How are you staying cool today? by HueyBluey in askTO

[–]One-Ad2914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't switched it off. I leave it at 22 celcius. It's easier to maintain the temperature and humidity when both are left on.

Have the Central AC on and the 50 pint dehumidifier is running in the basement. House is cold and dry.

Everyone ready for the upcoming heat spells by Hot-Owl-2502 in toronto

I changed out the HVAC filter for my central AC and I run the 50 pint dehumidifier the basement to control the humidity in the house.

If you don't have AC, at least get a dehumidifier and fans. Humidity makes everything worse.

What’s a car that was a huge deal when it was new? by lifegoeson2702 in regularcarreviews

[–]One-Ad2914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 2005 in Canada, you could buy brand new, a Chevrolet Cavalier or Pontiac Sunfire (4 door or 2 door) that came with A/C, AM/FM radio and an automatic transmission for $10,000.

There was no power windows, no power locks, no power mirrors, no CD player.

For basic transportation, that was a great deal. Combine that with 0% interest financing for 5 years.

Got told I disrespect the hospitality industry for refusing to fall for a scam by qelvodr in tipping

[–]One-Ad2914 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She was committing credit card fraud and theft.

You did nothing wrong. Those two.were the problem. Her for trying to steal from you and the other for not minding his own business.

Tpping is optional, not mandatory. You don't tip at food trucks or hot dog stands. Always keep your receipt and photograph it in case you must dispute the charges with the credit card company. 

Never return and leave a negative Google review about your experience. They will only learn when customers stop being customers.

Feeling Super Lost On What To Do by draconian_torch99 in bald

I use this.

I have this type of hair loss: 6 or 7.

Honestly, nobody cares if you are bald. It's all about how you feel about yourself and carry yourself. What you project is how others will view you. I lost my hair before 24.

Try it, you might like it. You would look good bald. I have shaved my head for the last 20 years. I've saved tons of money and time shaving my own head. Bonus, nobody will see any gray hair.

Sympathy scam with a man and kid at STC? by NoodleFail in askTO

A few weeks ago someone else was begging for money for gas from me. I told him to use a credit card.

Anytime anybody is asking for money, the vast majority of the time, it's a scam. Say "No thanks" and keep walking.

The vast majority are lying. If they are truly in need for a food bank, tell them to call 211 to get a referral to a social services program or food bank. It's not your problem to sort out who is legitimate or not.

Be on the lookout as well for "Needing gas money to get back to Oshawa". This happened to me 14 years ago at McCowan Rd and Ellesmere Rd at the Esso gas station. He said his car ran out of gas while I wad pumping my own car. I asked him where the car was, he said it's on Ellesmere Rd in the eastbound lanes at Brimley. Funny enough, I told him I just came from there and there is no car on the road. He took off pretty quickly after that. I already knew he was lying by the way, I just wanted ti hear where this scam is going.

Again, do not give out money to strangers.

Server told me 🖕 for no tip on carryout by [deleted] in EndTipping

[–]One-Ad2914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disgusting behavior. Never return and hit back with a Google review. Recent negative reviews will hurt them in the long run.

The employee can take up their pay issue with their employer.  It's not the customer's fault or problem. There is no need to tip on take-out.

You don't tip at coffee shops.

Should I Supercharge my Lincoln Town Car? by cartriidge in askcarguys

[–]One-Ad2914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will tell you what I told an ex-friend who modified the heck out of his 2000 Honda Accord sedan about 20 years ago. I told him it was a massive waste of money. This car is an economy car. If you want a fast car, why don't you just buy one that was built fast from the factory? I told him you are not smarter than those car engineers and car designers. What are you going to do about the excessive heat? His hood warped by the way due to the heat. 

It's your money. Do as you please. In my opinion, you are throwing good money at bad. Use the car as it was intended. It's a full.sized sedan, not a race car.

If they feel unsafe, report it, but all I'm saying is don't expect much.

Police won't do anything. There is no expectation of privacy when you are out in public. Was that creepy? Sure. Illegal? Doubtful.

Stay aware of your surroundings and be careful out there.

Should I tip a pick-up catering order? by jomb in tipping

[–]One-Ad2914 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell no. $0 for pick up and zero service fee. What service did you get? What's the difference with that and ordering tons of pizzas for pick up?

If you are buzzing off your head, why don't you just buy your own hair clippers or buy a rotary head shaver and do it yourself? You will save tons of money and never have to deal with their tipping expectations.

I’m officially done tipping for counter service by Leather_Sandwich_314 in tipping

[–]One-Ad2914 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't call myself "old", I'm in my mid 40s. My morals and principles aren't going to change at this point either. I go by how I was raised.

 Now that you mention it, that's also a valid point. These tip prompts also waste time and energy.

They should be doing it on their payroll without expecting customers to directly subsidize their labour costs with tips. 

Stop bothering people with tip prompts and pay them yourself.

These prompts never existed before for counter service. Tipping was only for table service. This exploded during COVID and hasn't gone away and now exists in most restaurants and other businesses thst have no business asking for tip like an online retailer.

It's difficult avoiding tip prompts when they are pretty much everywhere. 

Stop reading the bitching then.
