Hey! I have places to go and don’t have time to scrape you off my hood. If you can’t cross at the crosswalks then don’t expect me to see you next time. And this to the guy who yelled at me to clean the snow and ice off my car… I just said I have places to go! —Mr. MacGoo

I agree with the first part MacGoo. Jaywalkers risk their lives. The ones who yell at you however, to clean your car are spot freakin’ on! If you have places to go it is YOUR responsibility to leave in plenty of time to CLEAN your car. Or maybe you don’t mind risking other people’s lives with that kind of inconsiderate (and illegal) bullshit. CLEAN YOUR CAR!!! You aren’t eager to kill jaywalkers but fellow motorists are okay? That’s fucked logic!
You beat me to it again OC.
Halifax could do what San Diego does, $115 ticket for jaywalking.
It used to be that you could get out of the fine if you attended a pedestrian safety course.
OB, clean off your fucking car.
A buddy and I used to clean off peoples cars (when stopped in traffic), when they thanked us, we’d say that we didn’t do it for them, we did it for the kids they werre going to kill.
If a jaywalking pedestrian gets hit by a vehicle, sometimes it is not the driver’s fault. Two weeks ago a pedestrian was charged with failing to provide sufficient stopping distance for the vehicle that hit him. Don’t worry OP. If they are on a crosswalk, stop for them. If not, keep driving. The fat ones leave dents.
I jay-walk all over this city. Never once have I forced a vehicle to slow down to let me cross.
Look both ways, find an opening and cross.
my post disappeared againn.oh well, fuck it then, i won’t bother putting anything else on this fucking site. let’s see if this shows or not, then i will really know where the assholes are.
I understand cleaning your windows…I do not understand having to get a ladder so I can clean off the top of my truck.
I’m over 6 ft tall & my trucks got 6 plus inches on me.
I say,Let the wind take care of it.
That’s what makes highway driving so much fun…next thing you know you’ll be bitching about shoveling out the back of the truck so that huge following snow cloud it produces on the highway doesn’t happen any more !
you’re trying to ruin my entertainment !
If you cannot reach your roof.

YAY! don’t worry LS, most of us skip your posts anyways….
that or ridicule them as much as possible.
you’re saving yourself stress/anger
Aren’t you so special, OP. Like you are the only one who has places to go. /spit
On behalf of gays everywhere…EFF OFF Fat! Ain’t nuttin’ inferior about this life form!
sebastian’s pretty inferior.
“… The fat ones leave dents” or bounce off gracefully like a marshmallow or a cloud.
Donk, I understand why you would think that but it’s a common misconception that marshmallows don’t have skeletons…

I heard if you run over pretentious gay men it leaves hot pink streaks on your car.
When I am driving my car, I am always swearing up a storm in my head about the idiot pedestrians.
When I am walking, it’s always the driver’s that are the morons. Funny how that works.
I don’t think it’s good to leave A LOT of snow/ice on your car that COULD be a hazzard. Better safe than sorry. But it’s not against the law by any means. Yet.
