Apparently I live on an island now where I can only get out of my neighbourhood if deemed worthy by 40/hr glorified sign posts.
Can our city planners not co-ordinate the projects so you don’t have multiple traffic snags in a 5 block circle?
Oh and it’s a fuckin hard hat not a ball cap…try not to wear it like a gantsa yo!

ha ha ha….did one of the guys have his hard hat on backwards??? That’s too funny!!
These guys don’t get paid $40 an hour they’re lucky to get paid 10. Also, I’d like to see any of you sling asphalt all day in 30 degree heat.
Yea…um.. Dr Fever?
Not sure what slingin asphalt has to do with guys flipping stop signs. I know they don’t make $40/hr …it is called exaggerating to make a point.
I did jobs when I worked my way through univ that would make that job and slinging asphalt for that matter look like child’s play. Try unloading a shark boat for 26hrs straight where every now and then a net of 200-500lb frozen sharks come falling back down the hole at you….piss and moan about shovelling in the heat awwwww.
The shot I made was at the city planner and the one tool who decided to wear his hard hat like a punk bitch gansta tilted with his jeans around his thighs…stop being such a sensitive Sally…loosen up the thong a little maybe.
Oh, I’ve been told, haven’t I? Look, I don’t care if you were exaggerating or not, it’s summer, and if you live in the city, your street may close for construction. That’s how it works. They would have notified you well in advance.
truthx2 sounds like he must be the most bad assed mother fucker of all time, juggling sharks for 26 hours straight with no deoderant
I completely accept the fact that they do construction during slow traffic periods…that is fine. Taking one job away from a 5 block area so not to completely screw us when they have two massive projects going already (Fenwick, South Park). Adding Inglis, Barrington and finally Queen made it literally a 45 min drive to get from Brussels to Public Garden in heavy traffic. Not the end of the world no…worth a bitch yes, why argue the city planners have it right because they don’t. They all but admitted they had some planning issues last month when projects got delayed. They are siloed in their planning and thus run into issues.
unrelated to this thread but what the hell since fu.ckthecoast offered nothing but shit.
fu.ckthecoast …read your comments. I would be embarrassed, you need to get out more, spending a tad too much time reading people’s bitches and posting nonsensical replies. I am sure this will get a fiery response thus proving my point. “Many golfers are injured by stray balls hitting them every year, how do you think the golf community would react if they implemented a helmet law for golfing? Anyone that says they’d wear one is full of shit and needs to get a grip on reality.”
Really???Cite how many people are injured in the head by golf balls yearly? Dude if you are going to argue present a case that does not make you sound retarded.
Just one stat – 2002, nearly 288,900 children ages 14 and under were treated in hospital emergency rooms for bicycle-related injuries. Nearly half (47 percent) of children ages 14 and under hospitalized for bicycle-related injuries are diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury. How fucking hard is it to see kids should possibly be mandated to wear helmets…IMO if an adult chooses not to wear one Darwin has a theory for them. I assume you don’t wear one and that is just fine, hope nothing ever happens or if it does you like apple sauce. Cigarette tax dollars can pay for your nurse while she wipes your whining, ungrateful ass.
I agree with the point that it would be nice to have an option to leave the city without hitting construction.
