Are you sure you didn't accidentally click Sydney, Australia instead?

Self-inflicted injury from wearing slippery socks on hardwood - bashing both knees into the nose of the stairs after slipping while walking up the stairs.

The. Worst.

When I was 14, I was teaching myself to play the guitar so I printed out reams-worth of guitar tablatures and had them strewn all over the thin, sh-tty carpet in the basement. My mom called me for something, so I decided to run across the floor, slipped on one of the pages, and bashed my knee into the carpeted floor (which had minimal underlay above the concrete if any). To this day, I still have zero sensation on a patch of skin just below and to the right of my right knee-cap, about .5" x .5" in size.

Lol! Governments are the reason why flying inside Canada is preposterously expensive.

Their customer service feels more forced than community service.

You're a genius!

Get convicts to work airline phone lines!

"Commit a Crime, become an indentured Travel Agent!"

Their slogan can be: "We care....because it gets us out of here!"

Brilliant! Problems solved.

Oh! And baggage handlers! For every bag that gets to its correct destination first time....a day off your sentence!

Oh there is some real Gold here...

Businesses asking for your phone number etc.

My usual barber closed early today so I stopped into a "Great Clips", they're not busy, looks fine, who cares. I get asked for my phone number, I say that I get far too many calls and to just throw any number you like in there. She then says she needs a real number and that my first and last name are also needed.

My last name is long and tough to spell to some people, I don't care to rattle it off when it's only a haircut. I actually said "that's alright, forget about it" and took off.

Not her fault, I guess it's required in their software but #### off with that.

Why would you want to spend money within Canada when you can spend your money in so many better, more enjoyable and cheaper international places?

I used to give out my parents' old phone number.

It sucks now because my dad passed away recently, but when he was around and retired he'd talk to anyone on the phone for as long as he wanted.

"You want to participate in a survey?"

Buckle up son...

I remember I bought a pair of shoes from a discount shoe warehouse one time and he kept that poor bastard on the phone for over 90 minutes.
