If you live in my building, I’m betting you don’t need to go to the foodbank for food – seriously there are much cheaper places to live. So why did you steal the food that was left in the lobby for collection by the foodbank? Because you’re a low-life, that’s why. And I hate you.

  2. So, you hate someone you don’t know, who may or may not have needed the food? I’m not sure you had any faith to begin with.

  3. This is a despicable behaviour. But people will do what’s necessary to survive, and that seems like this is the case.

  4. Let’s steal from Big Brothers & Sisters bins too … we may or may not need what’s in there … but if we do … it’s because it’s necessary to survive.

  5. Its almost as bad as the people who have enough money to party, drink, go to bars, pay for drugs – but never have grocery money. And there’s a LOT of those assholes in HRM.

  6. How do you know that he person who took the food isn’t a regular food bank user…who just jumped ahead a bit & took food from the bin, instead of from the food bank ?
    I’m not a food bank user, but this short cut may have simply been as I explained …or it might be a well off individual who doesn’t give a flying F^(# & was just being an ass.
