Since when does turning on your hazard lights give you the right to park illegally. Do you think a cop won’t give you a ticket because you 4-ways are on. Find a fucking parking spot just like the resty of us have to and stop blocking the alrady too narrow downtown streets.

I am jsut waiting for the time a big rig finally gets fed up and just plows through one of those jackasses that park on Hollis street (left-side) next to HSBC. You know…right under the NO STOPPING sign, fucking asshats.

Thanks for posting that again Christopher with the correction of the spelling of the word jsut/just…I had no fucking idea what you were talking about the first time… Its much clearer now.. Thnaks again and have a super day…
Hehe I’ve had this happen to me. You hit submit, immediately notice a typo, hit your browser’s stop button, thinking you’ve caught it in time because the old page hasn’t disappeared yet, make your correction, and hit submit again. Then find you posted twice. Oops.
Yeah, Jammie if it was you or jsut about anybody else, I would have thought that was the case… But Christopher can be a pedantic twit at times and I thought this must have been an intentional re-post…
Ah, gottcha Floyd. Pedantics are annoying aren’t they?On the other hand I’ve always thought that the use of the word “pedantic” is, in and of itself, pedantic.I kinda dig that sort of self-referentiality.
And of course writing a post about the self-referential pedanticness of the word “pedantic” is the ultimate in pedantic.Or would it be more “meta-pedantic”?Or “post-pedantic”?
Actually, I never heard the word “pedantic” until Christopher called me a pedantic twit in a post a few weeks back… Imagine..!!!Today was my first chance to use the word in context and it needless to say it was very satisfying…I think I’ll go out for a smoke now…
I’m SO excited that I finally realized on which topic I want to write my PhD thesis in Cultural Linguistics.
I think it should be legal for large vehicles to plow through illegally parked cars, especially when said illegal parking makes it impossible for large vehicles to move, thus impeding traffic.A guy can dream, can’t he?
I’ll bet the OP is simply brewing over the .45 seconds that parked vehicle caused him to lose. That said, I agree. The fucking parking patrol hits me at least once a week but at least once a day there’s a car parked under a no parking sign somewhere nearby without a ticket.
Do what I do…snap a picture with your phone/camera and next time a cop pulls you over for something, start showing him/her the pictures and say “So how much ink is in your pen because I want to report some people.” If you claim you have carpal tunnel, the cop has to do the writing. Got me off two parking tickets and a speeding ticket.
How sad you were waiting all this time to throw the same words back to me…how…pedantic of you! I don’t bother people over minute and unimportant details such as spelling, unlike yourselves. Please bother me with real issues and not your pathetic attempts at troll-ery.
Its trollitude,,, not trollery you fucking idiot…
