Shrinkflation really GMG. Armstrong cheese sticks have been a staple snack of mine for years, but after buying a box today I noticed they're significantly smaller. And Armstrong didn't even put in the effort to change the packaging, there's just a bunch of empty space in each that used to be filled by cheese. Guess I'm going to have to start buying the bulk blocks at Costco and go back to slicing my own cheese like a chump

Or you can consider each serving is more calorie conscious now.
Yesterday was a real treat for driving here in Calgary. On the overpass where you go from Crowfoot south to Glenmore east, a guy came to a sudden stop. Bunch of people nearly caused a pile up. His dog got loose and he roughly shoved the poor thing back in his truck. He drives off and his trailer, with a tree and other yard ####, is peppering peoples cars with branches and #### at high speed. I'm sure at least one person got a chipped windshield from this prick.
Later at superstore I parked with my daughter in one of the reserved call and pick up spaces. I don't give a #### , #### Galon Weston. When I get back in my van and I'm loading groceries, this nutter of a woman is across from me (parked in a family parking spot mind you, and she was alone and not pregnant looking) starts yelling at me that I'm in a reserved space for "PC express members" before I can say anything, a guy in a jeep, my spirit animal, told her "mind your own business you ####ing bitch". Harsh and probably could have gone without the profanity, but, seriously. Mind your own business. Am I asking you if your pregnant? No who ####ing cares. It always amazes me that people are willing to pick fights with total strangers in parking lots. What if I was an unhinged lunatic that decided to walk over and get in her face? I won't say #### to people in a parking lot for this reason, some day you might yell at a moron with a gun or someone willing to throw hands over a parking space. ####ing insane.
People are pretty hardcore when it comes to those stalls lol. I’ve had to run in sometimes when they can’t find an item on my list, and more than once people have said something thinking I’m not picking up.
Jeep guy telling someone to mind their own business whilst not minding his is funny.

Why wouldn't you park in a normal spot like everyone else? It's not like you parked in a handicap spot or anything, I just don't get what makes you more special than anyone else. If everyone did what you did, there'd be no easy click and collect spots.

One day I'll get audited and have no back up whatsoever!
Yeah I don't know what I'd do if they ever asked for meaningful backup, I keep a list of all my professional development activities but with a few exceptions the closest I'd have for proof that I'd done something would be an Outlook appointment, presuming that wasn't archived or deleted. But I've reported CPD hours for over 20 years to multiple organizations and none have ever questioned them.

Yeah. I'm sort of a sucker with that. I put my P.Eng on non-practicing so I didn't have to report CPD hours any more. Since I'm not in any way practicing it isn't a big deal, but it sort of annoys me that the fees are exactly the same. I don't use the title in any way for anything either, but apparently the process of becoming licensed to practice again is way easier if you don't stop paying for "reasons" so I pay every year just in case I want to practice at some point in the future.
I saw a younger female driving behind me with her foot sticking out of the window. I'm an old male so obviously my flexibility is going to be pretty poor but even if I was a young, limber gymnast that doesn't seem like a very comfortable driving position.
It's pretty clear on here who didn't grow up with obnoxious Oiler fan family/friends rubbing it in your face every chance they got. Some of us weren't so lucky and grew up deeply imbedded in this rivalry due to it... If you think Calgary is bad with that stuff, go up to Edmonton and see what they think of the Flames, I promise you they hate us more and are even more tribalistic. I'll never support those (undeservedly) arrogant mouth-breathers.
I actually find it kind of shocking there's apparently lots of sports fans who genuinely don't understand sports rivalries, especially geographic ones. It kinda makes us look like a soft fanbase.

Honestly every one I’ve seen do this looks exactly the same, and has the same hilarious smug look on their face like that was their win of the day.

There’s a certain subset of the populace that believes rules apply only to others but not them. They’ll cry about someone else breaking a rule and in the same breath brazenly flaunt when they do the same. Rather interesting to see the total lack of self awareness.
Probably don’t return carts to the corral either.

Some places have way too many of those pickup spots. If I show up and there's 16 free spots, I'll be the one with the balls to use one. For the 5 minutes I'm in the store there's no chance 15 are getting filled.
Flipping Lowes and Staples has tons and I've yet to see a single person use one for a pickup order.
People with no social grace. Decided to hit a deck for lunch this afternoon. A lady and her partner come out, and she proceeds to kick off her sandals, and put her bare feet up on the chair across from her, and not discreetly, but full on open like she was in her back yard. Like #### people, conduct yourselves accordingly.

Yeah pretty sure your resentment towards the Weston family is misdirected. They DGAFF, where you park, as long as you're not moored where their yacht would be. Weirdly, your resentment becomes an entitlement to assigned parking spots. The deflection towards those in Handicapped stalls, is bewildering also.

So you parked in one because:
A. No other spots were available
B. Other spots available, but to lazy to walk
C. Wanted to make a statement

He didn't deflect toward those in handicapped stalls. He was mentioning those stupid "Family Parking" stalls which is basically "You were stupid enough to have kids and they're little f--king terrors so we'll let you park closer so you can get the f--k out of here a little faster and then we're not all miserable hearing them scream for Froot Loops" or something. They aren't strictly reserved for pregnant women either.
