    I'll butt in front of anyone that leaves 2 feet of space between them and the person in front of them, those people need to learn to pay attention. And they're probably not thrilled about having to go back to Sackville - it's the only place I've ever been threatened or had cr*p thrown at me, a lot of the people are incredibly narrow-minded and self-righteous jerks, and we don't even have a freakin' bookstore or music store (unless you count Walmart, the pawn shop or library). The only good thing about the place is you can walk on the road all you want after 10pm because there's nothing open and pretty much nobody on the road.

    "Pedestrians have the right away but only at an intersection if there aren't any cars moving through it when you get there." And I can't tell you how many times I've almost been run over by some idiot driver not paying attention enough to slow down when they get to the crosswalk and see someone there! It's like someone using a crosswalk when a driver's trying to get somewhere is utterly rude and out of place in the world.
    I've seen an old lady almost get hit at the Spring Garden intersection by Victoria Park because they couldn't cross in the few seconds the walk light was on and because some self-absorbed driver didn't take the time to look before speeding off to some incredibly important destination. It's pathetic, and arrogant.
