To all you minimum wage workers complaining about the strike: you’re the ones that look stupid. You look stupid because YOU rely 100% on a service that is not always guaranteed to commence. You knew this strike was coming. You should have been more prepared. I am a student and I haven’t taken the bus since probably November 2010, even though it is included in my tuition. Why you ask? Because I’m not about to wait 20 fucking minutes standing in the cold like an idiot as the bus is always, always late. It is unreliable. By the time I’ve wasted 20 minutes waiting for the bus, I could have reached my destination. And I can’t deal with punks and crying babies and obese women who haven’t showered in a week. Plus I’m prone to motion sickness. It is good exercise to walk any way. You people should try it sometime. Why would you rely whole-heartedly on something as important as your transportation when it could very well at any time let you down. I’d like to know what your genius plan is if and when you find out this strike carries on for another month or two or three. Figure it out people. And by the way, these “bus drivers” do have a right to be angry and upset over whatever it is they are angry and upset about. Think about it, they have one of the worst jobs around. Imagine how miserable they must be day in and day out, having to deal with ignorant, selfish, impatient citizens in this city. Fuck I’d want a break too. Let them be. You should spend a little less time bitching and complaining about this situation and a little more time appreciating what you have in your life. Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change. —Start Walking

This has all been covered. Tomorrow there will be 3 more strike bitches. This shit is like beating a dead horse.
I agree with your general sentiment, OB, but your delivery makes you look like a raging c-unt.
On behalf of all those out there making min wage and can’t afford to live right beside their place of work (which is not me, I’m lucky to have car access and live in a great location, but for all the not so advantaged out there): get bent, you fucking herpes sore.
No wonder there are so many anti strike people out there — it’s because of FUPAs like you.
Some people have to “rely whole-heartedly” (or even half-heartedly) on public transit due to a variety of reasons, such as: Cannot afford a car; Cannot afford parking; Unable to live within walking distance to work; Unable to carpool with coworkers or friends (maybe a scheduling issue); Want to choose a more environmentally friendly option than everyone having their own car; Are unable to walk – the list can go on.
You, on the other hand, seem to rely 100% on your car – what if your car breaks down? Gets into an accident? Gas price shoot up even more than you can afford? Traffic becomes so unbearable that it takes you longer (and more gas) to get to where you are going? Your car gets stolen (perhaps by one of the people you’ve called “stupid”)? What will you do then? Will you walk everywhere, even if your destination is over an hour away? Will you try to carpool? Work from home? Not run certain errands because they are out of your walkability range? Take cabs? That’s what people affected by the transit strike are doing. I bet you would complain about that, so why shouldn’t we complain about something that is impacting our daily activities and work schedules?
oh gee o.p., you do go on.
this is the bitchiest thing i have ever read.
MINIMUM WAGE WORKERS of course they take a fucking bus,
minimum wage doesn’t exactly allow the expenses that
parents money or a job you happened to be lucky to get gives you.
some of the people who take buses have a vehicle of their own but in some cases it really is quicker to take the bus in morning traffic and it’s cheaper to bus to work rather than pay for gas and parking
you’re a cunt.
and you’ve probably taken the bus more than you’ll admit but you want something to bitch about.
Get your head out of your ass OP
STFU you ignorant piece of shit! I’m sick of reading about people saying quit bitching about walking when most HAVE to depend on transit to get to work.
Then suddenly they have to walk hours just to get to point B.
When you have to depend on transit to get from point A to point B or have the choice to walk hours then you will understand why so many are pissed about this whole mess.
A student with a major in Ignorance?
Get your head out of your ass…please
Instead of walking for hours…what about a bike ?
I remember when I lived in Dartmouth, up by Newcastle street.
I could get to/from the bridge in about than 10 minutes, now that you can drive across the bridge, you should be able to get from Downtown Halisux over to that area of Dartmouth in 20 minutes.
Don’t get me wrong I know for those of you who live in the Colby area & say, you Timberly folks & out toward Herring Cove are quite a way out, as well as those who live out here near me…but we have no buses anyway.
Hey OP! You completely deflated your own argument, you realize that, right? First you tell the minimum wage people to “deal with it” because they knew it was coming. Then you defend the “rights” of the transit workers to strike, because they have such a crappy job. They CHOOSE to do the job. They knew what the job entailed when they took it, so why the fuck shouldn’t they have to “deal with it”? You can’t have it both ways you whiney little twat. It’s either one or the other, not both. So SHUT THE FUCK UP yourself and put your head back up your ass.
I agree with you, budd.
If you don’t drive, ummm…get a friend to drive you duh
it’s not always as simple as getting a friend to drive you
they have jobs too, duh
and your schedules might not match so how are they supposed to drive you?
people have other things to do than drive people around…. duh
Oh my, a student eh? You must have amassed a wealth of knowledge since mommy dropped you off at your first apartment, huh? When you actually pay taxes, and get to sit at the grown-up table, then your opinion will count. Now walk your ass to Sackville and tell us if your opinion changes any, assclown!!!
Oh, I love it when the student folk act like people that get paid minimum wage are losers that are fat and stinck up the bus…..Well for your information there is a big chance you will graduate someday not only to find yourself in a minimum wage job but more than likely be one of the bus bumbs you speak so highly of going to there bullshit job. Unless of course you stay at home with mommy and daddy who will take care of all your bills and bad credit.
I thought this bitch was going to be about somebody leaving their fly down.
I think I would have enjoyed that more than another transit strike bitch.
OP, you are a spoiled, self-entitled little twat who needs a good whack across the fucking noggin. Go suck a rat’s arse.
Just because someone is obese doesn’t mean she (OR HE) hasn’t showered in a week! Also, you might want to consider taking logic. There are a lot of fallacies in your rant.
