Strolling down a beautiful Mexican beach enjoying the day, the beer and all the scenery and driving your toe into an unnoticed mostly buried piece of rock breaking a toe. Rest of this trip is bound to be extra hard on my liver.

Paramount/Spike/TNN channel....can they really not find sponsors? Same 3-4 commercials played over and over and over and over.....I tune in on Sundays to watch the car stuff, but the commercial breaks are making me insane....

The channels are all the same with their advertising. With my retired time, I am going to watch a full newscast and actually time how much time out of the hour is devoted to advertising.

Companies that don’t relay any communications to their drivers. I had a truck call me last night wanting to drop an excavator off in our yard and another this morning. I had no prior notice of this happening. So he was told he can drop them off Monday during normal business hours like he was supposed to originally.

An hour long show will have about 15-18 minutes of advertising time.

Well I have a rant. I’ve been fighting with Telus basically for 3 months. Paying for features and not getting them such as pvr and certain channels. I’m a big sports fan so I gotta tell you it was tough. But on Friday I called them and told them to shut er off. Come get there boxes and clickers cause there on the front step. Felt good. Spring is FINALLY here so the kids, wife and I will be outside anyways but wow. I don’t know if I ever once talked to someone in Canada. Real disappointing.

I went to an Android box 1.5 years ago and haven't looked back.
When I think about having spent well over $30,000 for TV the last 25 years or so it makes me sick.

Any one have a GFL garabage bin and see they raised rates 25% thinking of telling them to shove it, go to town most days any way to drop garabage off at transfer station.

Put together the kids springless trampoline last night. Took one of the fibreglass glass rods so hard to my gut I had to take a walk so the neighbors wouldn’t call social services on me as I was gonna go have a meltdown.

Pulling into a gas station with multiple open pumps, only to find a powered vehicle blocking the only diesel pump.

Or some douche canoe walking their dog or screwing around in the store while their vehicle blocks the pump, with a line up of cars behind them....

Coop in Leduc I pull up the the diesel pump there’s a small car parked there no hose into the car, so I figure he’s done pumping and will be right out after he’s done paying. All the other pumps are full. I sit there waiting and waiting then buddy comes out of the liquor store next do to the gas station! Then buddy pops the trunk throws his case of beer in the trunk, then starts walking into the gas station to pay for his gas! I rolled my window down and asked him very nicely to move his pos of car out of the way!

Been there! 2 diesel pumps and 6 other gas pumps at the Petro near my place and most times some idiot is sitting at the D pump filling with gas. The station has an A&W attached and more than once I have been there when the guy then proceeds to walk around and go get his burger before moving. Lost my sh*t on a couple of them....
