I’m just curious how many people are suing the city after wiping out on icy sidewalks this winter. I had to jump over a giant snow bank to cross the road and I did a face plant in the middle of the road, almost getting run over by an oncoming vehicle. I peeled myself off the sidewalk to find I had completely ruined my white cashmere coat!!! Once the snow began to melt in conjunction with blocked drainage pipes, it was slippery as fuck so I fell again, hurt my ankle and hand, ruined my other coat, a Le Chateau Peacoat that shit aint cheap… and got soakers in my 150 dollar fuckme boots in the river of a puddle! They have been soaked so bad over and over they smell like cornchip feet. I cannot wear these!!! I put my feet in them for a second, the boots heat up and they are hummin! WTF H^LIF^X!?! I’m putting my bill in to small claims court and I suggest other citizens do the same for ya’ll broken bonez n cracked skullz and ruined attire! —nuthin to wear

By simply stepping forth on icy sidewalks you assume liability and the City’s responsibility is mitigated.
Fake, if not, take some responsibility for yourself.
I think the most regrettable aspect of this whole incident is the loss of the Le Chateau Peacoat, a very convenient piece of apparel when using the street “pissoirs” of Montreal.
Sorry, OB, but you should sue yourself for lacking the common sense to wear appropriate footwear….. and make sure you ask for punitive damages.
Geez OB, I have had NO issues walking on ice or snow covered sidewalks even though i had hip surgery and am with crutches and hip brace only 5 weeks ago. Hell, i even managed to keep my driveway clear of snow AND ice only days after having the surgery performed….must beone of those lessons not taught in life anymore…how to walk like a normal individual.
or you know you could go out and buy a $20 set of ice cleats for your shoes…. you know, to take responsibility for your own health and safety 😉
This is why you shouldn’t have nice things..
personal culpability.
Surprise!!! You apparently cannot sue the city for their lack of good plowing. Better gear yourselves up for next year, or start praying for a snow free winter for 2016 because we’re probably in for the same fucked up joke it was this year.
small piece of advice: dress for the weather and sidewalk conditions. Save the fuck-me boots honey for summer.
