To the girl who drives her bike around downtown halifax up the wrong side of the street, and then veers across into oncoming traffic WITHOUT EVEN TURNING YOUR FUCKING HEAD… you’re going to die. My friend missed running you over with a half ton truck by inches because of your deathwish. If I had been driving that truck your bike would be my new hood ornament.
To the guy whose forehead I almost kissed after you J walked across Quinpool Road right in front of me while I had 2 arms full of grocerys… If you can’t even walk without fucking it up I feel sorry for your family. Next time, you’re eating my groceries.
To the ENDLESS array of people walking down the sidewalk in groups 3 or 4 wide: I could give a shit how many of you there are, I STILL EXIST. Make room for me or I’ll bowl you over.

Did you read my mind or something. People in Halifax do not know how to walk. Either they form a soccer wall of people walking down the street or they don’t pay attention and you nearly run into them. I feel your pain buddy.
What I don’t get is the jaywalkers who choose to jaywalk 3 metres from a clearly marked cross walk- particularly when said crosswalk currently has the right of way, or did just moments before.Cars are heavy. they have momentum. stopping on a dime is tricky even in the middle of summer- don’t even get me started about icey winter fuckery with these idiots. glaring at me doesn’t help, and it certainly doesn’t make me want to pause an dlet you cross when you want to jaywalk, either!
Expereicned this today actually, why can’t your lazy ass walk to the crosswalk for everyones saftey. I’m always wondering where the hell these people are in such a hurry to go. And plus, bicyclers who use the flashing crosswalks, IT’S ILLEGAL. Use the road and stop holding up traffic.
I heartily agree about the walking wall. Make some fucking room you fat tourist fucks!!
