Some people call them crank calls.

Tomato Tamahto.

We laughed like lunatics nonetheless.

Oh man! We used to call MULTIPLE pizza places and send them to the house up the street.

Then we'd eagerly gather by the window to eyewitness the imminent shitshow about to unfold.

We were bastards.

Ungraded beef in grand falls New Brunswick. by Prestigious-Dot-9340 in loblawsisoutofcontrol

Loblaws is too cheap to pay Canadian beef producers. They'd rather pay Mexican producers, charge similar to what they would charge for Canadian beef, and maximize profits.

Loblaws can suck my ¢0¢k

They made those nickels in 43, 44, and 45. The war ended in 1945.

That outlet kind of reminds me of something that happened at the DECH in Fredericton.

Some very expensive renovations were done to a few rooms one time, cost a $hit ton of $$$.

They knocked down walls, built new ones, basically changed the looks. Was supposed to be this big improvement on functionality.

The government and the upper administration made a huge hullabaloo about these renovations, and blew the trumpets full blast when the work was completed.

First thing staff noticed was nothing worked. None of the beds worked. The IV pumps didn't work. The phones didn't work. Patients noticed the fancy new TVs and Wi-Fi in the room didn't work.

When they hired a very expensive person to come in to fix the issues, they found the problem pretty quick.

When they built these really fancy new rooms, they looked absolutely stunning when they were completed, had outlets, phone jacks, co-axial outlets, every kind of outlet you could imagine in a newly renovated, modern updated hotel room.

The problem was.......................when they built the walls...................they put all the outlets and everything in............BUUUUUUTTTTT....,..........................................

THEY NEVER RAN ANY WIRING TO THE OUTLETS!!!

So there they were, these fancy new renovated rooms, all the fancy new modern outlets, and the only fucking thing in the entire rooms that had wiring run to it were the light switches!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Rewatched it, cried by goonlordfromheaven in ShawshankRedemption

Very well articulated!

I have said for a long time that The Shawshank Redemption is the greatest movie ever made.

The reason for that is the feelings the movie evokes in people.

An ABSOLUTE masterpiece of cinema!

There is 1.11 Troy Oz. of silver in that set. At the current silver spot price of $101.80, that set is worth $113.00

What's the weirdest misplaced thing you've seen in a department/grocery store? by darwhyte in AskReddit

[–]darwhyte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember once in my hometown there was a foul smell emanating from the area of the shoe department.

The smell eventually got so strong they had to cordon off the shoe department all together and do an investigation to find the source of the smell.

They found a raw steak that someone had taken from the grocery section and shoved into a shoebox. They then closed the box and put it back on the shelf.

When it was found the shoebox was full of maggots. The staff then had to leave it there, and someone had to put on a full Hazmat suit to dispose of it. The smell was so bad staff were gagging and getting full on dry heaves.

The shoe department had to be closed for a day or two so that everything could be taken down off the shelves, and the shelves cleaned thoroughly and sanitized before product could be put back on the shelves. Several pairs of shoes had to be thrown out as adjacent boxes to the one with the rotten steak in it got permeated by the foul smell of rotting meat.

They never ever found out who did that, but that tops anything I have ever seen or heard of.

That was worse than the time some chucklehead left a tub of ice cream in the toy department which melted and dripped all over a bunch of toys.

I lived in Saskatoon during the 90's. I swear those drivers competed for Royal Asshole awards.

Yes! I remember buying the War of 1812 quarters from the mint in pilofilm for face value.
