Blah blah, blah blah, bikes, blah blah blah / Going nowhere / Streets ahead My fellow cyclists

Posted By Team Coast on Fri, Oct 4, 2019 at 9:04 PM

If I am to respect your one-metre distance, then will you please PLEASE respect mine? If there is a line at a light, WAIT. YOUR. TURN. IN. LINE. If you don’t have a full meter to pass on the right, please don’t try to squeeze by. A cyclist hit my side mirror this morning while doing just this. Rules of the road exist to keep ALL of us safe and secure, so stop fucking it up with stupid fucking behaviour PLEASE!!

Games people play / Going nowhere Napoleon vs boxer vs snowball

Posted By Team Coast on Tue, Sep 3, 2019 at 4:22 PM

Once a team of healers needed some bored people to help them have a building and keep the lights on and health care and living wage for trauma-response workers. After the bored listed their volunteer role on their CVs, a bored member said: "Why should we believe those workers? They say their caseload reflects violence in our city? They say they need more than crumbs? They say one in three women? They say #wetoo? They say 200,000+ people need more than a $1 million budget and eight clinical counsellors for accessible trauma care?" Anyways, as a bored person I ask how many believable people live in this city? How much time can I say I volunteered as bored here? I'd better move on to my next austerity governance project. I wish you well workers.

Class Warfare / Going nowhere / Grow up To the drunk panhandler in big-box land

Posted By Team Coast on Fri, Aug 30, 2019 at 12:15 PM

I sure hope the Editor PRINTS this, since you're too stupid to use the internet! You told everyone that you were getting your knee fixed, and you were going to get a job. But you are a liar. You got your knee fixed, and continue to stand out there in front of the stores at the business park, drinking and being nasty to people, begging for money that you don't really need or deserve. You have done nothing but lie to everyone. Why you are allowed to continue to stand there, when most of the employees at all the stores can't stand you because of the way you behave and verbally bash people, is beyond comprehension. Time for you to grow up and go away, you lying drunk!

Getting around / Going nowhere / Streets ahead Tailgaters

Posted By Team Coast on Wed, Aug 14, 2019 at 3:55 PM

Listen up, arsehole on my car's bumper as we drive the Prospect Road: I'm not going any faster and you can't drive over me. You're so fucking stupid, you don't even realize that if you rear-end into my old clunker, you're automatically at fault. So suck on my middle finger, Rushy McRushRush.

Going nowhere / Hate this town / Streets ahead Just drive

Posted By Team Coast on Thu, Aug 1, 2019 at 11:31 AM

Would you misguided potato-brained morons just stop trying to be so fucking “polite” when you drive, keep your right of way and stop, for fuck's sake, almost causing near-accidents!?! Are you doing the rest of us any favours by jamming your goddamn brakes on in the middle of a main traffic lane? Perhaps you’re related to the idiots who hit the brakes before turn signals. Smarten up before you do cause an accident, jackass.

Going nowhere Unfortunate superpower

Posted By Team Coast on Tue, Jan 30, 2018 at 11:23 AM

Turns out I have the superpower of invisibility when trying to cross a certain marked walkway. there is this red triangle with a white triangle inside. does it need a flashing emoticon to get your attention in broad daylight to realize there is a pedestrian crossing? I am in a bit of hurry myself so waiting for 4 or 5 cars not to kill me as I stand in plain sight cuts into my time and puts me in sour mood. –Slow Down…This Is Halifax

Going nowhere Motorcycle mansplainer

Posted By Team Coast on Mon, Aug 28, 2017 at 9:49 AM

I pulled up at the red light turning onto the MacDonald Bridge from Dartmouth to the minivan in front of me just sitting there waiting for the light to turn green. There is no right turn on red, that's true, but only between 6am and 9am and 4pm and 6 pm. It was 9:10 am. So, because we didn't have to just sit there, I honked my horn. The minivan didn't move, either because they didn't know it was after 9 am or because they couldn't see the sign from their position. In any case, I was annoyed enough, but then YOU had to show up and block the other lane. You, Mr. Mid-50s on a motorcycle being all high and mighty, commiserating with minivan and shaking your head at me, tapping on the side of your helmet like I was the one being a dumbass, while I continued to honk and firmly inform you that it was "AFTER 9!" while tapping my watch. OK, so maybe I was being a little aggro, but for fuck's sake, I was RIGHT and you were being a dick. You had a full view of the sign and yet you just assumed that I, a young woman, was the one in the wrong. Fuck you and your minivan friend for wasting two minutes of my time with your bullshit. I'm not vindictive enough to wish you physical harm, but I would find it pretty satisfying if a garbage truck backed over your bike while it was parked outside whatever shitty workplace you were going to. —Cranky Sedan

Going nowhere Just go through

Posted By Team Coast on Mon, Jun 5, 2017 at 9:56 AM

Can you guys who must stop at every junction in the Macdonald Bridge just get over it! You are slowing the traffic sometimes to a halt causing unnecessary delay, increased transportation costs and environmental damage. The bumps on the bridge are no worse than many you will find in highways. You do not have to stop or even slow down. Just go through it at the regular speed. Do it once and you will see that you did not break your neck or your wheels did not fall off. —Driver fed up with wimps

Going nowhere Roberts Street Parking Idiot

Posted on Sun, Oct 12, 2014 at 4:00 AM

For months now you have shown a total lack of common sense parking your "Dumb Car". You consistently block the parking spaces of several people and have created a choke point that places both cyclists and drivers at risk for an accident. Sure there is a curb there that is about 8' long, but really? You are an asshole. —Share Roberts Street
