Was driving to work this morning on hiway 2 going northbound. 5:40 am so it’s dark. All of a sudden there’s headlights coming towards me heading south on the northbound lane. Flashed my lights and he flashed his back. Called 911 and I guess they were tracking this guy. Hopefully nobody died.

We must live on the same street. We have a guy that has an old suburban that he has to gun it as fast as he can down our street. For one fricken block, then he has to stop and turn left.

going to a self checkout and the employee jumps in to help.......if I wanted help I would have gone to the regular check out.......or worse, places like Home Depot where the only thing open is the self check outs but they have 4 people standing there ready to jump in and start scanning........FFS

Funny you say home depot. I was there yesterday and seen someone in front of me buy a bunch of small items. The employee asked if he wanted a bag, he said yes. She handed him the bag and had to pack it himself. I thought why didn't you just go to the self serve

this morning I went and grabbed some stuff for work. the lady came over jumped between me and the till. proceed to count everything that I already knew the quantity of. didn't bother asking how I wanted to pay and hit pro-extra and walked away so my contractors card wouldn't work and wouldn't let me back out of it so she had to wait for her to finish up with the other guy who's morning she was plucking up to enter her ID to get me back out to the pay screen........ffs

Might as well have a person working the till then.

I ended up with free tooth brushes the other day from shoppers. By mistake, but oh well good deal. 👍

they can also do that just by watching me.....or working the regular tills. I understand why but at the same time just don't understand why. if theft is the reason do like Canadian tire and remove the self check outs. at least then I go into it knowing I have to interact with someone instead of avoiding all human contact.

The stupidity of some people still amazes me. I was in the post office to pick up a package today. The person in front of me wanted to mail a cell phone somewhere. The lady at the till told him to buy post office cardboard BOX, because it would be cheaper and safer. He bought the box, then she had to help him put it together. Then he need tape to keep it closed. He bought a roll of packing tape. She had to go in the back for some reason and told him to tape it closed. He proceeded to tape up the box like it was a hockey stick. Around and around the box he went. She came back and ask why the tape was all sticky. The fcukn moron some how got the sticky side of the tape outwards. Also this idiot put some much tape on the package that the scanner couldn't read the barcode any more. So they had to cut away some of the tape. One guess, was he a new canadian or old???

Garbage....
People that open the door to the building garbage room but don't put their bag in the dumpsters. FFS they don't have a lid all that needs to be done is toss the bag into the bin and who doesn't tie their garbage bags closed??
And people who put their garbage out on the front steps of a rental condo and think it's ok overnight but then complain and want someone to clean it up when it's scattered all over the place in the morning.
Told a guy it was $250 for me to clean up the mess, he asked why my hourly rate was so much. Told him it's only $50/hr but there is a $200 idiot fee🤣
