I don’t understand why there are always so many bitches. Good things don’t happen to people? You wake up saying “today is going to suck”? Stop being so negative all the time. I’m sure you could definitely write about some love but no all you people wanna do around here is bitch and bitch and bitch. I never realized how negative of a city this was. It’s almost disgraceful to say i’m from here everyone is so hateful. Write about what makes you smile once in a while instead of what irks your nerves. Be positive. You make the Grinch (before his heart grew) seem like a happy person. —Tired of Constant Negativity

A lot of the time the bitches put a smile on my face. 🙂
Which is precisely why the love section exists…

Hello? Idiot.
Would you rather people held in all their bitches? Speaking about a problem is the first step to solving it.
Anyways, it’s good to bitch and get out whatever is stressing you out. Don’t you feel better now after bitching???
Otherwise people would just hold it in all the time, pressure would build, and then one day they’re sitting at their desk at work reading The Coast and… POW! BOOM! They blow all the windows out of their 4th story office.
Let’s see – my Hub-Unit has been in constant, unrelenting pain and unable to walk for the last 7 years and not one doctor or specialist knows what the fuck is wrong with him – my heart breaks every day I watch him struggle – yeah, I’ve got lots to smile about, OP. Now fuck off and stuff a smiley face up yer arse.
Judging society or even the community by what you read on here is sort of like judging a city by what you see on the evening news. The good is out there when you seek it. This site is a pressure valve for grievances, major & frivolous, a stage for capering buffoons (like meself) and occasionally a platform for exchanging ideas and points of view. Make of it, what you will.
LTWWL …….. fuck me!
I tend to read these for the funny parts! I agree that we should spread the love more, but sometimes you can feel a sense of love when you read comments that support the OP in their state of distress.
Well, OB … you actually had a choice … but you yourself even failed to represent the ‘love’ side and opted for ‘bitch instead. It would have been quite easy for you to write a love declaring how much you enjoy that section, or prefer it over the bitch section, because of the positive attitude that’s associated with the majority of the posts. So … to me … that makes you guilty of what you yourself are bitching about. How ironic. 😉
I am a glass half full kinda person … but I’m also guilty of having moments on the dark side.
Can you imagine the unbelievable gall of people coming to a bitch site to bitch !
OB, next you’ll be complaining about how often people here in Halifax complain about our weather !
BTW, OB … clever way to goad the bitchers into bitching some more … or to initiate a little action on the love side of the board, which has been stagnant since Tuesday.
Um. OB.
There are what? 3-4-5 bitches a day during the week day? And what? MAYBE 20 regulars and a bunch of others?
THE POPULATION OF HALIFAX IS 380,000! AND THAT’S THE ENTIRE COUNTY.
GO FIGURE OUT WHAT 5 DIVIDED INTO 380,000, IDIOT.
I’d rather bitch than be a bitch about bitching
Irony? Not so much as hypocritical!!
ALSO: IF YOU DON’T LIKE PEOPLE BITCHING, WHY DO YOU VISIT THE BITCH SITE?
I’M WRITING IN CAPS ON PURPOSE BECAUSE IT IS INTERNET SPEAK FOR ME YELLING AT YOUR DUMB ASS.
i see their point to a degree… like there is way more bitches than loves. granted everyone has hardships in their life and bitching is a good way to help with it. but there reallly is much more bitches than loves. i love venting. makes me feel good but i dont really think you need to call them dumb and everything about their opinion
They are perfectly capable of having their opinion, atecookie, but their bitching is stupid because if they don’t like it, why do they visit?
And all the love section is, is basically people going on about how they like someone but are too much of a pussy to say anything. That gets old FAST. At least there’s variety in the bitch section (to a degree — I am fully aware the main themes here are bus bitches, smoking bitches, etc… but I’d rather read and talk about that shit than read someone’s stupid longing for someone or them going on about how they’re too pussy to do anything about it and read the same comments over and over “ooooh you should tell them!” FFS).
again… opinion. no opinion is stupid and if thats how they feel than let them vent it. i dont find every love is about how people are too much of a pussy to say they like someone. but thats my opinion. i dont think one should be shot down for how they think
*shrug* when the solution to your issue (or opinion, which OB is classifying as a ‘problem’) is something as simple as not clicking on the LTWWB link or typing it into their browser, than yes, their opinion is stupid.
Instead of taking some personal responsibility and saying “I don’t like the content here, so I won’t visit the site” OB basically says “instead of just not visiting this site, I’m going to blame it on everyone else for doing something I don’t like because it’s not my fault I visit this site!” And that makes OB a SET and it’s a well known fact around these parts that SETs are dumb as fuck.
I’m sure no one put a gun to OB’s head to visit LTWWB.
And if OB’s OPINION is that all halifax does is bitch, well that opinion is dumb too. 5 bitches a day translates into 0.001% of the population, and let’s say we have 50 bitchers around here commenting regularly (upping the number of bitchers in favour of OB) — we come up with 0.01% of the population of Halifax, which, does, in fact, make her opinion wrong (and dumb if the thought that LTWWB represents the whole of Halifax is still their ‘opinion’ after seeing these stats).
It’s why i come on here and get so nasty OP. Most of the things people bitch about are actually sort of funny and worth a chuckle if they had a better attitude. Or they’re about how the world doesn’t cater to them. all the damned time. Or it’s about how THEY fucked up and it’s SOMEONE ELSE’S fault.
<3 u op. Let's spam the love board.
I feel like that commercial for that one-cup coffee maker that uses barcodes….
“Lookin’ sharp. I like what I see”
“Sorry I’m late”
“Wait. And you would be….?”
“Don’t you remember? We work together”
“Noooooo”
“I’m here to talk about spreading love.”
“Ah. Love the way we love board……….over there!” *Weird one-legged point shuffle*
“Ahhhh…sorry”
“Ok. What is with these love people?”
combining two bitches, clever clint *ding ding ding*
Marry me, vastie.
miss kitty, your secret bf is a lego doll
That chick in that barcode-coffee-maker commercial is H-H-Hot! One of the few seasonal promos I look forward to.
but whos to say that this is solely the blame for them thinking its just this site for the negativity? like i see what you mean but i dont think its “dumb”. but leave them with how they feel
@O.C. – Ditto that, my sister. >; )
Das Giggity
confess evil demon^^i just finished creating a jasmine rice, chickpea, curry concoction that would knock your socks off
@ Ivan-a-bitch: giggity indeedity…can’t even say why she is so hot, she’s not ultra-feminine. Oh, maybe that’s it…though, I likes me all kindsa wimmins, fem and not so. That chick makes me want to drink coffee even though I’m not a coffee person per se.
Presence & attitude. As les French say – a certain I don’t know what. It beats platypus lips and protruding ribs every time.
ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET at Painey’s Temple of Doom, tonite. Kali-MAH!
So you like women OC, that explains a lot.
tee hee 😉
OB, yet you read it.
As for OP..
It’s human nature to talk about the things that piss us off more than the things that make us happy, because we tend to take those things for granted. That’s why, in my two years here, I’ve yet to get a call at my job saying “hey, just calling to say thanks for paying me accurately and on time this week! Keep up the good work!”
This is a bitch board, we come here to bitch. As I’ve said before, it has made me a more positive person in real life, because it provides an outlet for my frustrations, and let’s me see different points of view. When I write a bitch and people agree with it, it makes me feel good that I’m not alone. It’s not as if the people who write these bitches are going and forcing them on people who don’t want to hear them, people come here to read the bitches.
So fuck off, if no one bitched we wouldn’t have a site to come to, and I don’t think any of us want that to happen, or we wouldn’t come here. If you don’t like reading bitches go and find something you do like.
The reason I mentioned the human nature was to illustrate that bitching is not exclusive to this Halifax.
Have a good night bitchers.
Tbh I don’t know how much longer I can keep reading the bitch boards regularly and commenting etc etc … It seems fun on the surface, sure but in the long run is draining to read about bitching all the time. As far as the love section goes, I read that a lot and submit a few there but hardly ever feel compelled to comment.
Ah, such is life.
I see of lot of bitches receiving love and support when they come here to vent. So if you break it down that way, there’s actually a lot of positive to be found on the bitch boards. There’s a lot of experience and wisdom to be found here. I think you just have a negative attitude, OB.
but o.p., with the bitches here, we would all have nothing to do. some of us trolls live for the misery of others, and the heartache of psorisis
that should have been( without the bitches here).
LTWWB is a place for people to vent about aggravating things big and small. It stands to reason that you will find a lot of negativity here. By very definition that’s what you should find. I like reading the comments probably more than the actual bitches because I like seeing all the different takes on the same issue.
I am a very positive person, actually a lot of people bitch at me for being that way especially Monday mornings.
Yes, the Tassimo lady is one handsome woman. Good call OC.

“It stands to reason that you will find a lot of negativity here. By very definition that’s what you should find.”
Excellent, Troon. I liked the part, “by very definition.” Very philosophical, but let me expand on your comment.
“Negativity” need not be simply negative. It emerges out of a general philosophical perspective which takes a critical view on various issues. But, and this is the important point, “Tired,” having that “critical persective” is co-extensive with having a mind and having a mind is co-extensive with being human. Put simply, “Tired,” such critique – assuming it has a rational basis in reflection – is what it means to be human. Conversely, there is a vacuous vapidity in those, like yourself, who maintain that such critique is simply “negativity.”
Do you understand that, Tired? Take your time. Reflect on it.
A pleasure as awlays.
Cheerio!
Don’t go, Donkster! Your a valued member of the LTWWB community.
Here here, TJ. Totally agree. I for one, enjoy reading your comments, Donk. They seem to have this quiet wisdom and sensibility about them with something that I can only really accurately describe as a well placed bitch slap, bubbling just below the surface! lol I can’t speak for the others but I like it.
donk knows we love her, who doesn’t love donkeys? http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qXn33iZ2DIg/Tc3k…
…and who doesn’t love crows http://unlikelywords.tumblr.com/post/15729…
Obviously not a Canadian Crow. Where’s his CSA approved safety helmet. >; )
ooh, aren’t you the clever uncle, graci…i found no photos of crows with helmets but ya gotta love the schnauzer http://www.akatombo.com/doghelmets/img/cc1…
Indeed I do >: )
Ro Ro Ro Ro Ro Ro Ro Ro.
there’s so many god damn bitches because this place is a hole and sucks the soul out of all the barely-living morons who feel proud to call it home.
Burn this fucking place to the ground and start over.
How’s that lithium working out for you, there zZz?
You might wanna think about upping the dosage, dude.
