Giving thanks / Good neighbours / Nice to be nice Kind gesture on a bad day
Posted By Team Coast on Fri, Sep 6, 2019 at 8:51 AM
Today I was let go from a terrible job, however I was still an emotional mess. My Macpass fell from my windshield due to the heat and I couldn't find it fast enough. The toll employee was not the most understanding person. But then YOU offered to pay for my toll. Thank you for showing me such kindness on a day when I needed it the most!

<3 / Kind words / Nice to be nice Locked away my stress!

Thank you, kind stranger, for picking up my wayward house key and tying it to a light post on Windsor Street the other day! There were only a couple of places it could have been dropped, so I was worried someone had kept it for evil. Thank you <3

Customer service / Nice to be nice / Self-care To the little gym that could (and the girls who work there)

What a relief when you came back, after two long weeks. You've created a safe space for myself and so many others, and I want you to know: I see you. I see the love that you all foster here, and am so grateful that I get to be apart of it. Being in a public space and feeling completely at ease wasn't apart of my normal before I came here. Can't wait to see you tomorrow.

<3 <3 <3 / Nice to be nice Around the sun
Posted By Team Coast on Wed, Jul 31, 2019 at 2:18 PM
Today, a three-year-old showed me the Spiders! exhibit at the museum. This evening, I showed him how to make rainbows with a garden hose. Yesterday, we shared pie at the backyard picnic table and invited every neighbour passing by to join us. Tomorrow, I will continue to love and to be loved. I have found family all around me. So I will wear gifted pink earrings, eat ginger-lemon ice cream and pet all the local cats, and I recommend that anyone feeling a little lost and a lot little do the same.

Etiquette, please / Giving thanks / Nice to be nice / Reflection / Seeking forgiveness / Too late now to say sorry? Apologies for the sad tip
Posted By Team Coast on Tue, Jul 16, 2019 at 7:38 AM
I've always tipped well for every service in Halifax because I know what it's like out here in the hospitality industry—but my hanger got the best of me at a certain pizza place on Saturday, where I angrily put in a $0 tip because my pickup order had been delayed for an hour due to a glitch in the online order. You didn't deserve that. I'll return for more 'za soon and, this time, leave and doubly good tip. —Hangry, now regretful, gal

I'd like to give a shout out to everyone working this past week in customer service and food service who rocked their jobs in this sweltering weather! I see you! You're all working so hard and still manage to be so pleasant, air conditioner or not, and I appreciate that.
PS: Don't forget to tip minimum-wage earners!

Thank you, "Susan in Halifax," for finding and reporting my credit card lost! You saved me from quite the hassle! I hope some good karma comes your way! —WK

Nice to be nice Thank you for being a considerate toddler owner
Posted By Team Coast on Thu, May 2, 2019 at 12:20 PM
I was in the movie theatre with you the other day, me and about a hundred other people all excited to see how the Avengers ended (no spoilers). Your kid was making a lot of noise during one of Iron Man's most important post-fight scenes in the movie, but after about a minute of not being able to quiet your little one, you removed him/her from the theatre. The whole theatre heard the wee human's 'Mama no!' in protest of being evicted. I'm sorry you probably missed part if not all of the end, but thank you for being considerate of everybody else, and I hope you get an opportunity to catch up on the movie.

Nice to be nice Random acts of kindness

Shout out to the woman who paid for the groceries of the man in line behind her without telling him. He was in disbelief when I told him and it made both our days. Warms my heart to see there are people doing things like this!

Nice to be nice I forgive you, ketchup pack thrower
Posted By Team Coast on Tue, Oct 9, 2018 at 2:56 PM
Little did you and your friend in the black utility sport vehicle know that after you threw a ketchup pack at me, there was a red light awaiting you 200m away. Thanks for agreeing to roll down your window so I could ask you calmly, "Why did you throw it? Did I do something wrong?". The light turned green before I could say "I forgive you for not being able to admit to my face you threw it and I forgive you for throwing it in the first place."

Nice to be nice Nice drivers
Posted By Team Coast on Tue, Mar 27, 2018 at 12:00 PM
As a bike rider I could fill a year's worth of issues of The Coast with Bitches about car drivers in Halifax. Instead I will submit a love to the very nice drivers this morning at Almon and Isleville who both stopped to let me cross Almon on my bike, even though I was fully stopped as per the stop sign, and allowing them the right of way they had. Thanks drivers, that was a nice thing to do. —Bike Commuter

Nice to be nice Paying it forward
Posted By Team Coast on Tue, Mar 13, 2018 at 12:00 PM
Great story...I had a customer purchase a gift card the other day. She immediately gave it back to me and said, "Put that towards the next persons bill." You, my dear have restored my faith in humanity. The older lady who was next in line will never forget your kindness, I promise. I told her there were still good people in this world and she agreed. —My Faith In Humanity

Nice to be nice Silver or lead or love for humanity
Posted By Team Coast on Fri, Oct 13, 2017 at 12:00 PM
To the guy who looked like he could rip my head off, yet was kind, and serving food at a homeless shelter. Your voice like Hal from Space Odyssey also amused me. You could totally also be in a Tim Burton movie. — #Propsallaround

Nice to be nice Listening UP
Posted By Team Coast on Tue, Jun 20, 2017 at 12:12 PM
Big UP to all y'all who have the patience, kindness and wisdom to let another finish their thought before assuming, judging and interrupting…You rock more than you may know and you make our human world a better place. —Your fellow citizen

Nice to be nice Nova Scotia Harmony
Posted By Team Coast on Thu, May 11, 2017 at 12:16 PM
Let’s hear it for politicians who try to create harmony rather than discord and who believe in trying to build a better Nova Scotia by bringing people together and treating them in a polite and respectful way. —I believe in harmony
