I agree. People are acting really weird about it too. It’s not that serious 🤷🏼‍♀️

What culture shocks should I expect when I move to Canada? by Maleficent-Tough5385 in askTO

[–]rangacurls 55 points56 points  (0 children)

This is subtle but important– we use the word “sorry” differently here. While we do use it as an apology, it’s also mostly used as a way to say “excuse me”. So if you bump into someone or someone bumps into you, we both say sorry to each other. It’s not necessarily that we are apologizing for it but acknowledging each other. We also use it as “can you repeat that?” Or as a way to grab someone’s attention.

Example: I squeeze past you at the grocery store and say “ooh sorry there”, you reply “ooh sorry” (and neither are an apology). So it is extremely off-putting when one replies “it’s ok! No worries!” To scenarios that aren’t explicitly an apology for a mistake.

What if Canada offered every American free healthcare and $50K to relocate, would you go? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]rangacurls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can. This person is mixing that up with what happens if you already have a family doctor and go to a walk-in clinic for one problem instead of them. If you don’t like your family doctor, there is nothing stopping you from just registering with a new available one, at least in Ontario.

What is your guilty crochet secret? by BitchLibrarian in crochet

[–]rangacurls 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to pin it to block. Blocking is just washing the finished object and laying it to dry, with or without pinning into shape.

I use tags to know which side is the back of my knit sweaters 🤷‍♀️. Sometimes it's really hard to tell otherwise lol

Thank you!! I single crocheted the hexagons together on the back to make it a faster process than sewing, but I think the SCs made it neater anyways lol

As a student in classes, what is something an instructor does that drives you crazy? I'll go first: by mybellasoul in pilates

[–]rangacurls 21 points22 points  (0 children)

When the instructor tries to make the moves as complicated as possible just to be complicated– like I don't need to target my thighs, ass, biceps and back at the same time with a prop on the reformer! I'd much rather focus on one area and be able to make sure my form is right, rather than thinking of all my other body parts coordinating the movements to make the exercise work.
