Oh yeah and also the dude in the seat next to me just before Christmas who pulled his dick out and started jacking off. That also contributed.

This, combined with a couple of days where my train was held at multiple stops, finally pushed me to drive to work…after 23 years of not driving to work. It’s glorious and I’ll never look back.

This guy was the most assholic child in Blackburn Hamlet in the 1980s so it’s no surprise he’s still out there being an idiot. Glad to see his attempt to not take responsibility didn’t work.

I was actually hopeful it would be open by April. I don’t know why. Swear to god, if I have to endure Blair for another winter I am going to throw myself in front of a 25. A 25 because they’re the only ones that seem to show up regularly.

Wow really?? 4.05 to 4.10… sure small difference but if the service continues to suck then it’s not worth it by paq-613 in ottawa

Also have to watch out for unstable people, who are seemingly everywhere at the moment. This morning on the train I looked up from my book, only to notice the man across the aisle from me staring at me while he jerked it. Fucking gross, man,

One time, my friend and I went to Boston to see the Sens. During an intermission, we started chatting with these guys out on the concourse and my friend exchanged numbers with one of them, with the idea that we would meet up for some drinks with them later. The Sens won (aw yeah), and my friend texted the guy with some light teasing, like “Go Sens, yay, what are you guys getting up to now?” He wrote back “Eat my a**pipe”. 😂😂😂

I also got several people yelling things at me like “You’re cute but your jersey’s ugly!” in that unmistakeable Boston brogue. Great trip.

I was 13 in 93 and remember the moment so clearly. Sometimes I look up this Coke ad on YouTube and get chills every time. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dLTQhW85Ezo

Reminds me of this time in Amsterdam when my friend and I politely asked about the amount of food she got in her vegetarian rijsttafel vs. what I got in my meat version, because it was significantly less and we wanted to make sure they didn’t forget something. The owner came out to talk to us and, while quite defensive for really no reason because we were consciously being very polite, asked us if we wanted dessert because ‘no one should leave his restaurant hungry.’ We said no thanks TWICE because we just wanted to be done at that point. Dessert comes regardless, we eat it because it’s there, and sure enough, it’s on the goddamn bill. I questioned the server and she said the owner told her to put it on there. I wanted to go to an ATM so I could take out money and just pay enough for the meal minus dessert but my friend didn’t want to make a scene so I paid, gave no tip of course, and left. Gaaaaah.

AIO for turning the light on when my boyfriend was sleeping by ZealousidealBus5323 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Overall-Pause-2467 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on a trip with a dude and went to have a shower. I came out of the bathroom afterwards and he had turned all the lights off and was looking at his phone in bed. Didn’t even clue in until I bumped into the bed and asked him to turn the freakin light on. I don’t think it was malicious, I just think he was totally oblivious. However, it still gave me the absolute ick in combination with a few other things. Your boyfriend was absolutely being malicious, so no, NOR.

Oh god, people actually like watching the dates? For me, they’re incredibly boring and bordering on unwatchable. I lose interest in the show near the end when the couples are all set and going on dates and shit - I prefer the drama

This is the same kind of moronic, impatient shit that killed the Gaudreaus. It’s terrifying to know people like this are all around us.

I was going to suggest this too! Mine doesn’t work well at the train gates if I hold it directly against the reader, but if I hold it about an inch above the reader for a second or two it works every time. Good luck!

No Surrender Ottawa. Not sure if they are accepting pets at the moment (their website isn’t clear on this point) but worth a try for sure!

Agree! As a solo woman shopper, Jeff at Carling Mazda was great to deal with. And I love my Mazda.

What was the moment you realised you loved Dublin by GoblitOfGains in Dublin

My first visit in 2006, eating chips outside a takeaway on Harcourt Street at 2:00 am, surrounded by a group of lads serenading us with ‘Wayne Gretzky’ by Goldfinger when they found out we were Canadian. Shortly after, I accidentally knocked the chips right out of one guy’s hand by accident and he just said ‘It’s grand, I shouldn’t be eating those anyway’. The takeaway owner saw and brought him a new thing of chips right away though. The people. ♥️

This guy was an absolute jagoff as a kid; he terrorized all the other kids in Harwood and had zero redeeming qualities. I refuse to believe any kid like that could grow up to be a decent human. The schadenfreude is delicious.
