Is it just me or is our city riddled with garbage?
I bike back and forth to work everyday and also jog on a regular basis, I can’t help but notice how much garbage is just thrown on the ground around here. Granted the city could probably put up a few more garbage cans but what the fuck, what kind of asshole just throws their garbage on the ground? Are we really getting that lazy ?

I agree; it takes a real arsehole to litter.
That said, Halifax is full of real arseholes.
You should have seen India!
Not to defend our local “litterfucks”, but it is a whole new level over there.
We’ve nurtured a entire A.D.D. generation that can multitask but can’t read. Can fuck like rabbits but can’t tell the difference between an infant and a beanie baby. Can text all day but don’t understand words like Please, Thank You and Excuse Me. Can communicate across the world on something half the size of a deck of smokes but somehow the technology of the garbage can eludes them. This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang; with a simper.
Seriously? You said all that like it was a new disturbing trend, people have been littering since they had shit to throw on the ground.
I blame the bums that go through garbage bags (like the ones that go through mine)…they rummage through all the bags and pull out everything and just leave what they don’t want scattered on the ground. And those darn rakins!
So because it’s been happening for a long time that makes it ok funk ? We shouldn’t be disgusted by it anymore is that what your saying ?
Those pointy faced cats are at least cute; better than the 2 legged variant at any rate. On Saturday I got to see a blubagger cop a pissy cuntitude because the guy selling Spuds who used to be Bud told him to clean up the mess he made at the 3 hole garbage bin next to the truck. Should have baptized the little spacker in hot fat.

This is what happens when you stop collecting garbage. Enough with the flies, the mice, the rats, the bugs…
Can we just have our regular weekly garbage collection back? This is not working.
Halifax, especially the Dartmouth side, is one of the dirtiest cities I’ve ever been in North America. Never fails to amaze me that people here think American cities are all dirty while this city is a cesspit.
Ever notice the smokers throwing their coffee cups and cig butts out their car windows……just watch Joseph Howe Drive or Quinpool for 15 minutes.
sebastian…I have noticed this. Up close. From the front seat of my motorcycle. A live butt in the face at 100 km an hour just makes my day! Ducking garbage sucks too! Ignorant bastards!
BTW: Vehicular littering isn’t peculiar to Nova Scotia. I’ve encountered it in other provinces as well.
i feel for you o.p., why not get hold of waste management, and apply for a job there, then you can rest easy that you helped make this stinkhole look and smell better.
Pavillion…what did you do stay in the malls & airports of these cities ?
I was just in Winnepeg, stayed right downtown, wandered the neighborhood & the garbage there is as bad as here, the river was worse than the harbour for floating garbage ! !
I went to Tampa last year..holy Jesus, out walking the roadways, unbelievable the amount of garbage & they don’t recycle cans & bottles, you could fill a 5 ton truck with this in a walk of a kilometer ! !
Try walking downtown Manhattan at night when the bustle of the human population is at a dull roar, & see the garbage there…I have never seen as much garbage here EXCEPT on the ground after an outdoor concert !
You gotta stay out of the antiseptic areas of other cities, or just compare their malls with our malls !
The cities “PLAN” to save money by getting rid of garbage cans is really increasing the problem along with mall parkinglots, where there is no longer any garbage cans in sight.
Trouble with public garbage cans is, if they are not constructed out of concrete rebar and anchored to the ground, they become weapons of glass destruction in the hands of the “I’m fuckin bored dude lets get high and smash shit” mujaheddin. Check out the deep ditch behind the first bus stop in DC. It is filled, not just with the detritus of the fast food industry, but shopping carts, bikes, umbrellas. It’s like Wallyworld for dumpster divers. But, no trash cans means that the HRM hasn’t had to replace the glass in the bus shelter – Yet.
Once we forcibly depopulate the urban areas things will be much cleaner.
Most of these useless subdivisions will be torn down and what can’t be planted in vegetables will be turned into nature parks for the enjoyment of higher echelon party members.
The trash throwers and litterbugs will learn the meaning of respect (for nature) whilst tilling the good earth in the Annapolis Valley. Garbage dumping will not be tolerated on the ‘Farms’ and even human waste, as in ‘humanure’, will find its uses.
I can hardly wait. How about you?
Isn’t there a whole nother bitch about ‘humanure’ around here somewhere?
Humanure uses rises to the top level of the Party Echelons, if history is anything to judge by.
And that should have read “Humanure usually rises..”
Hoist like my own retard – LOL.
well at least you aren’t a pussy, Ivan, my king.
D’OH! >: )
Sounds like a good job for all those douchebags sitting around in the burnside jail sucking up all the free food and tv. But I supose if you actually made them do something they will probably go on strike.
When are we gonna get new bitches? You’re told it will take up to 12 hours for bitches to be posted. So what’s with the 3-day lags??
Maude has said previously that the latter half of the week has her busy with other coastie matters.
Hey Maude, we didn’t put you in deep kim-chi with the halifanus thread, did we?
Mighta danced a little close to the line, hopefully not over it. >: )
we were skirting the edge with that one…any literary geniuses darkening your doorway ivan?
Tha lad I work with swears that Bill Kristol of Fox news was in on Monday. He was allegedly polite, didn’t try to haggle and may even have *shocked gasp* tidied up a section or two. At the very least he didn’t add the general atmosphere of genteel, post-apocalyptic anarchy which pervades. Gots to gib de debbil his due.
well at least it wasn’t glenn beck he’s been busy talkin ’bout guns and god *snort
Oh yes, he’s playing MLK lite this weekend. I too had a dream. It involved me flying #2 Right Slot with the Blue Angels and Katy Perry with no clothes on. And then the ballet dancing hippos from Fantasia showed up talking in high pitched helium voices and telling me that I had wasted my life………Hey, I never said it made sense! Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Is there a Christer convention in town this weekend? A lot of folk with what appear to be high morals and low foreheads have been coming in through the doors and asking for Jebus stuff.
I’m forced to comment on this because it’s Monday and for some reason no bitches have been posted since Wednesday, annnd I’m bored.
I don’t think Halifax is the dirtiest city in North America or even close to it… lol. I was in Toronto at the beginning of August and it smelled like pure, hot, rotting garbage. Don’t get me wrong, I love Toronto. But it was sick. Severely nauseating.
I know eh? It’s the start of another work week – and I could totally use some new bitches.
there have been some disturbances in the force…rawk? miss maudey?
She’s back! Or someone is… new bitches 🙂
It is I peeps,
I do apologize for the delay in Bitches, but I moved on Friday, and just got internet functioning in the new place late last night due to some system problems with my provider (likely due to the influx of students and new connections).
I’ll be posting a crap load of new stuff today… That said, I should clarify: while I (generally) try to have new posts up approximately 24 hours, there is no policy that says they have to be posted that often. But for your enjoyment, and to keep the ‘Bitches in Waiting’ to a minimum I will continue to post regularly – except when I’m moving. But next time I’ll let you know in advance if there’s an expected delay – which I meant to do on Thursday, but it slipped my mind).
No worries Maude, just glad to hear you’re not on the milk carton.
Or stumbling out of the trunk of a car… welcome back!
Thanks beeps, you are awesomeness in material form.
