use the app "Gas Buddy". It sent me an notification about a day before the prices jumped. Managed to get some gas at Costco at 1.019/L.

I hope clients never change. My boss told me to go over to one of our clients today (they would be charged an hour for this - travel time and just base time of being there)...wait for it...for me to add a signature to their email on their iPad. I kid you not. That's a LOT of money to pay me to go there and do that simple, simple task. May clients never get any smarter...

People that consistently park in front of the super boxes. Yes I get that this isn't technically illegal.

At my superbox there are 1 minute parking signs up. Enough space for a car or two.

Can you edit the size directly on here?
I've posted big pics before, and usually just put spoiler tags on them when realizing they're too big. I've always wondered if you could do it right here, but never looked into it.

Good place to do it. Better than breaking tables anyway.

What RGMG is the C-train mentality during rushhour.

Take your god damn backpacks off during rushhour, and stop twisting around acting like a farking arsehole when someone bumps into you to get by.

The whole cramming into a packed train too RGMG, as you can tell the train is packed to the brim, the doors are struggling to close yet they still try to squeeze in causing more issues.

We had a backpack apologist in a thread a little while back. Their argument seems to boil down to "But if take it off, it might get wet/dirty and I can't pretend like it's not smacking that guy sitting down in the face!"

Sorry, my time is worth as much as yours. I am getting on the train when it arrives. There is always room somewhere.

Use this site that allows you to resize your image when uploading.

I'm fairly decent in Photoshop. The re-sizing isn't much of an issue.
I meant if I copied an image url into the forum, and only then noticed it was too large, if I could then use something here to make it smaller so there weren't any page hogging.

It feels wrong, because it is wrong.

I think imugr will allow resize options. Shouldn't be hot linking to an image anyway.

Get the imgur extention that week allow you to rehost with a simple option in the context menu.

Gear Grinder, people who use "it's not against the law!" as justification for their actions no matter how ######y, selfish or inconsiderate the actions may be.

Sadly this is an attitude that permeates certain photography circles (particularly online) in that "as long as it's not against the law I'm justified in taking any photo I want!" becomes a legitimate reason to take harassing photos of women/children out in public spaces.

Yes, I fully understand that the letter of the law says you can photograph whatever you want in public space and that anyone who leaves there house has given up their expectation of privacy. But it doesn't make you any less of a tool for continuing to snap photos after you've been asked to stop.

"It's not illegal!" basically becomes the adult version of "I'm not touching you! You can't do anything!" while holding your finger 2 inches away from your sibling's face.

Kijiji grinds my gears in so many ways. How about when someone agrees to meet at an approximate time, then fails to show or even contact you regarding their whereabouts? What's even worse is when you agree to meet them at a public place and then they never show up. Then there are those people who try to negotiate price on pickup, why not do that prior to meeting up? Once you travel all that way it's doubtful you're going to walk away with nothing, so I am not going to take significantly less at that point. Lowballers aren't really a problem, since they can just be ignored. It's a great site to get rid of things without having to pay fees, but damn it can be frustrating at times.

That stupid style where guys wear toques so far back on their heads that it sticks way out the back and droops down looking like a used condom. I can't even blame it solely on "kids" either, as I see guys well into their 20's and out of college working downtown doing it, it looks ridiculous. I always have this desire to slap it off their heads.

If you're wearing a hat so far back on your head that you actually still have to style and gel your hair, you're doing it wrong.
