to the anal retentive asshole I met near the rotary: I’m sorry I slightly bumped your car, not even enough to knock over a green bin Thanks for taking my insurance information. There was not one little tiny mark on your damn car. Now your taking it into the shop to see if its been damaged. GET A LIFE! We were at a stop light and I let off the brake because you were moving then you just stopped and I slightly bumped into you. If you actually think that the speed of a ultra slow walk is going to damage your Toyota Matrix you must be insane. I’m sure everyone loved how you blocked up traffic.

FSPAD,I would have done the exact same thing. Your idea of a slight bump may differ from someone elses.You blocked the traffic, not the other person. Had you been paying attention to the driver in front of you instead of looking out your side window, you would have seen the car stop and therefore not bumped into the car.Talk about anal retentive!
What is wrong with people. Since you hit the guy in front of you you are at fault. I’m guessing you wre on a cell phone and not paying attendtion like so many idot drivers on the road. Other than on icy roads, if you are a bad enough driverto hit someone in front of you maybe you shouldn’t be driving. You should be giving yourself a three second gap between cars like the driver handbook states, so you were at least one of the following: Not paying attention, goint to fast, or following too closely. Learn to F_ _ _en drive idot.
If you rear end him, it’s entirely your fault. Why shouldn’t he have his car checked out? Learn to drive, and start saving up some money for those new insurance premiums you’ll be facing.
Consider yourself lucky that you didn’t rear end me, I would have driven ahead 6 feet, put it in reverse and caved the front end of your fucking car in. It’s just sheet metal, and i drive a parking lot warrior. You are 100% wrong, and you know it. Hope insurance rapes you next year, pay attention for christ sake.
If you scratch my rusted beat up 95 civic I’d still make your careless ass pay for the mark or dent to be fixed. Every bit of damage on my care should be caused from my own fucking negligence, not anyone else’s.
Wow whatever I was pissed off when I wrote this- my friends in the hospital and may have to eat out of a tube for the rest of her life due to some asshole putting Windex in her drink. We were on our way to see her at the Dickson – Brad if you did that to my car I’d have you charged for damages and vehicular assault. For your information I drive a old car from the 1980’s with a real bumper that actually works as a proper bumper not one of those stupid plastic covers that scratch or break if you breath on them too hard. I hit him as lightly as you could. Honestly I don’t care because I know the owner and one of the cars bumper clips need to be replaced and he’s not charging my insurance. And no I’m not a hypocrite- my neighbor forgot to put his e-brake on one day on his Subaru and it rolled into the back of my car. Slight scratch on my rear bumper so I just let it go- I don’t get pleasure out of increasing peoples insurance rates over stupid things . And if your cars so shitty it can’t withstand being bumped with all the strength it would take to knock over a empty green bin maybe it shouldn’t be on the road. and no my insurance is not going up because I knew the person. I know I’m in the wrong but oh well. I can’t wait to move out of this backwater. What a lousy place to live. Full of negative selfish people. But I must say I met lots of nice people here as well such as Elbee or Lynn or NWH. I mean we can’t even build a nice tower downtown maybe to make out city look slightly less crappy but nooo lets all complain and growl that we are making our town look like that “Hideous Manhattan” Our City Council is the biggest joke ever- I mean Cat Laws give me a break. People who supported that law must be the boring obsessed with lawns types. I’m sure I’ll have to bail my cat out of “Kitty Jail” The violence in this city is ridiculous. Everyone blames it on the kids but its really the fact the the kids are spoiled rotten by their awful parents. There are people who thinks its appropriate for people to scream at 4 am downtown. No its not and I’m pretty sure its illegal to be drunk in public or at least to cause a public disturbance. How about that lovely little Chebucto road project e.g “I’m Susie Homemaker I drive a big suv and have to get my kids out to my McMansion in the burbs faster. It’s not my fault I need a house with 6 bedrooms even know I only have 2 kids. blah blah blah lets all go have coffee at Starbucks and talk about home renovations” Mean while people on Chebucto are losing their lawns and possibly their homes. Or we have the bicycle obsessed Coyote and his endless rants about bicyclist rights. Or we have the drivers who love to be assholes to the pedestrians and cyclists in the city, as well as other drivers. Or we have the supposed crown jewel of a school call Citadel High- a lifeless boring, cold building with all the quality of a 80’s Hyundai. I mean you know you live in a dull city when the opening of a new school makes the front page of the paper. Personally I wish we had a police force that would focus on getting the violent people and stop bothering the people lighting up joints.and the cigarette haters- Grow the hell up I’m sure you snear at the smokers with their disgusting habit as you go through the drive in to get your second big mac in your suv. Sure smoking in a Bus shelter is not polite and I don’t approve of it either but when people are outside smoking shut the hell up about it. And for the record Trevor technically if your car was in rusty beat up shape the insurance company would likely write it off and you would end up with 1200 dollars, or less and no car.
Dude, if you’re telling the truth, I’m with you here. Call your insurance company and see what their policy is. If there isn’t any obvious damage there’s no reason a claim should be filed. It wouldn’t be the first time some scumbag asshole crammed on his brakes trying to pull an insurance scam. Bumpers are there for a reason, and are DESIGNED to take a 5mph “bump”. Keep an eye on your insurance company, and if the asshole makes a claim, get a second opinion.And to Brad: I don’t understand why you felt the need to mention you drive a parking lot warrior. RAWR LOOK AT ME IM THE BIG SCARY MAN WITH AN SUV AND A SMALL PENIS I MAKE THE LITTLE CARS TREMBLE.Grow the fuck up.
Whoa, can anyone say ADD
You should always take a picture. He might go home and hit it with a hammer.
Hey, Zac, glad you got all that out. Halifax is a shitty place to live – it’s a dirty little backwater full of angry, stupid people who think their shit doesn’t smell. The politicians are dumb as dirt (and they’re still discussed the goddamn cat law) and out for a tax grab at every opportunity. They can deny it all they want but it’s true.I’m also a smoker and I despise how we are demonized. But will they make it illegal? Noooooooo – the government is too fucking greedy – they want the tax revenue. And those smoke Nazis. They’ll suck up 346 18 Wheelers roaring through downtown Halifax and bitch when someone is trying to have a puff (outside a bus shelter I might add – I might be a smoker but I’m not ignorant). We are so fucked as a province, even PEI has cheaper gas than us. We have to pay through the fucking nose for the ‘privilege’ of residing here.Boomer parents have to be the most fucked up parents of all. I have seen so many kids from broken homes who don’t feel comfortable anywhere – selfish, stupid parents who move in boyfriends, girlfriends and sheep – screw what the poor kid thinks. Is it any wonder they act out? Or how about the ones that are given everything and end up feeling entitled to stuff not even their own? My peer group has much to answer for.And to Brad: You must have a very small penis.Anyhow, thanks for calling me ‘nice’ – I’m quite flattered.
Now THAT is a rant. Bravo, and well put.
Thanks, Qwerty – love your moniker.
LB, I love you.
To Elbee, you mother didn’t seem to mind my small penis, fuck you, reading your endless drivel is 2 seconds I’ll never get back. Jim Harvey you’re no better. A parking lot warrior is ANY vehicle considered a beater, moron, read it again. If it was your car that was scratched by some inattentive asshole you’d be losing your fucking mind. People work hard for the things they get, and shouldn’t have to be satisfied by YOUR fucking damage assessment. No mention on maybe coming to an understanding i.e. cash either. To Zac, I don’t give a shit about your fuckin’ sob story, everybody has one, that doesn’t excuse you when it comes to the rules of the road and paying attention. If you’re that broken up, take the fucken bus and save us your whining. If you people don’t like Halifax, MOVE, there are a lot worse spots to live in this country.
Brad please name a city that has stupider laws, more drunks, more assholes. Please enlighten us? I’m glad the bumper on my car is actually functional. Did you even read my comment. Did I not mention the story of my neighbor and his car rolling into the back of me do to e-brake failure. He was looking all over my car for marks and what not and I just let it go. No damage to either car so who cares. I’m not a sadist and wasn’t all that concerned about it really. If someone bumps me accidently and leaves a slight mark I probally wouldn’t care. If they damaged it like actually broke something I wouldn’t worry about it. The guy I hit is a jerk anyways. He was a terrible teacher who use to rip up my art work and he was a total baby. Someone I know had him crying in paint for christ sake. So lesson learned- Never bump your anal retentive ex-teachers vehicle
Hey fucktard Brad, my old lady’s 93 – hope ya have a good ride.
Hey Ellbee one in the pink and a thumb in the stink, then a slap across the back of the head for shitting out an asshole like you.
