Loser Games
What kind of loser city has an Olympics “Anniversary?” It’s over, shut up about it already. If I hear one more person say that the Vancouver Olympics was “the best thing that ever happened in our city”, or that it “changed the country forever” (how?), I’m going to throw up. What kind of country do we live in where people think that winning a hockey game is the most significant historical event to ever take place, or that walking around downtown, half drunk waving a flag and yelling “Wooooooooooooooooooo” for two weeks is the memory of a lifetime. You’re all a bunch of mindless buffoons, get a life.

Thanks for the hearing damage, airhorn girl
I’m still pretty pissed at the girl who was celebrating with an airhorn late on Saturday night during the Olympic anniversary events. I was standing on the sidewalk with my friend as we stopped to watch the ‘dancers’ in front of the DJs go crazy over “Beat It.” We were having a good time and laughing when that airhorn cut in and blared into my left ear. With such a thick crowd of people going by behind us I had no idea who was responsible until I saw you, a long- haired girl wearing a Canadian flag for a cape, blasting that horn again while heading down to the ice rink. I’ve nothing against having fun but it shouldn’t be from the pain of others. You ought to know how your selfish, irresponsible behavior may have caused someone permanent damage. My hearing is still messed up. I hope Karma hits you.

Pick up after your dogs, assholes
I own two large dogs and I live in the West End. And I am absolutely disgusted by all you lazy, ignorant dog owners that don’t pick up after your dogs in this neighborhood. You assholes are the reason dog owners have a bad name and you just ruin it for the responsible ones. Every fucking day I am forced to look at disgusting piles of dog shit everywhere which makes me so grossed out that I want to puke.  What a bunch of ignorant fucking pigs you all are and based on all the dog shit I am forced to see — there are a lot of you. Pick up after your dogs, assholes, no one wants to live in a community covered in dog shit.

Drunken idiots
We made the mistake of walking the few blocks to our hotel at 3am after a Saturday night out in downtown Vancouver. A fist fight breaking out at one corner, a guy beating on a car window the next, a few guys chasing down one guy on another block and guys randomly screaming at strangers to scare them for fun or to start something. You guys are insane and an embarrassment to all Vancouverites and Canadians and we sure hope you soon end up locked away where you belong, not enjoying freedom like the majority of the friendly Vancouverites and Canadians we met. It’s sad a few idiot drunk young males can ruin a city’s and country’s reputation as a fun safe place to visit.

Don’t take any BS from bullies
I disagree with the rude response of the joker who wrote in last time berating the victim of BS from his neighbor. The original writer  clearly stated he was just doing normal living noise, and the bozo neighbor below kept messing with him. As long as you are being considerate to others you are allowed to make normal living sounds. My friend had a neighbor who was just an unhappy coward who got his kicks out of bullying innocent people. The bully claimed to be hard of hearing yet could hear my friend take a shower, flush the toilet, and put her bathroom fan on. The idiot manager told my friend to appease the bully by not being allowed to use the bathroom after midnight, and my friend would rush home to take a shower before midnight for half a year until she learned she was allowed to use her bathroom 24/7! Don’t fall victim to these bullies.  Bullies don’t exist just in schools, they continue to be bullies in our real world.  Stand up to them.
