To the 20-something girls outside of Bubbles Mansion on Saturday nights at 4 AM – why the fuck do you retarded idiots have to scream at the top of your lungs outside after the bar closes? Don’t you have cabs to call, inept, horny boyfriends to go home with or corners to pass out in? I know you had a rough night with your of many rounds of tequila and now that you’ve broken your nail/shoe/sanity you feel the need to tell the world about it repeatedly at a glass breaking pitch, but seriously – shut the fuck up before I grab a paintball gun and start picking you all off from my apartment window, ruining your club outfits. Some of us downtown have better things to do than to listen to your fucking drunken screeching… it’s called sleep.

Seriously, you should probably start looking for an apartment in a quieter neighborhood. There will never be silence at 4AM in the downtown area! Halifax is known for it’s late night partying. Maybe you should move to Toronto where all bars close at 2am, or even better some state laws ban liquor sales after 1am. You are in the wrong place….not the “retarded idiots” leaving the bar drunk at 4AM!!!!!!
Umm, Lori, maybe people who live downtown should expect to put up with a higher level of noise than in other neighbourhoods, but that doesnt mean that those who leave the bar at 4am and feel the need to behave like fucking pea-brained morons (not all of us do!) aren’t still annoying as fucking hell. And it’s not as if you actually shut up when you reach a quiet, residential street!
NMH-All drunk people are annoying to sober, tired people….that’s not the point! This guy is considering “picking them off with a paintball gun” because there’s noise at 4AM on a Saturday night….are you kidding me?
Here’s a solution that works for everybody…call the non-emergency police line and tell them there are some drunk people that are begging to spend a night in one of our finely appointed drunk tanks…cops show up and take em away…just make sure to say it sounds like they are fighting…make sure you use “blood-curdling screams” during your call , they get there WAY faster.
oh piss right off. yeah, there’s a lot of annoying little teeny boppers down there, but for christ sakes… this is a university city, like it or not. If you choose to live within ear shot of the downtown bar scene, you don’t get to complain about the drunkards. That’s like moving into crack alley and complaining about all the crackheads.Yeah Chris… let’s call the cops on some people that are acting retarded with a few too many drinks. That’s a much better use of their time. I wouldn’t want them out patrolling the streets for people getting beaten, sexually assaulted, car jacking… your idea is much better. Fuckin twits.
‘call the cops”take a photo and send it into the cops”write down the lisence plate # and report it to the cops”yadda yadda yadda, cops.’Christopher, no offense, but you’re a tad predictable.
Predictable but unfortunately for you…it’s exactly what the city will tell you to do. There is no point in opening your window and arguing and if they stand there of 40 minutes screaming their heads off then you have a right to file noise complaints…there is expected noise levels downtown yes to be sure, but excessive screaming is not part of that.
Hey Christopher…..go have a drink and loosen the fuck up!
I think screaming at 4 am is inappropriate and incredibly rude. I would be pissed off at these drunken bitches too. Of course noise is expected downtown near the clubs but screaming is just fucked
Hey sleepless in halifax, too bad you have to demean others by using the word “retards” as an epithet. Ever heard of Dennis Leary’s song, ” I’m An Asshole” ? I think you are mentioned in it. Mis-using the phrase RETARDED IDIOTS says more about you than the people you complain about.
oh god what a drunken backwards city I live in. Downtown isn’t just for spoiled drunk university brats. Being drunk in public is illegal anyways. There are plenty of quiet people who can drink with out being obnoxious in public but maybe in Halifax its appropriate seeing how drunk our city is.
Have to go with the majority here. Get out of the bar district if you don’t like noise at 4am on a Saturday night.
I totally agree with Zac! He’s right, most of us can hold our liquor and behave in a normal way when leaving a bar! It’s the pissing, vomiting, fighting, yelling, whinging morrons who cant control their alcohol and make obnoxious fools of themselves by behaving like apes after getting drunk that annoy the rest of us!
Dump a bucket of ice cold water on them (if they are below your window, anyway). The last screech out of the girls will be of your doing, but it usualy sends them scurrying for the nearest cab.:D
Great solution Three!!!! Throw things at drunk people? Give it the fuck up already!!!!!! Drunk people act like idiots, if you don’t like it MOVE! FFS!
BTW–Zac & NMH. I’m sure you all hold your liquor in a respectable way….you two have never acted like idiots while drunk, huh? Again…give it the fuck up!!!! Pull your heads out of your asses.
Lori…you seem to take this very personally, were you perhaps one of the drunken idiots out on the street screaming your head off? They (Zac & NMH, I actually aggree with you about the throwing stuff at drunks…not really a prudent idea) are perfectly correct when they said that it was excessive and rude. Sure you get noise downtown, but I am not sorry to say that the by-laws don’t suddenly stop when you get near the downtown core. It is expected that traffic noise and some spill off noise from the bars, but when it becomes excessive, people have a right to be pissed. This city is not just made entirely of bars and loud obnoxious patrons of said bars. There are even families that live downtown, people who work in the mornings and yes even people that have to work on the weekends in the morning! I know, shocking to believe yes? I think it you that should pull your arrogant and obnoxious head out your ass, I don’t think I have seen even ONE positive comment submitted by you in any of the posts I have read. Try and provide some reasoning behind your posts, it’s like debating, you can’t just make a statement and not back it up with facts and reasoning!
I can’t seem to understand why normal, law-abiding citizens who choose to live in the “downtown core” should be the ones who have to move because of drunken idiots who can’t shut the fuck up @ 4am???Doesn’t make any sense to me.Punish the law-breakers, the ones who scream can’t shut up @ 4am when they’re drunk and spill out from the bars, not the law-abiding, rent -paying citizens who just want to do what normal people do @ 4am in the morning – SLEEP!.
Christopher, here’s a fact (even though I’m going to sound like a broken record) DRUNK PEOPLE ACT DUMB!!!! And no I wasn’t one of them and as far as making a positive comment…this forum is called LOVE the way we BITCH!!!! Hello??? When is bitching ever about something positive???? And further more FUCK OFF!!!!
Lori, you seem like an idiot. I’ve been drinking since I was well below the legal age and what this argument seems to be missing is this:Only idiots like you, Lori, drink for the single purpose of getting drunk and acting like an idiot.Most of us who enjoy a tasty alcoholic beverage know that you aren’t supposed to drink for the sake of getting drunk — you drink while you socialize with friends and if you happen to get a buzz on, so be it.What I wanna know is if you scream your head off in the middle of the day, sober and in public? I mean, if it’s cool for drunk and 4am, why not do it all the time?Let Halifax know what kind of a waste product you are.
Erron, you are seriously kidding yourself if you think most people drink without the intention of getting drunk! I’m not sure why you think I’m an idiot? I don’t even go out to the bars downtown Halifax, I’ve just been around long enough to know what to expect down there. I have one question for all of you…would you buy a home nextdoor to an airport and then bitch about all the noise from the jets flying over your head?????
Yup.
It seems that Lori doesnt need a drink to be dumb and obnoxious. ‘Like ummm, HELLO?!?’ What a spaz.
