I walk by… er i should say I walk through your stupid bubbles every day on my to work… then again on lunch and on my way home…. you know what I dont like bubbles. I dont like the idea of some mystery bubble solution getting all over me and my clothes… save your bubbles for special events or the weekends and stop harassing me!!!

Yeah, stupid kids enjoying their bubbles. Mess off with those bubbles so I can get home in peace and proceed to lob kittens into my wood chipper.
Bubble machines make me happy, damnit.
Got to love how OB thinks that this business only plays with its bubble machine to annoy them. There certainly must be other routes to take while walking.
Bubbles are a great sight to see in the summer. Livens things up a little bit. And I’m thinking of a certain little store on Doyle Street, where there is definitely alternate routes.
OB must be one of those people who refuses to chat to the hairdresser while getting a haircut.
Only in Canada = )
Can you imagine people living in such as places as the West Bank/Gaza Strip surfing in to read this?
“Bubbles?” they think, “Surely they must mean bullets.”
I am so grateful I live here.
Bring on the bubbles!
I love bubbles! They make me happy!!
I’m gonna get out my bubble machine and place it on a route near that doyle st shop so that the OB gets double bubbled.
Awww . . . they’re just bubbles . . . what’s so bad about that?
The mystery bubble solution is nothing more frightening than soap, I believe.
Nothing to be afraid of, and could go along way towards cheering some people up.
Pretty sure no one is making you walk on that side of the street.
Holy Fuck…you’re complaining about walking through bubbles? I love bubble machines….try walking to work by urine soaked alleys and piles of puke from frat boys and the homeless! Fawk!
Let’s see, the OB know this bubble machine is there all the time, yet insists on walking through it rather than say, CROSS THE STREET. What a maroon.
I like bubbles quit whining
Maybe if you tried a bacon flavoured bubble-making machine you’d like them, OP.
Where is this>?
i would enjoy some bubbles!!!
p.s cross the street 🙂
Let’s have City Council meet in camera to discuss regulating these vile perpetrators, the nerve of some people. We need to hire “bubble consultants”, trust me, in this day and age there are these people; pay them an outrageous fee and then introduce regualtions to end this infringement on the OP’s senstitivites – or to save money, throw the OP off the bridge.
My sis in law had some bubbles last week at her birthday bash, made in China of course, the bubbles not her, and the cheap buggers no longer put in the stick with the circle in it to make bubbles! does anyone know what they call that little gizmo?
ahh……….A bubble maker?
A ‘dipstick’?
They’re called bubble wands. Google only has instructions for homemade wands, but I found this gem when perusing eBay: http://twurl.cc/1j4q . Think it works??
Her daughter is a NSCAD grad so she made a very creative wand – all turned out well in the end, with the aid of copious amounts of alcohol
The dish scrubber?
From the local news this year ( and more than just this year) bullets are flying around Halifax probably just about as much as bubbles !
They’re hitting about the same amount of people as well & fortunately, there hasn’t been any more killed by bullets or bubbles !
it would be kewl if they where achohol based bubbles……
Well OB, aren’t you just a lovely person to be around.
This has got to be written by the crustiest, most cynical, bitter, uptight, cranky person ever… Killjoy
i’m gettin me some bubbles to blow…maybe one of those cool little lawn mowers…oh there will be bubbles
If your style of bubble making with a bubble dipstick is not that of waving it around for the air to force the bubbles out, and you simply blow the bubbles out yourself with air through the lips, then I think it is not a wand you are holding, but a blow stick.
