Mine for one.

I am sick of cleaning my neighbours sidewalk.

The sidewalk in front of my place gets a build on either side of the property line. Some water is from my lot and some from his.

I used to clean his ice as well as mine, but he never reciprocated, so #### it.

I clean right up to the property line and stop.

But the neighbour on the other side, we clean each other's sidewalks & driveway.

The dude is awesome.

Anyway, myside walk is clean, my D-bag neighbour's is not

Does a bunch of the water come from piles of snow on the edge of the sidewalk? (ie: A melting stream)

I shovel about half a foot inwards for those areas using a spreader shovel. Not shovel to the grass, I leave a few inches of snow. But then when snow and ice melt, the lawn doesn't saturate as easy and then drain out onto the sidewalk to turn into ice.

Getting sick of these short one ring phone call scams. They’ll only call your phone for one ring (or sometimes 0) and don’t leave a voice mail. It is always a different number; maybe they’re hoping you phone back thinking you missed an important call.

They're definitely targeting boomers with that tactic, as no millennial or gen-z would think like that

Yeah, I don't fecking call numbers back that I can't identify unless they leave a voicemail or send me a text telling me who they are.

[DownInFlames]

No, Instagram ad I see all the time, I am not going to make a book to send to family members. No one wants that ####.

The term boomers RGMG…people younger than 35 referring to every one older than them as boomers are annoying to say the least.

I’m over 35 and I’ve never been called a boomer before but now I can’t wait for it to happen

[Cecil Terwilliger]

I have never heard anyone under the age of 60 called a boomer. And I’ve definitely never met anyone under the age of 35 who thinks that anyone older than them is a boomer.

Which is exactly the group of people who would fall for that phone scam. No millennial or Gen z would fall for that.

No matter what I do, my keys are always in the opposite pocket I need them to be in when I am carrying something cumbersome to or from the car. Without fail. No matter how many times I remind myself to place the keys in the strategically located pants pocket so I don't have to set said item/s down.

Apologies, I mean people referring to people out of their generation.

Tipping is out of control. 20-25-30 were the options today. Like wtf? And I thought 18-20-25 was already kind of obnoxious.

Why would the tipping percentage ever increase? It’s already inflation proof since it’s a percentage.

I may go full Mr Pink one of these days.

If they don't come from behind the counter to bring you food or drinks, 0%. If they don't have a 15% built in and force you to customize it down to 15%, 0%.

I don’t think that’s how recessions work.

Every time I back out of the garage i'll get a block down the street and my brains starts asking if I shut the garage door. I give into the urge sometimes only to find the door is shut. I feel like an idiot!

Today I went back to check and this time it was still open.

Now i'm ####ed!!

I bought this for that exact reason.

I rent a garage in Red Deer, and when I return to Calgary, it is always on my mind. I sometimes have the garage neighbor check it...lol.
