I was trying to find a place to go from the side of the road and on to the sidewalk on Oxford Street. Not the best place to be I know but did you have to intentionally speed up and spray me with soppy wet slush after I signalled at you to slow down so I would not be drenched? Gosh, you must have a lot of rage to be such as ass! —*Shakes head*

How do you know it was intentional. Tires going over slush, water, etc, will bring it up. It is called physics. Oh and in slush or even on a dry road, one cannot stop on a dime.
A BIT OF SPORT
You must understand that this is the time of year when drivers enjoy a bit of sport. This requires patience, timing and skill.
The driver, having spotted a large deep puddle of water lying next to the pavement, must wait until a pedestrian, ideally carrying large parcels, struggles along the sidewalk. Timing is everything. Slowly accelerating, the skillful driver rips into the puddle at the exact moment the pedestrian is next to it. A full drenching is awarded 10 points. If the pedestrian slips and falls into the puddle, 5 bonus marks are awarded. Total scores of all those competing in the sport are tallied up at the end of the day. The winner gets free beer at the tavern that evening.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Did you think to step back so as not to be spayed? It works for me, every time!
Bro Tim it’s pedestrian’s intuition, we just *know* when car fucks do that on purpose!
You can only step back so far, some of those puddles that car fucks are ripping through are DEEP and there isn’t always a lot of room to step aside.
You probably deserved it you fart sniffing hippy! Now stay the fuck off the road unless you’re encased in 2 tons of steel or, a Toyota echo.
PS; BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Zwarte Miete, I really hate it when a driver is so inconsiderate that someone gets “spayed” lol
Shocking op. How DARE you not be the one and only precious gem they are thinking about when trying to navigate icy roads? I mean really, what IS a car full of human lives when pitted against the health and well being of your new skinnies? How is it possible that you are not being noticed?
The answer of course is that it is not possible. Duh! They are intentionally trying to fuck you over, you celeb, you. Because you just not being noticed is, like, obv out of the question.
Shame on halifax. Like, Totes inappropes. What is society coming to?
Shakes head indeed…
Step out of the way of huge puddles instead of waiting to be sprayed so you can enjoy feeling indignant. The driver likely didn’t see you. You need to start accepting your relative invisibility in the greater scheme of things. Sure, someone trying to splash you is possible in the same way that you being kidnapped is possible. But really, most people aren’t that antisocial OR that into you.
Sorry. Merry Christmas anyway.
Did you write down the car make/model/plate and report it to the cyber-bullying unit, OB?
It’s a me, me, me world, get used to it cause it ain’t gonna change!
It will only get worse.
Yours truly.
An empty bus is a happy bus.
