I dont think I posted about it but this is definately my policy. Unlocked doors and leave nothing or very little in it.

I also have decided not to get mad when stuff gets stolen as over the course of my life losing 5k of stuff to theft probably isnt to big of deal and the rest you insure.

Depends where people live. I noticed a few beltline residents follow this policy, as drug addicts roam that area day and night, looking for ways to get drug money, and they're probably better off for doing it. Driver side windows are pricey.

Yeah, that I get, if there's nothing valuable in it. But IIRC it extended to the house doors as well. Maybe my memory's just foggy.

The gooey residue from raw butternut squash.
That crap is so annoying, get's everywhere and is way more difficult (than it should be) to wash off the cutting board and knife.

Why not just put the wallet in your front pocket? I never understood how a wallet in the rear pocket became standard for men. Uncomfortable when sitting down, more vulnerable to pick pockets, and it wears out the ass of your pants faster

Never had an issue with pickpockets or wearing out pants, but I just hate having too much stuff in my pockets, especially at work.

Maybe 'bulging' wasn't the best term, but I have a bad back and sitting on a wallet doesn't help, especially when driving

Check out the Hockey OOT threads in the Olympic subforum. Every day Tsawwassen posts all the games and what channel they can be viewed on for both Canada and the U.S.
You shouldn't be missing any games from what I can tell.

That RGMG. Or when everyone is waiting to leave the plane after it lands and people try and jump up before there turn an beat you out.. wait your damn turn and have some manners, people are getting worse, everyones in a rush to get off but everyone needs to wait there turn ffs.

The amount of threads you open and have to scroll right to read every F-ing line of every post, because some guy decided to post a massive picture.

I've literally just stopped reading threads when that happens. So annoying.

Maybe if you didn't have your seat tilted back into my lap I wouldn't have to do this.

It cramped. It sucks.

WRGMG is when people squeeze toothpaste and turn the tube into a misshapen lump of crap. It doesn't take much effort to squeeze from the back of the tube and get the most out of it.

The benefits of tapatalk lead me to have literally zero idea as to what you're talking about.

If I ever post giant images, I'm sorry.
