This is what gets me about the "WhY aRe YoU iN sUcH A rUsH, yOuR tImE iSn'T wOrTh MoRe ThAn EvErYoNe ElSeS" types on Reddit who are indignantly proud of their left-lane hoggery. By being an obstacle in traffic, you're not just inconveniencing the person stuck behind you, but eeeeeeeeeverybody around you.

I've often felt that people who post dash cam footage are more often than not individuals who are contributing to bull#### on the roads, rather than merely pointing it out.

Or as you mentioned earlier, someone pointing out their own bad driving habits.

And this is in essence everything that sucks about the Deerfoot exit onto Glenmore; these vigilante “they should have changed lanes back at Peigan” dickfaces that police the right lane.

This is not a merge where I am talking about, not at all. We are crawling in the lane (solid line) and someone slams his breaks and turns the signal on. Merge all day long in a merge.

Watched some ignorant moron pushing her cart down the middle of a narrow aisle at Costco. She literally going down the middle of the aisle talking on her phone walking slower than sin. Poor people are lined behind her are trying to get around but she weaves left and right as she only has one hand on her cart.

I see her as she finally gets close to the main larger aisle going from the front of the warehouse to the back. But she stops to gesticulate at the person she is screaming at on the phone. Guy behind her throws his hands up in the air and she finally notices she's blocking everybody. She has the gall to yell at him - "Patient!"

####ing selfish dumb ass morons. Surprised she wasn't slapped upside the head.

First of all...there are no 'narrow aisles' at Costco.

Secondly...in my experience, its probably her only chance to get away from her husband and kids.

Get a hot dog. They're delicious.

The candy aisles, which are the only important aisles, are really narrow. There is barely enough room to get carts side by side down those.

Park your cart in the center of one of those aisles in the middle portion of the warehouse and let me know how that goes.

If you're trying to escape the bad decisions in your life and choosing to go to Costco instead and screaming into your phone . . . I mean #### must have gone wrong.

It grinds my gears that people still do double takes whenever I say that I choose to be sober. I don't look down upon people who drink, smoke, do drugs, etc. I just have my own personal reasons for why I'd rather be straight edge. Someone once tried to push me to drink some liquor at a party once and they looked so upset when I repeatedly said no. I haven't caved into peer pressure yet and that's not changing anytime soon

That is weird of that person and pretty off-putting. Sometimes I just want to hang out with a friend I haven’t seen in a while, and they feel like they have to order drinks but either they’re driving, have to work, or they don’t drink. I say just get a Coke or a water! No one should care. I certainly don’t. I want to have a social conversation with them, not make them do anything they don’t want.

People that peer pressure you aren’t your friends.

People are less weird about this than they used to be but can still be asshats from time to time. I like to rotate between telling them I’m Muslim or Mormon, deathly allergic or such a raging alcoholic that if I get so much as a whiff, it will send me into a downward spiral guaranteed to result in a Barney Gumble or Leaving Las Vegas type scenario. Really lay it on thick with the guilt and judgement. Then order a Guinness zero while they’re in the bathroom, pretend it’s the real thing and act like I snapped and it’s their fault that I was driven to drink.

Hot take. Hate Costco hot dogs. The ratio is all messed up. Hate all hot dogs in Canada. University of Michigan flew me down for some ceremony and had a prime rib suite at Yost. They were aghast when I had three stadium hot dogs instead.

Why does the US have better hot dogs than us? It’s a hot dog. Be better Canada hot dog manufacturers.

Hebrew Nationals.

Only place I can find them is Burger Priest.

Nathan's are better. This is only my opinion.
Are Nathan's in Canada?

No idea.

But I have had both and prefer Hebrew Nationals.

No, it's a solid line there and due to that I have the expectation that there won't be anyone changing lanes so I have no requirement of decency.

Are you eating the beef ones or the Polish sausage? Polish sausage is the only way to go.

[Monahammer]

All beef is the only correct hot dog.

[Geraldsh]

Costco hotdogs are the worst!

I had one and it was so full of garlic I couldn’t taste anything else for the rest of the day. Don’t get me wrong, I like lots of garlic but there is a time and place for it- high noon at Costco is not it.

[surferguy]

Ever try and Australian or NZ hot dog? Those things are the worst, zero redeeming quality’s. The worst

To add to this, people that stand at the side of their cart and pull it with them, essentially taking up two spaces. They also always seem to be the type of person that has no awareness of what they are doing and slowly wander around aimlessly
