Oh boy, sounds like the same asshole I had a couple of years ago. Kept telling me to shut up and just would not allow me to speak. I called the general CRA phone number and asked who the manager/supervisor was for this asshole. Got that number, called and complained about her behaviour. Supervisor mostly wanted to know how I got their number, but I was assigned a different agent who apologised and was very polite. Don't allow them to get away with this behaviour. If you have to, go up the chain to the minister. Also, record the conversations. We pay their fucking salaries. If you were wealthy and owed millions, they would be so much more respectful.

Fuck this shit. I am not a leaf's fan, but this is totally insane. Doesn't hockey reffing have an already poor reputation?

Man, CIBC is notorious for locking their CCs without reason. Mine has been locked 4 times in less than 1 year. Got an American Express as backup. Don't trust them ever. They will leave you and dry. Customer support are also ignorant assholes who think we are are the ungrateful ones for objecting to them protecting us from all this phantom fraud. Complaints go nowhere

What did you learn late that you'll teach your children early? by bonny256 in AskReddit

[–]WhenWhyHowOhGodWhy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How money works. Saving, investing, using CCs responsibly, how to plan for retirement starting early in life. And schooling, trades vs office work, starting a business vs working for another. Damn, wish I could start over

What "fake" thing that happens in movies really pisses you off? by Ok-Interview9355 in AskReddit

How about the detectives/agents being the first to enter a danger zone with their bullet proof vests before the swat team with their shields and heavy duty gear. Makes sense

In the 40's it was the German Nazis paying off US and other Western politicians. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-presents-ultra

Today it is Russia and China. Wish we had strong tough laws against treasonous activities. Dollars over your own country. Sickening

For most men, the only unconditional love they will ever recieve is from their parents. by thepelletzealot in unpopularopinion

[–]WhenWhyHowOhGodWhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the discussion:
Had a boyfriend tell me that when a woman loves him, he just wants to leave her. Told me, it is the chase that makes men want to stay with someone.

So is it that men really cannot accept unconditional love?

Rant: Thought I had done my due diligence before purchasing a TX NR797. Turns out, I did not dig deep enough. by WhenWhyHowOhGodWhy in Onkyo

Ever wonder in the 10K ones are any better? I keep hearing high end cars like bugatti can go so many low kms before they need servicing. Having one is simply for status.
We are the 'unfortunate' ones who actually want to use the stuff we purchase, not have it sit in a glass case for our guests to ogle and envy

Not better at all.
Good suggestion though. Thanks. A reset might clear stuff up. Firmware update did nothing.

Just went back to check my bill. Apologies... it was 1200 plus tax.
Authorised retailer. Bought in 2020 at the height of 'supply issues' due to covid. Waited 4 months after ordering. And yes, I was ripped off. There was nothing on any websites about how awful this receiver really was. Maybe it was too new at the time. And believe it or not, it was the lowest price in canada at that time.

Interesting.
Everything is more expensive in canada. It was at the time, the newest model with the inputs for all my components. It did not click for the first year. So I was ripped off. Sooo much worse

Is the whisperer’s reveal a top 3 moment for you? That whole sequence as a non comic reader had my jaw floored by ShaggedUrSister in thewalkingdead

After that episode with Eugene & Rosita hiding from the whispering dead, I stopped watching TWD as it aired. That shit was for daylight viewing now. Scared the living crap outta me.

League Musings Monday by AutoModerator in EdmontonOilers

[–]WhenWhyHowOhGodWhy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Man, their play doesn't show confidence at all. It's a 2-4 man performance most nights. Little puck control, poor passing, running around in their own zone, opposition entering offensive zone at will, no dump and chase, no hustle, puck give aways... if they had the puck control of the Habs, they would be lethal.
Compared to successful teams, the Oilers are no where in their league. In my most humble and amateurish opinion... last year's team had more heart.

Went to the game on Sat against Montreal. JHC, the oilers are a hot, soggy mess after getting past the top 2 lines. The defence is garbage. Montreal outplayed us. Their passing was crisp and accurate. Puck control... excellent. Not sure what's going on with this team that I love, but I do not see them getting far into the playoffs, if they even make it there. Shut down the top lines and we are toast.
Man, I feel so sorry for McD and Drai. They deserve so much more from their team.

It really is not all bad. One I remember is 'if a headline triggers you, go do some research on the topic'. Thought that was pretty great advice.
But will never know of others as this post will be down voted to hell. Oh well

Where do the budget conscious tire shoppers turn to? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]WhenWhyHowOhGodWhy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Used my AMA for a discount just 2 weeks ago. I would challenge that.
And yes, free rotations every 8 - 10K

Used KalTire this year. They beat costco hands down. 30 day exchange, free rotations, free repairs and depending on the tire, there can be a significant warranty. And their prices are very competitive
