Walking through the North Common the other day, on the path toward Tony’s Pizza, the sun was going down (very much in our eyes), I was with a friend, and pushing my bike. Some entitled twat playing baseball grunts at my friend and I to “Get off the field.” Not a “Hey, look out, there’s balls flying and you’re in the vicinity of the game,” just implicitly “You’re interrupting my game for 10 seconds, stupid hippies.”
Firstly, asshole, we were not on the field, we were past the parameter of the diamond, on the walking path, and there was a game on the other side of us too—not much choice in where to go. Second, as my friend pointed out, there is a nice way to say everything and you were a dick. Finally, I wanted to wish that you would get a baseball to the face but I am not a violent person, and I believe that living out the rest of your existence as the idiot you are will be punishment enough. It’s called the “Common” for a reason. Get over yourself. —Commoner

Wait, you were on the pathway? I hope someone takes that bat and rams it up his ass.
Your life must be wonderful if you think this is bitchworthy.
Ummm, which “path” were you on? There are paved walkways within the Common and then there is the often used dirt tract which is not actually a walkway but over the years it has become the defacto route across the north common ….. if there were two games in progress and you walked across this tract then you interrupted the game …… tsk tsk
in their minds o.p., they pay way more taxes, in their minds,only. so that gives them more right to bitch about this, right?
that space is rented by the softball leagues and so when games are in play it’s technically NOT a common, you fuckstick. i play sports on the commons and you have no idea how annoying it is to have people walk through and interrupt your game, not to mention it’s for your own safety since you’re probably walking around with your head up your ass and might not see a ball coming at you at a few km’s an hour. dumb dumb. i hope you get smoked in the fucking face next time you walk through a game. ps. those aren’t paths.
“Your life must be wonderful if you think this is bitchworthy.”
Fuck off. I’m serious. People who make comments like this are idiots.
“Angry? Mad as hell and you can’t take it anymore? Get something off your chest and it could be published online and/or in print. Bitches are anonymous and may be edited for length, grammar, spelling and our lenient standards of propriety.”
No where in there does it say “Only bitches approved by the shit LTWWB community are valid”. Stop acting like you are the authority on what is and isn’t valid. Fuckwit.
Fucking steroid-popping jockstraps. Until Smacking Around Your Pregnant, Commonlaw Wife And Then Going To Ralph’s With The Guys becomes an accredited Olympic event you can fucking well share the Commons with the hippies, the junkies, the squeegie kids, the drum circlejerkers,the cyclists and the swarmers.
…and don’t forget the people who sleep under the bushes…stop scaring me
…and the Segway-ers. Mustn’t forget them.
really? haven’t seen those, this looks like fun http://media.techeblog.com/images/segway-j…
I used to cut through the Commons often when I lived nearby and I never encountered any rude players like that, thankfully. I would never walk through the game but you must understand that your baseball game is not the only thing walkers must dodge in the commons. People play soccer, frisbee, volleyball, bike, etc, so we have to stay out of their way too. If this dirt path is causing so much trouble, why don’t you complain and get it filled in? Are you guys the path authority? These “unwritten rule” elitists can fuck right off. A path is a path, dirt or concrete. Do something about it if you’re so concerned.
Jesus Christ zilla, they didn’t say “get off the field before I punch you in the face you fucking brain dead assholes” so I don’t see the point in the OB feeling so hard done by, or the point in your anger at my comment. I didn’t even say it didn’t belong here all I said was “your (OB) life must be wonderful if you (OB) think this is bitchworthy”. I’m simply stating my opinion and it was out of amusement at what some find offensive it wasn’t meant to BE offensive. Chill the fuck out!
Are YOU the authority on what comments are valid or are you just an angry asshole with too much free time and not enough meaning in your life?
” I’m simply stating my opinion and it was out of amusement at what some find offensive it wasn’t meant to BE offensive. Chill the fuck out!”
hurr durr I like the less intelligent members of the community. It’s easy to argue with them as they just sit there and contradict themselves without you having to say anything.

A little of column A, a little of column B
Congratulations! You have been trolled by hfx_godzilla. Your humorous reaction and tears of rage have provided me with a few minutes of comedy for which I openly mocked you and your lack of intelligence. Don’t feel too bad though, I am the second best troll on this website.

Excellent, Zilla, excellent. It’s always so refreshing to find someone on this site who readily acknowledges their place in the trolling hierarchy. Zilla, I’m giving you a “like.”

And another for you Wheelie. An excellent comment.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Clean cut?
“Mattingly! Shave those sideburns!”
If at first you don’t succeed, try right field.
Seriously though, I play on open fields out here too and it sucks when someone cuts through. It must be horrible on the Common which is such a shortcut to everywhere. Then again, the hippie comment was kinda out of line.
Get over yourself, OB. If you were looking for justification of your dumbassery, you came to the wrong place. Those are rented spaces and you don’t have the right to walk across the field, and if it’s possible for you to get hit with a ball, then you’re in the damn field. You can’t go skating across the blue line at a community rink if there’s a hockey game in progress.
What’s with the spaceship PG? Between the moon and earth.
Not a whole lot of info to base any judgment on but if OP was close enough to hear the ballplayer complain, he must have transgressed the boundaries of the game.
i don’t know critter guy, the boy sent us his old computer and it was one of his pictures
Tears of rage? I just think it’s a silly waste of anger and rage to rant on a comment that’s not outrageous or offensive (to someone like myself with a fulfilling life in the real world) I also think you’re a looooooooser. That’s right, neener neener neener whatcha gonna do about it? I’ll tell you: nothing! Wheeeeeee. Hm I see why you like the Internet, you can be an anonomyous diuchebag sucking fuckwit and nobody can do anything about it. Carry on! Enjoy!
