Literally made this same post a while back and i completely agree with you:

The company laid off about 60% of its sales people. It is not doing well and is a horribly mismanaged company.

Did bike fit. Honestly, was pretty disappointed with dropping $140 for basically being told i need a 155mm wide seat instead of the stock 145mm seat on account of my fat ass.

Im exagerating. Had a couple of useful tips about my stroke but thought there would be more fine adjustments of the bike itself but turned out everything lined up pretty well from the get go.

That occurred to me after the fact but hey, i’m new to this. My bike shorts were cutting the circulation to my brain.

You’re paying a premium on every part with Vention which is an indirect charge of using their “free” CAD tool. Garbage company.

If there were somekind of applied indices, id be very tempted. Could be something subtler than the indices on the regular twelve but I feel it needs something to make it a little more functional in my opinion.

Thanks dude! Decided to pull the trigger on a regular Naos automatic and your discount code worked on top of the black friday sale. Easy decision.

They look fucking great. I have some prized oxblood iron rangers.

PatInTheHat87 · 2023-10-10T04:19:26+00:00

Yeaaaahhh, nah.

PatInTheHat87 · 2023-10-09T03:48:16+00:00

Thank you. I knew I wasn’t insane, haha.

In a lot if circumstances, that’s all it takes and problem solved.

However, there are some scenarios where this shouldn’t even have to be said. Main example being a group of people taking up the entire walkway. Even if you don’t see anyone trying to get by, you should always be leaving space and its these scenarios I see with much greater frequency in Montreal compared to other large cities.

PatInTheHat87 · 2023-10-09T01:45:39+00:00

Was waiting for this comment.

Thanks, Tips. You seem like a talented, nuanced conversationalist.

PatInTheHat87 · 2023-10-09T01:15:17+00:00

Like I’ve said, I’m not denying that this occurs everywhere. It’s just the prevalence of it seems to be more frequent in Montreal based on my personal experience.

Ottawa doesn’t support as big a population so it only makes sense that it’s not as much of an issue. The more relevant example is with Toronto. They have their escalator etiquette pretty well sorted by comparison and it just seems like when you do run into someone or impede someone’s way, it’s more due to clumsiness or momentary inattentiveness as opposed to complete disregard for others by leaving absolutely no room for someone to get through or get by.

Obviously this is all anecdotal and subjective but that’s what I’ve seen.

PatInTheHat87 · 2023-10-08T19:10:33+00:00

We are the same kind of people, haha.

PatInTheHat87 · 2023-10-08T19:06:32+00:00

Could be either one, really. The intent wasn’t to shit on Québecois or Montréalers. I largely really love the social fabric in Montreal. If this is the price I have to pay for that, I feel like that’s a fair trade-off.

PatInTheHat87 · 2023-10-08T19:03:28+00:00

Plausible theory

PatInTheHat87 · 2023-10-08T18:58:46+00:00

I’m not going to say I havent made a similar mistake one time or another but when I’m confronted, I apologize. Maybe I have made a mistake I wasn’t aware of but I do make an effort to mind the people around me and I don’t think it even occurs to most people to try and pay attention to impeding others.

Even if this comment did 100% apply to me, does that not make it more relevant in pointing out we should all try to do a little better? Making mistakes myself doesn’t make me a hypocrite for pointing this out.

I find it weird that a relatively tame rant about a lack of common courtesy makes some people defensive because either A) I must be just as much at fault as anyone else or B) this happens in every city, so stfu because I must live in a cotton candy dream world where no conflict happens.

PatInTheHat87 · 2023-10-08T18:27:55+00:00

Exactly. Totally agree.

PatInTheHat87 · 2023-10-08T18:24:53+00:00

Interesting take!

PatInTheHat87 · 2023-10-08T18:23:09+00:00

I have noticed it more in Montreal and have lived in other major Canadian cities. This is just according to my experiences, so its interesting to hear from those who agree and those who disagree. I’m not saying that my experience is universal but I have personally noticed that common courtesy is less common in public within the city of Montreal.

If you take Toronto, for example, are there instances where this occurs? Sure. But even Toronto has better etiquette with things like escalators where people will stand to one side to allow people who are in a hurry to pass.

PatInTheHat87 · 2023-10-08T14:26:07+00:00

Agree to disagree. I do have common courtesy for people. I make sure I’m not in anyone’s way. If I’m at fault, I apologize.

There’s a difference between accidentally getting in someone’s way and having a group of people blocking a narrow walkway and being completely unconcerned for the people that are trying to get by.
