To the wanker who nearly hit me in the crosswalk on Alderney Drive this afternoon: I really hope you were on your way to the hospital for an emergency. If you were, I can forgive you for your: a) distraction (my jacket is practically Day-Glo for gawd’s sake) and b) haste (when I stopped in the middle of the intersection to avoid being hit you took that as a cue to fail to yield to me a second time, turned in front of me and roared off). Like I said, I hope you were on your way to the hosipital otherwise you’ve just won Wednesday’s Biggest Wanker Award. Congratulaions.

I find the entire Alderney area quite bad, especially at Alderney and Ochterloney. I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s the fact that people want to speed ahead of the buses, or what, but all I know is at rush hour, crossing Alderney is like a giant game of Frogger.
maybe he was hurrying to get out of dartmouth…
it can be forgiven.
All those Uber important people with places to go…
it takes all kinds of shit heads to make a city,that was one of them.
Ever driven down the hill on Alderney in the morning, when the winter sun is rising? Say 8-9am when the commute is on? The sun is right in one’s eyes. Super dangerous. Crossing those streets, you can see the drivers squinting. Scary.
So it’s the sun’s fault. Boo the sun.
someone tell helios to hit the snooze button.
he’s fucking with the commute.
Alderney Drive is the perfect setup for Frogger. As this was in the afternoon, it wasn’t the sun, just a wanker, but I agree Andy, that morning sun down that hill is brutal.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA to zZz….
