fred are you the type that pulls around a stopped car you only know that the person was backing up how in the hell would you ever know that there wasnt someone hit on the street in front of the stopped car wait now i know because you as well as the lady that went around me went to the same driving school its called common sense a car stops for a reason please let everyone know when you jump in your vehicle so they can stay home your as bad as she is

Holy fuck, try to use periods and commas next time.
i have never done this beforedid you ever think of that before youput someone down did you read ityes you did you could have stoppednot forcing anyone to read sohave a goodnight
Never done what before? Write a paragragh? Pretty sure I learned that when I was in grade one or two. hmmm.
I agree people should stop, smell the roses and be kind to their neighbors but don’t stop on any highway. It’s dangerous and can lead drivers to believe it’s safe for them to proceed onto a highway when it’s not.Driving in NS is bizarre and quite dangerous because of this way of thinking… that it’s nice to stop on a highway to yield to a driveway or some other does-not-have-the-right-of-way kind of road. I moved here right after they changed the way the rotary works to match the way traffic circles work in the rest of the world. I heard part of the problem was this sort of yielding nonsense leading to traffic jams.Robert, by stopping like that and causing the red car behind you to swerve into the next lane to avoid hitting you, you put the lives of the mother and her children at risk. If they had been nailed it would have been their own fault for proceeding onto a highway when it was not safe to do so. Yet, you were likely blocking her vision of oncoming traffic with all your niceness. If she had been hit you’d be in quite an ethical conundrum right now. Just follow the rules of the road and leave your warm fuzzy feelings out of it. We’ll all be much safer on the road if you do.So, when the traffic in the left lane is stopped, say, waiting to turn left thru oncoming traffic to enter a driveway (not at a corner, not at an intersection, not at a crosswalk, a single line dividing the road) should the traffic in the right lane stop until the left turn is made? Uh, no, please don’t.Is this ‘passing on the inside’? No. This is called driving in the right lane. Passing on the inside means you don’t cross the road’s dividing line to pass, instead you drive on the shoulder… another stupid and illegal move.Everybody, especially Robert, please learn how to drive. Thank you.And Robert, starting another thread on the same issue gets you no where. I don’t care if you’ve “never done this before”. Smarten up! and stop telling everybody to be nice when you keep implying we have no common sense on the road… THESE ARE OUR ROADS and we know the law. Say something useful, readable or go learn punctuation, take driver’s ed… something else. *sigh*
I feel so special, Robert dedicated a bitch just for me!! To answer your question of how do I know that there wasn’t an accident? Simple, there are a few flags for this, at every accident there are a lot of people stopped and rubbernecking (human nature, we’re curious), emergency vehicles, cars crumbled, a car pointing in the wrong direction, fire maybe. Any of these raises awareness, this is called paying attention. How do you know I went to the same driving school as the lady? Were you there? If so, you must have been sleeping because you missed the nice presentation on not letting someone back out of their driveway, you are on the road and have the right of way, stopping to let someone out because it makes you warm inside is just plain stupid and can lead to an accident, something you almost witnessed.In the other thread, you mentioned that I am probably one to use the finger, not usually but now I am. A big fuck you to you for being an idiot. And since you’re new at this whole writing business, I’ll assume that you are new at the internet as well, so I’ll repost my other post here:This was one of the most amusing bitches in a while. Robert, the point was that you have the right of way, keep it so you don’t cause any accidents. The person pulling out of his/her driveway will do so when there is time for it to be safely done. They will ensure this especially when they have a baby on board. Funny how you suggest that I don’t have a mind when I am the one forming sentences and making arguments… And FYI, I never back out on a busy road, street, or highwayTake Kay’s advice and do us all a favor.
Nobody said anything about stopping in the middle of a highway, to which i’m referring to the 100-series, not a regular road like Coburg. Nobody said anything about slamming on their brakes to let someone out of their driveway thus causing the ‘Red Car Bitch’ to swerve to avoid a collision. If everyone was paying attention, no one would’ve had to do anything but be patient, which is apparently very difficult. There are many areas in and outside the city that, if it weren’t for considerate drivers, no one would be able to leave their driveways or turn on to another street. And what is this ‘passing on the inside’ bullshit? Passing on the right, or the ‘inside’ refers to roadways with 2 or more lanes. Again, no one said anything about the shoulder of the freakin road. I think I’m kinda on Robert’s side on this one. Bring it on
wow i came on to make a point and kay, fred, and whoever else reply’s pretty much puts down a persons education well see im notthat rude so to the one’s that have turned this into a education issue i would tell you to go fuck off but instead im willing to admit i have no education so if you don’t like what you read then stop reading it you should be ashamed of mentioning how i type and just comment on what i said kay i thought you might be a decent person and starting a new thread did get me somewhere it got fred and kay’s attention again i know its hard to read but your still reading it and fred i thought you had better manners then what your showing do you wish to reply
thanks mimi i appreciate the support ihave know idea how they got highwayout of this
Folks, the Motor Vehicle Act defines “highway” as any public throughfare which is meant for vehicle traffic. That’s why people keep referring to city streets as “highways”; because legally, that’s what they are.
The thing is Robert, it is clear that you are educated enough to understand basic spelling, and your vocabulary and thoughts are what I would expect from a grown adult. You are also clearly quite able to read as well. So what is confusing, is where the education system has failed you in that you are not aware of how to place a period “.” at the end of each sentence? When you finish a thought, just place one of these “.” bad boys at the end and then start again, preferably with a Capital Letter, but we can get by without as long as you place a period. Otherwise, how the hell are people supposed to understand you? If you want people to be sympathetic to your typing skills, or lack thereof, try telling us what the hang up is, otherwise people are going to think you are jerking them around and make fun of you.
And Robert, I don’t think you seem particularly uneducated. Your spelling is better than a lot of people’s on here. It’s just that the complete lack of punctuation makes your writing very difficult to read. And that’s a shame, because you seem to reasonable, civil person with something to contribute to a discussion.
this is for yourmom you really don’t seem to sureon what grade you learned that in 1 or 2 what is ittry to at least pick one before you reply
miranda again thanks for being decent and your righti need to put everything together properly againthanks for being decent i respect that
miles(from home) just to comment on the last part i am notlooking for sympathy i am stating a fact atleast i have the ballsto admit my problems at putting together sentences how the hellyou said are people suppose to understand me well you replieddid you not
Robert, you know enough to use an appostrophe to show possession (it got fred and kay’s attention) but you don’t know to use a period at the end of a sentence? I don’t get it.
jennie thats okay neither do i
I kind of like it.There’s a noble prize winning author (Jose Saramago) who doesn’t use proper punctuation – everything’s together in one big paragraph. Very hard to get used to, but once you do, he’s phenomenal.
That should be – nobel. I’m sure he’s noble, too…
Bullshit Robert… Bull SHIT.
I kinda gotta lean in your direction on this one Floyd. I find it hard to believe that anyone who can find the return key, & and ( ) can’t find the “.” or Shift keys. Or that an intelligent, semi-literate person can figure out how to set up an e-mail account, a coast account and can’t figure out a period. We are clearly being messed with. I have some familiarity with learning disabilities, but punctuate-itis is a new one. You gotta admit Robert, it’s a little fishy.
first i will reply to Qwerty your rightthere is nothing wrong with it whensomeone is honest and admits to itlike i do it just goes to show that the peoplewho find it hard to read it maybe they just cant read
now floyd do you mean that yourFULL OF SHIT FLOYD FULL OF SHIT
may i ask miles why i finnaly bitchabout something and all everyone does is bitch DO YOU FIND THAT FISHY but to be honest its been nice chattingyour not being messed with and learning disabilitythat is going just a little to far don’t say that about yourselve
Robert, I really don’t find people bitching at you fishy at all. Threads often go off topic with insults exchanged. That’s pretty normal, I guess you will get used to it if you stick around. I don’t mean to bust your chops, but it is hard not to believe that you are just writing the way do by choice, not by circumstance. If you fancy yourself an e.e.cummings or a Jose Saramago, so be it. Doesn’t really matter anyway, your bitch was valid, you have some decent things to say and I won’t let your “style on the Coast” get in the way of listening.
would everyone mind not worrying abouthow i type things and go back to the woman nearly hitting the mom & child in the cardriving down the street that one is for you kaynotice i didn’t put highway why you askbecause kay it was a street always will benow i’m just waiting for fred or kay to replynow everyone knows if one does so will the otherthere either the same person or twins i hope you can read this
thanks miles i respect you for saying thatit pretty much went out of wack who knowsmaybe everyone will get together and have a great laugh
Enlightening you, Robert, is as fun as kicking a dead horse and just as pointless. How many different ways can this get spelled out? Miranda gets it:”Folks, the Motor Vehicle Act defines “highway” as any public thoroughfare which is meant for vehicle traffic. That’s why people keep referring to city streets as “highways”; because legally, that’s what they are.”Please don’t drive anymore. You cause traffic jams, unnecessary collisions and lumpy dead horses.
Robert, if your writing style was the result of limited education, my sympathies would be with you… But they’re not… so fuck off…Its like a fully sighted person who puts on dark glasses, gets a white cane, and goes for a walk down the middle of SGR… Pathetic, really.Maybe its for the attention it brings you, maybe its a social experiment, or maybe you are another poster known here, who is trying to hide their natural writing style behind this lame facade… I don’t really care why you are doing it…I just want you to be aware that you don’t fool me… ASSHOLE
Hey Kay, thanks for correcting my spelling without drawing attention to it… ;-P
Well this post doesn’t make sense!
Here’s the deal Coyo… Robert is playing the “poor little nice guy i dont have much edumacation so i never learned how to use punctuation” charade… But it just doesn’t wash…And oh yeah, you have to be “invited” to reply to him… Since he is the OP, he OWNS the thread… I guessJust another fucking troll… Surprise surprise…
floyd you have no idea how this all startedso if you don’t read the first part then youwill never know floyd may i ask do yourent a movie then watch just the end of itthen bitch about how the movie didnt make sensewell floyd that is what you did here do yourselve a favourgrab a book and start from the beginning then try to finish ityou might just get what it means nearly forgot floyd try togo through one day without calling people names trollcan you not do better

ps floyd your friend robert
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA omg, I’m actually laughing out loud. Yay Floyd, grow some balls. HAHAHAHAHA
thanks robert… you know no one has ever reached out to me on this site in the way that you have… until now… Maybe, just maybe we CAN be friends… Really good life-long friends…I can tell that you are in fact a very nice person and respectful of others, unlike myself who has a rather unpleasant personality disorder… But I am working on that…From now on thanks to the example you have set, I am really going to try to be nicer to people on this site and in real life…But I have to go now… I am getting a little misty… I think I’ll go phone my mother who I haven’t seen in 16 years… Thanks again Friend,,, you have changed my life…

Is anyone else getting a strong Ginger/LOL vibe from Robert? We did suggest that she take off for awhile and then come back with a completely different name and writing style…
Floyd….BY FAR…the BEST response I have read on here in quite a while….I bow down and exclaim my “unworthiness”!! You have made my day!!
hi people are stupid, how are you today? I am fine thanks in case you are wondering…Anyway I DID get the gingie-vibe also, but i am going through a personal renaissance thanks to robert , and accordingly i will not be participating in the speculation this time around…Myles, peace be with you my friend…And Jenn thanks for the kind words… You may indeed me unworthy, but please induldge me that I may be all the more unworthier… or is it unworthiest???
agreed people are stupid…
myles i like your stylenow you can put your typiing on filemaybe get your shock treatment and stay for awhilemaybe the drugs that your taking might be lacedmaybe read your last one just shows your two facedokay bring it on
Robert,For a guy claiming to be nice you sure turned out to be a hateful prick.
floyd your still posting can’t believe itokay i apoligize maybe you do have ballsonce again floyd i have never posted on anythingbefore but i must say it’s turned pretty amusinggood talking or arguing with everyone no hard feelings
Yeah jeez robert, I’m kind of surprised and a little disappointed Friend… I don’t think Miles said anything to justify a response like that… If anything, Miles is a real nice guy like you are (and now, me too…) Meanwhile I’m over on another thread trying to warm up kay a bit, I am sure beneath the all-business exterior that kay shows the world, is a tender, gentle, kind-hearted human being, that needs a hug now and then just like ou and me… Come on kay… Come on join us and be happy….
alright finally heard from kaywhat highway were you on to type thatdo you want to bet it was robie highway sorryi mean street kay you just cant help yourselfnow has anyone seen fred come on fred your turn
Thanks so much Robert, but now it just feels funny between my legs…
im glad your having fun now floyd it’sabout time you let your hair downyour actually full of humour and you thoughti was going to say shit didn’t you have a good one
kay how do you of all people cometo the conclusion that im a hateful prickthat would be like me calling you a hateful cuntbut i wont i really can’t stand that word but youso filled with anger take a look at floyd and howhe turned his life around if you want to message mei’ll try to help you as well kay where in the hell is fred
hey hey Robert! Thanks for the kind words, I really respect you for saying those nice things. Just to be clear about what the brain behind both of my faces is thinking, I really meant everything I said. I think your original bitch was valid and I think you are a reasonably intelligent person. I also find your writing style irritating and think you are writing that way by choice. I choose to make fun of your writing style and still won’t let that keep me from paying attention should you have anything meaningful to say in the future. Don’t take the ribbing personally (or do, I really don’t care). I think you have shown that your skin is tough enough to take it. You are hardly a defenseless kitten.Floyd paid top dollar for his bullshit detector and I have learned to trust it. Mine has the “benefit of the doubt” setting cranked too high and the knob has snapped completely off…leaving me somewhat vulnerable to forum trolls and the like.
sorry miles no harm ethier way sorry for being such a prick maybe your rightkay but i did admit to it now if you can only get your highways straight
Yeah Miles, the bullshit detector still hasn’t hasn’t come out of the red zone in the past few days…Its definately a Troll… but whether or not it’s one we already know is hard to say at this point…And hi Robert,,, hope you are having a nice day. Bye for now…
hello everybody my name is robert and i am a troll you know what that is don’t you well in case you dont its very annoyingwhat i do is i write out a paragraph normally go back remove thepunctuation slice lines then post I like to piss people off pretending to be illetrate neat gag huh
I was reading where the coast had unveiled its new slogan for the bitch section on the website… It was: ” Troll-Free since May 23″(I think that was the day of Homie-Jam’s last post)Anyway I guess they won’t be able to use that slogan now that Robert has been outed… Too bad, it had a nice ring to it…
HAHAHA LMAO phew, I needed that. thanx!
so floyd im pathetic because your replyingso who really is pathetic floyd then floydor is this kay, or fred wow triplets anywaywhich ever you are you tell me to fuck offand that im a asshole floyd did anyone invite youto reply do you even know me thats right floydi am the one helping seniors with there groceriesholding doors and even letting people back upinto the highway sorry kay i mean streetwhen was the last time you did something decentbesides telling people to fuckoff i can see you now floydslamming doors on people and walking past peoplestruggling with there groceries so floyd there’s a bigdifference between you and me it’s me being niceand you being the asshole waiting for a reply from thetriplets kay, fred,& floyd

No big deal qwerty… just another Troll outing… Rabid Robet…Could be Ging’r… Could be Homely… Not too sure, but best advice I can give is Do Not Engage… Take Evasive Action…Danger Danger,,, Subject is VERY Annoying… Repeat VERY ANNOYING… Don’t say you haven’t been warned…
