Not once, not twice, but THREE times now I have been driving and almost HIT BY A PEDESTRIAN. I understand that walking around Halifax with drivers who would rather bruise themselves from slamming on the breaks than not give you the right of way has made you complacent to the fact that cars are very heavy, don’t stop instantaneously, and can and will kill you if you walk out in front of them… But seriously people. They WILL harm you if you absentmindedly walk out into oncoming traffic. I am 6 months pregnant. PLEASE STOP STRESSING ME OUT EVERY TIME I NEED TO BUY GROCERIES. Thank you. —These Aren’t Just the Hormones Talking

Meh. I was with you for most of that, because I’ve had to grab my stunned ass co-worker back out of traffic on multiple occasions. Then you played the pregnant and CAPS LOCK cards.
Now I just don’t fucking care.
um, you wouldn’t have been hit BY a pedestrian…
you would have HIT a pedestrian.
My hand isn’t hit BY your face when I ask for a sandwich…
I HIT your face when asking for a sandwich….
still, if it’s not in a crosswalk (marked OR unmarked)… they would have been at fault.
If they were…. quit your hormonal bitchin and make me a…..
wait for it….
When I’m out jaywalking I usually cut it pretty close to the cars passing me. Sometimes I could reach out and touch the fender of the car I’m crossing behind.
It saves time and keeps me on my toes.
yeah o.p., there must be a huge fucking sale on for invisible force fields. either that, or they got a suicide pact on.
Yeah, you gotta watch out for those pesky pedestrians body slamming cars as they go by.
Get used to driving at 5km/hour. Apparently that’s what city council has on their table. (Sarcasm to an extent).
So what if you’re pregnant? Crosswalks, marked or implied, mean you yield BY DEFAULT even if you don’t see anyone, I don’t give a shit how fat you are.
The fact that she’s pregnant makes the bitch more credible and her a more valuable member of society.
