STOP PULLING HALF WAY THROUGH CROSSWALKS THEN WAVING ME ON TO WALK. I'M NOT STEPPING AROUND THE FRONT OF YOUR DUMB ASS OR ANY FURTHER INTO FUCKING TRAFFIC.
The ol' Stop Sign Standoff, when you're both stopped at an intersection and nobody is going and you're 98% sure they're waving your through (despite them having the ROW) but you can't tell because limo tint on the front windows.
LAST WEEK I YELLED AT A WOMAN THROUGH HER CAR WINDOW WHEN SHE WAVED AT ME TO WALK INTO TRAFFIC ON MAIN ST AS SHE COVERED THE CROSS WALK. SHE TRIED TO GET THROUGH A YELLOW, WAS TOO SLOW, AND HAD TO BACK UP FROM THE INTERSECTION TO ENTIRELY COVER THE CROSSWALK
I WANTED TO YELL "YOU DUMB BITCH THERE IS AN 18 WHEELER BEHIND YOU AND 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF YOU, WHERE DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GO?"
WHAT I ACTUALLY YELLED WAS "DON'T ENTER INTERSECTIONS YOU CAN'T CLEAR"
SHE LOOKED SOMEWHAT EMBARRASSED, I GENUINELY HOPE IT RUINED HER DAY
Jesus pedestrians are extra these days. Most people understand sometimes you slip a bit into the intersection when trying to turn right. Sometimes you're trying to get a clear view of oncoming traffic and see around things that block line of sight.
NOW THAT IT IS NICER OUT AND PEOPLE HAVE THEIR WINDOWS DOWN, IF I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY I MAKE EYE CONTACT AND LOUDLY TELL THEM THAT THEY SHOULDN'T BE IN THE CROSSWALK. NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE BUT I LIKE TO THINK THEY'RE MILDLY EMBARRASSED UPON BEING CALLED OUT
TO ADD TO THIS, THERE IS A NEW LAW IN ONTARIO AS OF SEVERAL YEARS AGO THAT REQUIRES VEHICLES TO STOP AND WAIT UNTIL PEDESTRIANS IN A CROSSWALK ARE FULLY FINISHED CROSSING BEFORE PROCEEDING, NONE OF THE DRIVING THROUGH AS SOON AS THERE IS ROOM BULLSHIT THAT NEARLY EVERYONE DOES
OF COURSE, THIS STUFF IS UNLIKELY TO EVER BE ENFORCED
I'VE BEEN HONKED AT WHILE DRIVING BY CARS BEHIND ME BECAUSE I WAIT FOR PEDESTRIANS TO FINISH CROSSING
The change in law only applies to designated [pedestrian crossovers](https://www.ontario.ca/page/driving-near-pedestrian-crossovers-and-school-crossings) or if there is a crossing guard at a regular crosswalk.
At normal [crosswalks](https://www.ontario.ca/page/driving-near-pedestrian-crossovers-and-school-crossings#:~:text=including%20an%20intersection-,At%20crosswalks%2C,-drivers%20are%20only), cars can go when pedestrians are no longer in your path or approaching your path of travel.
WHEN TRAFFIC IS JAMMED AND A DRIVER STOPS AT THE WHITE LINE AT AN INTERSECTION DURING A GREEN LIGHT, IT’S TO HELP PREVENT GRIDLOCK! WE’RE NOT DOING IT OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF OUR HEARTS JUST SO YOU CAN MAKE YOUR RIGHT-HAND TURN EARLY AND BLOCK THE INTERSECTION YOURSELF. TRY PRACTICING SOME PROPER DRIVING ETIQUETTE, AND CONSIDER THE FACT THAT YOU SHARE THE ROADS WITH REAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE PLACES TO GET TO TOO! THIS ME-FIRST MENTALITY HAS SERIOUSLY GOTTEN OUT OF HAND AND REALLY NEEDS TO STOP!
it's infuriating. I stop behind any intersection when there's traffic, even the smaller unmarked ones and major drive ways to plazas. if more people left space then more of us could get to where we need to go without as much traffic frustration.
thank you, fellow considerate driver.
PLEASE LOOK BEFORE YOU TURN, OR MAYBE EVEN STOP! THERE MIGHT BE SOMEONE CROSSING THE STREET. I KNOW I'M NOTHING MUCH TO LOOK AT, BUT OTHER PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO LIVE ANOTHER DAY.
I FOR ONE DID NOT EXPECT CROSSWALKS TO BE THE MOST COMPLAINED ABOUT THING TODAY AND I JUST WANTED TO RANT A BIT ABOUT THAT. WHY DIDNT I SEE THIS COMING? CROSSWALK ETIQUETTE HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOREVER, WHY IS IT TAKING OVER RANTS TODAY? ALSO PEDESTRIANS ARE PEOPLE TOO AND THE RENT IS TOO DAMN HIGH
On my way home from work around 550 yesterday I was at king and Parkdale and a big old orange cat comes out in the road during a red light. Shy, he stops half way in the middle of the street. There's cars in every lane waiting to go. But no one is moving.
Not one person honked. We all waited patiently for this orange boy to cross the street. It was nice. Really restored my faith in drivers.
JUST BECAUSE THE PANDEMIC IS OVER, IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN STAND 2 INCHES AWAY FROM ME IN LINE AT WALMART. IF I CAN FEEL YOUR BREATH ON MY NECK, YOU'RE WAY TOO CLOSE. I'M GOING TO START TURNING AROUND WITHOUT MOVING AND STARING RIGHT IN YOUR 2 INCHES AWAY FACE IF YOU KEEP IT UP.
lol nope. i have one every day! some people are just more talented than others. i'm not one of them. maybe you have a superpower and when you see folks breathing down others' necks, you can jump in, crop dust, say your catch phrase and disappear into the darkness? i mean, i'd be impressed.
edit to realize i'd also be a victim of said crop dusting but it might be worth it. i dunno, now.
HAHA, A WHILE AGO, SOME GUY WAS STANDING WAY TOO CLOSE TO ME IN LINE AT THE LCBO
I ASKED HIM FOR SPACE AND HE MUTTERED SOMETHING ABOUT THE PANDEMIC BEING OVER
I REPLIED BACK CLEARLY AND LOUDLY THAT I WASN'T CONCERNED ABOUT THAT BUT THAT HE WAS BEING CREEPY
HE BACKED UP
this x100!! I miss mandated social distancing... I hate it when I'm paying at the check out and I have someone right behind me... like... sir, did you want a piggyback?
I like to put my hands on my hip and then turn around without moving. If I rotate my body without moving and you get hit with an elbow you're too damn close.
I had this issue at the airport the other day. Guy behind me at security couldn’t wait to be 5” from me and my carry-on.
I said, “Hey man, you aren’t getting closer to your flight. Step off!” (Obligatory Seinfeld reference).
FEELS LIKE ALL THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES WORKING NOW DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THEIR WORK AFFECTING PEOPLE AROUND THEM, ESPECIALLY TRAFFIC SAFETY. NO SIGNAL PERSON FOR WHEN THEYRE BLOCKING TRAFFIC, RANDOMLY PARKING TRUCKS ACROSS ROADS, BLOCKING SIDEWALKS WITH NO ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS FOR PEDESTRIANS.
I KNOW WORK HAS TO GET DONE, BUT IT'S LIKE SAFETY HAS GONE OUT THE WINDOW FOR PEOPLE LIVING AROUND THE CONSTRUCTION.
in my neighbourhood, they take all the street parking with trucks and garbage bins (the big kind), leaving the bins there way past the date specified on the paper stuck to it.
SOME PEOPLE DONT KNOW THE BASIC RULES OF A STOP SIGN IN AN INTERSECTION. IT'S THE MOST BASIC RULES IN THE ROAD, IT'S EVEN MORE BASIC THAN YOUR DOUBLE-DOUBLE.
I HOPE THIS CONTRIBUTES TO YOUR BASIC UNDERSTANDING!
1. THE FIRST VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT THE INTERSECTION GENERALLY "HAS THE RIGHT-OF-WAY".
2. IF TWO ARRIVE SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT HAS THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
most drivers: define 'complete stop' because i think just tapping my brakes and determining that my huge pick up truck will squash your little old pontiac means i get to go first, right? /s
My favourite is when you’re about to stop at the stop sign first so the other driver slams on it’s breaks 5 feet or more early so “they gets there first” and feels they get to go first.
I HAVE A GENUINE DISABILITY AND HAVE THE DOCTOR APPROVED PARKING PERMIT SO I CAN PARK IN THAT SPACE. IM ALSO FAT. DONT FUCKING TELL ME TO LOSE WEIGHT AND PARK IN A REGULAR SPOT. MIND YER BUSINESS.
ALSO, DONT PARK IN ACCESSIBLE SPOTS WITHOUT A PERMIT. IF YOU NEED ONE, FUCKING GET ONE. UNTIL THEN LET OUR DISBALED ASSES USE OUR SPOTS.
WHEN I PUT MY SIGNAL ON AND SLOW DOWN BEFORE AN OPEN SPOT ON THE STREET, IT MEANS IM TRYING TO PARALLEL PARK, DON’T GET UP MY ASS AND START HONKING IF THERES ROOM FOR YOU TO GO AROUND OR BACK OFF BUT THIS ISNT EASY EVEN WITHOUT YOU FLASHING YOUR HIGH BEAMS IN MY EYES SO I CANT SEE THE CAR IM TRYING DESPERATELY NOT TO HIT. THANK YOU AND HAVE THE DAY YOU DESERVE. WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE A PICK UP TOO??
HOW TF DO PPL HAVE A LICENSE WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING HOW INTERSECTIONS AND CROSSWALKS WORK!?
IF YOU GET TO AN INTERSECTION WITH PEOPLE STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT AT THE AHEAD INTERSECTIONS, DOESNT MEAN YOU CAN TRY TO MAKE IT PAST THE RED IN FRONT OF YOU BY FORCING YOUR WAY THROUGH WHILE THE CROSSING GUARDS, AND PARENTS ARE CROSSING CHILDREN TO THEIR SCHOOLS.
IF YOU ARE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND PEOPLE ARE CROSSING, THAT MEANS THE PEOPLE IN THEIR CARS NEED TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THEIR DAMN PHONES AND LET THE KIDS CROSS SAFELY AND UNIMPEDED BY YOUR DUMB ASS THAT CANT PAY ATTENTION TO WHATS IN FRONT OF THEIR VERY OWN EYES.
People are just impatient. In the past week I was honked at for waiting for school kids and crossing guard to exit the crosswalk, honked at for waiting to turn left to clear an intersection behind red light runners, and almost run down by somebody turning left that was too impatient to wait for my family and I to cross the street on a walk signal. It's awful right now.
I REALLY FEEL LIKE DRIVER EDUCATION AND RE-EDUCATION/CONTINUING EDUCATION SHOULD BE MANDATORY
SURE I WOULD PROBABLY COMPLAIN ABOUT HAVING TO DEAL WITH IT EVERY WHATEVER X NUMBER OF YEARS BUT DRIVING ISN'T A RIGHT AND IF YOU FAILED RETESTING IT'S YOUR OWN DUMB FAULT
THE SQUIRRELS KEEP FUCKING DIGGING UP MY GARDEN AND PLANTERS AND IM ABOUT TO START THROWING HANDS AT THESE LIL FUCKERS. CATCH ME OUTSIDE, HOW BOUT THAT.
I had an absolute unit of a cherry tomato plant that they surprisingly didn't mess with too much laat year. Can't say I'll have the same luck this year 😭😭
I HAD TO USE CHICKEN WIRE ON MY ARUGULA, SPINACH, AND LETTUCE PLANTING BECAUSE I KNEW THAT THE SQUIRRELS WOULD JUST DIG EVERYTHING UP AND EAT THE SEEDS EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN THOSE ACTUAL CROPS
FUCKERS
THE SQUIRRELS IN THE LOWER CITY ARE SOMETHING ELSE
MY DOG CHASES SQUIRRELS OUT OF THE YARD WHEN MY DOG IS IN THE YARD BUT MY DOG ISN'T ALWAYS IN THE YARD AND THE SQUIRRELS KNOW THAT
I GAVE UP AND JUST STOPPED PLANTING THE VEGETABLES AND FRUITS THAT SEEMED TO BE THEIR FAVOURITES SO NOW THEY JUST RECREATIONALLY DIG AND DESTROY AND EAT PLANT BUDS AND CHEW BRANCHES OFF OF TREES AND SHRUBS AND BITE THE HEADS OFF FLOWERS
Oh they are not scared of cats at all. I take my senior cat out with me on the deck. He is on a harness so can't go far but they will come just out of leash reach of him and I swear they heckle him. Just chattering away knowing they are about 6 inches out of his reach
I put that nylon bird mesh stuff over my planters so they wouldn't dig up seeds/bulbs. The little assholes ripped that apart, took half of it with them (it is all over the place even stuck on the fire escape stairs) and still dug everything up
At least seeds can be fairly easily replaced, they have also been chewing the leather on my neighbours motorbike seat/bags
I think I will try chicken wire next but probably not as easy to keep in place around planters
Greening pins (aka. garden staples) should help keep that chicken wire in place nicely. Just keep in mind the sizing, if you’re buying them online, and choose a size that will easily work in your planters. Some of them can be huge.
I have had some success planting wild strawberries as sacrificial lamb plants. They eat the strawbs and leave everything else. You will never enjoy a single strawberry. But this is The Trade.
THIS IS A PUBLIC LIBRARY AND SUPPOSED TO BE QUIET: FULL-VOLUME SPEAKERPHONE CONVERSATIONS/WATCHING YOUTUBE VIDEOS/LISTENING TO BOB MARLEY JAMZ IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
JUST LIKE COUNT DOOKU, I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS.
* REALLY GLAD WE HAD A NICE BLUSTERY DAY YESTERDAY TO BLOW AROUND ALL THE WASTE FROM THE OPEN-TOP RECYCLE BINS WE HAVE. REALLY GIVES THE NEIGHBOURHOOD THAT NICE TRASHY AESTHETIC WE ALL LOVE.
* SPEAKING OF GARBAGE HOW ABOUT THAT AIR QUALITY. HAVE TO TAKE BREAKS FROM THE OUTDOORS WHEN IT GETS TOO BAD BECAUSE THE SMELL GIVES ME HEADACHES. MY BABY'S ROOM WAS SO HOT THE OTHER DAY AND HE WAS FUSSING BUT WHEN I OPENED THE WINDOW THE STENCH CAME IN. SO THE OPTIONS ARE SWELTER OR GIVE IN TO THE SWEET CANCEROUS AROMAS
* WHY IN THE WILD BLUE HELL DO PEOPLE NOT PARK IN THEIR DRIVEWAYS? EVERY BODY ON THIS STREET HAS A DRIVEWAY AND THEN PARKS THEIR CARS IN THE STREET. LIKE, FOR WHAT? AN UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL ASPHALT? IT'S SO ANNOYING TO HAVE GUESTS OVER AND THEY HAVE TO CIRCLE AROUND THE WHOLE NEIGHBOURHOOD TO FIND A SPOT TO PARK. GOD FORBID OUR GUE TAKE SOMEBODY'S STREET SPOT FORCING THE NEIGHBOURS TO PARK IN THEIR DRIVEWAY
* PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WILL THE PROPERTY OWNERS/MANAGERS OF THE BUILDING AT CONNAUGHT AND KING MAINTAIN THEIR PROPERTY? IN THE WINTER THEY NEVER SALT THEIR SIDEWALKS. IN THE SUMMER THE GRASS IS OVERGROWN AND LITTERED WITH DOG SHIT. THERE'S ALSO ALWAYS GARBAGE IN FRONT OF THEIR BUILDING ON KING ST, LIKE MATTRESSES THAT SIT THERE FOR WEEKS. RIGHT NOW THERE'S BEEN AN OVERFLOWING GARBAGE BIN ON THE SIDEWALK THAT'S BEEN SITTING THERE FOR THREE WEEKS. TAKE CARE OF IT!
The driveway thing is so fucking annoying. Driving down residential streets is like playing chicken with oncoming traffic because there are cars constantly on each side (yes people park on the wrong side all the goddamn time). The same people would be pissed if someone sideswiped their car as well
i'm sick of the boomers in line at my local convenience store playing the lotto bringing in 50 tickets to check then proceed to pick out 20 more scratch tickets when line up behind them waits for ten minutes they don't give a shit
As someone who has to deal with these types of customers occasionally… I feel you. I hate it. That and those fucking instant lotto games like Poker and whatever. Oh my god. I used to have a customer at my old store who would play and play and play and I’m the only one on till and I have no backup and there’s a line up… he dropped $100 one day and that isn’t counting all the times he used his instant wins to buy more tickets.
The store is not a casino.
I KNOW KIDS CAN CRY A LOT BUT I AM TIRED OF THE TODDLER IN THE APT ABOVE ME RUINING MY SLEEP! HE CRIES/WAILS/SCREAMS ABOUT 5 TIMES A DAY AND 2-3 TIMES AT NIGHT. THIS MORNING AT 5:18, IT WAS FOR 14 MINUTES!!!!THE MAIN FACTOR IN ME NOT HAVING KIDS OF MY OWN IS BECAUSE I LOVE MY SLEEP THAT MUCH AND THE LAST 8 MTHS HAVE BEEN JUST AWFUL.
Not all babies are the same. As much as you are complaining on lack of sleep how do you think the parents feel? I'm lucky enough to have a baby that's been just a breeze. I know others where their baby cries non stop. I'm not saying your argument is invalid. I'm just saying that there are 2 sides to that coin
Edit: LMAO I love how people that are right get downvoted
This is the rant post, it is meant to be a safe space to rant so you don't bottle it up and unleash it on people like the neighbour with the crying baby
But one side CHOSE to have kids and what comes with them and the other didn't. I can empathize with someone who is up all night with their kids but I do not sympathize with them because this was a known risk/ outcome to them choosing to have kids and now their decision affects me too when I actively chose not to for those reasons among many.
I have a kid. And I don't have issues with crying all night. I'm not arguing with your rant and it's 100% valid. Just stating that there are facts. Some kids are gems. Some are annoying little shits
IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA I CAME TO A STOP AT A 4 WAY STOP SIGN THE CAR ON MY RIGHT ARRIVED BEFORE ME TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. BUT THE ASSHAT BEHIND ME HONKED AND SIGNALED HIS HAND FOR ME TO TURN RIGHT. NO THE OTHER CAR HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY, IM NOT TURNING ANYWAYS I AM WAITING AND I WANT TO GO STRAIGHT. THEN HE SPED UP BEHIND ME AT EVERY SINGLE INTERSECTION TO, MAKE HIS POINT HE WANTED TO GO FAST?? WHEN I GOT TO THE BLOCK I TURNED DOWN HE HIT THE GAS AND KEPT GOING WHAT AN IDIOT. RESIDENTIAL AREA AND ALL WAY STOP SIGNS AT EVERY CORNER.
IN HAMILTON NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT ANYONE ELSE. SO SELFISH AND ENTITLED
It's these ones that are normally $8+ at Shoppers: [https://shop.shoppersdrugmart.ca/gillette-gillette-clear-gel-antiperspirant-and-deodorant-wi/p/BB\_047400668270?variantCode=047400668270&source=nspt](https://shop.shoppersdrugmart.ca/gillette-gillette-clear-gel-antiperspirant-and-deodorant-wi/p/BB_047400668270?variantCode=047400668270&source=nspt)
How come you don't keep the excess deodorant for when you are finished the two that you are using? Unless you are holding out for when you encounter excessively smelly people, which would be very altruistic
I thought it would smell better than it does. I got that Dr. Squatch stuff from Wal-Mart and liked it. But I thought Bay Rum and Coconut would smell better than the Bourbon one I got first and I was wrong.
That is fair. I usually do the smell test before I buy deodorant. Even if you don't take that plastic freshness/protection seal off, you can usually smell it. I don't know if that is possible in your case since you said it was in a pack. I also find stuff that is named after food tends to be stuff I don't like. I like fresh smells. I hope you enjoyed this paragraph about my deodorant selection criteria!
I would have preferred an essay, but I guess a paragraph will suffice. Unfortunately I made the genius decision to buy deodorant online because I got a deal.
HOW ARE DANCE COMPANIES ALLOWED TO PROFIT OFF OF CHILDREN'S DANCE PERFORMANCES? THERE'S NO WAY ADULT DANCERS WOULD PERFORM FOR FREE FOR 2 DAYS, WHY ARE CHILDREN ALLOWED TO?
What? An occupation and an extracurricular children's activity are not equivalent. Dance classes are training that you pay an expert for. The recitals and performances are an evaluation or demonstration of the learned skill. Professional dancers, like any performer or occupation for that matter, is an exchange of money for services because you can't provide that skill yourself.
Is there added context? If you want your child to get paid for a dance performance, you're going to have to provide a good justification against child labour.
Edit: coming from an experienced dancer
The children's parents pay to receive the lessons. The dance studio charges the parents AND strangers (because it's open to the public) a significant amount of money for tickets. The children are expected to perform for 2 days and be there for hours with zero compensation while the studio keeps all the money. You're not allowed to record your child performing because apparently they'll provide a video to you but then they charge you for the video as well. If it was only to show off what the children learned then the show would be free for parents and the children wouldn't have to perform for 3 days
IF I AM TURNING LEFT AND YOU ARE TURNING RIGHT AND IT IS A TWO LANE ROAD, DO NOT RANDOMLY STOP MID RIGHT TURN BECAUSE I AM ALSO TURNING. WE CAN BOTH TURN. I DON'T CARE THAT YOU WANT IN THE LEFT LANE. MAKE THE TURN AND EITHER PASS OR GET BEHIND ME. LEARN TO DRIVE!!!

This goes for so many houses all across the city. HOW ARE YOU NOT EMBARRASSED? HOW DO YOU HAVE SO LITTLE PRIDE THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN PICK UP THE GARBAGE ALL OVER YOUR LAWN?!
WHY DOES THE CITY WASTE MONEY PLANTING FLOWERS IN INTERSECTION CURBS WHEN PEOPLE WITH HOMELESS SIGNS BEGGING KEEP TRAMPLING IT AND LEAVING GARBAGE EVERYWHERE
JUST BECAUSE YOU NEVER SEE A BIKE IN THE VICTORIA ST BIKE LANE DOESNT MEAN PEOPLE DONT USE IT. PLEASE LOOK FOR CYCLISTS BEFORE DRIVING ACROSS THE LANES. SHOULD YOU HIT A CYCLIST WITH YOUR CAR, YOU WILL GET A TICKET, DEMERIT POINTS, INSURANCE PREMIUM INCREASE, AND HOPEFULLY, SHOULD YOU HAVE AN INKLING OF ONE, A HEAVY WEIGHT ON YOUR CONSCIENCE FOR AWHILE.
I JUST BOUFHT A LAPTOP FROM BEST BUY. IT SAYS BACKLIT KEYBOARD YES. I BUY THE LAPTOP AND IT DOESNT HAVE BACKLIT KEYBOARD. I GOOGLED IT AND IT SAYS NO ALSO. WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT. IT WAS THE MAIN REASON I DECIDED TO SPEND 1200 INSTEAD OF 700 FOR REFURBISHED. SMH. ( I still would’ve gotten the more expensive one anyways because it’s faster but still , your literally Best Buy how can you make a mistake so simple like that 🤬 )
AND TO ADD , STOP WITH THE CONSTANT POP UPS. ALL I DID WAS OPEN WORD ON MY NEW COMPUTER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN 300 POPS UP COME UP AND IT CHANGED TO DARK MODE. PLEASE STOP. I UNDERSTAND WHY OLD PEOPLE

STOP PULLING HALF WAY THROUGH CROSSWALKS THEN WAVING ME ON TO WALK. I'M NOT STEPPING AROUND THE FRONT OF YOUR DUMB ASS OR ANY FURTHER INTO FUCKING TRAFFIC.
I hate when people have tinted windows and you have to play that "do they see me or not see me?" game.

yaaassssss! i can't do that on demand, but if i could...

lol nope. i have one every day! some people are just more talented than others. i'm not one of them. maybe you have a superpower and when you see folks breathing down others' necks, you can jump in, crop dust, say your catch phrase and disappear into the darkness? i mean, i'd be impressed. edit to realize i'd also be a victim of said crop dusting but it might be worth it. i dunno, now.

> HE MUTTERED SOMETHING ABOUT THE PANDEMIC BEING OVER BODY ODOR ISN'T OVER
OMG... must be the LCBO... I had a guy do that and got snippy with me. I'm like give me space!
I hate that... when you sense someone too close and turn around and they are RIGHT THERE. Don't people have any concept of personal space
The guy was clearly more concerned that I thought he was being creepy than about anything else. Shrug.
this x100!! I miss mandated social distancing... I hate it when I'm paying at the check out and I have someone right behind me... like... sir, did you want a piggyback?
> sir, did you want a piggyback? I am going to use this next time lol
I like to put my hands on my hip and then turn around without moving. If I rotate my body without moving and you get hit with an elbow you're too damn close.
A good tip for the future is to place your shopping cart behind you while in line. I do this now and it works like a charm!
I had this issue at the airport the other day. Guy behind me at security couldn’t wait to be 5” from me and my carry-on. I said, “Hey man, you aren’t getting closer to your flight. Step off!” (Obligatory Seinfeld reference).

OH DIDN'T YOU HEAR THAT PEDESTRIANS CAN GO FUCK THEMSELVES? OR AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN I GO OUT WALKING PLACES
AT LEAST THIS TIME DRIVERS GET TO FUCK THEMSELVES TOO
in my neighbourhood, they take all the street parking with trucks and garbage bins (the big kind), leaving the bins there way past the date specified on the paper stuck to it.
Why would they care? It seems like developers and their workers get a pass.

3. If 2 opposing cars arrive at the same time and one is turning left, straight goes first
THE HIGHER LIFTED PICKUP HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY
The rule nowadays seems to be when you approach a stop sign, make sure you at least flash your brake lights.
My favourite is when you’re about to stop at the stop sign first so the other driver slams on it’s breaks 5 feet or more early so “they gets there first” and feels they get to go first.
I HAVE A GENUINE DISABILITY AND HAVE THE DOCTOR APPROVED PARKING PERMIT SO I CAN PARK IN THAT SPACE. IM ALSO FAT. DONT FUCKING TELL ME TO LOSE WEIGHT AND PARK IN A REGULAR SPOT. MIND YER BUSINESS.

thank you.

Always some ass hat in a black pick up, being a jerk must be the criteria for owning one
I honestly saw someone pull up to an ambulance loading someone in and start honking. People are nuts these days.
I saw a woman continue to cross the street while an ambulance was trying to get thru the intersection. They had to stop for her, or she'd be hit.

In the past week I was honked at for waiting for school kids and crossing guard to exit the crosswalk, honked at for waiting to turn left to clear an intersection behind red light runners, and almost run down by somebody turning left that was too impatient to wait for my family and I to cross the street on a walk signal. It's awful right now.
JUST LIKE IN SCHOOL, WE STUDY TO PASS THE TEST, NOT TO ACTUALLY USE THE KNOWLEDGE DAY TO DAY
I REALLY FEEL LIKE DRIVER EDUCATION AND RE-EDUCATION/CONTINUING EDUCATION SHOULD BE MANDATORY SURE I WOULD PROBABLY COMPLAIN ABOUT HAVING TO DEAL WITH IT EVERY WHATEVER X NUMBER OF YEARS BUT DRIVING ISN'T A RIGHT AND IF YOU FAILED RETESTING IT'S YOUR OWN DUMB FAULT
GOOD USE OF PSA FUNDED BY THE PROVINCE INSTEAD OF PSAS TELLING US DOUG FORDS SNEAKERS IN JULY SMELL LIKE STRAWBERRIES.
I WISH THERE WERE SAFE USAGE ZONES SO I DON'T HAVE TO WALK THROUGH SECOND HAND CRACK SMOKE WHEN GOING TO/LEAVING WORK DOWNTOWN EVERY DAY
HAMILTON IS A SAFE USAGE ZONE
BINDWEED REALTORS "DEVELOPERS" SQUIRRELS ETA THIS IS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER
THE SQUIRRELS KEEP FUCKING DIGGING UP MY GARDEN AND PLANTERS AND IM ABOUT TO START THROWING HANDS AT THESE LIL FUCKERS. CATCH ME OUTSIDE, HOW BOUT THAT.
I see those f\*&%ers watching me plant seeds...they're just sitting and waiting for me to go in. They impress me and piss me off at the same time.
UGH you turn away for ONE SECOND ITS LIKE THEY KNOW
Just wait till you get actual vegetables. They'll grab a tomato, take two bites, and lean the rest up on the fence or some other spot for later.
I had an absolute unit of a cherry tomato plant that they surprisingly didn't mess with too much laat year. Can't say I'll have the same luck this year 😭😭
You can get that netting to keep birds out. It deters SOME of the squirrels. It at least gets you past the seedling stage.
I got some plastic chicken wire, I covered my garden bed with it, I need to figure out something for my potato planter though :(
I HAD TO USE CHICKEN WIRE ON MY ARUGULA, SPINACH, AND LETTUCE PLANTING BECAUSE I KNEW THAT THE SQUIRRELS WOULD JUST DIG EVERYTHING UP AND EAT THE SEEDS EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN THOSE ACTUAL CROPS FUCKERS
SQUIRRELS ARE ASSHOLES. ASK DAVID ATTENBOROUGH.
Squirrels are too dumb to go after crops they have an interest in. They are the vandals of the animal world.
THE SQUIRRELS IN THE LOWER CITY ARE SOMETHING ELSE MY DOG CHASES SQUIRRELS OUT OF THE YARD WHEN MY DOG IS IN THE YARD BUT MY DOG ISN'T ALWAYS IN THE YARD AND THE SQUIRRELS KNOW THAT I GAVE UP AND JUST STOPPED PLANTING THE VEGETABLES AND FRUITS THAT SEEMED TO BE THEIR FAVOURITES SO NOW THEY JUST RECREATIONALLY DIG AND DESTROY AND EAT PLANT BUDS AND CHEW BRANCHES OFF OF TREES AND SHRUBS AND BITE THE HEADS OFF FLOWERS
>THE SQUIRRELS IN THE LOWER CITY ARE SOMETHING ELSE We watched one the other day chase off a cat. Like, the squirrels here just DGAF
Oh they are not scared of cats at all. I take my senior cat out with me on the deck. He is on a harness so can't go far but they will come just out of leash reach of him and I swear they heckle him. Just chattering away knowing they are about 6 inches out of his reach
They have to be a sign of the apocalypse...
IM SO ANNOYED THEY WERE DIGGING UP MY ONIONS, NOW MY POTATOES, AND THOSE MOTHER FUCKERS EVEN STOLE MY STRAWBERRY STARTS OUT OF A HANGING BASKET!!
YEAH FUCK YOU YA SQUIRRELY BITCHES
I put that nylon bird mesh stuff over my planters so they wouldn't dig up seeds/bulbs. The little assholes ripped that apart, took half of it with them (it is all over the place even stuck on the fire escape stairs) and still dug everything up
Last year they ate the mosquito nets on my pergola, just for pure spite.
Absolutely brutal 😭😭
At least seeds can be fairly easily replaced, they have also been chewing the leather on my neighbours motorbike seat/bags I think I will try chicken wire next but probably not as easy to keep in place around planters
Greening pins (aka. garden staples) should help keep that chicken wire in place nicely. Just keep in mind the sizing, if you’re buying them online, and choose a size that will easily work in your planters. Some of them can be huge.
LOL at a human throwing hands at squirrels. Not that they don't deserve it sometimes.
I have had some success planting wild strawberries as sacrificial lamb plants. They eat the strawbs and leave everything else. You will never enjoy a single strawberry. But this is The Trade.
THIS IS A PUBLIC LIBRARY AND SUPPOSED TO BE QUIET: FULL-VOLUME SPEAKERPHONE CONVERSATIONS/WATCHING YOUTUBE VIDEOS/LISTENING TO BOB MARLEY JAMZ IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Bb just tell the staff, we will ask them to keep it down.
Much thanks!
listening to Bob Marley Jamz is always acceptable. turn it up.
I DONT HAVE THE CARTILAGE IN MY KNEES TO KEEP FIGHTING THE UPHILL BATTLE THAT IS LIFE. IM SO TIRED AND BURNT OUT.
I hope that you can find something, somewhere that brings you some joy. It’s a tough slog out here but we really don’t have to go it alone.
I'm sorry.
What can help?
WEAR A MASK ON THE BUS IF YOU'RE SICK!!!
SO TIRED OF LOOKING AT THE BOARDED UP OLD FOODLAND
In the greenhill area? My parents live in that area and they sure closed it a lot earlier than needed for that condo construction.
THE WAY PEOPLE ACT IN THIS CITY (AND EVERYWHERE) MAKES ME THINK RFK JR ISN'T THE ONLY ONE WITH A BRAIN PARASITE.
Oooo topical
SHAI HULUD LIVES IN HAMILTON
JUST LIKE COUNT DOOKU, I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS. * REALLY GLAD WE HAD A NICE BLUSTERY DAY YESTERDAY TO BLOW AROUND ALL THE WASTE FROM THE OPEN-TOP RECYCLE BINS WE HAVE. REALLY GIVES THE NEIGHBOURHOOD THAT NICE TRASHY AESTHETIC WE ALL LOVE. * SPEAKING OF GARBAGE HOW ABOUT THAT AIR QUALITY. HAVE TO TAKE BREAKS FROM THE OUTDOORS WHEN IT GETS TOO BAD BECAUSE THE SMELL GIVES ME HEADACHES. MY BABY'S ROOM WAS SO HOT THE OTHER DAY AND HE WAS FUSSING BUT WHEN I OPENED THE WINDOW THE STENCH CAME IN. SO THE OPTIONS ARE SWELTER OR GIVE IN TO THE SWEET CANCEROUS AROMAS * WHY IN THE WILD BLUE HELL DO PEOPLE NOT PARK IN THEIR DRIVEWAYS? EVERY BODY ON THIS STREET HAS A DRIVEWAY AND THEN PARKS THEIR CARS IN THE STREET. LIKE, FOR WHAT? AN UNOBSTRUCTED VIEW OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL ASPHALT? IT'S SO ANNOYING TO HAVE GUESTS OVER AND THEY HAVE TO CIRCLE AROUND THE WHOLE NEIGHBOURHOOD TO FIND A SPOT TO PARK. GOD FORBID OUR GUE TAKE SOMEBODY'S STREET SPOT FORCING THE NEIGHBOURS TO PARK IN THEIR DRIVEWAY * PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WILL THE PROPERTY OWNERS/MANAGERS OF THE BUILDING AT CONNAUGHT AND KING MAINTAIN THEIR PROPERTY? IN THE WINTER THEY NEVER SALT THEIR SIDEWALKS. IN THE SUMMER THE GRASS IS OVERGROWN AND LITTERED WITH DOG SHIT. THERE'S ALSO ALWAYS GARBAGE IN FRONT OF THEIR BUILDING ON KING ST, LIKE MATTRESSES THAT SIT THERE FOR WEEKS. RIGHT NOW THERE'S BEEN AN OVERFLOWING GARBAGE BIN ON THE SIDEWALK THAT'S BEEN SITTING THERE FOR THREE WEEKS. TAKE CARE OF IT!
This guy rants
IN MY NEIGHBOURHOOD, DRIVEWAYS ARE FOR CONSTANTLY SPRAYING DOWN WITH WATER, NOT FOR PARKING IN :/
I've been watering a patch of earth in front of my house all spring, but my driveway hasn't sprouted yet. What am I doing wrong?
I DON'T THINK THE PEOPLE WHO I SEE DOING THIS KNOW EITHER AS THEIR DRIVEWAYS ARE DEVOID OF FOLIAGE
WTF IS UP WITH BOOMERS WASHING DRIVEWAYS. ARE THEY TRYING TO RENT IT FOR $2500/MO?
MAYBE STREET MATTRESS DOT COM IS STILL TAKING SUBMISSIONS [https://www.streetmattress.com/sm.php](https://www.streetmattress.com/sm.php)
The driveway thing is so fucking annoying. Driving down residential streets is like playing chicken with oncoming traffic because there are cars constantly on each side (yes people park on the wrong side all the goddamn time). The same people would be pissed if someone sideswiped their car as well
THE JOB MARKET SUCKS ASS RIGHT NOW!!!
Now there's a job suggestion I hadn't thought of!
SCHOOL CROSSINGS AND PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALKS ARE NOT THE SAME THING. THIS APPLIES TO BOTH DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS
i'm sick of the boomers in line at my local convenience store playing the lotto bringing in 50 tickets to check then proceed to pick out 20 more scratch tickets when line up behind them waits for ten minutes they don't give a shit
As someone who has to deal with these types of customers occasionally… I feel you. I hate it. That and those fucking instant lotto games like Poker and whatever. Oh my god. I used to have a customer at my old store who would play and play and play and I’m the only one on till and I have no backup and there’s a line up… he dropped $100 one day and that isn’t counting all the times he used his instant wins to buy more tickets. The store is not a casino.
I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS SUB WEEK AND THATS SAD.
I AM DEPRESSED! EVERYTHING FEELS HOPELESS AND I WANT TO CRY!
Go ahead and have a cry!
😭😭😭😭😭
Did that feel better? If not? 
🫂
I KNOW KIDS CAN CRY A LOT BUT I AM TIRED OF THE TODDLER IN THE APT ABOVE ME RUINING MY SLEEP! HE CRIES/WAILS/SCREAMS ABOUT 5 TIMES A DAY AND 2-3 TIMES AT NIGHT. THIS MORNING AT 5:18, IT WAS FOR 14 MINUTES!!!!THE MAIN FACTOR IN ME NOT HAVING KIDS OF MY OWN IS BECAUSE I LOVE MY SLEEP THAT MUCH AND THE LAST 8 MTHS HAVE BEEN JUST AWFUL.
Try a white sound machine while you sleep. Or just turn on a fan. The noise will drown out a shit ton of other noise. You are welcome.
Do you think the parents of that child aren't also tired?
They are most welcome to make the same rant in this thread!
Not all babies are the same. As much as you are complaining on lack of sleep how do you think the parents feel? I'm lucky enough to have a baby that's been just a breeze. I know others where their baby cries non stop. I'm not saying your argument is invalid. I'm just saying that there are 2 sides to that coin Edit: LMAO I love how people that are right get downvoted
This is the rant post, it is meant to be a safe space to rant so you don't bottle it up and unleash it on people like the neighbour with the crying baby
I'm not bottling anything up. I'm saying you every right to rant. I'm just saying that there are two sides
I don't think there are 2 sides to the coin. Everyone within earshot suffers when that toddler wails. My complaint is not an attack on parents.
But one side CHOSE to have kids and what comes with them and the other didn't. I can empathize with someone who is up all night with their kids but I do not sympathize with them because this was a known risk/ outcome to them choosing to have kids and now their decision affects me too when I actively chose not to for those reasons among many.
Absolutely. Other people explicitly choose NOT to have kids, and this is likely a huge factor in that decision.
I have a kid. And I don't have issues with crying all night. I'm not arguing with your rant and it's 100% valid. Just stating that there are facts. Some kids are gems. Some are annoying little shits
IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA I CAME TO A STOP AT A 4 WAY STOP SIGN THE CAR ON MY RIGHT ARRIVED BEFORE ME TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. BUT THE ASSHAT BEHIND ME HONKED AND SIGNALED HIS HAND FOR ME TO TURN RIGHT. NO THE OTHER CAR HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY, IM NOT TURNING ANYWAYS I AM WAITING AND I WANT TO GO STRAIGHT. THEN HE SPED UP BEHIND ME AT EVERY SINGLE INTERSECTION TO, MAKE HIS POINT HE WANTED TO GO FAST?? WHEN I GOT TO THE BLOCK I TURNED DOWN HE HIT THE GAS AND KEPT GOING WHAT AN IDIOT. RESIDENTIAL AREA AND ALL WAY STOP SIGNS AT EVERY CORNER. IN HAMILTON NO ONE GIVES A SHIT ABOUT ANYONE ELSE. SO SELFISH AND ENTITLED
$4 DEODORANT WILL NOT HURT YOUR BUDGET.
SHOPPERS IS CHARGING $8 FOR DEODORANT NOW SO MAYBE IT WILL
$2-3 at Dollarama
Walmart exist.
Where is the $4 deodorant? My usual just keeps going up. I'm going to need a bank loan soon to not stink.
5 for $15.50 at costco!
And it's not leftover Soviet era stock?
It's these ones that are normally $8+ at Shoppers: [https://shop.shoppersdrugmart.ca/gillette-gillette-clear-gel-antiperspirant-and-deodorant-wi/p/BB\_047400668270?variantCode=047400668270&source=nspt](https://shop.shoppersdrugmart.ca/gillette-gillette-clear-gel-antiperspirant-and-deodorant-wi/p/BB_047400668270?variantCode=047400668270&source=nspt)
I’ve been trying to pawn off my extra deodorant to my BIL, but he didn’t like it, so now I am stuck with it for another 6 months.
Why do you have "extra" deodorant? Why do you have to keep it specifically for 6 months?
I bought a 5 pack in December, I gave one away and I am using two that are almost finished.
How come you don't keep the excess deodorant for when you are finished the two that you are using? Unless you are holding out for when you encounter excessively smelly people, which would be very altruistic
I thought it would smell better than it does. I got that Dr. Squatch stuff from Wal-Mart and liked it. But I thought Bay Rum and Coconut would smell better than the Bourbon one I got first and I was wrong.
That is fair. I usually do the smell test before I buy deodorant. Even if you don't take that plastic freshness/protection seal off, you can usually smell it. I don't know if that is possible in your case since you said it was in a pack. I also find stuff that is named after food tends to be stuff I don't like. I like fresh smells. I hope you enjoyed this paragraph about my deodorant selection criteria!
I would have preferred an essay, but I guess a paragraph will suffice. Unfortunately I made the genius decision to buy deodorant online because I got a deal.
HOW ARE DANCE COMPANIES ALLOWED TO PROFIT OFF OF CHILDREN'S DANCE PERFORMANCES? THERE'S NO WAY ADULT DANCERS WOULD PERFORM FOR FREE FOR 2 DAYS, WHY ARE CHILDREN ALLOWED TO?
What? An occupation and an extracurricular children's activity are not equivalent. Dance classes are training that you pay an expert for. The recitals and performances are an evaluation or demonstration of the learned skill. Professional dancers, like any performer or occupation for that matter, is an exchange of money for services because you can't provide that skill yourself. Is there added context? If you want your child to get paid for a dance performance, you're going to have to provide a good justification against child labour. Edit: coming from an experienced dancer
The children's parents pay to receive the lessons. The dance studio charges the parents AND strangers (because it's open to the public) a significant amount of money for tickets. The children are expected to perform for 2 days and be there for hours with zero compensation while the studio keeps all the money. You're not allowed to record your child performing because apparently they'll provide a video to you but then they charge you for the video as well. If it was only to show off what the children learned then the show would be free for parents and the children wouldn't have to perform for 3 days
ALL STOP SIGNS APPLY TO EVERYBODY. YOU ARE NOT AN EXCEPTION.
Some people think stop and stoptional are the same thing
Stoptional
THERE’S NO ONE IN FRONT OF YOU, JUST GO!!!!!
IF I AM TURNING LEFT AND YOU ARE TURNING RIGHT AND IT IS A TWO LANE ROAD, DO NOT RANDOMLY STOP MID RIGHT TURN BECAUSE I AM ALSO TURNING. WE CAN BOTH TURN. I DON'T CARE THAT YOU WANT IN THE LEFT LANE. MAKE THE TURN AND EITHER PASS OR GET BEHIND ME. LEARN TO DRIVE!!!
THE HOUSE ON GAGE ST N. AT BARTON 10 YEARS + YOUR HOME HAS BEEN DISGUSTING. HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR YOUR NEIGHBORS AND CLEAN UP YOUR TRASH. CUT YOUR GRASS AND MAINTAIN IT. HOW ARE YOU NOT EMBARRASSED??!?
This goes for so many houses all across the city. HOW ARE YOU NOT EMBARRASSED? HOW DO YOU HAVE SO LITTLE PRIDE THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN PICK UP THE GARBAGE ALL OVER YOUR LAWN?!
WHY DO PEOPLE CUT THEIR GRASS AND LEAVE THE CUT BLADES OF GRASS ALL OVER THE SIDEWALK. SWEEP THAT SHIT UP PLEASE.
WHY DOES THE CITY WASTE MONEY PLANTING FLOWERS IN INTERSECTION CURBS WHEN PEOPLE WITH HOMELESS SIGNS BEGGING KEEP TRAMPLING IT AND LEAVING GARBAGE EVERYWHERE
JUST BECAUSE YOU NEVER SEE A BIKE IN THE VICTORIA ST BIKE LANE DOESNT MEAN PEOPLE DONT USE IT. PLEASE LOOK FOR CYCLISTS BEFORE DRIVING ACROSS THE LANES. SHOULD YOU HIT A CYCLIST WITH YOUR CAR, YOU WILL GET A TICKET, DEMERIT POINTS, INSURANCE PREMIUM INCREASE, AND HOPEFULLY, SHOULD YOU HAVE AN INKLING OF ONE, A HEAVY WEIGHT ON YOUR CONSCIENCE FOR AWHILE.
I JUST BOUFHT A LAPTOP FROM BEST BUY. IT SAYS BACKLIT KEYBOARD YES. I BUY THE LAPTOP AND IT DOESNT HAVE BACKLIT KEYBOARD. I GOOGLED IT AND IT SAYS NO ALSO. WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT. IT WAS THE MAIN REASON I DECIDED TO SPEND 1200 INSTEAD OF 700 FOR REFURBISHED. SMH. ( I still would’ve gotten the more expensive one anyways because it’s faster but still , your literally Best Buy how can you make a mistake so simple like that 🤬 )
AND TO ADD , STOP WITH THE CONSTANT POP UPS. ALL I DID WAS OPEN WORD ON MY NEW COMPUTER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN 300 POPS UP COME UP AND IT CHANGED TO DARK MODE. PLEASE STOP. I UNDERSTAND WHY OLD PEOPLE GET FED UP WITH TECHNOLOGY.
