…at the fuckhead in the northbound green van with two ladders on the roof who saw my disabled husband crossing Robie Street with great difficulty and decided to floor it. You not only missed him by inches, you had the fucking gaul to laugh as my guy struggled to keep his balance. I cannot believe how goddamn awful people are towards the disabled. Why the fuck would you even consider doing such a thing?
—Can’t Believe How Fucking Cruel People Can Be To Those With Disabilities

I am hearing impaired and people laugh at me when I ask them to speak up when I cant hear their stupid whispering… people dont talk anymore they just whisper.
I saw an old fellow crossing a street when a green car driven by a woman, who wasn’t looking where she was going at all, turned the corner and nearly plowed into him. He had to jump onto the curb to not get hit. She then stopped the car for a moment, turned to look at him and laughed at him. I was shocked.
carry a good size3d rock opn you,then use it for the next idiot that tries that shit.if cops come,he has a lot of splaing to do do.
sorry,sized rock.
yup, another WINNING Nova Scotian-bred “solution”. What a fuckin’ hole.
Wow, that was useful, kay. Go fuck yourself.
Hey, I didn’t create violence as a coping skill and common response to every little thing.
YOU DID and YOU SUCK.
If I suck you swallow.
but I won’t and that’s why you hate me. Suck it up. I don’t care.
I’d carry a rock for such a use but I’m quite lazy and besides, I have bad aim. I’d have probably hit the old fellow instead of the car.
What I really need is one of those phones with the video camera so I can walk around with it on all the time, recording every tidbit of everything I see so I can post it on Youtube as yet another viral revelation. Perhaps I’ll get on HLN with such a plan.
My Hub-Unit would fall on his poor ol’ sweet butt button if he tried to throw a rock.
Every time TTFN utters the words Hub and Unit, my brain conjures an image of a waddling little R2D2. Too cute!!
I think the vast majority of people around here are courteous and friendly and would find the treatment of this persons husband despicable, but as is the case everywhere, there is always the scum element.
We need a Mr. Hitler to be voted in as Premier and to open a human abbatoir to dispose of the scum, scammers, squeegee vermin, bums, dopers, pedos – oh and on a good day big stroller metro transit welfare ho’s – this new Holiday blend free trade coffee made me say this…..
Was he crossing at the lights, like a proper pedestrian? If so, how could a van whizz by him?
Hate to shatter the image – in Star Wars terms, Hub Unit is a six foot two wookie with a wonky leg. But he does make some cute squeaks and whistles when I tickle him behind the ankles.
I live on robie, all cars heading out and in to town try to hit pedestrians, Agricola, on the other hand, is filled with the most wonderfully patient drivers in the world, it seems to be a known fact in these parts.
