Drive thru road rage
12/13/2017 at 8:27 AM

To the “man” driving the vehicle thru McD’s on Victoria about an hour ago...
It is not my fault that you almost rear ended me when I turned off of Victoria. The potholes at that entrance are deep, some people prefer not to wreck vehicles. I then pulled over, completely out of the way, in the parking lot (so I wasn’t driving) to access my McD’s app. And there it began. Did it make you feel better to yell at me? No, my husband did not “give me my daily beating today”.
Your rant accusing me of texting (when I was showing the McD’s employee my phone coupon) was unbelievable! I really hope you don’t follow through on your threats as it was not my vehicle I was driving.
We all get frustrated with other drivers but you are over the top. Leaning out of your window to scream and scare people? Maybe someone needs to deal with anger issues?
The world is crazy enough.

Moments like that I love to smile and give a little wave or thumbs up.

Drive Thru Road Rage!
12/13/2017 at 9:25 AM

It's terrible that this happened while at a Mcdonalds Drive Thru. I know the exact area, & there's extremely deep potholes at that entrance. I understand not wanting to drive through them quickly, or you would wreck your vehicle. This inconsiderate waste of skin that ruined your day will one day meet his match. I hope someone possibly got a video of this unacceptable behavior. I don't understand the attitude of a lot of drivers in this city. It's not a big city, but some drivers take it so personally when you slow down for whatever reason. I even get the horn honked at me for stopping at a crosswalk for someone. It's a cruel world out there. Please be "Safe".

Rage people

They carry it with them where ever they go. They yell at other drivers. Yell at the kid at McD's. Yell at the post office. Yell at the grocery store, bank, liquor store, gas bar, everywhere.

They complain that the whole world hates them. So, they like to pre-empt the world, and go first.

I believe it is a very friendly world out there. I go into any and every situation trying to be the best person there. I get a heck of a lot more done, by being friendly, that anyone can achieve being angry.

I never send in complaint letters. I like to send in compliment letters.

I drive from Dauphin to Home Depot in Brandon for paint. More knowledge in one person than my whole town. So, I received absolutely over the top service from a young lady in paint at HD, so, I sent in a letter of compliment, which, they read out loud at their staff meeting.

I just sent in a letter to Superstore about a lady who helped me in Winnipeg. I needed gift cards and I am a male shopper. All stereotypes apply. She made the process very easy for me, and, a family with nothing, now has a Christmas because she helped me.

Sometimes, I feel like I am not doing enough to make up for the assholes of this world.

....the compliments TheScotsman......most retail workers only hear the complaints!
People need to slow down and enjoy life instead of hurrying to a early grave from stress!

I am sorry that you had to endure that. Shameful. I am also sorry for the man who's life will be cut short from putting his body through that! He has no idea how he is killing himself with that kind of rage.

Merry Christmas to you!

Don't let this

situation get you down or ruin your day. I come to Brandon every 5-7 years to see a medical specialist, and I have found the Brandon drivers to be very impatient - they're blowing the horn if your not moving the minute the traffic light turns green and your not racing through the intersection. The last couple times I have come to Brandon, I have dealt with these impatient drivers who blow their horn, swear at me or give me the bird, by smiling, waving back at them and even throwing them the occasional kiss. I make it a point not to get upset.

Brandon drivers are horrible
12/14/2017 at 6:13 PM

Just moved back to Brandon and can’t believe what a difference 10 years makes. Stop signs, speed zones, signal lights mean nothing. Even the city police don’t use theirs or stop at stop signs. No signal lights used when departing traffic circles and on and on. Just this past Tuesday morning at 9th and Aberdeen while 3 of us where stopped at the 4 way stop and young gentleman may have slowed to 40 Kim’s to drive thru the stop sign heading west. Amazing and the road rage, undeniably horrible. Everyone is in such a hurry and don’t get me started with tailgatiers.
Anyways, sorry for the jerk on Victoria Avenue at McDonalds, if your a regular driver in Brandon you have to be thick skinned and when you get the middle finger just pretend their saying your #1!! That’s the way it is in Brandon.
