with pedestrians—they’re slow, they’re erratic and unpredictable, they’re distracted or inattentive, they don’t obey traffic signals, they don’t wear visible clothing and so on. (There are good pedestrians too, but we don’t complain about them.) Now let’s imagine those people driving the way […]
Pizza sauce
I need to get this off my chest. Pizza shops in Halifax: Your pizza tastes great, it has potential, but…and there is a but! You neeeed to start cooking your pies for longer or at a higher temp. The bready parts are almost raw, it’s so squishy and floppy. Like, it can be sort […]
There really ought to be a law
So this week a couple of guys from St. FX were found not guilty of sexual assault. The judge found that the three-way they had with an unnamed woman was by all accounts consensual (seems there were partygoers and others wandering into the bedroom from time to time who became witnesses). My Bitch is why […]
Got your name, but not your number
I‘m generally not one to talk up strangers in grocery store check-out lines, but there was something about our exchange of smiles and gazes around the store that compelled me to check out with you. Watching you shudder, then laugh was the perfect reaction to me describing my art. I shouldn’t have let you leave […]
Good times…
It took four hours to get home from work the other night due to the storm, including 90 minutes outside waiting for the bus (any bus) to show up. Luckily I wasn’t alone. Shout out to my new bus stop friends. Red jacket guy, “I went all the way to Sackville” girl, lotsa cursing man, […]
Love for The Coast
My very first job was delivering The Daily News as a teenager; sad to see Metro go. Have been reading The Coast since you first started. Hope you find the printer that is right for you so we can all continue reading your great Halifax paper. Cheers! —Sporty Forty
Maybe hire a copy editor too
Hiring managers of the HRM, please run your job titles and descriptions through a spellchecker before publishing positions to job boards. It isn’t clear if the title “Escavator Operator” involves construction or maintaining automatic stairs. Your “Costumer Service” role involves no dressing up, and I am concerned if your restaurant needs a “Shit Manager” (I […]

Cosmic love
I never thought I’d meet anyone that I loved like I loved her. I thought that the days of butterflies were long behind me. Never did I expect for you to be the one I wanted to stay up with late at night. Wake up beside. And kiss every day for the rest of my […]
Addiction awareness
Hey The Coast. Good job having two articles talking about addiction followed immediately by an article about a new drinking hole. Do you realize that alcohol is the biggest addiction issue in Nova Scotia? —Lame Game
