This is a super special bitch dedicated to two folks: the asshole who almost ran me over at the crosswalk, and the asshole landlord who judged me for how I look and assumed I was a pothead partier.
To the asshole driver: those two blinky lights above the big ‘crosswalk’ sign? They mean stop. You literally came within INCHES of hitting me. I know you know you were wrong—you pulled over immediately after it happened. I’m going to call and report you to the police—I got your fucking license plate number. I don’t know where you came from, but when I checked before I started to cross, you weren’t there, so you must have been going pretty fast. I hope you get your license taken away, fuckwad.
To the landlord: I do not, in fact, smoke weed. I don’t party, I don’t have people over at all hours of the night. I am almost 30. Telling me that as long as you don’t smell it you don’t care pretty much sealed the deal for me. I know I look young, but I’ve been living on my own for almost 10 years now. Also, trying to charge us an extra $50 because my boyfriend and I have a roommate? Bullshit. It’s a two-bedroom apartment. I’m sorry we don’t have kids, and I’m sorry you think we’ll have to shower an extra two times a day. You can keep your shitty-ass apartment. —Not a Druggie or a Pylon

Much like you, the guy who almost ran you down is probably having a bad day, because he almost ran someone down (something that might not happen on a daily basis for him).
Expecting cars to stop for you at crosswalks get you killed in this city. You’re responsible for your own safety.
If dude pulled over after it happened, well that’s pretty awesome, I’d give them some credit. Shit does happen.
You seem to be in need of a “chill pill” from the way your bitch reads.
Dude go back to bed…doesn’t sound like your having a day.
I once nearly drove into the side of a van, and then ran a red light RIGHT after it, and I was so freaked out that I fucked up that ridiculously twice in less than a minute, that I had to pull over at a gas station. I didn’t plan to do either thing intentionally. I had sworn there was no van in my sight when I pulled out, and then with the light thing, I was actually looking at a set of lights further ahead of me. I was tired, and I was stupid. But, I was just happy no one got hurt. I hope that doesn’t make me an asshole.
Since you don’t have hard facts or proof of speed, likely the driver will only get a warning. Plus the driver did not hit you, then they did stop, so the police are going to brush you off for wasting their time.
A crosswalk bitch and a landlord bitch all rolled into one. Oh happy day.
yawn.
maybe the two are related, in as much as you might be a pothead, and walks aimlessly in traffic. landlords, owners, business operators all take note of first meetings, if you look a bit off, they have every right to say no to you. if you are a partier, you risk damaging his/her property, and the laws these days, are pretty fucking lax, in getting you to pay, for said damages.look like you are going to a job interview next time, not like you just came off a two week drunk, or high.
First of all, if he pulled over and you report him your the asshole… At least they didnt speed off liek most, again you ass. Maybe you should smoke some weed and chill the fuck out.
As for the landlord, people make assumptions, thats life, he didnt reject you based on said assumptions so again, chill the fuck out.
If you’ve been living on your own for so long you need to acctually grow up to be taken seriously.
asshole pedestrians…
LS hit the nail on the head as well with the atire aspect. Oh and I doubt the landlord gives a shit your not applying… Just a hunch.
Dude, every commenter on here is an asshole. I’d be pissed.
What a stupid bitch.
What does someone who smokes marijuana “look” like? It seems it’s YOU that has the hang-up, you’re potential landlord said THIS:
“”Telling me that as long as you (the landlord) don’t smell it you don’t care…”
Which is a pretty good attitude for any landlord to take, IMO.
So you don’t smoke it yourself, so what? 5,000,000 other Canadians do, and they are as diverse a group as you’ll find anywhere…only YOU think they have a “certain look”…
Grow up.
Your landlord dodged a bullet here.
Furthermore, if you ARE almost thirty, it’s time to stop using “party” as a verb.
It’s a noun.
I agree with Crow’skid, I’d be pretty choked about almost getting run over, but that goes both ways. here in Victoria most pedestrians think that flashing red hand means ‘Come here’ especially the Ornamentals (Orientals), As far as the weed goes, most weed people are the best tenants. We have a puff, make a snack and go to bed. We do tend to watch Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall” too loud on occasion though. So don’t take all the asshole comments the wrong way, it’s just some people get a rush from being an anonymous on-line bully, the same people who wouldn’t say shit if they had a mouth full of it face to face…
