You Know What Really Grinds My Gears? Now with 3x more gears...

Delete

[Knut]

I have three gear grinders :

1) Shaw Auto-payments - for the 4th time in the last 18 months for some reason they don’t come off my CC and I get an overdue notice. Wtf. Shaw get your shiiit together.

2) was my car camouflaged today ? Three separate times someone pulled out making me have to slam on the brakes and honk the horn. First was someone pulling out onto Acadia Drive, next was at a a round-a-bout where they had their head turned looking right and completely ignored their left side and 3) was on Macleod where someone pulled into a parking lot and then decided it was the wrong one and swung back out onto Macleod without looking.

3) My front lawn along the side walk is completely dead from dog pee. Every dog in Bonavista goes there. About to put up a passive aggressive old person sign on the yard.

Maybe they need their eyes checked?

Couldn't sleep last night because I had going through my head that ridiculous jingle from that radio ad.

CALL LEGACYYYYYY, CALL LEGACY, CALL LEGACYYYYY, CALL LEGACY.

I ride past this new multi unit corner property, and after the snow melted most of the grass within about 5 feet of the sidewalk is spotty and dead. You can see it's the limit of dog leashes. Brand new grass, and it looks like trash. Yay for dogs.



My neighbour across the street put up 2 little signs next to the shrubs asking not to let your dog pee on them. A few days ago I watch this lady stop right between the signs reading her phone and stood around for a few minutes as the dog pissed on everything. People suck.

Try mixing in some other catchy tunes like “I have an annuity but I need cash now!” Or “1-877 Kars 4 kids”.

If that’s the case I don’t see how a little more could hurt the cause

People wearing flipflops on planes in general. Nobody wants to see or smell your feet. Dress like an adult when you're on a plane.

Putting your feet on things is one thing, but nobody should care how people are dressed. Ya, maybe you want everything to look like it’s from an episode of Madmen, but realistically if peoples attire is bothering you, it’s definitely a you problem.

Nah, you don't need to go full blown Madmen, just not flipflops.

I mean there is a case from the luggage packing efficiency perspective to pack the flip-flops and wear your largest footwear, but I don’t think I’d be offended by them being worn in the airport or plane anymore than other situations, except maybe on a hiking trail, then I’d be like, “whats wrong with you?”

Sure, until they kick those puppies off and put their feet up on the armrest in front of them, or on their seat. But if your cool with it, that's fine. It just happens to GMG's.

Got the signs too. Doesn’t do much except make them a target for the dogs which is slightly better than continuing to kill the grass or shrubs (replaced a few times now). Am wondering if it’s possible to tie in a low voltage line to the metal sign so a stream of urine allows the current to flow backwards. Not enough to hurt the beasts but perhaps to be uncomfortable. Hmmmm???

I’ve also asked people verbally not to allow their animals, I’ve knocked on my windows, and of course the signs. They don’t get it. I volunteered would it be ok to follow them home and personally pee on their yard/plants/vehicle tire cos is it really that different?

After being in the smoke all week, I'm headed up to Edmonton for the weekend where it's been way better in that regard. Literally just today when the smoke finally left Calgary, it JUST now hit Edmonton this afternoon and they're up to 11 on the index after being 2-3 all week. I'm basically following the smoke. #### off

Oh man. I just picked up some little electric pump. I am imagining rigging up a pee pump integrated into the no-pee sign. Subtle enough that dog owners don’t see it squirting back.

I see people wearing flip-flops in lots of situations, like on the bus, but most normal people don’t take them off and put them on the seat across from them. I think your gear grinder is gross people. Gross people would still put their feet on the arm rest whether they came in sandals or not.

This is like a large scale version of the person who smoke follows around the camp fire. I'd like to kindly request, on behalf of all Calgary, that you please, pretty please, stay the #### in Edmonton.

I see people wearing flip flops all the time as well. I also see them slip them off and put them on chairs and benches all the time, whether it’s on the c-train or an outdoor patio. Rarely, if ever have I seen someone take off their shoes and socks and do that.

It's probably sidewalk salt that was scraped up into snowbanks. It melts and kills all the grass underneath.
