QUICKIE ROADSIDE™ – HALIFAX DIVISION
Proudly making the 103 look like a Mad Max sequel since last Thursday
We weren't called.
We don't care.
We're already blocking the left lane.
ENTER IF YOU WANT YOUR INSURANCE ADJUSTER TO KNOW YOUR NAME PERSONALLY
(warning: contains bagpipe remix of Sweet Caroline)
We arrive, park diagonally across four lanes, drop six pylons in a perfect zigzag, then scream "THIS IS MY SCENE NOW" at the real tow truck driver. Bonus: we take selfies with the wreckage.
Waving a broken broom handle, wearing a high-vis vest from 2007 that says "VOLUNTEER", yelling "GO GO GO NO NOT YOU SIR" at random Civics. We once caused a seven-car accordion trying to look official.
We're basically walking deductible multipliers. Insurance adjusters have us on speed dial… to swear at us. You're welcome for the premium hike, buddy.
Amber lights flashing, no blinker, 110 km/h from the on-ramp into stopped traffic. We don't just merge — we assert dominance. Many new pile-ups have been named after us.
No training, no certs, no clue — but 47 likes on our post about "how real first responders do it wrong". That makes us experts.
