Get out of the damn way!! Side walks are for 2-way “traffic” so you and your friends UNFORTUNATELY are going to have to separate for a couple of seconds. I know, I know. It’s hard to think about.

But for fucks sake have a little respect. Move out of the way so that people walking in the other direction don’t have to trample through the mud just so that you don’t have to sacrifice being any further from your pathetic friends. SO RUDE! —notbackingdown

  1. When faced with these kind of jackasses, I will occasionally opt to square myself and just throw a hockey-style open ice hit on them.

    Ask yourself: ‘What would Scott Stevens do?’

    This is usually when I’m in a bad mood for some other reason. Always seems to cheer me up though….

    I’m not proud of it; but the last encounter was with a skinny teenage girl walking three abreast with two other teenage girls – taking up the entire sidewalk. My options were bodycheck or step in a big mud puddle off the sidewalk. I think she was quite surprised….

  2. This is not acceptable, you could at least say you were on a bike and how rude of those pedestrians not to step in the mud to make way for your lordship/ladyship

  3. Not only going against the, but when you walk at a decent pace, and have a gaggle of people in front of you walking slow, it is also annoying. Halifax has some of the rudest, most selfish people I have ever seen, and i have lived in many major cities, including Toronto.

  4. Do like they do in Asia….walk with elbows posed to jab people in the ribs. Works everytime.

    What annoys me are the children and parents not watching them on a busy sidewalk. I am tried of looking down to see I stepped on some kid.

  5. The attitude seems to be spreading. Now, when I’m confronted with sidewalk hogs, I just focus on some imaginary spot on the horizon, stand tall, pull my shoulders back, then walk straight on through. Granted, to one side, but not off the sidewalk. The worst, though, are those who walk along texting or talking on their phone, thinking they deserve extra respect because they are so handy with their multi-tasking.

  6. I completely agree, OB!! Just this morning, I was jogging, and came head to head with 4 girls talking away, walking in a line of four on the sidewalk. They saw me, and didn’t try to move. Bitches.
    One time, when there were two girls walking and one of them was texting, I simply didn’t move out of the way. I almost ran right into her on purpose, until she looked up and gasped, then moved aside. Her friend didn’t tell her I was there either!

  7. nice avatar donk. maybe we could get volunteer bobbies like they have in england…hobby bobbies. truncheons for all

  8. I could totally rawk the old ‘elmet & boots.
    “Ello, ‘ello. What’s all this, then? That is not where you found that book you ‘orrible little man”

  9. Yup I too read boobies and was like *gasp, how salacious pg* then I thought, I’m ok with volunteer boobies … Then I realized it was bobbies and my world crumbled and my day got worse and I wanted to die. Althought that might have something to do with the weather. Merci Pg.

  10. Brendon – we have a code 2. Donk is depressed. We need 30ccs of Ribaldry. STAT!
    Once we get her stabilized we’ll need to call in a specialist.

    Oooooh Suckulous………>; )

  11. there should be personal cow catchers for people who walk on sidewalks. barring that, a good shoulder shove sideways might also work.

  12. I plowed down a few across-the-sidewalk groups of boneheads today on Barrington Street. I just sing the ‘Mr. Plow’ song and forge ahead.
