You Know What Really Grinds My Gears....The Sequel!

[Regular_John]

My one busy body neighbour who's convinced our complex is simply a hot spot for crime. Any time she catches you in the parking lot she's got some new tail of criminals prowling our complex 24/7.

If Shaw or Telus is ringing door bells to upsell cable she's convinced the sales people are making notes on which doors went unanswered so they can come back and rob us during the day. Her newspaper went missing (never mind that it's the long weekend and probably wasn't published) so make sure all your valuables on your patio are locked up.

Never mind that the CPS crime map shows zero reported incidents at our complex in the last 6 month, no no, we're living in an absolute hot bed of crime.

Door to Door salesmen!

4 different people knocked on my door this weekend trying to sell me s**t.
S***w off! If I wanted some no-name security system or energy provider,
I'd look them up my self!

The only acceptable reason to go door to door is if you are a kid doing team
or charity fundraising!

Bikers doing 180 down Deerfoot, swerving in and out of lanes without signalling.

People who wear earbuds/headphones on the train and bop their heads to the music. Ok I get you have a party going on in your headwith your cool Beats by Dre headphones, but you look like a tool bopping your head to the music while everyone stares at you.

Still better than those who wear the horrid Apple earbuds that might as well be a portable stereo with the amount of sound they leak...

Could be a mentally ill person. That's kind of an extreme jump, but I also have a little old asian lady neighbor who tells me similar things, asks me about some guy who apparently slanders her online, says the planes flying overhead are watching her, stuff like that. Other than that she seems relatively normal, but the things she says leads me to believe theres something not right there.

But in going to replace the hooks with the proper size ones, all I can find are the smaller diameter hooks! I've looked everywhere, they're all "made for both 1.8" and 1/4" holes" which is BS, because they don't fit the 1/4" holes.

Would probably just be easier to replace the pegboard with the stuff with 1/8" holes, but nooo, nobody sells that!

Use a hot glue gun, and put a dab on after you put in hook in the desired location. Of course this is somewhat permanent.

edit: sorry I read that as the hooks were too small, disregard this.

F-in awesome! Hopefully these start becoming more common in our city to shut up those "wahhh, slower traffic keep right signs are only on highways in the country, not the city. You guys are wrong if you think slower traffic should keep right in the city limits. I'm perfectly fine driving in the left lane and holding up the guy behind me" ######s.

What constitutes 'slower traffic'?

Agreed. All earbuds should be like this, where not only is the sound sealed in but the sound quality is 10x better.

STARS new helicopter (AW139) is just as loud as their older BK117's. Woke me up last night.

sub 70 km/hr is a good starting place I would suggest.

You should've went in the old days when there was contact allowed. what those girls did to peoples ties, as in suit and tie, was quite hilarious.

I have a nick on the end of my middle finger that is about 2 mm long. Every time I think it is closed and gtg, I go golfing and it opens up again, this has been happening for about 2 weeks. I played golf horribly yesterday because just as I was about to hit the ball my brain sends a distress signal down to my finger to tell it to take evasive action, then my hand will angle itself to avoid any more pain.
Anyone know where I can get a finger transplant by tomorrow? or even a bionic finger or replaceable appendages for hands?

Doesn't make sense though, swallow off.

It is designed to be relative rather than absolute on purpose.

If you are going 70 and come up in someone going 60 in the right lane, move into the left to pass him (then move back to the right).

If you are going 110 in the left lane and someone comes up behind you going faster, then YOU are the slower traffic, so you move to the right.

The key is to move into the right lane unless you are passing.

It is a very simple system that gets ruined by holier-than-thous policing the left lane by going slow and jackoffs who just want to drive in the left lane the entire time.
