Rant/Rave: Week of Dec. 31

24/7 rush hour on Davie I wonder whose brilliant idea it was to ban right-hand turns on red lights at the intersection of Burrard and Davie streets? It completely impedes the flow of traffic on Davie Street – it's like a permanent traffic jam.

24/7 rush hour on Davie

I wonder whose brilliant idea it was to ban right-hand turns on red lights at the intersection of Burrard and Davie streets? It completely impedes the flow of traffic on Davie Street – it's like a permanent traffic jam. All because of the stupid bike lanes no doubt. Brilliant.

Maybe you’re just a jerk…

Re: “Where’s the Christmas spirit?”, Rant/Rave, Dec. 24, 2015.

Geckogirl, from your point of view, you think you are making the world a better place, but you are actually selfish in thinking that everyone should appreciate your loud music on the bus.

Not all of us are extroverts or having a good day like you had. Also, to defend people plugged-in: riding the bus is only tolerable sometimes when I'm plugged-in because I can't stand to hear some of the inane things judgmental people say or others people's music.

Ugh. So let me get this straight Geckogirl: You come home drunk from a night out at the douchiest bar in Vancouver, and start harassing other bus riders with your lousy music and you’re surprised when no one joins you in a sing-a-long?

I’m sure I’m not the first person to point this out to you, but you are a self-absorbed, obnoxious twit. It’s dickheads like you that make public transportation so excruciating, and are the reason why so many people can’t stand Christmas. Just because it’s late December doesn’t mean it’s suddenly OK to act like an inconsiderate asshole.

Here’s a hint: next time you’re on the bus, if you can’t figure out who the asshole is – it’s you!
