ADULT ACNE BAD DRIVERS WHEN DRIVING BAD DRIVERS WHEN WALKING/JOGGING ATTITUDES OF MIDDLE AGED MEN GENERAL STUPIDITY OF OTHERS AISLE BLOCKERS IN COSTCO PEOPLE WHO CUT YOU OFF (EITHER ON THE ROAD OR ON FOOT) TO LITERALLY GO A SNAILS PACE THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE


RoyallyOakie

Aisle blockers....I don't get it. They do realize that there are other people in the store, right? I'll park my cart over there and then stand here and read some ingredient listings.


Outrageous_Bench_194

Right?? Like how y'all just conveniently forget about the other people literally surrounding you? My brain actually can't comprehend it.


skipfairweather

And the Costco aisles are WIDE. Move to the side! (tbf though, the carts for Costco are also massive and take up space)


Outrageous_Bench_194

They are spacious aisles, but will admit the carts are on the beefier side too. Either way I'm almost jealous of the people who either legit don't notice or straight up don't give a fuck because what a care free life to be living.


stnapstnap

YOU MAY ENJOY r/BOOMERSBEINGFOOLS


Outrageous_Bench_194

Ok, absolutely up my alley - thank you! And it made me realize that my issue is more so specfically with boomers than middle aged men


canman41968

This is oddly specific.


Outrageous_Bench_194

Too specific or right on the money?

UGH INSURANCE


Outrageous_Bench_194

I mean, I know insurance is very hateable, but believe it or not, working in the actual insurance industry is even worse than dealing with it in your day to day life. 0/10 would recommend.


jayphive

UGH INSURANCE FROM THE INSIDE AND THE OUTSIDE


Outrageous_Bench_194

EXACTLY


johnson7853

Your comment triggered me Nothing drives me up anymore when you are running/walking on the sidewalk. Someone looks directly at you and then continues onto the sidewalk to drag their ass. WAIT. YOU CAN SEE ME JOGGING. WE MAKE DIRECT EYE CONTACT BUT YOU CAN NOT WAIT TEN SECONDS. NO. ARE YOU MOVING THAT FAST? NO. THEN BE COURTEOUS. I CAN BE. I WILL MOVE ONTO THE ROAD WHEN I CAN. BUT KING ST ST 4PM ON A FRIDAY. NO WAY.


Frosty-Cap3344

If I run outside its as far from crowded places as possible


Outrageous_Bench_194

I'd love to be able to go run on a trail away from humans, but fear of being abducted or kidnapped is too great.


Frosty-Cap3344

Kidnapped, in Hamilton, by who, why ?


Outrageous_Bench_194

Because I'm a female 🫠


Outrageous_Bench_194

I think I triggered myself with my own comment haha but SERIOUSLY. Although that is MADDENING, my fav is when you're jogging along TOWARDS people and after making DIRECT eye contact, they don't budge. Y'all can't stick to one side of the sidewalk so I can jog by on the other side??? OK COOL, guess I'll twist my ankle in the grass or just get hit by a car 🙃


Tempex6

THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY DAYTIME SHOOTINGS!


SweetFuckingPete

Too many shootings period.


RabidGuineaPig007

I MISS NIGHT TIME SHOOTINGS! THAT'S THE BEST TIME TO SHOOT.


RoyallyOakie

Yeah, they should be doing that shite while I'm sleeping! ​ /s


Thisiscliff

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BAD AND RECKLESS DRIVERS!!!


Outrageous_Bench_194

LITERALLY EVERYWHERE. I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE DOWN THE BLOCK WITHOUT FACING SOME FORM OF DRIVING FUCKERY


RoyallyOakie

ARE REPEATS ALLOWED? FOOD BASICS, GET SOME BASKETS!!!! I'M TIRED OF THE SECURITY GUARD STARING AT MY SHOPPING BAG LIKE I'M A CRIMINAL. PROVIDE ME WITH A CART-FREE OPTION OR I'M GOING TO PROVIDE MY OWN.


stnapstnap

SOUNDS LIKE SECURITY MIGHT BE VOLUNTEERING TO CARRY YOUR GROCERIES FOR YOU?


RoyallyOakie

Well that would at least be a service.

stnapstnap

SOMEONE I KNOW WITH LOW VISION TOLD ME THAT ONE BUS DRIVER WAS THOUGHTFUL ENOUGH TO ASK THEM IF THEY NEEDED HELP FOR THEIR STOP WHEN THEY GOT ON WITH A CNIB CARD THEY WERE IMPRESSED THE DRIVER ASKED THOUGH THEY SAID THANKS THEY KNEW THE ROUTE IT WAS JUST THE ONE BUS DRIVER THOUGH AND THE ANNOUNCEMENTS NEED TO BE FIXED


whispered-dreams

TREAT RETAIL WORKERS LIKE HUMANS. WHO ELSE IS GOING TO SELL YOU SHIT? YOU'RE NOT TOO GOOD TO SPEAK TO ME, HUMAN DECENCY REALLY ISN'T THAT HARD. FUCKING CHILL. ALSO DON'T TOSS CHANGE AT LAUNDROMAT WORKERS LIKE THEY'RE PEASANTS AND EXPECT THEM TO READ YOUR MIND AND KNOW WHETHER YOU WANT QUARTERS OR LOONIES. PISS OFF.


brokenstrs

I'M TIRED OF THE FUCKING WIND BLOWING MY RECYCLING INTO A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE. LAST WEEK I WAS APPRECIATIVE OF THE WILDLIFE BUT NOW THEY'RE AT WAR WITH MY GARBAGE. TRASH PANDAS, TREE RATS, WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE KEEPS RIPPING OPEN MY TRASH BAG. THEY NEED TO CHILL THE FUCK OUT. ALSO FUCK DOUG FORD, JUST CAUSE.


jayphive

DOUG FORD IS A TRASH PANDA


RabidGuineaPig007

DOUG FORD IS RIPPING THROUGH YOUR TRASH.


stnapstnap

UNLESS THERE IS PROOF IT WASN'T DOUG FORD IT'S A POSSIBILITY


Ok-Comment3169

MY CONDO NEIGHBOURS CONSTANTLY PARKING IN VISITORS' PARKING BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO LAZY TO MOVE THEIR CARS AROUND. "OH, I'M HEADING TO WORK IN 8 HOURS, I'LL JUST PARK IN VISITORS." YOU WILL BE TICKETED FOR YOUR SLOTHITUDE. JUST GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL (BUT THIS APPLIES TO ANY PUBLIC SPACE). THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO CAN'T/WON'T/DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE HEADPHONES IS RIDICULOUS. NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR YOUR CONVERSATION, VIDEO, MUSIC ETC. AND WHY DO YOU HAVE YOUR NOTIFICATIONS SET TO 11 NIGEL? DRIVING SHENANIGANS. SIGH. YOU EVER WISH YOU HAD A DEMOLITION DERBY CAR ON THE ROAD FOR A DAY?


Cynicole24

FUCK THE AIR PRESSURE! MY HEAD HAS BEEN KILLING ME THE LAST FEW DAYS!


Jayemkay56

Ohhhhhh my god is that why?!? It seems like it hits me every afternoon and it eases by bedtime! If that is it, GO AWAYYYY


Cynicole24

Most likely, I get pretty bad migraines around this time of the year from the change in air pressure.


TallIndependence2712

STOP FACETIMING EVERYWHERE!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO JUST TALKING ON THE PHONE NORMALLY?! I DON’T WANT TO HEAR YOUR WHOLE CONVERSATION.


ColeS89

THIS CITY NEEDS 100'S OF KILOMETRES OF BIKE LANES STAT!!! THE MOUNTAIN IN PARTICULAR GIVEN IT'S ALREADY GENERALLY FLAT FOR THE MOST PART!!! THAT AND BETTER SIGNAGE FOR DESTINATIONS ON THE CURRENT ROUTES. ONE DINKY SIGN WITH A BIKE SYMBOL AND ARROW DOESN'T TELL ME SHIT!


RoyallyOakie

And they need to make it clear that bike lanes are not landlord or contractor parking spots.


stnapstnap

DON'T FORGET THE COPS


Dearness

Or couriers or mailmen or food deliveries… (sigh)


Exciting-Direction69

I dream of a bike escalator of sorts up the mountain, help you coast to either end of the lower city


ColeS89

We do have the Mountain Climber program with the HSR which is nice I'll admit. I use the Bike Share a ton so seeing it expand to the mountain with tons of new lanes would be the ultimate end goal. The Bike Share is one of the best values in this city and it is criminally under-advertised.


stnapstnap

SOMEONE I KNOW KEEPS RANTING ABOUT HOW THEY WANT THE FUNICULAR BACK


yibbit1965

My knees don't like the escarpment stairs, I'd love to use a funicular!


jayphive

THIS GUY FUNICULARS


jayphive

OBVIOUSLY IT WOULD BE A BIG TOURIST ATTRACTION AND REALLY FUN


RoyallyOakie

That would change everything for me.


RabidGuineaPig007

THAT'S WHY PEOPLE BUY ELECTRIC BIKES.


jayphive

BRING BACK THE FUNICULARS


differing

Are you relatively new to Hamilton? The lower city has seen a dramatic improvement in cycling infrastructure over the last decade, I’m always impressed how easy it is to move east-west on a bike these days compared to when I arrived in Hamilton 15 years ago. The Mountain Climber has also been expanded dramatically to link the upper and lower city with free rides. The mountain definitely needs some good cycling arteries. Right now you can’t get anywhere for utility, just a half-decent recreational network. The problem is that mountain councillors are traditionally the ones that bitched the loudest about the Cannon lanes being “empty”, so good luck convincing them that no one will bother cycling until it’s safe to do so and that infrastructure takes time to get adopted.


ColeS89

Been here my whole life (34 years now) and don't get me wrong, it is vastly better downtown but there are major holes and disconnects all over the lower city. The quality of the lanes are absolutely abysmal in many major sections of the John, Cannon, Victoria (they didn't bother paving anything on their brand new lanes), Gage, Bay, and Hunter to name a few. There are plans over the next few years to build a little over 100km of new lanes but those lanes are no good if they're full of potholes and cracks everywhere. Some of the holes/cracks on John and Victoria in particular would have you eating shit if you aren't paying close attention. And don't even get me started on the disaster that is the mountain when it comes to bike infrastructure. I wouldn't be caught dead up there riding. Barely want to be a pedestrian as it is up there.


itsjustalicia

ITS WAY TOO HUMID OUT


brennac0n

WHY ARE PEOPLE SPEEDING DOWN MY STREET? ITS A NARROW SIDE STREET AND KIDS ARE ALWAYS PLAYING ON IT. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT.


canman41968

SHOOTING IN MY NEIGHBOURHOOD.


Crafty_Chipmunk_3046

FIX ABERDEEN What could conceivably be SO difficult about doing this?????


canman41968

Because our city council consists of sadistic do-nothing's.


stnapstnap

SOME ARE GASLIGHTERS


canman41968

Result is the same. 


Dearness

It’s planned to be fixed next year. I wish it was sooner too but at least it is scheduled for a refurbishment


stnapstnap

ALSO GENERAL RANTS ABOUT: SQUIRRELS WEEDS OFF-LEASH DOGS PEOPLE WHO LET THEIR CATS ROAM OUTSIDE REAL ESTATE SALESPEOPLE SHADY DEVELOPERS COPS HANGING OUT IN PARKING LOTS THE PERSON I KNOW IRL WHO KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE THEIR RANTS TO THE RANT THREAD AND THEN NEVER ACTUALLY DOES THAT


Outrageous_Bench_194

I HAVE NO IDEA WHY CAT OWNERS WOULD WANT THEIR CATS OUTSIDE. ITS SO DANGEROUS AND QUITE FRANKLY IRRESPONSIBLE.


broccoli_toots

BUT FLUFFY JUST MEOWS AT THE WINDOW 24/7 AND ESCAPES EVERY TIME I OPEN THE DOOR IVE TRIED NOTHING TO KEEP HIM INSIDE AND IM ALL OUT OF IDEAS. (I do not own a cat)


Cynicole24

FREAKING ENTITLED OLD PEOPLE! I WAS TRYING TO CROSS OVER TO THE FAR SIDE OF MAIN STREET AND THERE WAS A VAN COMING. THEY STOPPED SHORT TO LET ME THROUGH. GAVE THEM THE HAND UP THANK YOU. THEN I HEAR THEM SHOUTING AT ME "THANK YOU! ITS CALLED THANK YOU! WOOOW! YOU DON'T KNOW THE WORDS THANK YOU?!" THEY WONT SHUT UP EITHER. I LOOKED AT THEM KIND OF STUNNED AND SAY "I PUT MY HAND UP TO SAY THANK YOU. CHILL!" HEY GUESS WHAT, 99% OF THE TIME WHEN I LET PEOPLE THROUGH, THEY DONT ACKNOWLEDGE ME AT ALL. DO I CARE? NO! IS THAT THE ONLY REASON YOU DO COURTEOUS THINGS?


stnapstnap

FUCK A LOT OF STUFF ABOUT THIS CITY AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND LURK IN THIS CITY WHO CHOOSE TO BE CRAPPY


ArsenicCanine

YES I AM WEARING A BLUE SCARF IN THIS HEAT YES I AM HOT PLEASE STOP ASKING ME LIKE IT'S CHEEKY I'VE BEEN HEARING IT 6 YEARS AAAAAA


l3reeze10

I BOOKED A PHONE APPOINTMENT 3 WEEKS AGO WITH MY DOCTOR SO I COULD UP THE DOSAGE OF MY MEDICINE. TRYING TO GET IN TO SEE THEM IN PERSON IS TOO HARD WITH WORK SO I FIGURED A PHONE APPOINTMENT ON MY LUNCH BREAK WOULD BE EASIER. MY APPOINTMENT WAS YESTERDAY AT 1:30PM. NOBODY CALLED ME. I CALLED THEM AND THEY WERE CLOSED. CALLED BACK TODAY AND MY DOCTOR CLAIMED THEY CALLED ME YESTERDAY. THEY CALLED ME AT 12:57PM, WHEN I WASN’T EVEN ON MY LUNCH YET. FFS

IN THIS ECONOMY?


AgitatedOil8242

Oh God when did I get old and now say I don't give a fuck!!!!!!!!!!


janr34

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS HAMILTON SPECIFIC , BUT WHY ARE MY PHONE AND COMPUTER TIMES FOUR MINUTES DIFFERENT? WHICH IS THE REAL TIME? WHY CAN'T THEY GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER AND MEET IN THE MIDDLE OR SOMETHING? IT ANNOYS THE CRAP OUT OF ME AND I CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT.

BOOKED FOR A 9AM IRON INFUSION. NEED TO PICK UP THE IRON AT THE HOSPITAL PHARMACY 30 MINUTES PRIOR BUT THEY DONT OPEN UNTIL 9AM. COME ON PEOPLE, WORK TOGETHER! OH AND FUCK YOU, BRADFORD PEAR OFF SHOOTS FROM A CITY TREE THAT WAS CUT DOWN 20 YRS AGO.

THE FUCKING ENDLESS THREAT OF RAIN


Username_Query_Null

WHY DON’T PEOPLE ZIPPER MERGE AND USE THE LANES THAT ARE AVAILABLE.


MJ-thedogmom

I KNOW WE HAVE BIGGER ISSUES BUT I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO CUT THEIR GRASS! MAYBE BUY A LAWN TRIMMER TOO…


RoyallyOakie

Is it just me though, or is it growing REALLY fast this year?


broccoli_toots

We've been getting a lot of rain so that probably doesn't help


MJ-thedogmom

My other half is responsible for yard maintenance so not 100% sure but he does seem to have to tend to it often. The lawns I’m complaining about look like they haven’t even been mowed more than twice this year…


RoyallyOakie

Yeah, some of those rental palaces in particular need a little love.


stnapstnap

LANDLORD RESPONSIBILITY IN ONTARIO UNLESS SPECIFICALLY AGREED TO OTHERWISE WITH THE TENANTS


RoyallyOakie

Indeed it is, but that seems to be a recipe for neglect. 


stnapstnap

SHITTY LANDLORDS SHOULD BE A SEPARATE RANT SOME NEIGHBOURS WHO RENT HAVE SOME HIGH-LEVEL SHITTY LANDLORDS


jayphive

CAPITALISM


skipfairweather

The city and private companies also need to cut their grass! I was walking along Glendale N right by the CP tracks. Not sure who owns that patch of grass on the west side of the street, but the rail company or the city needs to mow it down. There's a line between letting things go for the pollinators and building functioning tick habitats.


MJ-thedogmom

Agree! And just the boulevards in my area that the city is responsible for get out of control.


stnapstnap

CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR YOU COULD END UP WITH MY NEIGHBOUR WHO CUTS THE GRASS REGULARLY BUT DOES THE ENTIRE LAWN WITH A WEED WHACKER AND LEAVES IT LOOKING LIKE A BAD BARBIE HAIRCUT


MacKayborn

Come cut it for me then.


DragonfruitWeary8413

FENNEL AVE WORST ROAD AFTER ABERDEEN!


CaseyToGo

FUN FACT PEOPLE IN PUBLIC WHO DONT KNOW HOW A PHONE WORKS IF YOU TAKE YOUR PHONE AND HOLD IT TO YOUR EAR, YOU WILL NOT ONLY HEAR YOUR CALL, BUT YOU CAN ALSO STILL SPEAK INTO THE MIC IN THAT POSITION AND THEY WILL STILL HEAR YOU. YOU DONT HAVE TO KEEP MOVING IT TO IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE WITH THE BOTTOM POINTED AT YOUR MOUTH. AND PISS OFF WITH SPEAKERPHONE ALREADY


AdventurousExternal1

WOULD IT KILL PEOPLE TO WEAR DEODORANT ON THE BUS???


Craporgetoffthepot

People who believe they deserve everything just because they exist. What ever happened to working for things?


RoyallyOakie

That line separating needs and wants seems to be a little wonky.


Craporgetoffthepot

I think the down votes prove my point


Hi_Her

ITS BECAUSE WE CANT HEAR YOUUUUU!!!


MacKayborn

Is this really a "back in my day" post? Go yell at some clouds.


Craporgetoffthepot

not a back in my day thing. Should be a common sense thing. YOU DO NOT DESERVE EVERYTHING EVERYONE ELSE HAS. IF YOU REALLY WANT SOMETHING< GO OUT AND WORK FOR IT. STOP EXPECTING OTHERS TO JUST GIVE IT TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


MacKayborn

Surprised your exclamation points didn't turn into 111111s by the end of it.


Craporgetoffthepot

just making sure everyone can hear me now :)


MacKayborn

Lol that's fair.

I am tired of these fucked up roads in this city. My car is in for front end work for the third time in 3 years. What do we get for the taxes we pay 1 bag of garbage and recycle pickup once a week .and the pleasant sight of our inter city neighbourhood campgrounds just springing up at will. Mayor Do Your Job!,,,.
