Halifax, you suck to be pregnant in. Honestly you are one classless sad-sack. And NOWHERE is worse than the damn bus. Halifax Transit is the shits, but the riders make it shittier ten-fold. Fat middle-aged jerks sit in the accessible section of the busses and never yield for the elderly or pregnant. You (in your nursing scrubs!!) sit down beside the pregnant at the Mumford Terminal and light up cigarettes to blow in our face. You think because you’re carrying a flat of crummy bro-beer you get two whole seats to yourself? YOU SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES. —b h-f

AT THE MUMFORD TERMINAL
“You (in nursing scrubs!!) sit down beside the pregnant at the Mumford Terminal and light up a cigarette to blow in our face.” b-h-f
How many of “the pregnant” were you? Shouldn’t that then be “faces” instead of “face”? In any case, in view of the fact that it was at the Mumford Terminal and, no doubt, early in the morning, you’re lucky it was just cigarette smoke that was blown in your face.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
**waiting for bitch about the entitled pregnant crazy lady on the bus yesterday
You get reserved parking at Walmart so I’d say that’s pretty good.
“Excuse me… do you mind if I sit? I’m pregnant.”
Hey man – some of the fat people are trying to ride bikes but people keep looking at them funny. Things are rough all around.
Kindly remember to teach your kid to fuck off.
“crummy bro beer”
Nice, bet you can’t wait to squeeze that runt out so you can go back to your fancy smancy DIPA with gourmet hops, right? FU Bitch.
Disclosure: Cranky prefers fancy smancy DIPA with gourmet hops over Bro Beer but won’t turn one down if offered
Being pregnant doesn’t make you special.
^^ But the baby is.
true, being pregnant doesn’t make one special, but it does make one wobbly on one’s feet, prone to excruciating backache and faintness. so get the fuck up and offer your seat when you see a pregnant woman standing. or an old guy. or anyone with a cane. and offer to hold a student’s heavy backpack on your lap.
why do people have to be so churlish?
Some reason the Bus Driver couldn’t ask someone to give up the seat for the pregnant lady? of course maybe nervous that they may be fat and not pregnant, no win I guess.
Your pregnant, not handicapped . So waddle yer way to the back of the bus toots. Look at the bright side, that way you are closer to the exit doors.
(Let the flaming begin)
babies are dumb
Fuck off preggers. You can stand on the damn bus– you’re pregnant, not disabled.
Oh gawd, the world doesn’t stop spinning on its axis because you got knocked up and have to ride the loser cruiser with the metro BO squad. People smoke in our world. If they are outside, who gives a shit. Do you know how much pollution is in our air to begin with, it don’t make a lick of difference! I watched the most pathetic attempt at fireworks from my balcony the other night. After that crap, there was a giant mushroom cloud of black smoke that lingered above the harbour for at least a half-hour. A bunch of mouthbreathers standing below with their mouths hanging open, just oohing and ahhing. Give up these barbaric rituals if you really care about the air we share.
This women just seethes entitlement, doesn’t she? I hate to be around her when she pops the kid out.
In any event, pregnancy isn’t a disability, but it’s just a nice fucking thing to do to let someone who’s expecting have a seat on the bus. Anyone see the news about the bus accident earlier this week? People were taken to the hospital, and I’ll bet you those people were standing up and went flying when the driver had to slam his brakes on. If OB had’ve been standing on this bus, there would’ve been a lot of risk to her child, and that’s just not cool. Jesus, have a little bit of decency and compassion.
As for the smoking – that’s just fucked to sit down by a visibly pregnant woman and light up a smoke – nurse scrubs or not. Do you realize how sore you are when you are pregnant? Do you know how much of a relief it can be to sit down when you’re pregnant? And since OB was sitting there first, it’s just rude to sit by her and light up. Why should SHE have to move because of your filthy habit/addiction? She shouldn’t! Outside or not, second hand smoke harms fetuses. Jesus christ.
And YES I am back. I was told Life Sucks has been banned and I just checked it out, myself, to confirm. While I still don’t agree with TT and GDM’s banning, this is a big step in making the board what it used to be – a fun place to discuss and debate bitches. Well done, Mod.
I quit smoking once. I substituted celery sticks for cigarettes but they didn’t light well. Now I’m reduced to smoking Hartz catnip and coughing up octogans of hairballs.
The problem with this bitch is that it’s like the show Seinfeld – it’s a bitch about nothing. The poster comes across as having a sense of entitlement or a need to be rewarded for simply being pregnant. Reminds me of the folks that show up at the Seaport Market with giant SUV-like strollers and insist on plowing through the crowd with a “just get out of my way” look of exasperation on their faces. And, while I agree that it is a nicety to give up one’s seat to someone who is in obviously greater need of a seat, it isn’t always obvious that someone is pregnant. I used to work with a woman who I initially thought was pregnant but later realized just had a very big belly. I see a lot of gals around nowadays who may or may not be pregnant – hard to tell sometimes. As for the fat middle aged people the OB disdains, maybe they have very painful arthritic knees and can’t stand for long. And finally, sitting next to a smoker for one minute, while admittedly unpleasant for many of us, isn’t going to ruin the health of OB’s spawn. No need to press the panic button.
