I have no opinion on who’s right about the bus strike, I just know it’s really hard on lots of people. So, I’ve got a car, I’ve got some time, and I thought I’d try to help out, for free, some people who are really in a jam. I answered an ad for someone who said her husband was having an operation and she wanted to visit him. It turned out she gave me a fake phone number. When she called back, she said she got a lift from someone else. Then I remembered another bitch where someone had gone to give someone a ride and they never showed up.
Here’s what I think is happening: Someone related to a bus driver is posting fake requests for help to demoralize anyone who either wants to help out or she feels is scabbing by offering a ride for a fee.

wow. Maybe it’s because the impact isn’t what they thought it would be? I just drove over to Halifax right before noon, traffic wsan’t bad at all, and! I got a parking spot, right on Barrington! I did see a couple people illegally parled with their 4 ways on, but I was expecting an aparkalypse < -- see what I did there? Yeah if you’re right OB, which I kinda hope you’re not, that is pretty low.
Welcome back, Young Thomas. How goes it?
Hmmm, maybe the moral of the story is…
and I’m pretty sure your mommy has been reiterating this for years…
“Don’t offer to go with strangers.”
It’s an aparkalypse around Da.l I tell ya. My spot that I park in day in day out (before the strike) was mysteriously taken all this week … must wake earlier for I will not allow bitches to roll all up on my territory. I had half the mind to key their cars … that would be SET-ish of me wouldn’t it …
*le sigh, le shrug* you can’t win …
Not bad Ivan, how about you?
Fuck it Donk, everyone has an SET-day once in a while, why can’t today be your day?
Not bad. I tend to go a little rangy in February. If ever a month deserved to be nuked, it’s this one. No Offence intended to all my Black Soul Brothers out there. When I become benevolent dictator, you’re getting a real month – one with 31 days, gotdangit! But, February – it’s history.
can one of the new days be a fucking holiday, please?
I hate this stretch of the year.
I still work em but it IS nice to have a couple banked for when they’re needed.
2 Stat Holidays between New Years & Easter. Sean Bean Day and Kate Winsleturnalia.
What about Steak & a Blowjob Day?
3 stat holidays, then. >: )
i know a bunch of drivers and they all agree that the strike is a bitch. but a nessesary evil, that we have to have.
Tomorrow TJ tomorrow … knowing me though any kind of confrontation would probably begin and end with me leaving at most a strongly worded (pink) sticky note on their car window expressing my anger at their automobile placement.
I will try accept my SET-ish feelings and project love their way … ohm … Lulz.
I’m not responding to any more bus bitches. Well, after this one then.
