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

[Brendone]

I can’t recall being this bad. Our garden hose is under a neighbours poplar branches and it’s disgusting to touch.

Our front deck is completely coated in the stuff, rocks right under the tree on our boulevard garden look like they've been glazed over completely. Even rolling over sections of it on the pathways you can hear it on the tires. I think a section this morning had some light gravel too and I got rock coated tires as a result.

When the water restrictions allow it I'm hosing the deck and scrubbing.

Aphid poo, who'd have thought.

Have you considered just doing it now?

Perhaps you could even write a post about it in the water restrictions thread. Be sure to complain about the government and mention kiddie pools when you do.

There's pills for sticky hoses.

Bad advice.

Get kiddy pool.

Put on Deck.

Add you favorite deck cleaning soap.

Get gorilla on it.

NSFW!

Carefully scrub up any mess you made.

Profit. No more aphid poo.

I normally don't mind the whole receipt checking thing at the exits. But holy #### Costco, could you make sure the people there can at least count to five?

"Hello, can I check your receipt?"
"Sure yeah, here it is."
"Oh you it says 5 paper towels on this."
"Yes, that's right."
"I only see 3."
"Say what now? There's 5."
"Are you sure, I only see 3."
"Umm, there's two on the bottom of the cart."
"Yeah, we don't want to over charge you, you know."
"There are two on the bottom there."
"I still don't see 5."
"Ummmmmm."

30 more seconds to walk around my cart

"Oh! I see it now."

. . .

"FFS. You know what, you're right, there are only 3 lights and I'd like to get a refund on those 2 missing items."

I'll take "understand how a yield sign works" for $400, Fuzz.

Also a gear.grinder: Big pickup trucks parked near corners. Now they are blind corners. Leave them in the garage, anif you don't have a garage, sell the stupid thing and find some other way to compensate.

Well. Its a woman.

But that is among the dumbest #### I've seen.

Lady. Come to Canada and try bouncing into your ridiculous truck in January.

She might have some issues getting back in no ?

Yes, I was trying to make the joke.

I don't even understand how vehicles like that are street legal. All the crash standards for pedestrians and vehicles are right out the window lifted that high.

they probably are not street legal... it's just that most cops likely don't care.

in bc you can go up 10cm and not worry about it. above 10cm and you're supposed to get an inspection.
i believe the bottom of the bumper can't be higher than 30" (or around that) and headlights can only be 'so high' off the ground (around 4'6")

my one truck is lifted 6", my other truck 7.5". i didn't get either inspected after having the work done.

i would think it's one of those things where if you are pulled over and are being an idiot to the cops they can easily find 'other things' to fine you for.... like truck nutz, oversized white oakleys, etc.

Flooding in the GTA and I slowed down to go through some water and some ####### in a truck went flying through and blinded me for several seconds.

Three times now this month I've had unrecognized payments come out of my bank account. Bank says since they're EFT's, they can't see any details about them, nor will they refund me. Only way to prevent it is to pay for a stop payment, which I did in the meantime. So I also transferred all my money to another account of mine, bam there's another payment, this time with NSF fees.

Hours and hours on hold with the bank and different security and fraud departments was no help. I guess my only course of action is to close the account so I don't get buried in NSF fees. Awesome, this is sweet, $300 gone plus now I get the hassle of doing all that ####

Holy heck, there’s gotta be some protection for that, but my business with that bank would be over tomorrow.
