Ok. Here’s the deal. You are making the roads more hazardous when you leave work earlier during a snow storm. Here’s why; there are two major traffic rushes during the afternoon. One happens at 3:30, the other at 5:00. If everyone decides to leave at 3:30 or 4:00, it creates a clusterfuck on the roads on top of the shitty driving conditions.
I know, I know. Everyone in the office is in panic mode and telling you that everyone should leave early. Hell even the radio is calling for a mass exodus. But just like you, other people – including the radio hosts – are also idiots.
Stop making conditions worse! I waited till 6:00 and got home at the same time as most of you without sitting in my idling car for 3 hours. —I pitty the foolz!

You spellt pity wrong, bitch.
Fuck dat, I ain’t stayin late in dat hellhole office. Till 6 O’clock, you crazy?! I’m outtie. Take the metro transit loser cruiser and you’ll be home in 20 minutes.
Not sure what your bitch is about as waiting out the weather didn’t seem to interfere with your ETA at your destination. Eat the yellow snow, bitch!
THE POOR FOOL
“I waited till 6:00 and got home at the same time as most of you without sitting in my idling car for three hours.” I pittty the poor foolz
But if the first traffic rush happens at 3:30 and the second at 5:00 with the drivers of each sitting in their idling cars for three hours and then you left at 6:00, that means that you would have added to both traffic rushes. The first traffic rush would have ended at 6:30 when you had already made your way out onto the road and thereby increasing the clusterfuck while the second would not have ended until 8:00 which means that you would have sat I your idling car for two hours. You should have waited until 8:00 you poor fool.
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
No, sorry. I got picked up at 1500 and was home by 1600, my friend who is loyal to the corp stayed ’till 1800 and got off his bus 1/2 way home at 2030 to make the rest of the 45 minute walk through Hothilax. It was nice being warm and cozy at 1700 making supper and looking at the webcams of traffic that lasted well into the evening.
Anyway, people can do what they want, so STFU.
why would someone exhort others to stop the behaviour that has made his commute easier?
(and no-fool what bus were you on? my daughter’s 20-30 minute commute took two hours – I was messaging her to keep her company on that dreadfully long trip)
Ah man, it’s 2015! You need to get yourself a hover conversion. Who needs roads?
Sackville friends said it took a grand ol’ 4.5 hr bus ride to get home.
Mine was on a god damn snow route, took the WRONG snow plan route, and I ended up walking a half hour in the last storm for a total 2 hour commute home.
ug.
suppose it could have been worse, I saw on the twitter feeds there was already 7 accidents before I had even disembarked.
People can’t drive for shit…
Best not to bother going in if the weather calls for nasty conditions. Nothing wrong with leaving early either as long as you leave early enough, before the snow really starts to accumulate and you’re just getting in the way of the plows.

That’s right, people can do whatever they want so what were you complaining about? So why don’t you STFU?

Willard, you’re starting to sound like Cranky. Why don’t you just STFU?
A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
Meh.
I use to work in an office. People are idiots. Just get use to it. I’m from New Brunswick, the land of snow. I find it entertaining how much people panic here when the white stuff falls.
Glad I can walk to work.
Sure, stay til after 6 then the damn buses get pulled off the road and you’re stranded! Hey OB, not everyone drives a car…how about the next snow storm everyone take the bus and then there will be ZERO bottlenecks! Unbelievable how many people still drive to work by themselves, only person in a great big car then bitch about traffic and congestion….
Junebug,
I’m pretty sure OB is not talking about people taking the bus, which would not alter traffic patterns in the first place.
I was going to trash OB cause that’s the protocol here, but the post actually makes sense. Doubling the traffic load at any given time is a bad idea. When roads are shit, there’s no need to add to the problem. So I’m conflicted…

Halifax Transit bus stuck on the McDonald in a blizzard at supper hour…?
How long until the stranded passengers resort to cannibalism?
