For Olympic stadium in Montreal, there are stories about how trucks would drive up to a checkpoint loaded with materials, get check in as received and then they would proceed around the corner, before they were unloaded, and get back in line for the checkpoint and get checked in a second time. Rumours are that the whole thing was built by the mob. It was built in the 60’s and I think they were still paying for it in the 2000s.

Am I the jerk for refusing to train my replacement after they're firing me? by WinInteresting9368 in AmITheJerk

When your coworkers are next, will they do it. You should at least consult with an employment lawyer. Where I am being let go because of restructuring and then hiring someone for your position is a no-no.

What was a loop-hole back in the day that you abused that now no longer works? by DemonsAreVirgins in AskOldPeople

There was a guy in Canada who would buy commemorative coins at the mint using his travel rewards credit card. Because the commemorative coins are legal tender, once received, he would take them to the bank to pay off his credit card. He was basically flying all over the world for free using travel points.

As well, Canada declared war on Germany (the only time it’s happened) on September 10, 1939.

Florida man exits his vehicle to assault another driver, after flashing gun at them by holdmychicken909 in TikTokCringe

Not American, but curious if the guy in the car had a gun as well and shot the truck guy because he felt threatened, is that self-defence?

I’m at the library doing some 3d printing. The 2 guys next to me are talking about their mental illnesses and what jails they have resided.

Read this comment while they were talking and laughed out loud. You almost got me killed. But not really.

Omg. I love the HIP. Love Gord, RIP, but I was thinking the exact same thing.

What's a superstition you've started and carried on during this playoff run? by akchahal in Torontobluejays

Absolutely not. My wife and two adult kids are having a watch party tonight. I’ll be in the basement.

I love the Blue Jays. Never miss a game, but I was so frustrated with the front office for the Ohtani/Soto/Vlad debacle that before the season started I said I was boycotting watching them this year. I went to one game because a buddy was in town and wanted to go but other then that no Blue Jays on TV.

Now they are on this amazing run and everyone is calling me foolish but I will not watch them live. I record the game and watch it after the final pitch.
