To you, sitting on the bus, front seat right by the door, talking VERY LOUDLY about how you got robbed AGAIN and they took everything, including your pots and pans, bed, and silverware… seriously? Then yelling at the insurance company, displaying how you were on social assistance and kept on asking when you’ll get a cheque. Air your dirty laundry elsewhere, no one wants to hear that shit!!! —Commuter on the 52

Was this a hardlooking middle aged woman with shoulder length brown hair? and a very determined, aggressive demeanor?. Did she keep hanging up and then start talking again a minute later?
I’m pretty sure there’s nobody on the other end of that phone.
This Fella gets robbed and is a little upset, and YOU are the one bitching? You are the Beech.
I don’t understand these people who talk reallllly loudly on the bus. Like, if I can hear you and we’re not even close, then you need to turn it the fuck down or save the gossip for when you’re not in public. It always seems to be people talkin’ smack about their friends or whatever. I find groups of ladies tend to say “she” a lot …
“She was like this and then I was like oh my god, I can’t believe she said that and then she like left and then we laughed and then she was like texting and she like deleted him off Facebook and she was just so stupid”
PS: Apparently texting someone is too formal now. If you want to have a casual conversation, you have to have it on Facebook chat says some future leader of tomorrow on the 17.
I do give kudos for the welfare person having insurance! ~ I never understood those who have not insured their lives, health, belongings, etc.
But how does someone steal the ENTIRE contents of a dwelling with anybody noticing? ~ Does not have the ring of truth to it.
get a car or shut the fuck up about having to share a bus with other people. I’m so sick and tired of you entitled bus brats who think the #1 is their own personal chariot and they are gracious enough to allow the unwashed masses to travel alongside them.
Why didn’t you get up and move? Put your headphones in? Were you listening to all these details just so you could gossip about the poor unfortunate later on?
Typical public transit user. That bus rider must have been smoking their bus transfers.
I mean… if they were talking about someone’s business maybe I’d agree with you OP, but there are only so many hours in a day. Unfortunately for you she felt it necessary to make that call to her insurance company on the bus.
A lot of people when they have something like that happen to them they tell everybody, even strangers. She probably wanted some sympathy.
You kind of have to talk loud when talking on a cell phone on the bus or the person on the other end can’t hear you over the bus noise. I wait till I get off if I can help it.
Anyways its the bus.. deal.
Ahhh the 52. That’s your problem right there. 😛
that’s what happens when you live in highcrime park. but the same can be said of just about anywhere.cime is rampant in this fucking city, and the cops hands seem to be tied as how to stop it. i think it’s about time, all the citizens banded together, and started to take out these fucking assholes.
so what if a few get holes in them, give the lifers more to fuck where and if they ever get tio see the big jail.but do them good, as a cop once told me, kill the bitch, and that is less paperwork for them and the courts will move faster.
remember, if they are 3 feet inside your property, then their ass is yours, to do with as you want.
and ttfn, when did you want to get that clown movie, or where can it be dropped off. mail me at gary_more@hotmail.com.
Yes, boo hoo to you hoo, OP.
Some poor bugger gets their bed stolen, doesn’t even have a pot to piss in anymore(literally, apparently), and YOU’RE so put upon by their being robbed.
Fuck you for airing your dirty laundry ere!(see how I did that? Lols)
OP, Survivor’s had a rough year ok…
first the water, then the power… now the robbery!
yes, the idiotic douche likes to scream it from every tower but they can’t help it….
the entire world is out to get them.
if you don’t believe it, just ask ’em.
I bet you go to the hospital and complain about all the people with cancer talking about their pain, OP. Do they not know who the fuck you are?
fuck people like this really really piss me off righteously. Like the wrinkled old reptile that told me she “didn’t like my voice” when i was talking on my cell phone one friday afternoon on the #1. And so I said to her “Well i dislike the way your husband keeps staring at my tits.” and then got up and moved.
Childish? Yes. But you entitled fucks and your horror at not being the center of the universe has got to stop. I don’t know who you think you are but here’s a reality check. You’re on a bus because you can’t afford private transportation. That’s who you are. So adopt an attitude befitting your station please.
OMF another one about transit. Get your drivers licence then and you won’t have to listen to other people talking on the bus. If you can’t afford to drive then deal with it rather than bitching. *sigh*. Oh another thing that can help if you haven’t heard of it…headphones and music.
If they’re on welfare, what are they commuting to, I wonder?
I’m with OP. People should be attempting to go somewhere private or at least out of earshot of others for any and all calls. Otherwise, you’re just either utterly pathetic and looking for attention or obliviously rude.
Op, get yourself a better set of buds for the mp3 player that you are obviously used to wearing.
People talk in public. Deal with it.
Who the fuck steals silverware and a bed???? Did they take the magnets off the fridge too? I bet Ivans right, that’s a one sided conversation she’s having with a phone that is likely not even operational.
‘gasmatron beat me to it.
If you choose to take the 52, you gotta deal with the consequences. Consequences such as 50 strollers between 4 welfare baby mamas with 38 different unemployed baby daddies, for example. This is only an example though because the list of fucktard-ery on that route is extensive and would take way too long to write and my GOD I need a nap.
I like to pretend the 52 doesn’t exist. It’s better that way.
I take it from time to time…
nice to go on the last run,
most of the 52 goers have a court imposed curfew so far fewer skeezies.
Early morning isn’t SO bad, either, because it’s mainly people with JOBS.
The welfare mamas and dead beats tend to sleep in.
Tru dat PK. I sometimes take the dreaded 80 to get to work if the 81 is too early and I found it’s not as terrible as it’s made out to be, but if I happen to take it on the way back home in the afternoon…. *shudder* I’d rather just wait longer for the 17 which requires me to walk a couple more blocks but my lunch stays down and I feel there are less germs on me.
How bizarre is this?
My sister, who hasn’t been on a bus since who the heck knows when, starts to tell me a story on Saturday about earlier in the week when she was returning a Uhaul to Darkness and having to get a bus home “and there was this woman on a cell phone” and I finished the story for her and said “and you were on the 52!” Ha ha!
I showed her this bitch and she assures me it was quite a show! And it was meant to be a show. A “look at me” show. A show that no earphones would drown out.
Laugh?!? We laughed!!!
What are the odds?
haha, a reality show on buses. any takers for the wee pom, i’ve been following it on twitter. i’m such a goof, i joined twitter and have yet to post anything
Hey Snoob, was the woman on her way to or coming from Burnside? Because I’m sure it’s the same one I encounter from time to time. Cell phone is a replacement for the ole tinfoil hat.
I had the exact same experience with SOBova a couple of years ago.
She began telling me about how for 20 minutes she had to listen to a very loud African fellow telling his unwitting seatmate how there was no opportunity for a young person here and he was leaving this province as soon as he could…
“…and going out to Fort MACK-murray” . She lol’d when I told her he was a regular at the shoppe. He also goes on about how “Can you believe in this day and age people are not planning for their retirement” and my personal fave “Young people today are doing too much fucking…”
Yes! Little Bear got picked up by his exhausted family early yesterday AM! They’d been out searching all night and the woman’s niece (or some such) in Alberta, who knew he’d gone missing, saw my post on NSLDN’s FB page!
The not so great part is that I had also reported it to HRM Animal Control around 3PM on Sunday, the owner reported him lost around 6PM but they didn’t call me to say they’d heard from the owner until mid morning Monday after he’d already gone home. They seem to have weekend communication issues! Those poor folks out all night!
Ivan – the bus was headed for Halifax from Wright Ave. I think you’re right about nobody at the other end! And, Ivan, I’m pretty sure I know your guy that was heading to Fort MACK-Murray! He was also going to Las Vegas to go to chef school? I reckon we have a lot of the same clientele, buy the sounds of it!
excellent news, we actually found a baby pom wandering around our street. i was wtf is that, it looked like a tiny fox. found the owners within thirty minutes
I can just imagine a baby one! That’s what my husband said when he saw it on the highway! WTF is that! They’re pointy little things under all the floof!
YESSSS! – The Vegas option. He was working as a busboy at a restaurant down by the train station. He also contrived to buy every last copy of “Pay the Rent or Feed the Kids” by Mel Hurtig that we had. He’d come in once a week and ask if we had it and he’d buy it, as if it was for the first time.
Gosh, what a close knit friendly place this is. Well, at least the Pom seems to think so >; )
Yeah – there were several money related books he was obsessed with! Oh my! He’s been coming here since he was a kid. Pretty sad, really.
Do you know the delightful unit that can “smell evil” by any chance?
And the way it works here is, if you speak of them, they appear within an hour or so.
Never encountered the “evil smeller” lol. Once had a guy tell me all about the New World Order. He had actually seen the prototypes for a global currency designed by Alan Greenspan when he was Chairman of the Federal Reserve. He had instructed at The School of the Americas in the 80s. He had seen the detention camps being constructed in Nevada. Did you know the International Space Station can change it’s orbit to hover over any major world population center and monitor ALL communications. That’s why he was living on a 45 foot sailboat in international waters. When he began speaking wistfully of the day when the citizens of Tel Aviv are treated to “Instant Sunrise”, I decided it was time to go tidy up the sci-fi section.
Because that’s the kind of convo that can only go in 1 of 2 directions; 12 foot tall inter-dimensional lizard aliens or the Book of Revelation.
FML.
Crickey! So apparently it’s books that are nut magnets and not me! Back away slowly and don’t make eye contact…
Ivan
I’ve encountered that African fella a few times.. definitely a few cards short of a full deck.
