So, we got up, each took hold of one side of our headboard & just absolutely mashed it into the wall with as much force as possible.

Suddenly, the noise from the other room ceased. I don't know if they moved to the floor or what, but we didn't care, as long as the wall clanging stopped. Went back to sleep and that was that.

We were careful leaving the next morning, did a quick peek out the door to make sure we didn't run into them also leaving, so as to avoid any awkwardness.
Should have been the conductor

Pretty hilarious that my new license plate still says "Place Sticker Here" in the bottom right, even though there hasn't been registration stickers for years now

Sounds like a job for...Ministry of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction.


Oh wait, that's who does them. I still can't believe they changed the name to that. Something something virtue signalling.

I’m sure they’re still working out who will manage the sole source contract to fill in the indent. Probably have to book an appointment at a temporary service location.

modern public washrooms

Why does it have 10 hand washing stations and one hand dryer? No paper towels.

Are we supposed to line up with wet hands? People just end up wiping their hands on their pants and leaving.

I really wish Mcdonalds brought their bacon game up a bit. Back when Bacon Double cheeseburgers came out a million years ago, I must have had hundreds of those. Just not the same. Might be the best burger ever if the bacon was passable.

Have you tried dumping a Wendy's Baconator down your gullet? That may satisfy that bacon craving! Had one last week and just about died from the meat sweats.

They are way too greasy. Hate when the bun becomes translucent.

They are required to have a certain number of sinks to toilets. They are not required to have more than one hand dryer, I don't think. This is called "doing the bare minimum."

And how hard is it to manufacture a blow dryer? Half of them never work and the other half are like being blown on by an asthmatic elderly gentleman.

Rugby player.

I played with a guy who crushed 50 chicken nuggets. Pre Game.

Not going to lie, that sight made me feel a little ill.

I live in a concrete high-rise. I've always sworn by concrete multi-storey buildings as even a family of enthusiastic herd of elephants in a conga line living above typically won't cause much noise to travel down to your suite.

Whoever lives in the suite above me has figured out how to defeat this by dropping crap on the floor and banging on sh-t randomly throughout the day, and strangely, the night. Usually it sounds like they're dropping a metal water bottle on the floor from a decent height, or hammering on something solid on the floor. (These are most definitely not sexytime noises.) It is random but relatively frequent.

Does it actively impede any activity or enjoyment of my living space? I mean, not really I suppose. There's a fire and EMS hall not two blocks from me so I get plenty of noise from that and it doesn't phase me, but that noise is part of the deal of living in an urban center. But this is not your typical urban living ambient noise.
Is it one of those seemingly benign things that after a while drives you f--king bonkers like Chinese water torture? Well, I'm bitching about it on the internet, aren't I?

I have started broadcasting an SSID with an insanely long and complex password called 1-SUITE ### STOP DROPPING SH-T because I can't be arsed to go up there and say something and am afraid if I do I'm going to be tempted to wrap all their personal belongings in double-sided tape for them.
