Real simple – If you’re standing in the doorway holding it open, You’re in my fucking way !! while you “pass it along” . Get outa the fucking way . . . if I had a cane, I’d use it on you !! – not Thank you for blocking my life.
You’re like the dumbfucks that stop traffic to let someone out of a driveway . . . makes sense to me – stop 10 cars to let one dumbfuck in ahead, who then drives 20 kph for the next 10 blocks. . . Or stop in the middle of the block to let some pedestrian cross the street, when they could wait till 2-3 cars pass by. No wonder they’re starting to have road rage attacks around here. Maybe they’ll get the guy that waved someone thru an intersection and got me smashed, then took off even though he was the main witness. Too fuckin’ polite !!

You can’t be serious. What are you in such a rush for anyway? To be first in line at Starbucks to get your grande cafe mocha?
Wow, it’s a simple thing humans do called kindness. You should look into that when you get the stick out of your ass.
I don’t understand the door holder bitch, but the OP is exactly correct about idiot drivers who stop to let shortcutters into line or even worse, to let someone into traffic when they are at a Yield sign. Try driving up Barrington at evening rush when you hit the corner of Cornwallis. There is a ramp there for traffic from the Water and Barrington South to enter the roadway, and the regualrs have embraced a triba culture of the dreaded one on one. God help you if you aren’t a regular and don’t know that, because someone on that ramp is going to take out the right side of your vehicle when they assume you are giving them the right of way they are not entitled to have.
when it comes to letting someone at a yield go, I try my hardest to get through but it seems like the people at the yield aren’t taking no for an answer and don’t even slow down…i’m at the point now I don’t even look for someone coming up to a yield sign when I have the right away if they think they can go at the same time as me let them….their insurance can fix my vehicule when they run into me …my point being sometimes the car with the right of way isn’t stopping by choice although it does sound like a different situation at the spot you are talking about
right of way…..i hate when pepole call it a right away …must have been typing faster than i was thinking
Wow…I think this OP is definitely a Bitch, but also a Prick. A growing trend in Hellifax is to be a s rude as possible, while showing absolutely no manners. Not sure what is happening in this city, but it is not good. Get outa the fucking way, can you imagine. Get your face off my fist you might scratch my ring.
It’s called the golden rule, ” do unto others as they would have do unto you “, you might want to look that one up. Holy cow folks, can’t we just get along already.
It’s ridiculous the respect (or lack of) people have here for other human beings. I think everyone has just given up on caring about other peoples’ wellbeing and are only concerned about themselves. Everyone is so worried about the next red light or the extra five minutes they might have to take to get home that they don’t care who they hurt. Not only with driving either, I remember seeing a young guy help a senior lady across a crosswalk at the commons and I was surprised…..shouldn’t it be the other way around? Shouldn’t we be suprised when we don’t see that stuff happening. I just wish we as a people could start having more compassion for the stranger next door or whatever before we all end up old and bitter….the few of us that survive the incessant negativity and disrespect the world is beginning to offer us. I feel terrible that this is the world my son has to grow up in …what’s life going to be like in 20 years?
Rude people have little class, and less intelligence. If someone cannot bear to reciprocate a polite action with a “Thank-you” or a smile and a nod, they have willingly chosen a path of social devolution. Their antipathy towards society reflects their own self-hatred and self-disgust.People retort, “Why should I show any politeness for another when I don’t feel like it?” or, “Others do it to me all the time!” For the the former, this is a lead-in to sociopathy or borderline personality, a person who simply feels nothing for others and can’t empathically respond outside of their own desires. These people are typically dangerous to others and themselves; they need psychological help. And for the latter, its really a childish response to personal fear, anxiety and frustration.I’d bet that the OP has a really rough time of it, every single day. Frustrated and fearful, he/she lashes out at the people around them – his/her attempts at humour and sympathy are forced and contrived, and he/she is constantly tired and dragged out from mimicking true and honest feelings in order to gain power and position with superiors. Deeply lonely, she/he finds no peace and no happiness outside of the misery she/he can cause and inflict upon others; but growing only more resentful, malicious and frustrated as a result while the emotional emptiness and spiritual void deepens, throwing any hurt they cause back into his/her face.Or maybe he/she is just an asshole.
wow….maybe OP should lay off the nose candy…the obnoxious ’80’s died….well back in the ’80’s….what a maroon….asshat
LOL you can’t be serious…someone is bitching b/c someone held the door open for them? My my, I hope I don’t run into you, I’m sure you’d pound my face in for saying thank you. It’s called politeness, may be rare and unusual in today’s society, but some of us still like to abide by the Golden Rule…
