    This goes out to the 2 staff working @ the mall, Friday June 22 in the A.M. I walked around your store 3 times, waiting for someone to speak to me.... You walked directly in my path TWICE! I looked at you, smiled, and you just kept walking!!! Did you kno

  • Barren Barrington

  • Make Me Puke

    So MacIsaac gets married with his and his mugs on the front page of the Daily Snooze. Am I offended because he's smooching his boyo? Naw, I'm too civilized for that. What offends me is that he should receive so much attention from the media after the dis

  • Nacho Nacho Man

    To a certain lunch dive downtown - don't let your menu read that nachos are your specialty, pal, then serve me up eight soggy nachos and two fucking tons of cheese that could clog the arteries of every doctor in HRM. If you do the math, you'd discover i

  • Land of the walking idiots

    I applaud walking, really i do. however, when someone is in a car at an intersection, why must the vast majority of the walking population insist on crossing the street in front of the car, and not behind it ? is it that difficult to comprehend that you

  • Rotary Idiot

    Last night, some dick comes screaming through the Armdale rotary in his gleaming SUV, laying on the horn until he exited towards Spryfield. Everyone else had to scream to a halt to let this impatient, reckless bastard zoom thru. Travelling thru the rot

  • Why bother taking reservations???

    I called a moving company on May 24th to book a truck for my move on July 1st. I made a reservation for a 10’ truck from 9am June 30th to July 2nd at 9am. I was assured that there would be a truck available for that time period, although they could not p

  • Viewing Displeasure

    To the group of guys sitting behind us in the park lane theater showing 'Distrubia.' Do you think you're so special that you can have no consideration of others? I didn't pay nine bucks to listen to the idiotic and disrespectful comments of jack-offs all

  • street dumb

    All right, so it's an easy fight to pick, but I'm only swinging back here; enough with the faux slacker "appeal" of those back-to-school ads by, for example, phone companies. Why is it that an advertising wanker who, typically, works a desk 9-5, lives i

  • Art Supply Store

    I usually shop at Loomis but today I was near another art supply store and thought I would check it out. This was my first and last time. The employees were rude and seemed very unhappy, cranky and unwilling to help. Also, most items were priced higher t

  • Employers Pay attention!!!!

    I would just like to know when it became acceptable for employers to expect their employees to put in 110% effort while being paid casual wages ( or NON- DECENT wages) with NO benefits what so ever. Or they make the employees pay partial to have benefi

  • Knock down, drag out

    We were having a smoke outside of a bar on Spring Garden and this A.H. asks for a smoke and we didn’t have any more, so we told him, “Sorry, we don’t have one.” Then he walks away but comes back and knocks my guy out cold. Lots of people were standing cl

  • No cry zone

    Thanks to the bitch that fired me because I had been crying all morning over family issues—I told you I couldn’t come to work, and you said I was not professional because of that. Well, you were not professional in the way you fired me, so don’t even go

    Recently I have been reading about the 911 conspiracy as well as the moon landing conspiracy but here is one I bet you will all be shocked and awed to read. I have figured out that our whole being on the planet Earth is one large government conspiracy!!!

  • Aggressive Panhandlers

    Rattlin' cups aside, this city should have a law controlling aggressive panhandlers like the dude that cruises the Rainne Drive/North Park Street every supper hour. This mother walks right up to your frigging car, looking for Aqua Velvet money - that's

  • Identification Please

    If you are 19 and go out to drink in Halifax, take your goddamn ID. If a bartender asks for it, just show it. Don't be annoyed, or insulted, or outraged. "Oh my god I have'nt been asked for so long!" Then the server looks at your ID and it says 1987.Give

    Look, everyone has the right to express their own political beliefs, be they liberal or conservative, communist or socialist, etc. But if I see one more of those fucking "Support Our Troops" magnets I am going to pull my hair out. Those magnets were orig

  • Creeps on Dartmouth Waterfront

    To the creeps who now inhabit the waterfront park by the Dartmouth Ferry Terminal: Why can't you be human beings and let people walk in peace, secure in the notion that they are not being cruised? Do you think it's attractive to a stranger to see you sta

  • Bottled rage

    To the scavenger outside my window early Tuesday morning: I don't reallly give a shit if you want to paw through the garbage for my apartment building, but do you have to do it at 6AM??? Most people, unlike you, have jobs that they have to go to, and my

    I'm going to be as polite about this as possible, as I don't want to stoop to your low low level. This poor excuse of a gym has made me realize there is a reason why we have alternatives. Don't waste your money. I should have known this privately run “

    Hey you with the blue hoodie & puffy eyes on the 52 from Highfield Park on Friday...cut up your weed elsewhere! Kids ride that bus. And so do I. And I have no interest in your drug habits, nor does the majority of the city. It isn't cool, and it isn't le

  • Tall shits

    During the Tall Ships, I was kicked off the waterfront for busking. I was told I had to pay $2,000 to perform. Why does the Waterfront Commission stifle local talent? The official performers, whether at Tall Ships or Buskers, are mostly imported. No, I d

  • Hit-and-Run

    To the souless, heartless bastard in his Smart car who hit the dog on the corner of Windsor and Charles Monday evening, it would've been an accident. What made you a despicable coward was the fact you drove away. Karma's a bitch, my friend, and someday

  • Phoque off

    Why do news shows think that people want to see baby seals getting clubbed on ice floes? They never say: You may not want your children to watch the following...Why are seals different than dogs, cats, other animals? It's enough that I have to see peop

  • Late show

    To the rude asshole-ette in the Oxford Theatre last Wednesday, thanks so much for ruining my (and everyone else's) viewing by coming in 25 minutes late for the movie and whining loudly about how there are no seats left. And sorry my bag was on the seat y

  • Cell Phones

    People I have four words for you...PUT DOWN THE PHONE. Excessive cell phone use is literally ruining our social fabric. Remember 10 years ago when we all just walked around, taking in our environment, talking to the people we were actually with, paying a

  • Green Losers

    OK Green Party, WTF is up with your candidates for the last election anyway? I for one, wanted to vote for you but after checking out the available crop of potential people to send to the legislature, ended up only losing a lot of respect for the party.

  • Sidewalk hogs

    I have never had a problem with people standing on the sideway smoking but when they look at you as you are walking by and don't move, that upsets me. Have you ever tried walking down Ochteloney in the morning and there are at least three or four people

  • VG Transition Unit for the Elderly

    There's no way that these poor seniors should be living with such poor air quality, filthy laundry and rusty equipment - isn't hospital food punishment enough for these poor individuals? What a horrible way to treat people who have paid taxes for 50+ y

    To the small group of asshole dog owners who insist on NOT cleaning up after their pets. I really appreciate having to scrap dog shite from the soles of my 19 month old son's boots after a visit to the playground. To those of you who visit Conrose Park

  • Pay me!

    Yeah, I quit. Because you lied to me about the job when you hired me. But I showed up for work and worked, you have to pay me! It's only 200 bucks. But that's my 200 bucks. So just because you "can't find my cheque" or it's apparently "lost in the mail"

  • Double standard

    To the HRM Council: If I'm not mistaken, isn't it the responsiblity of the "property owner's" to remove graffitti from their property within 24 hrs? I drive to work everyday on the Bicentenial Hwy and the same GIANT piece of graffitti has been on the Ex

  • Rock beefs

    I attended concert on the hill, and while I thought it was a great concert, I had some beefs about the layout. First of all, the stage was facing the concession area, and not the hill which is where most people were sitting. That made no sense!Second, a

  • Guns N' Roses Security

    On Monday night, around 9000 GN'R fans flooded the metro centre for what had to be the best rock show to hit this city in over decade. Granted, Axl is notorious for finding ways of bringing out the worst in a crowd, but this was an extremely well-behaved

  • I.D. but no service?

    On our way to see the Beginners play, my friends and I decided to go for a pre show Beer at a local smoking bar. We go there all the time because we are gross and still smoke. Imagine our surprise when one of us got ID'd, showed her perfectly valid Nova

  • I need my licence

    I really, really love it when: I am trying to catch the bus that will take me to work when all of a sudden it pulls away from the curb after I have been not just walking but really running fast flailing my arms in the air like a maniac while people on t

  • Hey, Shithead!

    I can't count the number of times other so-called drivers have cut me off or screamed in front of me without so much as a glance in my direction. Maybe they think if they don't look at me, I'll disappear out of their tunnel vision. Only by the grace of

  • Taxi cab confession

    To the drunk girls on Windsor Street, 12:30am on Saturday standing in the middle of the road: Oh, you party with the big kids now? Cars without cab lights are NOT cabs. You don’t need to stand in the middle of the road pissing off drivers to prove how co

    This is to the bitch who left the nasty note on my car when I was at the grocery store last week. I am 12 weeks pregnant with TWINS and I am SICK. I park in the “expectant mothers parking” space and drag my ass into the store to find ginger ale and popsi

  • Bend Over For Another Tax Grab

    Have you seen the changes in the provincial Motor Vehicle Inspection Act? With all the new additional checks, one out of every two cars is going to fail. A friend of mine proved this point when he brought in his eight month old car. Yep, it failed be

  • The Traffic Bitch

  • Barrington Street Bums

    Why do businesses allow bums to stand right in their entrances? Barrington Street is a prime example. Who wants to go into a place with some lazy prick rattling a fucking cup under your nose? Isn't there a loitering law in this backwater burg? It's pret

  • Eggs-cellent

    This bitch is not for the kid who threw the egg through the only open window on bus and hit the only passenger (me) that night. Kids are stupid, and that was pretty good aim. No, this Bitch is for today, three weeks after the egg, when I was riding the b

    I am so mad at all those people who ruined ordering pizza if you live in the north end! I guess my pizza place of choice must’ve had too many bad experiences down here, ’cause I can’t get them to deliver to me on Gottingen. I hate being lumped into a cat

  • If it’s too loud…

    I’m so fed up with grey power. These old fucks take up way too much space and their demands are out of control. I couldn’t believe it when I moved here and was told by the landlord that there’s a by-law that restricts noise after 9:30pm on weekdays and 7

  • Dems fightin’ words

    I’m wondering if I’m the only one who is starting to get scared of being downtown in Halifax at night. I know way too many people who have been jumped and beaten by groups of 5 to10 people. And for what? The assailants don’t even bother to steal anything

  • Suburban Wannabe Gangsters

    To the two guys in the bright blue PT Cruiser on Dublin and Almon, late Sunday night, who tried to get fresh with me while I was innocently biking home: get a life. I'm not sure what you were trying to prove in half-assedly trying to door me, and then ge

    To the cab driver (Yellow Cab number 958) who pulled a U-turn right in front of me on Quinpool to go downtown while he had a passenger in the backseat: You suck. I almost hit you and would have killed your passenger. U-turns are ILLEGAL in Nova Scotia an

  • Classic Rock

    I've figured it out: we have so many classic rock stations since the beneficent radio conglomerates don't want us, a have-not province, to spend our money on good/ current/ local music. Thank God the Q or Hal never tried to promote any concerts at Stage

  • Season’s beatings

    To the bastard who kicked me in the back at the grocery store on Dec. 3: The cameras don’t show me bumping you with my cart, but they have a real good picture of your ugly mug kicking me in the back. I hope I see you again so I can give you your Christma

  • Uninformed drivers

    To the old geezer in the cute little red sports car on University Avenue. Learn the rules of the road! Bicycles have as much right on the streets as you. It is not only impolite, it is rude and stupid to swear and honk your cute-little-horn at bicyclist

  • bike it or not #2

    I just had a great laugh reading over the comments on a bitch I posted a while back titled “bike It or not” (Nov 2.) Obviously some of the folks commenting lack critical thinking skills and did not get the basic meaning (perhaps I was too fictitious).

  • Keep The Pride

    For a week every July, I feel am proud to witness all the progression our city makes to involve queer folks in the community. It seems, however, that this is the only time we Haligonians want to show our pride. Part of the reason our city is so damn clos

    So, it's like being touched for the very first time--lugging my fucking groceries home from you, Quinpool Superstore. You super-suck with those ghetto-ass, thin plastic bags you hawk. I'm a damn student who lives more than ten blocks away and no buses go

    To the bikers who hang out at Bearly’s: It may come as a shock to you that people actually live near your favourite haunt, and actually sleep at 1:30am on Wednesdays, when you decide to sit outside and rev your bikes for 10 minutes. If you’re looking to

    You know who you are. Yes, the ones that don't say hello or even acknowledge me, the customer. I only have a few items (that's why I'm in the express lane) and I'm not causing you any problems or giving attitude. I'm just wondering why you don't even

  • Dead wrong’d

    This goes out to the thieves who thought that the Barrington Street burial grounds would be a good place to stash their shit. As if stealing from people who have never wronged you isn’t bad enough, you’re going to use this consecrated holy ground to stas

  • To Mr OR Ms "Plant a Garden"

    I am assuming that your inspirational quotes so lovely spray painted all over the city are an attempt to either make some positive cosmetic changes or to in some way help the environment. I hope the irony hasn't been lost on you. The designs you painte

  • Repressed City?

    Less a bitch than an inquiry.Maybe one exists but outside of a few aging drag queens at Reflections and the quite excellent sex shop Venus Envy, there doesn't seem to be much of a sex "scene" in Halifax at all. As far as I can tell, there're no fet pa

  • Not a punk!

    I am so sick and tired of being treated like a criminal by what sadly seems to be a majority of older people. I was yelled at by a bus driver today for wearing headphones simply because I was unaware that the 14 that I was on didn't turn into the 61. D

  • Quiet riot

    What's with the librarians who don't have in-door voices? In the King's library, it's the librarians I want to SHHH---. I don't get it, shouldn't they know better than anyone to keep it down?

  • Rotten Food

    To the very rude people at the restaurant on Quinpool Road. It was not the waitress's fault that your sausages were rotten. Check the dates on your products and please have the decency of coming to talk to the customer instead of sending the waitress to

  • Joint effort

    I have to snort every time I see devoted joggers doing their little dances down the sidewalks in Halifax. How long do you think your knees will take the
