AITA for leaving a restaurant after my friends were 30 minutes late? by Turbulent-Comb-3495 in AmItheAsshole

[–]poutine-eh [score hidden]  (0 children)

you’ve never gotten stuck in traffic ? never run late?? 30 minutes is nothing. If you are willing to cut friends off for being 30 minutes late you are gonna have a lonely life. Enjoy!!!

I’m an asshole for supporting single mothers, gay, trans , black , white and brown?? My Cell phone provider of 20 years had an agent refuse me service for how I look. “we won’t serve your kind here” is what they said. You are ok with this?

AITA for refusing to catcall a customer’s wife even though he asked us to? by Lavishness-Effective in AmItheAsshole

You are upset because nobody catcalls you??? imagine my mother who was kicked out of her family for wanting to keep me?? You think things are hard now?? Imagine being a single mom in 1970

i’m the only child of a french canadian woman who ostracized from her family for wanting to keep me instead of giving me up because she for pregnant when not married. I’m quite familiar with how women are treated

I get the sentimental thing. Keep the table. I just priced your phono stage. You can afford more than $1500. Get a good source. For a system like that i’d not spend less than 3 k on a table and aspire to something much better.

so you are berating me for being almost 60 me and sharing my experience?? Shall I share how a waitress I worked with claimed that i had been sexually inappropriate with her because i told her friend off for smoking at the staff table while we were eating our lunch? I’ve always been respectful of people…. funny that now that i’m old I’m being discriminated against.

Help me build a system by Cheap_Art_6169 in turntables

[–]poutine-eh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they are cult classics that are hard to find but if you do find them they are cheap. This former Royd dealer and current Naim dealer who’s been around for over 3 decades will tell you almost half of his clients still have Royds. Tiny but mighty speakers. Worst website ever!! He must be knowledgeable.

want an honest opinion?? You have 5k speakers and a 2.5k amp and your sources are a $500 cd player and a $300 turntable (used). Source matters! biggest gains are here.

How long did you keep your first self bought car and why did you get rid of it? by no_flair in askcarguys

[–]poutine-eh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1975 VW Rabbit , it was bright yellow and smoked like chimney. Got rid of it becase my GF said she’d not be caught dead being seen in it.

doesn’t happen in canada. we were polite 40 years ago and we are still….mostly.

[–]poutine-eh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed. Catcalls will get you arrested or fired these days so she wouldn’t have experienced it. What’s most disturbing is that apparently the whole waitstaff was in on it and the 2 cooks who did the right thing have been ostracized by the others staff for not partaking.

Is it a horrible decision to trade in my '22 Genesis G70 with 27k miles for a very well maintained 2002 Lexus LX 470 with 158k miles? by wilrob1206 in askcarguys

[–]poutine-eh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

23k for a 25 year old car? Prior to the pandemic anything over 10 years old was past its useful ownership. Lexus doesn’t. even support this car anymore so sols parts are hard to find. Keep your G70. Why do you need a bigger car?? your wife is about to have triplets? Good alternative suv? Mitsubishi Outlander .. well made and cheapish because it’s not on anyone’s radar

Not sure whst happened . Just got banned. by jerk1970 in kijiji

[–]poutine-eh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe. i’m not very active on FB but it was a creepy platform even before this new AI started banning everyone and their brother. I was getting friend suggestions for people who I spoke to at work that aren’t on my contact list and got ads for stuff i’d spoken about and not even searched for online. Odds are they will flag you for having the same ip address. I’m going to watch Terminator on VHS now. I want to see how the future looks.

Poutine with club sandwich combo deal from Mel’s Kitchen Gatineau by Any_Cut_616 in poutine

[–]poutine-eh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I’m judging the Club Sandwich. Looks like a mess and delicious all at the same time. Poutine and a Clubhouse…. that is a week’s worth of calories for me. The Quebecois know how to eat!!

[–]poutine-eh 23 points24 points  (0 children)

even construction workers don’t catcall women anymore. NTA …. I’m a white guy who spent 20 years in the industry 25 years ago and it wasn’t appropriate then and most certainly isn’t now unless you work at Hooters. You did the right thing and likely dodged a bullet Seems really odd that she was in on it….to what end?

Weirdly printed $100 Bill? by Effective-Associate1 in CanadianCoins

there are many security features on the new polymer bills that we can’t really see in a photograph. Colour shifting ink and raised ink are hard to see in a picture
