On Friday January 16th just after 3pm I was STOPPED at the cross walk on Coburg Rd. You and another car stopped suddenly upon seeing me. You stopped your white/ silver van before the cross walk, the other driver, who actually turned out to be somebody I knew, stopped in the middle of the cross walk. AFTER both lines of cars had stopped I crossed the street. The other car in the middle of the cross walk had actually mouthed ‘sorry’ to me, and we actually waved as we recognized each other as old acquaintances. After I had finished crossing the street you had the nerve to roll down your window and say loudly ‘Don’t run out into the middle of a cross walk.’ Firstly, I was stopped you moron get your f***ing eyes checked. Secondly, I wouldn’t run on an icy sidewalk into the middle of a street during near rush hour with a 30 pound back pack. Lastly, as somebody who is mostly a driver in this city let me tell you at that road entitled tools such as yourself shouldn’t be allowed to drive what is basically a seven tonne weapon if you feel so violated by the idea that you have to be prepared you yield right away to a STOPPED pedestrian who is legally crossing the street. —I’m sorry you were suddenly forced to pay a f***ing ttention

Stop smoking crack. Cars cannot speak, let alone mouth words to you. They cannot wave either.
Sounds like a perfectly executed pedestrian crossing. Maybe next time throw your coffee/milkshake/mocha frappa latte with chocolate shavings on top through that driver’s open window.
AMBIGUITY AT THE CROSS WALK
“On Friday January 16 just after 3PM I was STOPPED at the cross walk on Coburg Rd…. After I had finished crossing the street you had the nerve to roll down your window and say loudly, ‘Don’t run into the middle of the cross walk.'” I’m sorry
What we have here is two conflicting accounts of the same incident. We have ambiguity. The poster claims that he was stopped AT the cross walk while the driver said loudly that the poster had run into the MIDDLE of the cross walk. But one cannot be both AT the cross walk and, at the same time, be in the MIDDLE of the cross walk. Who is right? The ambiguity can be resolved only on hearing the testimony of the driver. Will he post his views? Stay tuned.
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
Ughhhh…he should have just run you over. Could have saved me the time of reading this ridiculously stupid, fake bitch.
