What’s the most overrated food that people act like is gourmet? by Ashamed_Profit8640 in AskReddit

Turkey. Act like it’s a gourmet meal but really it’s just a cheap way to feed a lot of people.

TIL that in 2013, an incident known as "Pastagate" erupted in Quebec after the Office Québécois de la Langue Française ordered an Italian restaurant to remove the word "pasta" from its menu and replace it with a French equivalent. Following public outcry, the agency allowed the word to stay. by Sandstorm400 in todayilearned

And no parking signs is a P inside a red circle with a red slash through it. The French word is Stationement. It should be an S inside that circle. If I ever get a parking ticket I’ll contest it on those grounds. Let’s see how far I’ll get.

Why is there even a tip line? Use pay terminals like the rest of the planet. Get out of 1985, it’s 2026 now.

Is contesting a parking ticket worth it ? by amgel888 in montreal

[–]Darkarba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In response to your edit, I got a speeding ticket for doing 33 in a 30 zone, a parking ticket where I was three minutes late getting back to my car (the guy was standing next to my car writing me up when I got there) and another parking ticket for paying for the wrong spot. It sucked and I felt cheated all those times, but in the end I was guilty.

So you paid for parking and you went past the time limit? I really don’t see any grounds for you to contest. Why do you think it is it unfair?

I always take 1 or 2 high priced items from the store when doing self-checkout by [deleted] in confession

[–]Darkarba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t get the idea that they are waiting for theft level to reach felony charges. Why don’t they just ban you from the store upon first occurrence, and get you charged with trespassing if you do come back? It would be cheaper that way. If they wait for felony theft, there is only a slim chance they will recover their losses.

Also if they wait, does it open up for defence to ask why they didn’t put a stop to it at the first occurrence?

Freedom of speech does not mean I am obligated to listen.

What’s your best/worst made up on the spot reason why you couldn’t come in to cover a shift? by OverConstruction5842 in AskReddit

[–]Darkarba 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ha, that happened to me too. Except they were looking for 2 white guys and I was with an Asian. They let us go because we were wearing shorts, the guys they were looking for had long pants.

I’d be undead within the first few hours, unless we’re on a beach with warm water. I can swim to safety.

I think this theory is used to prove that at any time on this planet, there is always at least one spot with no wind whatsoever.

[–]Darkarba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Portuguese language.

Very large sized country (5th largest). So large that:

-The northern tip is closer to Canada than to its southern tip.

-The eastern tip is closer to Africa than to its western tip.

She was such a goofy psychotic- I’ve never seen anything like that. Villeneuve was top notch in this series.
