Where to begin. Halifax, being a small city that is often quite easy going, has been filled with angry people this past week. To the bitchy woman at the parade of lights who got mad when my mother and i sat in front of her – other people exist in the world/I feel sorry for your husband. And today, to the bald man in the fancy car who said “YOU MUST THINK I CAN SLOW DOWN PRETTY FAST!” while I was crossing Oxford street – Why yes, when you are speeding along from a block away, I do think you can stop… that is why there are blinking lights that flash and make noise – so incompetent dick wads like you can stop. No wonder so many people have been getting hit by vehicles recently, there needs to be something more to inform drivers to STOP – i don’t know, maybe we should trade crossing guards for elephants. — smaller than your child/big enough to be seen.

Cunt, you wouldn’t be able to sit had you tried to take a place in front of me ANYWHERE! Arrive on time and get yer arse situated rather than strolling along with your birth momma and cutting to the front.
No need for elephants when your wide load could stop a transport truck without injury to yourself. Damn, blame everyone else ….. sheesh.
If you only knew how many close calls I see daily with cars not yielding to pedestrians even in crosswalks…..it’s frightening.
“Smaller than your child”?
Doubt that very much. People who say things like that are always bigger than they claim to be. I don’t understand that phenomenon. It’s weird.
Agree with most of the rest of it.
Smaller than your child? That makes no sense. A child can be three to three hundred pounds. If you’re that small, why would anyone complain about you sitting in front of them. Reg needs more details.
We have a reputaion here as some of the friendliest people on Earth, but jugding by some of the comments in the paper(all of them) I wonder if we arent an angry type.
I suppose it’s nearly time for the whole god and christianity vs. holiday and PC shit yet again…

Also op it’s christmas and you are surrounded by people who have kids asking for petting zoos filled with unicorns and don’t know how to deliver. You are surrounded by parents who don’t know how they’re going to get their holiday TURKEY, let alone put gifts under that tree. You are surrounded by people who don’t have anybody to care about and will spend the holidays alone. Or people who DO have loved ones who hurt and humiliate them and are expected to show up to dinner anyway. People who have to travel and are afraid of flying. All sorts of things.
And mostly you are surrounded by people who, thanks to the holidays, now have two jobs instead of their regular one. Because, let’s be honest here, christmas is a full time job for at least a month for most people.
This is why the increased stress, if you’re wondering.
OP, you don’t think there’s anything wrong with you just plunking yourself down in someone’s spot the way you did? I say someone’s spot because most of us have been to the parade of lights and know what it’s like. You can’t comfortably sit in front of someone.
Also if they’re sitting, they’re pretty much at the front of the line. Where did you sit?! In their lap?!
Also considering that, I highly doubt your other bitch is accurate. Hence the whole reason why this city is going to hell! People like you OP! 🙂 I can guarantee you’re not from ON either! 🙂 Locally born and raised eh 🙂
If you weren’t encroaching on their space or blocking their view I’m not sure why they would complain which leads me to believe you were. What kind if ADULTS set up camp in front of children to watch a parade? I know people are insane and will attempt to run you over in crosswalks. This is why lights in my favor, marked crosswalk or not I watch approaching drivers and don’t set foot off the curb until they see me and start to apply the brakes. Flashing lights don’t guarantee your safety.
On the crosswalk comments …. People need to realize YOU the pedestrian are suppose to STOP at a crosswalk & check to see that it is safe to cross !
To the short legged ,big assed woman who stepped out into the road & was almost hit by me yesterday , Lady you had one foot in the road & I was through the intersection & coming into the crosswalk IF you had looked you would have seen I was In The Fucking Intersection proceeding on my green & you were going against a red …. Jumping up & down while sticking the finger in the air did make it funny though . So thanx for the laugh after your scary boneheaded attempt to have me kill you with my truck
I would recommend you not waste your money on lottery tickets all the good luck you have is burnt up each time you walk the streets !
