i was stopped at a light and there was a young girl (hence why i noticed... young as in 20-something hot student) who wanted to cross in front of me... the hand had already been flashing a while, but she decides to start crossing and breaks into a run as the light is turning yellow...

car that was turning left on the yellow (already into the intersection) has to hit the brakes to not hit her and she starts screaming at the car flipping him off.... he had a green light when he entered the intersection... she had a red stop hand.... i'd say he should be yelling at her.

she dropped quite a few hot points with that... not that i stopped looking.

wife sent me a text.

on her way home from work.  she's been stuck for 45 minutes.
huge accident.  A two lane 80km/h road, straight stretch in which it looks like someone tried to make a pass and didn't make it.   "2 cars flipped over in the ditch and a totally crushed RAM"

Saw an Altima turning the wrong way into a 1 way street in downtown.

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D

Another Altima on the road...rear rotors completely covered in thick flakey rust, clearly hasn't been in braking action back there in a LONG time.

A spray foam company that says they "will promote the development of an environmentally sustainable community that functions in harmony with the natural environment" has a driver that doesn't believe in it.

This vehicle is in front of my building on an almost daily basis, idling for extended periods. Today, it was nearly 8 minutes The noise and smell is something that we can do without.

The company has been notified.

That reads too much like it is was written up by a government appointed committee, bafflegab! (though I have read much worse)

the guy is probably picking up a co-worker... while annoying, i blame the guy for being late! the driver will get berated for this when all he is doing is waiting for his buddy (?) to go to work...

totally understand your frustration, but i don't think sending word to the company is how i would have gone about it. do you recognize the guy? i would just ask him to tell his buddy to shut off the truck while he waits. then he doesn't run the risk of a write up or firing for doing something he doesn't even notice is wrong.

Yeah, you'd pretty much have to do a YouTube video for every pick up truck in Alberta.

I remember once getting out of my (company) truck in the parking lot at a northern Alberta grocery store. I counted six idling, empty pickups on my walk into the store. I guess plus 25 is warm enough that you need to let your truck idle for 25 minutes with the a/c on while you do your grocery shopping?

Just last week, I stopped at Subway for lunch. Guy pulls up in an F-150 and walks into the store behind me. I order my stuff, pay and walk out, noticing as I get into my car that his empty F-150 is idling away beside me. And it was plus 10 and overcast that day: not even warm enough for a/c and not cold enough to need constant heat.  ???

Almost t-boned two nuns yesterday. Was going to see a customer and met up with her on the highway hovering between 75-105kmh/h, speed limit was 100. Got angrier and angrier at the fact she couldn't maintain her speed and I couldn't pass her, two lane highway, heavy traffic, I was muttering all sorts of bad words under my breath. Finally got to a roundabout, yeah, thats right, we have them on the highways here, well secondary ones anyways, no traffic, she goes through, I go through, she signals and takes the second exit, I go around her, SHE STARTS COMING BACK INTO MY LANE, I brake, she brakes and I lean out the window to start letting out what will be an obscenity laced rant...well almost, " you fuc.......holy crap.....I mean uhhh....ummmm....I apologize baby jesus"  :-[  :-[ ....two old nuns, staring at me out of this Corolla, both smiling and waving in apology.....How many hail marys is it for swearing at a nun??
