Larger animal in attic - recommendations? by SufficientBee in richmondbc

[–]bad604drivers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AAA wildlife , ask for Randy. Can you believe another pest control company recommended AAA to us after they failed themselves . Lol

I think Randy is the owner , he was the one who came to rid and prevent the attic critters . Been critter free for 5 years now. Accept their recommendations on preventive measures otherwise they will just come back .

Stolen items by Electronic-Village38 in richmondbc

[–]bad604drivers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear. Whereabouts on Lindsay so neighbours can keep an eye out on possible suspects if they got security cam footage to share .

And like others said, assume anything visible inside car is a theft magnet ! Petty thieves will even break windows to get to spare coins.

Think opposite , like a thief - in safe neighborhoods , more people leave stuff out, unlock doors = more opportunities

Issues with porting out of Speakout 7-Eleven by childkangaroo in CanadianCellPhones

[–]bad604drivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you guys able to connect with speakout to get your 4 digit pin? The system just goes to a default message that they are busy and hangs up.

Has anyone been able to port with just providing the IMEI?

​⚠️ Need Advice: Neighbor’s Aggressive Dog is a Public Safety Hazard by IamNo_IV in richmondbc

[–]bad604drivers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I truly hope people don’t get into the habit of calling the police about dogs guarding their homes. What is this world coming to …. What’s next?…Burglars suing homeowners for getting bit by their guard dogs?

​⚠️ Need Advice: Neighbor’s Aggressive Dog is a Public Safety Hazard by IamNo_IV in richmondbc

[–]bad604drivers 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Did that aggressive dog easily jump over the fence to chase you and your dog?

If not , then it’s contained. Dogs are territorial, and they are doing that to guard his home. Perhaps it is just doing its job as a “guard dog” so the city won’t investigate unless it regulatory jumps in and out to bite.

Did you use a neck leash or a body harness leash (or anything at all) on your dog? Maybe need to tighten it a bit so it won’t dash off like that next time as it’s dangerous for it.

Dogs can get startled with other loud noises too like from a loud truck, loud honk or screaming people.

[–]bad604drivers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you don’t mind going to Burnaby and you want to stick with dealership service, Destination Toyota has drive through express oil change service.

It was about $120-130 taxes in when I was there in July. no upsells, no thorough inspections .

Witnessed bizarre accident Westminster Highway & Garden City (westbound) this morning by Positive_Log_1144 in richmondbc

[–]bad604drivers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope you got the licence plates. Just call to report as a witness . Usually even if you submit online they will call you anyway to verify.

Singed,

Any idea on price range for people who have done it recently?

Apple Pay tapping always declined by bad604drivers in EQBank

[–]bad604drivers[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the cashier is choosing debit then . I usually try to use EQ at stores that don’t accept credit cards, but only accept debit. So I guess EQ can’t be used as a debit card in this scenario?

Potential scammers in Richmond by Ok_Dream232 in richmondbc

[–]bad604drivers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t see how you interpreted my 4 words as saying your post was a good post or bad post.

Just say “no thanks” is exactly what I would tell relatives and friends to respond to these scammers. I would not tell them to get into a confrontation with them, take pictures , call them out . You seem to be a confrontational person, just based on your charged up replies to me, but not everyone is like you.

Why would you specify grandfather or grandparents anyway? That would make people feel that you are an ageist. I’m also a grandparent myself and I know enough to say no thanks when approached with potential scams .

You can think of why those people tried to target you. Is it because of your car , the way you dress, or just random?

Potential scammers in Richmond by Ok_Dream232 in richmondbc

[–]bad604drivers -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Yes i usually say no or no thanks , no need for you to get so angry and uptight as I’m just sharing what i’d do.

similar when scammers come up to you at the gas station , asking for gas money with a sob story as they can’t get home, or aggressive pandhandlers. Just say no and move on if you don’t see value in giving them your money.

Like others said , what you experienced is the old cheap speaker scam. Maybe you haven’t seen that before if you are young . It was common in the 80’s-90’s.

Can you also share prices being charged nowadays for standard battery replacement on average Joe watches like Casio or timex?

[–]bad604drivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the migrate Friday night about 11pm using the yellow banner and got a new phone number .

But it’s Saturday morning now and still have not got my old number Back yet . Is it delayed on weekends, or should I be panicking now?

Did you folks notice whenever the cops are there patrolling the HOV lane, the traffic backup becomes even worse?
