OK, I was walking home on Robie after just receiving some bad news from my doctor. I was down. You and your fat ass gf were walking side by side towards me and she was pushing a baby carriage (stroller… whatever). You could have moved behind her and let me go by ’cause I didn’t want to step to the side and in the mud. The material on the shoulder of our jackets LIGHTLY brushed (BARELY touched) against each other. I didn’t want to go around and walk in the mud. I didn’t think anything of it until you got to a “safe” distance and STARTED SCREAMING PROFANITY AT ME. I ignored it. I am a former military policeman and if there’s ever a next time with you…—Proud to be Canadian

next time, smext time. you should have done something then and there. military police indeed. and i’m king of the fucking world. get some spine and do it at the time shit happens, why come here and ask to be humiliated more than you just did to yourself,fool.
I’m not sure what being proud to be Canadian has to do with any of this… were the people walking opposite not Canadian??
In any event, I’ve had people do this, try and force me to walk in the mud – they get a shoulder check from me like no other, and I am the one telling THEM off for not moving the fuck over.
Try that next time OB, if you are worried about who gets the last word – be proactive!
Too much for the Coasties to work with: MP, Proud Canadian, Stroller vs Baby Carriage, Robie St. It’s like throwing chum to them.

When I am on a sidewalk and see people coming at me like a wall & believe they will not make room for me, I stop. Then its on them if they try to walk over me, which also allows you to be prepared to defend yourself, if some ass wants a piece of you… there are very few people who are big enough to take up the entire width of the sidewalk…so single file when necessary IMO is the right way to proceed.
Not a big tourist season right now, OP, so chances are pretty good the douche family is also Canadian. Douchebaggery has no citizenship requirement; They’ll take anyone.
If someone is coming towards me, in my lane, or half of the sidewalk or whatever, I do the same thing whether I’m driving or walking. I just stop. Stand right there and wait for them to go around. (I drive a sedan, btw and it works with big trucks).
They can either run into you or move the fuck over. In all my years of using this tactic, no one has ever chosen to run into me. It’s a passive action, so is not seen as provocative.
I agree with the stop idea, it is a non-aggressive way to let the other guys know that you are not moving.
Fat ass GF …… baby carriage ….. Robie Street …… duh, of course they wouldn’t understand etiquette ~ probably getting their own drip cleared up at the dr.’s office ……..
Sounds like the same mentality as pushing into an elevator without letting the occupants out first.
when someone projects negativity at you, come back at them with as much positve energy as you can. then watch them squirm.
Energy doesn’t come much more positive than this:

You’re lucky they didn’t pull a sawed-off out of the pram! Watch it these days, with the buses not running theres more crazies out and about than normal. Probably the only negative of the bus strike so far.
this would have been the prime time to utilize those acting lessons you took back when you were young and wanted to be famous.
Quick…. you’re a blind, parasitic, hunchback leper with a pet hybrid monkey/cat in your pants…
AAAAND GO
oh look, they ran across the street!
A moving flesh wall doesn’t change their stride to accommodate for people walking toward them? IN HALIFAX?
Look. I don’t know what city you’re from originally but i experienced the same disbelief at pedestrian disorganization myself when i first got here. Yes. They stop randomly on the street and stare at things without considering the throng of others they may be impeding. Yes. They step out in front of cars without looking to see what’s coming at them. And yes, they also have a bit of trouble figuring out what to do when a pack of them approaches another pack of them walking in opposite directions.
But that’s what makes this city so grand. The duck-and-weave game isn’t quite so important here. Pedestrians have the right of way and that’s made them a bit sloppy. But you’ve got it good here.. chill out a little..
“a moving flesh wall” that sounds titillating and disturbing, all at the same time
especially when you consider a wall is built one post at a time…
Should have kicked the stroller. It’s ok because that baby is going to grow up to be Fairview, exco wearing, welfare earning, KFC-eating trash anyways.
Do they still have KFC in the ‘view? The Spry/”Armdale” one shut down.
Hey, I see that somebody got their Doctor to reinstate their Internet privileges.
How’s life in the forensics ward goin for ya?
You remind me of Liptons Tea, weak and boring.
