I was walking with my mom BEHIND the SS & CT parking lot today around the Killam properties ( by Quinpool), right before you hit the corner to get to the store.. there were 2 girls walking with smooties, pop or something, there’s no cross walk but there is a speed bump.. the girls begin to cross, no cars coming.. or not close enough to hit them. when they were about half way across..
this bitch in a gold-ish colored car sped up and then honked because they were ‘in the way’ i guess you could call it that. usually people slow down for speed bumps!! jeez. so if that bitch of a driver was paying attention she should have saw them long before she got that close to them. listen lady.. you’re in a fucking parking lot, in a rush? why.. dunno? but if you have enough time to pull into the parking lot & go into the store you should have enough time to let those poor girls you were giving crazy eyes to, cross over to the sidewalk. i cannot stand it when drivers think they can do what they want cause their in a car that is bigger than everyone walking. you’re fucking rude and i wish someone would do that to you so you can see how it feels to be put second, probably never will because you’re lazy ass is driving and on your way to obesity.
if you cannot drive properly, you should be ordered to walk like the rest of us students who don’t have parents paying for our vehicles
p.s. short brown haired bitch with over sized aviators, just because those girls didn’t have the nicest clothes ( which they weren’t all that bad ) or a car to drive, doesn’t mean they are less of a human and as far as I am concerned they are 10 times more beautiful ladies than you are or ever will be.
Glad you 2 girls still smiled after that,I would have been pissed!

probly the same bitch who almost ran me over yesterday, she really did have short brown hair and big sunglasses. maybe the sunglasses impaired her vision.. thats no excuse though
The Driver must have been from Toronto. I have noticed the response there to potential collisions is to accelerate and lay on the horn.
If the pedestrians weren’t at an intersection or crosswalk, they deserve what they get. Sorry but people who think they can cross the damn road anytime and anyplace they want are stupid morons on the organ donor list.
Bro Tim, your reading comprehension skills are truly magnificent. The OP stated this happened in a PARKING LOT, not in a roadway. Take your road rage down a notch, dude.
Man, just got a car, haven’t been driving on the roads in awhile, but man, I don’t remember there every being this many idiots. I remember merging onto the mackay today, and I slowed right down and backed right the fuck off all the cars (left, middle and right lane) cars were beeping at each other at the same time from either side, people yelling..it was a mess, thought for sure there was going to be a pile up of idiots blocking the entire entrance to the mackay bridge from the halifax side. Bet they would have gotten to there location nice and quick if that was the case. Either way, when some jackass almost hits me while trying to cut me off or all the various other ways people are idiots, I am going to take a deep breath and smile. I really don’t want to turn into an angry bafoon like a lot of these drivers.
What are smooties and where can I get them?
I get more nervous walking in grocery store parking lots than crossing a busy street, no question. Especially that Quinpool one.
1fallingangels1, where were you merging from? If it was from the windsor street exchange, there’s no need to merge if you are in the correct lane, and if you were coming from Barrington St, then you need to speed up to the speed limit in order to merge properly. I agree that drivers can be idiots, however, some people need to learn how to drive properly in this city.
maybe Bro Tim was the one with the short hair and big glasses?
“Read the article? I’m too busy blaming the OP!”

Parking lots have crosswalks too. I hate it when people ignore them and cross as they please expecting all the cars to stop for them. Driver overreated in this situation, but she may have had a valid point.
good thing you didn’t have a bike under your ass while crossing the road… this bitch would be all together different
Bro Tim: meOw is right. You need to improve your reading comprehension skills. There’s a reason it’s called a PARKING lot and not a DRIVING lot. Pedestrians have the right of way in any parking lot, anywhere.
NM: the “crosswalks” in parking lots are generally only across the section directly in front of the store. Regardless, as I stated above, pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way in a parking lot. This doesn’t excuse people from their responsibility to use discretionary caution, but they do have the right of way.
Piss off people saying “oooh they got wahtthey deserved crossing wherever they felt like it!!”
Yeh, sure, you all walk to the corner, wait for the light, cross like good little boys&girls. Oh, look it’s a flashing hand, I should wait for the next light!! puhlease…..money says half you are hypocrites.
Nothing wrong with crossing wherever you please if there is no traffic bearing down on you. I don’t just jump out in the street without thinking. If there are cars coming wait till they pass. I don’t want to get hit and I don’t want to be inconsiderate to them either.
Sorry folks walking out into traffic between parked cars, not lookiing, is soooo much better.
Where does it say anyone did that?
