Why are Halifax drivers so unaware of their ineptitude? This morning I got stuck behind some tubby cretin who let two people turn left in front of him on the same street. He then proceeded to drive a brisk 30 km/hr for the remainder of the time I was stuck behind him. Come on, people! If you’re going to drive like an imbecile at least have the courtesy of making sure no one is behind you! —Honestly

Memories of Pappy, Woggie? Didn’t he call you his favourite little front end loader? ROFLMAO!!!!! Have an Oreo.
Honestly, I did it to piss you off 🙂
Memories of paranoia TT? I must be, I must be, right TTFN?
Sure thing, Woggie/Stephen/Tub Unit and all the other snippy little voices in your head – you didn’t even notice that I wasn’t the only one who busted your bogus ID – fuck, do you have a melon on the end of your neck, Woggie? ROFLMAO!!!!!!! Have an Oreo.
I notice a lot of things, like you being the most argumentative person on this board. Your also paranoid, I am not your dear friend Woggy. Just a man with a new profile to speak the truth to you so you will hopefully get the message without there being a problem between the two of us. Good night dear.
TTFN, please take your own advice. STOP ARGUING WITH THE TROLLS!!!! They will go away.
ROFLMO!!!!! Have an Oreo.
OP seems like a candidate for a cranial embolism.
Give it a rest Woggie, this is getting beyond boring.
…or a heart attack…still, that shit drives me nuts on work days, so i kinda feel for OP….but Hugo made me LMFAO:D
stephen shes thik in tha hed. an stupid. giv her time. she get it later. holllis stret is comin yer way woman. jes wait.
Honey Boo Boo and Mama June want their chins back, Wogdog. Seems like you pilfered through the family heirloom chin chest and took all the best ones.
The harder you try, the funnier it gets. Have an Oreo.
if someone is putting you in danger or putting themselves or others in danger in your vicinity, you have a right to be this angry. But if you can’t prepare for the fact that some people drive a little under the speed limit (and btw that LIMIT is a maximum limit. Not minimum) then you suck at time management.
For all you know, this person may be new to the city (and has to learn to drive it sometime) or may be looking for an address which is why he’s moving at half speed.
And 90% of the time, when someone makes a left and through traffic is stuck waiting, it usually means there is a pedestrian crossing in front of the through traffic. And in that case, a left turn that doesn’t impede the pedestrian is a legal move as far as i know. Did you even look to see WHY? Probably not.
Yes it’s annoying when people creep but not as annoying as you’re making it out to be. Besides, you might as well get used to it. There are whispered rumours of the downtown limit dropping to 30 anyway.
Get up earlier. That way you can plan for contingencies. You know. Like an intelligent person.
Thank you, eats_crayons, for a reasonable response to this speeding individual. As someone who was hit by a car while I (quite legally) crossed the street, and nearly died because of it (quite literally; two brain surgeries, a week of coma, and month of hospitalization, along with a litany of other fun events), I’d much rather “Honestly” slows the hell down, and pay attention, rather than rushing to work.
