For the last month I have lost count of all the times I have got splashed by asshole drivers. Yeah you asshole drivers have to share the road with people who walk and use the bus. slow the fuck down when you see a puddle and people walking. One almost soaked my kid. Next time a driver decided to be an ass I’m going to let them know its not right and going a leave a mark on there over priced piece of metal. So drivers can you please take into consideration the facts that we have had a bad winter and some people have to walk on the road. —Getting fed up with drivers

No, you won’t.
I understand the sentiment but vigilante justice usually goes horribly wrong for all parties. Just ask Jesus S (^^^) about lynch mobs!
sling shot and ball bearings….
Yeah, you gonna chase that vehicle like a dog! You’re all bark this morning.
A CLASS MARKER
“So drivers can you please take into consideration the facts that we have had a bad winter and some people have to walk to work.” Getting fed up with drivers
You must understand, in this age of the common man, that there are very few activities which highlight that Darwinian struggle to pass on one’s superior DNA to one’s descendants. By splashing the pedestrians who have to walk on the road to get to work, the drivers can demonstrate the distinction between them and the pedestrians, the winners from the losers, the successful from the failures. Splashing the pedestrians is, of course, to be understood primarily as symbolic. While the activity can be taken literally, its real intent is to gesture to the reduced status of the proletarians, of the underclass. It is a class marker. You must accept your station in life.
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
Plastic, not metal. They haven’t made cars out of metal since the seventies.
you chose to walk in the street because you chose not to properly prepare yourself for icy sidewalks. when you made that choice, you the pedestrian in the street just entered a game of splash roulette that’s rigged against you.

Why do you have kids if you can’t afford a car? Or maybe you could afford one but choose cable tv, a cell phone, and $150 a month worth of video games, I definitely don’t support splashing pedestrians but why are their so many people in NS who choose to have kids with a shitty or no income, It is a choice after all…
Shut up about people having kids when they don’t drive. You don’t know the reasons why some people end up in the situations they are in. Besides owning a car is way to expensive. Well back on topic now. As for splashing people. Its ignorant and has happened a few times. And yes the windshield would be a great target to get the point accross.
Did your kid almost get splashed with battery acid? Just wondering…
