This is a bitch and a praise at the same time.
I just want to give a big fuck you to the couple who left me locked underground at the apartment building on Tower Road on Friday night at around midnight. I had taken the stairs down too far and found myself locked out of the apartment and gated in. They saw me, looked right at me from not 5 feet away, then turned off their light and closed their curtain, leaving me trapped there for around an hour, screaming for help before someone in the apartment heard me and came down to help.
Thank you SO much to the girl who rescued me, and FUCK OFF to the people who left me there. I’m from Toronto and would have expected this kind of reaction there, but not here.—Trapped like a RAT

Another one of life’s unfortunate moments, but it’s late at night in a parking garage … absorb that fact. Who would be rushing down to investigate? Not me, not many people. Your Toronto comparison is ridiculous too. It’s not like people down here enjoy getting beat on, mugged, murdered either.
It can be a scary, random world. People are cautious, mind their business, indifferent, maybe too much so, but there it is. No one wants to be a factoid on the nightly news.
“Yes Jim,
Witnesses reported hearing wild screaming at the midnight hour. Police believe [insert victim name here] went down to investigate when local meth addict John Peter Ole-Fishbarrel bludgeoned him to death with a crescent wrench. He says he’s very sorry.”
um, safety hazard much?
how were you gated in???
this doesn’t make any sense…
That *is* a safety hazard. If there had’ve been a fire, you’d be fuk’d. I’d report that to the fire inspector’s dept, to be perfectly serious.
My building has a lock to get into the parking garage from the inside of the building, but you can still take the elevator or stairs up to the main floor to get out — you’re not locked in. A building I was in this weekend didn’t lock its garage from the inside which was kind of dumb considering any old schmoe could get in the building, go to the garage and do shit to the cars, which defeats some of the purpose OF an underground garage (I mean, I get a break on insurance for parking underground for a reason).
Should have just ran around beating on cars til some alarms went off. That would have gotten the door opened for you.
Sure this wasn’t the drunk tank at HRM PD HQ?
