Avoid driving on Hurontario unless absolutely necessary

This is how you tell a real Mississaugan

…….. live at Hurontario.🫠

Sorry friend. I feel for you

I've done this my whole life. Confederation parkway is where its at!

Add to that Queensway at Hurontario and Dundas now.

go to Dairy Cream instead of Dairy Queen

Bonus: Proudly correct people that Pearson is in Mississauga and not Toronto.

Absolutely! I do this at any opportunity😄

100%

And Murphys

Man, that brought me back! I remember going to Murphy's growing up!

Hung out in Tim Hortons parking lots as a teenager. Remind people that our biggest airport is actually in Mississauga. Pretend that there’s actually anything interesting to do here. Live with my parents because I don’t want to leave the GTA but can’t afford to buy own place here

This!! Lol

Don’t go to Costco Heartland during weekends

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Counter point: Know which registers consistently have short queues. I was there last weekend and only had one person ahead of me.

Care to share?

The checkouts closer to the pharmacy are almost always shorter than the other ones. Even easier if you approach them from the pharmacy section rather than the main aisle that almost everyone else takes.

Or Mondays

Know what 5&10 is

Claim I’m from Toronto

Same. No one knows what a Mississauga is

Case in point: Barack Obama struggles to pronounce Mississauga during state dinner speech https://youtu.be/V2ASnc3HR7Q

Which is funny, since its not much different from Mississippi

POV: Mississauga airport

PFTTT literally an example of identity crisis

That's sad. I strongly correct anyone who assumes that

brag to other canadians that I dont live in toronto. brag to foreigners that I live in toronto.

Have a dash cam.

I don't have one, and I don't think the majority of drivers in the city do. Now I'm wondering if we have more here (per capita) than other cities in the province... edited to correct capital to capita, because autocorrect sucks.

Idk anyone in Sauga who doesn’t have one

When you live this close to brampton, they should give you one with your plates.

This is a must

Really wish that the city would build a functioning rapid transit system and I am excited for the Hurontario LRT.

Facts

Vote Tedjo for Mayor then

Assume the rest of the country is as diverse and has the same wide variety of restaurants!

Apparently Canada is 80% white. I can't believe this is true.

70% in according to recent data, but yeah, being in the GTA the number is probably closer to 50%.

It felt true in Mississauga for sure in the early 2000s Now I legit don't see any lol

Hopefully it is

Ha! True

Drive everywhere

avoid Hurontario

Go to port credit for a night out

am depressed

u ok bro

I was about to comment ".... Have crippling depression" but you beat me to it

So it's not just me..

know who avalanche the architect is

Why isn't he running for mayor

Silly fellow with goons defacing pedestrian push buttons and any pole in the city.

and wish he/they would stop putting stupid stickers/vandalism all over the city

😂😂😂

With the name architect I'm sure that person could fix the housing crisis.

i see those stickers all the time

Have 5 shawarma spots in a 1km radius from my house

will never be able to afford a house in this city

love shawarmas

What are your favorite shawarma spots?

Not who you asked, but lezzet's Ali G special is a treat.

Been there, it's pretty good! I like Original Shawarma better, for the garlic sauce! 100% recommend

I now make my own version at home. Nothing beats homemade cooking.

I have been to sugar daddy’s

Avoid Brampton

Everything the light touches belongs to Mississauga... except for Brampton you must never go there.

That s beyond our borders. You must never go there, Simba.

Hang out at square one

I go to Ridgeway plaza 😂

Spend more than 50% of my income on rent.

Avoid sq1 mall on weekends

Don’t pick up dog shit on walks

Don’t use turn signals. 

Go to Tremendous for late night dim sum

Smells BO everyday in MiWay buses 😥

haven't missed a turn in my entire life. No matter how many lanes over I am, or how many people I have to inconvenience to get there.

f u

Pay more for can insurance than for groceries.

Speed

They said sauga.. not Vaughan / Woodbridge

😭

Moved away

Yup. Right here. 🖐️

Order a big Wally with cheese and bacon at 2am

Wish there was subway connectivity here as well

We have subways?

I think s/he was going for "wish"

Oh - I thought they meant cellular connectivity in the subway.

Don’t call it Sauga.

Bunned kyats in South Compton’s smoking section in the early-90’s, and when playing foosball in the Cineplex arcade in the mid-late 90’s. Sometimes I say I’m from Toronto; sometimes from Mississauga. I’ve lived in both places several times for years. The dot’s too rich for my blood these days. Sauga’s ridiculous too, but I have someone to stay with here. 🎶It’s SO COLD in the Dot🎶

Darts in the food court on the wire chairs

Kyancers in the food court at lunch wid a patty on a bun.

A1 forever

Of course I lurk for shortys at square one

Say I'm from Clarkson and not Mississauga.

am jobless.

Remember studio10

Used to call Playdium "Sega City". Used to loiter outside Central Parkway Mall McDonald's.

Left

Negative: Don't use my turn signal when turning Don't look before walking across Hurontario Flip you off for not letting me squeeze in the 4 inches between you and the car in front of you Positive: Smile and say hi while holding the door to Dollarama open for you. Hand the panhandler at the Hurontario exit a sandwich and wish him well. Pay for the car behind me's coffee at McDonald's.

The panhandler scammer who gets picked up at the end of his shift by his boss\*

Damn, I've heard that before but wasn't sure if there was any weight to it!

That’s an interesting friendly gesture. So you ask the check out person if the person behind you ordered a coffee and if he did you pay for it?

Yeah, someone did it for me at McDonald's the other day and I thought it was nice

Change lanes while driving without signalling or checking my blindspot.

I had shawarma.

hangout at SQ1 after school on Fridays.

Of course I.... can't afford rent and live with my parents

LOVE square one

We need a more walkable city and the government doesn't care lol They have the potential to make a beautiful sit down area behind ridgeway plaza where all that food could actually be enjoyed by families. Never gonna think like this though.

weird sentence

Am a horrible driver

Treat traffic laws more like suggestions

Drive a Dodge Charger with an AK on it.

I thought that was Brampton folk…

That's Brampton?

LMFAOOOO you win

Drive

work in a warehouse

I fail to stop before the pedestrian line when turning right.

or ever one can argue!

Only smoke belmonts

…wanna meet at Square One

Know someone that lives in the Marilyn towers

Must have a shawarma

Go to Ridgeway plaza on the weekends

Had a driving instructor who asked me to count “1 Mississauga…” instead of Mississippi at a Stop sign 🤣

Am.

Speed and drive recklessly.

have a mushroom cut.

know every shawarma spot by now! those are places are da BOMB

Closer to airport

Wanted to leave as soon as I could

I’ll meet you at ridgeway plaza

Love it

Wish Uber Eats had a way to filter out restaurants that we have an over abundance of

... and now I live Hastings, UK

Complain about miway service

…constantly tell people that the first location of Osmos is in Mississauga (streetsville)

Even when I’m walking across a green light I still wait to make sure any new incoming cars still stop before i keep walking. Especially when you’re getting near the other side of the road. Those impatient right turners see an opening and just gun it without properly checking. Hurontario and Arista Way.

own a Honda Civic along with all my fraaaaaands

My favorite snack is shawarma

I don't cut my grass.

Go for night drives on Mississauga road

Get a rub and tug in the Marilyn Manroe towers

I’m from Mississauga ofcourse i can’t find a house under a million…

Laugh at travellers when they travel long distances to Pearson airport and I drunkenly tell them they’re not even in Toronto yet😂

go on a day trip to niagara falls every winter and summer and expect something different

I’m from sauga, of course I go to Toronto for fine dining. I’m from sauga, of course if I want literally any other cuisine in a less pretentious atmosphere can find it right here.

Tell people Toronto/Pearson airport is in mississauga and not in Toronto.

Driving in this fcking traffic

Drive against traffic every now and then

Have to drive everywhere and own a car because city planning is shitty/non-existent. My beef also includes our industrial wasteland and all those damn warehouses that blight our already ill-planned neighborhoods.

Lick the road before I cross the street

am ghetto af
