The Airing of Grievances

[Dion]

A wish that Calgary drivers would learn how to use their turn signal. Don't cut me off and give me the finger because your too effing stupid to indicate that you want to change lanes.

People who think they can drive and talk on the cell phone at the same time. Some asshat on the weekend forgets to stop at a stop sign because he is too busy yapping on his phone.

Both will do. I will revise my grievance to the following.

If you think you can do a bang on Christopher Walken impression, and your name isn't Kevin, and your last name isn't Pollak or Spacey, you can't.

People - that had is flashing to tell you NOT to start across the intersection. But ignoring it you are not allowing traffic to flow through downtown as it should and backing things up more.

WAIT THE EXTRA 90 SECONDS FOR THE NEXT TIME YOU CAN CROSS

man, i think you would have a heart attack in a big city then. in my neighborhood flashing red means "good to go" and red means "just use caution".

Man, I could sit here and air grievances all day...But I'll just do this one, The fact that the Canadian Government ****es away billions of dollars on frivilous studies, gun registries and lame ass programs and allows the TransCanada hiway to remain a complete joke. The road between Kamloops and Banff is a disaster. Yes it's in a national park, and we should all ride peddle bikes and live in grass huts, and eat grass so our earth is nice and pretty. But that just ain't gonna work. That park has thousands of square kilometers of road and two more lanes of highway, and some well though out ways to keep the wild life off the road, but be allowed to live a somewhat natural existance would make things safer for the thousands of people who have to travel that road every year. I'm sure they could also look at twinning that thing through the first 75% of Ontario too. It would be better spent money than what they currently waste our tax dollars on.

Where's the clip of Spacey as Walken as Han Solo? That was friggen gold.

I thought this thread was going to be about airing your grievance against other posters on this site. That would've been far more entertaining.

I have one of those... Whomever gave me bad "skill" because I disagreed with the idea of a "Impact Trade" in the thread, I think I have just as much right to be posting my thoughts about the thread as those who agree with it. I've posted my thoughts about Hypothetical deals in the past and never been warned, and I don't understand why I'm getting in crap for it now. You can't always have yes men/women all the time. I just wanted to say thanks for the Blue!

I have a grievance against ignorant dillholes who are trying to make global warming a left/right political issue. Global warming is NOT some liberal agenda, it's not some vast conspiracy by all the scientists in the world to make you into a hippie and vote for gay rights.

And on that note, I have a grievance against people who will ignore the opinions of millions of scientists who study and work in the field, yet believe some windbag politician just because he agrees with their own uneducated beliefs.

As has been mentioned before, you can always ask the moderators to review the skill. I'm sure you could get an explanation.

Mine's a small grievance, but holy crap it makes me want to slap ppl sometimes. When you're waiting to get off the SkyTrain (or your respective city's equivalent), how many times out here are there stupid, pushy people who just have to shove you out of the way to get on the train before you can even get off! Yes I understand Broadway Station with it's McDonald's stench isn't exactly the most endearing place to spend time at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon, but seriously you tools, show some freakin' courtesy! Those ppl, and people who cross the street when the light turns yellow, should be fair game.

Worse is being on the C Train in Calgary during the rush hour. Battling for your inch of space and getting stuck beside some dude who had garlic for lunch. The smell was enough to knock a buzzard off a **** wagon.

Touche...

Also, when the train is packed, and it's raining, and all you can smell is like a hundred different variations of b.o. Just fantastic.

People who find it impossible to say anything good about the city in which they live, even when that city has been incredibly good to them. We seem to have a lot of them here in Calgary; I know this city is not without its warts, but it's not the soulless abyss that some make it out to be.

[Looger]

you can not have what many call 'culture' without massive poverty.

the beautiful sculptured monuments of old europe stem directly from the ultra-rich building monuments to their own greatness.

so we don't have massive inequity in calgary. TOUGH.

Wait the 5 seconds for them to get out of your way, Mad Max.

Fair game? Fair enough, as long as pedestrians are given handguns to gun down impatient ******* drivers.
