So here we go again another renovation. 39 million dollars to "save" and "renovate" the forum. Does anyone actually think that this is going to stay on budget and the money won't be blown? This is the Bluenose all over again. We need to really sit down have a rational talk about what is economically best for this city and province, and go that route. Stop letting emotions get in the way of what is the right decision. I'm all for saving and renovating old buildings if it makes sense, but this does not. —More money down the drain

I took two reels of film into that place where they transfer movies and such and not only did the owner jack my price up (at pickup time) by HUNDREDS of dollars but he refused to give me my precious family films back until I paid. This is piracy and sleazery in action. Totally disgusted and will never do business at this shop again. Rip off artist !!! —No deal at all

We are now under 500 $ because not only you broke the window, but you threw that rock so hard that it also broke the inside panel of the passenger door. You may have noticed that the car is an honda fit with a baby car sit in the back, common car around. Why? Because it is affordable so people who own a car like that are likely to be on a budget...

Way to go! you are so strong and neandertal like..and I m sure everyone is very proud of you.

But here is the thing. We could really have used that money elsewhere needed. Your random act to show everyone how cool you were made some drastic impact on us. But Karma is a bitch and she'll get you good when you least expecf it.

If you were drunk after spending half a paycheck in the bars and want to make it right by us. Do us all a favor and think twice next time or come back where you did your damage and leave what is needed for your mess to get fixed. Otherwise rot in hell. —M. Trying hard to keep faith in Humanity!

To the middle aged man behind the deli counter in a certain grocery store who referred to me as "his little honey." I am nobody's honey, least of all YOURS, and if I wanted my food with a side of sexist, patronizing drivel, I'd ask. —Busy brainstorming snarky replies for next time

OK - this morning on Robie Street down by the IWK, a man, his two kids and an older gentleman decided to cross the road but not at a cross walk. He had the two kids - around 3-4 years of age in front and had them point and walk - out in front of me and cars were coming up the other lane. I was so upset that this man would put these kids in danger and to teach them it is ok to cross the road if you point and walk out in front of cars. I am still shaking at the lack of common sense this man had. Your kids are so special so why put them in jeopardy. Why would you make them point and walk and have you behind them. And, then, you waved, as if it was my idea to stop - it was not. Kids walked out in front of me - I had to stop. Why would you take the chance? Be careful. —Driver with eyes in back of head, side and everywhere

My friend works in an office on Hollis Street and she was telling me her coworker parks in a handicapped parking spot on Sackville Street using her husband's temporary handicap parking pass! The lady even told my friend that she is doing this so she doesn't have to pay for parking or take the bus and walk to the office from Scotia Square!! The sad part about this all is that it has been going on for 3 years!!! Not only that but I guess this woman parks in a 3 hour parking spot for 8 hours and never gets a ticket or even her tires chalked. My friend said that her and another coworker have complained to the parking ticket people on multiple occasions that this car is parked all day in a 3 hour spot and nothing is done. They have called 311 and they can't do anything either. What the hell??? How do people get away with this??? Who has a temporary handicap parking pass for three years???!! The pass goes with the person, not the vehicle!! —douchebagsayswhat?

I slipped and fell down on my hand, spraining my wrist and breaking my pinky finger. This happened on my vacation as well, so aren't I lucky, got to spend my vacation injured. While my wrist and finger were healing, my parents offered to let me stay with them for two weeks. This injury was getting the best of me as my left hand was out of commission, so I took them up on the offer to help me out.

I met this great woman and started dating her. She was put off when she found out I was staying home with the folks, which was understandable, why would a 33-year-old man be living with his parents. I explained to her that I was just temporarily staying with them so they could take care of me until my injury healed. She stops seeing me, telling me it was just a broken finger and that she didn't date "Mama's boys". And she still wouldn't have anything to do with me when I told her it was THEIR idea! Come on?! Stop seeing me because of this? I'm left-handed! My wrist was sprained badly and I needed to take strong pain meds to ease the pain! I get a bit zonked out after taking these, so maybe it wasn't the best idea to be left alone? Hence, my parents are with me to keep an eye on me!! But no, I guess I'm just a pussy Mama's Boy. Give me a break! Bitch. —NON-pussy

I gotta put this out there, because it really is ridiculous. Please, Nova Scotian drivers, give back your drivers licenses. Cyclists...hang up your bikes. Pedestrians....give up your walking shoes. Why do I suggest this. I have deduced it down to complete sense of "i can do whatever the fuck i want and fuck everyone else" shown by the avg person. Drivers who cannot, or WILL not abide by the laws and as an aside, rules of the road. Disregard shown daily for signage, lane markers, painted road lines etc. drivers disregard for pedestrians, on and on. Cyclists who also refuse to abide by the laws and rules designed to keep them safe. oh you are gonna just do whatever the fuck you want anyway....good for you. Pedestrians. You DO have the right of way. but you ALSO have the responsibility to ensure your safety AND observe the laws as well. the only reason you HAVE the right of way, is to legally cover you in the event of an injury and the need for compensation based on them. SMARTEN up people..PLEASE. Work together. and if you just CANNOT be bothered to practice safe driving/cycling/walking practices....dont drive/cycle/walk anymore. —Icky12

Alright so I'm visiting Quebec and I get sick. I go to the hospital and fear the worst which is of course the waiting time to see a doctor. After getting registered in their system, I am told it will be a little while. I think to myself, lovely, how long is this going to take...Literally five minutes later I'm in a bed, and within six hours, during which I receive blood tests and an ultrasound, I am out the doors and good to go.

Home in NS, people wait six hours just in the waiting room... If ones going to a local hospital and not the 24 hr emerg! you could be there all day... While Quebec could learn a bit from us, we can definitely learn from them in the health care department. I'm telling ya. They know how to deal with sick people here. —ItsNikkiGuys

Why is it that every time I go to Access Nova Scotia, the company I am with upon arriving looks like a bunch of unemployed, lazy, dirty trash? Without fail, every time I go to renew my license or get my permit renewed, there is gaggles of decrepit truck driving, pimped out civic riding imbred-looking individuals who:

1. Have no idea how the system works, after, presumably, having been there multiple times before. Showing up without the proper documentation, insurance etc. then proceeding to argue with the "I couldn't give a flying fuck" service person who is gonna take home the same 37,000 a year plus benefits whether or not you get your car plate without an inspection sticker.

2. Have NO CLUE how the computerized cue system works. Every single time, without fail, there is someone behind me or in front of me who doesn't know how the little "select your transaction and we will give you a number" thing works. There is 5 frigging buttons. If you can't read, don't know what you're there for, then maybe you need to re-evaluate your priorities and learn some basic literacy skills before renewing that drivers license on your 1992 Tempo/Topaz. I have noticed now that they actually have someone stand next to the machine that spits out your number and even selects the button for you - kind of defeats the purpose I think.

3. Argue about and comment to anyone who is in earshot, about the cost of various services. Yes, I resent the cost of renewing a license plate at twice the expense of most other provinces. Yes, I resent having to pay hundreds of dollars to drive my car, but you know what? It isn't a surprise to me. I know what to expect before I go in so that I have my money ready and my documents and forms in order to ensure as painless an experience for me and everyone else there.

I dread the thought at having to go back in two years. Next time I'm going online. —GodGet it Together
