Ok, so it snowed the other night, I can deal with that, it is February. It is also thawing and melting, again I can deal with the messy sidewalks and crosswalks and everything else, we all can we are Canadian. But, (and you knew there would be one) this is to the little snot nosed jerk driving the security car on Wilette street late Saturday morning, whom decided it would be a laugh to speed past and spray the people (myself included) who were waiting for the bus with the sloppy filthy slush, I hope you slip in to a big ass pile of this wet slushy shit and soil yourself in front of a large group of people so they can laugh at you! What you did was uncalled for and asinine and I hope karma gets you back good dick face! —The Slushed

I’m sure glad somebody else doesn’t like being splashed with slush. I’m sure there’ll be some opposite opinions on the matter, as we argued about it a few weeks ago.
Valid bitch – in my opinion.
Very Valid, i was on the everyones favourite transit system Friday in the monsoon and the driver missed two bus stops although i dinged the bell twice, and went to the front to talk to him, when i finally got off i had to walk uphill in that crazy rain to get home, my coat didn’t dry till sunday.
Not another call for karma. Why not just stand back from the street if you see a slush puddle?
i just love watching the asshole jump in the air, when that nice cold slushy shit gets them. some of my biggest laughs, come from watching fools like you dance. trying to evade the oncoming shower. fuck, how i love to watch that.
If it was done intentionally then I hope the driver gets what ever is coming to them. If it wasn’t, then OP, standing in front of a massive puddle then crying when you get splashed is like standing next to the paper men at a shooting range and crying when you get shot.
So why didn’t you call the security company? Their names and numbers are all over their vehicles and most likely have GPS in them.
Chances are he’s unarmed so next time you see him walking just get even with him.
I think this is funny. It’s winter and you got spashed. Shit happens.
I am pretty sure if buddy got splashed from falling snow is would be a lot less upsetting than getting splashed by an idiot who seemed to go out of their way to splash everyone standing on the side of the road.
splashed by falling snow? Jenn think about that for a second. hahaha
better than an avalanche of rain.
I anticipate another round of these bitches because of the downpour yesterday….
man, it sucked out there. I was walking home and got to the building NEXT DOOR before I sloshed into a puddle and soaked my foot.
10 steps to home free and I dunk it. grrrrrrrrr….
Jesus christ where have YOU been, zed?
if you are lucky enough to get the license plate, believe it or not intentionally(you have to prove it was) splashing someone with their car is a form of assault, just like spitting on someone. you may not like it but it is a punishable offense if you can prove it was done intentionally and actually got the plate number and description of the driver while gasping at the freezing cold shower you just got.
I’m with sodeypop. Walk up to him with a cup full of ice cold slush and toss it in his face. Make sure there’s no cameras around though. And don’t forget to claim 100% of your tips!
As someone who is a driver and a pedestrian, I can understand how it sucks to be soaked but are you really that surprised about it? Do you actually think it was 100% intentional? If I had the choice, as a driver, of driving through a puddle or driving into another car, I would choose the puddle. Call me selfish, but that’s what I would do. When I’m driving about, I’m not paying attention to sizes of puddles and calculating my speed versus how far away a pedestrian is. I’m mostly watching the lights, to see if someone is going to step out in front of me or if someone else in a car is paying attention to what’s going on. When I’m walking around and I get splashed by a puddle/car, I don’t automatically blame the driver. It happens! The other day, I was waiting at a crosswalk and noticed a massive puddle right beside me. I took several steps back as I waited for light and remained dry whereas if I had of stayed where I was, I would have been soaked. Why is the onus on the driver of a car and not on the slow walking pedestrian? It’s much easier for a pedestrian to notice puddles than someone in a car. Frig.
the odds that it was intentional, or due to complete lack of situational awarness as opposed to an accident id say are in the 70-30 range. that being said, you dont have to swerve to avoid the puddle, you can just safely slow down to minimize any splash. thats just being a courteous and attentive driver and a good person as a whole.
