To the man in a truck trying to turn onto Barrington Street today and called me a “dumb bitch” for crossing said street: please note that I blew you some kisses. I figured maybe some compassion would help you become a more patient man. That’s some dumb bitch logic for you. —Some Dumb Bitch

seb, you gotta stop blowing things, at people or otherwise.
Need more info. Where you at a cross walk? Did you cross at the right time? Was the little walking man symbol up or was it a flashing hand? What colour of light did he have? Red? Yellow? Green? Blue? Elaborate please.

Dumb bitch ….well if the shoe fits
I like your style…
mkegg you need to chill out.
drive slow and chill the kcuf out.
Sure lowcoaster… Thats why I have never had any tickets or convictions, because I am a bad driver. I am one of the few good ones that understand things like when a light turns green for me it also will give pedestrians the right of way so I have to patiently wait for them before I make a right. I have stopped for pedestrians in crosswalks and waited along with the pedestrian for the vehicles in the other lane to finally notice and stop. I give bikers a meter or more everytime, if that is not possible I wait until it is safe to do so. I slow down to 30 km/hr in posted school zones as others fly by my at 60 or more.
So you should never assume anything because it makes an ass out of you and… well actually it just makes an ass out of you.
Have a great day!
Yeah I never really got the “me” part of that saying either.
You may have been in his blind spot DB. He may have almost hit you.
“You may have been in his blind spot DB.”
Do you think that that is an acceptable excuse for the driver? Always check your blind spots, even for pedestrians and also those pesky cyclists too I guess.
Yup the kisses get them every time. I do it all the time to drivers who piss me off. It makes them madder because appareently I am not showing my frustration. Smooch, Smooch…… way to go op!!
