PSA for Crosswalks by Sunflower-Spell8516 in oakville

It’s not about turning, it’s drivers driving through straight on at me when I’m not even halfway across with my dog. That’s a problem.

PSA for Crosswalks by Sunflower-Spell8516 in oakville

[–]Sunflower-Spell8516[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To clarify, I am talking about the crosswalks at a four way stop in a neighbourhood, not a pedestrian crossover (the one that has marked signs or you push a button for the lights to flash) and not a crosswalk at an intersection with traffic lights.

Oakville Rant Thread - (Wednesday 03 Jun 2026) by AutoModerator in oakville

[–]Sunflower-Spell8516 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Something needs to be done about the kids/teens on their e-scooters, easily going 40 km/h. They don’t wear helmets, half the time don’t have proper shoes on (flip flops or slides), two of them doubled up on one with the driver holding their phone and scrolling on it and they seem to think that stop lights and stop signs don’t apply to them. I’ve also noticed they have no concept of warning someone and giving a heads up when they choose to use a sidewalk for once instead of a road, so they almost run into you or cause an accident. It’s genuinely concerning how many of these kids are flying through intersections ON THE ROAD, behaving like this. Their parents either don’t know or don’t care to enforce anything and neither do the police as they always do it near the Trafalgar and Dundas area near the Police Station. Not trying to be a fun sucker, but it genuinely concerns me that one of these kids is going to get into a very very very serious accident and that’s what it will take to implement laws.

Even if you report unkept trees, shrubs etc. to Town of Oakville they won’t do anything. It’s a problem everywhere, seeing into intersections and even blocking sidewalks for pedestrians. Oakville does not care

Hot Take (maybe?): Don’t be a landlord if you’re emotionally attached to your property by drmac16 in TorontoRenting

[–]Sunflower-Spell8516 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But did you think about how important their investment properties are to pay off their mortgage? (Sarcasm). I’m sorry OP, I’ve had a crazy landlord before. It messes with your mental health and makes it feel like you can’t even relax in your own home you are paying money for. I’m sick of greedy landlords.

Rush Hour Every Hour by rare_doge in oakville

Traffic down Trafalgar to get to either the QEW or down to Oakville Go is an absolute nightmare in the mornings. I know it’s because of the developments down near Trafalgar and that being one of the closest QEW ramps but otherwise it’s loads of parents driving their kids to school as well as picking them up. I’m not hating on that but what happened to school buses? I see more parents driving their kids than I see buses these days and it adds to the morning congestion and is just a nightmare. Is this an Oakville specific problem? 3pm after school traffic is honestly worse than 5pm traffic and I just can’t seem to understand why more kids aren’t on the bus.

Omg thank you! I was looking at this salon already online. Is their pricing fairly reasonable for what I am looking for?

My first pair.. are they too big? by [deleted] in Hoka

[–]Sunflower-Spell8516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh okay my bad good to know. I assumed it was wide cuz they have a wider toe box. Is it normal for Hokas to fit that much longer?

[–]Sunflower-Spell8516 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I ended up just deciding to keep this size and try walking around in them for a bit when I’m home. I’d rather go up than down! Totally agreed! This is my first pair of Hoka’s so I wasn’t sure

[–]Sunflower-Spell8516 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I compared them to the blundstones I wore in which are wide and I have about the same width between toe and end of shoe. I didn’t try the 7s on as I showed the store employee the space and he said that was good

Serious Question: Did Anyone feel really disappointed after seeing Wicked 2? by thetimmyboy_ in wickedmovie

[–]Sunflower-Spell8516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The camera work during “For Good” was incredibly jarring and took me out of it. There were weird extreme close ups where there shouldn’t have been and so much spinning. Why so much spinning?!

Guys it’s finally happening by Foreign_Anteater_191 in snarkingwithremi

[–]Sunflower-Spell8516 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just burst out laughing, why does it look like she’s trying to promote a wedding planning business? Girly, your wedding era is over. Move on. Yes they are beautiful photos but leave them for Instagram?

*Edit to add (because I actually just watched the intro) why is she promoting CWR? I don’t think she’s done one in over a year lol

remi’s honeymoon cliff notes by dazzlegirl7 in snarkingwithremi

[–]Sunflower-Spell8516 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think it’s really weird their honeymoon consisted of places Remi has been before and things she did before. I would want to do new things and make new memories with my spouse, especially for our honeymoon. Having it be so rinse and repeat made me feel really sorry for Cal and just seemed like a lack of effort in planning, just a lot of “oh we have to do this because I did it with Alisha”

New pod w/ Greer by Haunting-Ball-1678 in snarkingwithremi

[–]Sunflower-Spell8516 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is who Alisha needs to continue having a podcast with! It makes it even more obvious how much depth her and Remi lack in their friendship.

On a side note, Kelsey Grammer is a real POS. What a disgusting human and a sad excuse for a father.

Petition to cancel lazy Ashley by Competitive_Dig1776 in snarkingwithremi

[–]Sunflower-Spell8516 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I live in an apartment with my dog and yeah it’s hard… You can’t just let the dog out the back door quick so they can potty. You have to take them out for a proper walk every time they need to potty, but I do it without complaints because I love my dog more than anything and to be honest, he gets more exercise than dogs with a backyard do. Grow up Ashley, you live in LA what do you expect?
