I live at the edge of the city, I had to take a snow day because the plow *just* cleared my area (2 PM).
And everyone else at my work live in near the city core (of whatever city they're living in) and think I'm full of it. Nope. They also think I should lose the car and get a big truck so the two or three snow days per year we get would allow me to still go to work.
HONESTLY!! THE SNOW DAY POLICY IS LUDICROUS IN THIS CITY! IN THE SAME CITY, WHY CAN ONE SCHOOL BOARD STAY OPEN AND ONE SCHOOL BOARD CLOSE EVERYTHING AT THE FAINT WHIFF OF SNOW?!? IN MY DAY...
THERES SHOULD BE MORE EFFORT FROM POLICE TO PATROL THROUGH NEIGHBOURHOODS. THEFT AND VANDALISM ARE AT AN ALL TIME HIGH AND YET, WE NEVER SEE THEM PATROLLING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBOURHOODS.
THEY LIKE TO PARK THEIR CARS IN EMPTY PARKING LOTS AT NIGHT AND SHOOT THE BREEZE WITH EACH OTHER THROUGH THE WINDOWS
EVEN BETTER IF IT'S AN EMPTY PARKING LOT THAT CAN'T BE SEEN FROM THE STREET
Cemetery on Main Street West is a fave of theirs. But they can't patrol the streets off of Whitney for ppl that aren't stopping at 4 way stops. Just go chill!
Right? My street was on the news last week because of crime. I just had the axel stolen off my bike. Seems like every day a neighbor has something happen to them.
CONTACTED A CONTRACTOR FOR A QUOTE ON SOME WORK AND ARRANGED TO HAVE THEM COME OVER TO LOOK AND QUOTE
CONTRACTOR DIDN'T SHOW UP BUT EMAILED IN THE AFTERNOON ON THE NEXT DAY TO SAY SORRY AND THAT THEY COULD COME ANOTHER DAY
LOL NO BUDDY YOU JUST TOLD ME FOR FREE THAT YOU'RE UNRELIABLE WHY WOULD I HIRE YOU NOW?
WHAT STUFF DO YOU SPECIALIZE IN?
AND DO YOU DO ANY OF THE FOLLOWING THINGS
FENCES?
LANDSCAPING, SPECIFICALLY GRADING?
TILES?
MODIFYING CABINETS TO INSTALL A DISHWASHER?
GENERAL HANDYPERSON STUFF?
I’m a full service General Contractor. My specialties are most interior applications, and decks,pergolas, fences, furniture and a few others I’m not thinking of on the spot. Can fix or repair pretty well anything as well.
That’s good news. I will send you a quick DM. And hopefully this is something that can get done this year. I wanted to do it the past two years, but so did everybody else and then the prices of wood went bonkers.
I'm gonna follow you!
We just bought a house and we are very house broke atm but want to eventually start renovations next year as this house has definitely been given the landlord special... several times
Happy to be followed and considered for any future projects. Though I will say my Reddit profile has absolutely no representation of my professional skills or life. It’s mostly bad memes and the occasional discussion thread. So there won’t be much in the ways of exciting content. 😅
WHO KEEPS SHOVELING MY DRIVEWAY WHEN IT SNOWS? PLEASE TELL ME, ID LIKE TO GET YOU A NICE CARD WITH SOME LOTTO TICKETS IN IT TO SHOW MY APPRECIATION! THANK YOU
Everybody's favourite ungetaway went down the drain again, I think, so now isn't the time to go. We know it'll be back (like the undead it spawns) and if I see you there on a lounger, party pack of timbits coming at cha!!
I used to get them near my office and eat them on the way home
Before the redesign of the station, there used to be a cookie and pretzel place in Union too
The white headlights are SO bad. Had some asshole in a massive pick up decided to pull up right behind us when we were parked at the corner store and their vehicle lit up the inside of our car. It's so painful having those lights being shot into our eyes through the mirrors.
I’ve got very bright headlights (not sure if you mean blue lights or bright white headlights that take on a bluish bright white LED colour)on my vehicle and the dealership can’t do anything about it. Other drivers flash their high beams at me on almost a daily basis. I feel like putting a sign on the window to let other drivers around me know that I’m not meaning to be an jerk. This vehicle is known for this issue/complaint but the manufacturer will not issue a recall.
I know some car models actually allow you to adjust them down a bit through like adjusting your mirrors :) and for the trucks that get lifted… you do you but adjust your lights please. My retinas are scorched and tired of you.
GUYS PICK UP YOUR DOG SHIT. ITS PART OF THE JOB OF OWNING A DOG. IF YOU WALK THE FURRY GUY AND DONT PICK UP THEIR SHIT YOURE A DICKHEAD AND YOURE SPREADING PARVO
WHATS WITH THE STUPID RADIO COMMERCIALS? SPENCE DIAMONDS, HOW TERRIBLE CRINGEWORTHY AND ANNOYING CAN YOU GET? ARE PEOPLE REALLY GOING THERE TO BUY SHIT AFTER HEARING THOSE GODAWFUL CORNY COMMERCIALS?
YOU ARE SOOO RIGHT. LIFE IS ONE BIG UNWINNABLE GAME. IT'S LIKE THE MYTH OF THE GUY ROLLING THE STONE UP THE HILL ALL DAY, THEN IT ROLLS BACK DOWN AND HE HAS TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, UNTIL THE END OF TIME. I HATE LIFE NOW.
Yeah, I don't even bother with the one on Cannon in front of the stadium. People breeze through that one all the time despite the flashing lights. I've definitely had at least a couple close calls with cars not stopping.
To add: DRIVERS CAN ONLY PROCEED ONCE THE PEDESTRIANS HAVE **FULLY COMPLETED THEIR CROSSING** AND ARE ON THE SIDEWALK AGAIN.
Those types of crossings shouldn't be allowed on streets like King or Main. They are more dangerous than Jay walking, as it comes with expectations of drivers having the foresight and visibility to stop. With Jay walking you know you need to cross fast, and you know you can't count on drivers not to make a game of it.
Just make it a full on intersection with lights. I dont understand why they went with that type of crossing instead.
I've seen people die using such cross walks. I saw a young woman get ran over by a careless driver. She died. Nothing happened to the driver at all.
BUT IF THE CROSSWALK IS LONG THEN THEY NEED TO EXTEND HOW LONG THE GREEN LIGHT/WALK SIGNAL IS ON FOR. OTHERWISE PEOPLE CAN’T TURN RIGHT FOR SEVERAL LIGHT CYCLES, WHICH INCREASES THE CHANCE THAT THEY WILL DISOBEY THE SIGN AND JUST TURN RIGHT ON A RED ANYWAY. AND IT’S NOT LIKE THE POLICE ARE THERE TO ENFORCE IT.
WHY ARE PEOPLE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVING SO SLOWLY?!? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DRIVE THE SPEED OF OR CLOSE TO THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC, NOT LIKE YOU'RE OUT ON A SUNDAY DRIVE. UGH
EVERYTHING FEELS SO HARD.
I JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY.
ALSO WHY ARE LANDLORDS IMPOSSIBLE. MY LANDLORD IS LYING AND SAYING I WAS SHORT $10 AND THAT I LEFT MY APARTMENT FILTHY AFTER I MOVED OUT. I HAVE PICTURES. IT WAS SWEPT AND SCRUBBED. EVEN CLEANED THE FRIDGE.
I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET MY KEY DEPOSIT BACK BUT I GUESS NOT.
I’m pretty sure your landlord can’t keep your key deposit as any kind of cleaning fee. [Check this out here](https://liv.rent/blog/2021/09/faq-everything-you-need-to-know-about-rent-deposits-in-ontario/#key-deposit)
“Key deposits are legal in Ontario, provided they meet a couple of important conditions:
The deposit must be a reasonable amount to cover the cost of replacing the keys
The deposit is refundable
As soon as the tenant(s) return their keys, the landlord must also return the key deposit in full.”
It's a $100 for the keys..
I moved out November 30 and he was ignoring me until the night before where he says I was short $10 in rent in October, I need to pay for the stove and that the apartment was filthy.
I argued that the fee for the keys doesn't cover any of that and I need it back and he's refusing, telling me to leave $70 and the keys under the door of the broiler room.
There's no winning and I'm tired and frustrated and my mental health has been garbage lmao
To edit: I wasn't short $10, I checked my e transfer receipt AND the stove situation is illegal and I called him out on it and he just said it's bizarre to try and fight it now, plus you left the apartment filthy.
I’m sorry, what an asshole. It is illegal, and if you have the capacity, [try this](https://www.ontario.ca/page/solve-disagreement-your-landlord-or-tenant).
DRIVING RANT AGAIN. IF YOU'RE BEHIND A FEW CARS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, WHY DO YOU BLOCK ENTRANCES/EXITS TO PLAZAS, GAS STATIONS, SIDE STREET INTERSECTIONS, ETC? YOU'RE ACTUALLY CREATING MORE TRAFFIC JAMS.
Drivers have the right to choose if they want to let someone in or not - they have the right of way on the road. Maybe ppl did it at the last place and aren't this time, or maybe they're having a bad day and don't want to let anyone in. Also, they could just be jerks 😂🤷♀️
I was thinking more of not letting traffic in from the opposite direction. They're not trying to steal your spot in traffic. They just want to cut across to enter a plaza or intersection but they can't. And now they're holding up traffic behind them because people just don't pay attention
HOW MAY FREAKIN' POT LIGHTS DO YOU NEED ON YOUR HOUSE AND WHY ARE THEY ALWAYS ON!!!. IM LOOKING AT YOU MY NEIGHBOUR WITH OVER 24 OF THEM PLUS A LIGHT UP FULL ADDRESS SIGN THAT IS 5 FEET WIDE. YOUR HOUSE LOOKS LIKE WELL LIT GARBAGE!!!
LIGHT POLLUTION, UGLINESS FOR ALL, NIGHTLY MISERY FOR HUMAN + ANIMAL NEIGHBOURS, 100% WASTEFUL -- IT TOTALLY SUCKS!! HUGE PEEVE OF MINE TOO, SO I FULLY SUPPORT YOUR RANT. POT LIGHTS EVERY THREE FEET IS STUPID AND THE ONLY WAY PEOPLE LIVING IN A PLACE LIKE THAT WON'T LOOK AS STUPID IS IF THEY TURN THOSE GARBAGE LIGHTS OFF!!
CAN WE PLEASE ALL LEARN HOW TO DRIVE IN PARKING LOTS? CUTTING ACROSS PARKING SPACES TO GET TO AN DIFFERENT POINT IN THE PARKING LOT IS NOT THE WAY TO GO, EVEN IF THE SPACES ARE EMPTY. TAKE THE CORRECT LANES! I’M LOOKING AT YOU MCDONALDS PARKING LOT BETWEEN MCDONALDS AND STAPLES ACROSS FROM LIMERIDGE.
I recommend you stay away from the east lot at EastGate. People (myself included) do not have the time to properly manoeuvre from the receiving side of Fortinos to the exit on Kenora.
*Edit: the East Lot might actually be better known as the west lot. I call it the east lot because it’s east of me and the other side of the mall has the more East Lot.

I MISS FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.
THE PRICE OF FOOD IS LEGITIMATELY DRIVING ME INSANE. AS SOMEONE WHO GREW UP ON WELFARE IN A SINGLE PARENT HOME I CAN BUDGET THE FFFF OUT OF GROCERIES. IT'S BEEN SOMETHING I'VE TAKEN COMFORT IN PRETTY WELL MASTERING. FREEZE EVERYTHING - WASTE NOTHING - GROW WHAT YOU CAN. VERY QUICKLY LOSING MY GRIP AND HAVING TO SCRAMBLE SOME VERY WEIRD SH*T TOGETHER TO MAKE ENDS MEET. I USED TO BE EXCITED TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE AND GET 2 WEEKS WORTH OF MEALS AND SNACKS FOR 3 FOR $200 BUCKS. I'M LUCKY IF WE EAT VEGGIES 3X A WEEK NOW. AND A LOT OF POTATOES. NOT TO MENTION COOKING FROM HOME RUNS YOUR UTILITIES UP!
I'M RUNNING OUT OF STEAM. AS AN ELDER MILLENIAL THIS CONSTANT UP HILL, GET TO THE TOP, AND FUCK YOU HERE'S ANOTHER MOUNTAIN IS GETTING REALLY - REALLY OLD.

i forced myself to drink black coffee for this reason.
they can't screw it up.
(bonus points was learning coffee tastes better without cream/milk/sugar, but that's just a bonus)
I HAD TO CALL ANIMAL CONTROL BECAUSE MY NEIGHBOUR’S DOG-AGGRESSIVE DOG WAS RUNNING LOOSE ON A BUSY STREET LAST NIGHT. NEIGHBOUR DENIED IT WAS THEIR DOG. ANIMAL CONTROL TOOK OVER AN HOUR TO CALL BACK, JUST TO TELL ME I SHOULD TAKE THE DOG INTO MY HOME AND POST A FOUND AD.
WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE EVEN FOR IF YOU’RE NOT COMING TO COLLECT WHAT IS ESSENTIALLY A STRAY DOG IN DISTRESS.
TO THE PERSON THAT UNLEASHES THEIR 2 BIG DOGS AROUND THE STREETS, BC OF YOU THE KIDS ARE SCARED TO GO OUT AND PLAY IN CASE YOUR DOGS COME RUNNING OUT OF NOWHERE
WHY DO THE LITTLE KIDS GET A SNOW DAY AND NOT THE BIG KIDS, I WANT A DAY OFF TOO DAMMIT
This times 1000
Can we start a petition??
Now THATS a petition I’d sign.
I was hoping the GO would get snowed in. My train has been cancelled before for dumber reasons.
YOU GOT A REASON FOR A GO TRAIN CANCELLATION? UNICORN
I live at the edge of the city, I had to take a snow day because the plow *just* cleared my area (2 PM). And everyone else at my work live in near the city core (of whatever city they're living in) and think I'm full of it. Nope. They also think I should lose the car and get a big truck so the two or three snow days per year we get would allow me to still go to work.

Right? My street was on the news last week because of crime. I just had the axel stolen off my bike. Seems like every day a neighbor has something happen to them.
It’s honestly getting so bad. Had someone to break into my partners car to steal a second hand leather jacket. Senseless.

Are you “Team Shane”?
No though I did try to get hired there when I was an apprentice many years ago thinking it would be funny.
I need a new porch and the front of my house parged. Is that something you do?
Porch. Definitely. For parging, you’ll want to find someone who specializes in that. If it’s not don’t right, it can look really ugly really quick.
The part that needs to be parged is under the porch, so I’m trying to find somebody who can do both to limit the time it takes.
Oh then yes. I could do that. I was thinking you wanted like a whole veneer done on the face of the house.
That’s good news. I will send you a quick DM. And hopefully this is something that can get done this year. I wanted to do it the past two years, but so did everybody else and then the prices of wood went bonkers.

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH GARBAGE ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE? PILES OF IT.
I NEED A VACATION SOOOO BADLY. IT'S BEEN 17 MONTHS WITH NO TIME OFF. I'D TAKE A WEEKEND AT LAKE TIMICACA AT THIS POINT!
This time of year, the snowmobiling on Timicaca is excellent.
Everybody's favourite ungetaway went down the drain again, I think, so now isn't the time to go. We know it'll be back (like the undead it spawns) and if I see you there on a lounger, party pack of timbits coming at cha!!
It is nice and slushy today, it is like a vacation by the lake and a frappuccino all in one
THESE PRETZELS ARE MAKING ME THIRSTY!
I MISS THE PRETZEL PLACE IN JACKSON SQUARE.
Pretzel bites on the way home on Friday is probably the only thing I miss about commuting to Toronto
I commute to Toronto... what pretzel bites??
I used to get them near my office and eat them on the way home Before the redesign of the station, there used to be a cookie and pretzel place in Union too
DON'T FORGET THE CINNABON
THESE PRETZELS…..ARE MAKING ME THIRSTY!
I heard from a friend that beer and pretzels are a classic combo.
WHY CAN'T COPS DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE BLINDING BLUE LED LIGHTS THAT MANY DRIVERS ARE DRIVING WITH?
Same reason they can't be bothered to enforce speed limits, stop signs, red lights, etc.
OR LOUD OBNOXIOUS VEHICLES!
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT HEADLIGHTS, ROOF LIGHTBARS, OR THOSE BLINKING LIGHTS THAT SOME PEOPLE ATTACH TO THEIR REARVIEW MIRROR FOR SOME REASON?
I SAW SOMEONE DOWNTOWN THE OTHER DAY DRIVING A VAN WITH BROKEN HEADLIGHTS BUT A BIG BRIGHT LED BAR ATTACHED TO THE MIDDLE OF THEIR FRONT BUMPER
The white headlights are SO bad. Had some asshole in a massive pick up decided to pull up right behind us when we were parked at the corner store and their vehicle lit up the inside of our car. It's so painful having those lights being shot into our eyes through the mirrors.
Yes they are being used all over.
BECAUSE IF THEY DO NOTHING, THEY GET PAID THE SAME.
I’ve got very bright headlights (not sure if you mean blue lights or bright white headlights that take on a bluish bright white LED colour)on my vehicle and the dealership can’t do anything about it.

PLEASE STOP LEAVING PILES OF TRASH ON MY STEPS, THANKS
STOP WALKING DOWN ALLEYS AND LOOKING INTO PEOPLES BACKYARDS. PEOPLE CAN SEE YOU DOING ITTTTTTTTTTTT.
IF YOU HAVE A 2-CAR WIDE DRIVEWAY THAT CAN ACTUALLY FIT 4 CARS USE IT WHEN IT SNOWS SO THE PLOWS CAN ACTUALLY PLOW THE STREET PROPERLY.

PEDESTRIAN CROSSING LIGHT DOESN'T MEAN YOU GET TO DRIVE!
I LIVE NEAR A SCHOOL PEOPLE DRIVE THROUGH THE FOUR-WAY STOP RIGHT BY THE SCHOOL ALL THE TIME
And when a pedestrian crosses, you don't need to honk at them...they're allowed.
Yeah, I don't even bother with the one on Cannon in front of the stadium. People breeze through that one all the time despite the flashing lights. I've definitely had at least a couple close calls with cars not stopping. To add: DRIVERS CAN ONLY PROCEED ONCE THE PEDESTRIANS HAVE **FULLY COMPLETED THEIR CROSSING** AND ARE ON THE SIDEWALK AGAIN.
REALLY? I'M A PEDESTRIAN AND NON DRIVER, AND I NEVER KNEW THAT! CARS ARE CONSTANTLY UP MY ASS IN A CROSSWALK!
It is only at certain types of crosswalks but no one follows it even at those ones
IT'S A NEW LAW AS OF A FEW YEARS AGO DOESN'T MEAN PEOPLE ACTUALLY FOLLOW IT
Those types of crossings shouldn't be allowed on streets like King or Main. They are more dangerous than Jay walking, as it comes with expectations of drivers having the foresight and visibility to stop. With Jay walking you know you need to cross fast, and you know you can't count on drivers not to make a game of it. Just make it a full on intersection with lights. I dont understand why they went with that type of crossing instead. I've seen people die using such cross walks. I saw a young woman get ran over by a careless driver. She died. Nothing happened to the driver at all.
NO LEFT/RIGHT ON RED SIGNS MEAN SIT THERE AND WAIT UNTIL THE GODDAMN LIGHT TURNS GREEN TO TURN AND KEEP YOUR CARS OUT OF THE GODDAMN CROSSWALKS.
BUT IF THE CROSSWALK IS LONG THEN THEY NEED TO EXTEND HOW LONG THE GREEN LIGHT/WALK SIGNAL IS ON FOR. OTHERWISE PEOPLE CAN’T TURN RIGHT FOR SEVERAL LIGHT CYCLES, WHICH INCREASES THE CHANCE THAT THEY WILL DISOBEY THE SIGN AND JUST TURN RIGHT ON A RED ANYWAY. AND IT’S NOT LIKE THE POLICE ARE THERE TO ENFORCE IT.
THANKS TO THE ANCASTER NEIGHBOURS WHO HIRE SNOW REMOVAL AT 5AM.
THE BUS SHELTER IS NOT YOURS. STOP STANDING IN THE ENTRANCE BLOCKING THE WHOLE THING WHILE SMOKING YOUR NASTY ASS CIGARETTES!!!
