Fuck Canada Post.

The item is travelling to its destination. It will remain in this state until it arrives at the final processing location. Typically, the final processing scan occurs on the expected delivery date or the day before at the local delivery facility. Check this date to know when we will attempt delivery.
Left Victoria this morning, processed ... so I go to my local Canada Post since it's there and I get "what makes you think you can just pick it up here?" like I've somehow offended her by trying to pick up my package.

Uhhh ... it's there and I'm not going to be home tomorrow. So, instead of walking out with my package, I have to wait until they attempt to deliver it and give me a card to tell me where to pick it up.

Fuck, so much easier with Purolator and UPS. As soon as it's at the processing facility, I can pick it up. No need to wait for them to attempt to deliver it.

Try to sign up for FlexDelivery, that has saved me numerous times, as I'm rarely ever home and I don't trust the old asian grandpas/grandmas riding around on their bikes looking for stuff to steal

That feeling of not being motivated to study after a long day of work...

Did the Wendy's survey for a BOGO spicy chicken sandwich free. Went to Wendy's, asked the manager if this works with combos. She said, "yes, it works with combo, but you will have to buy another sandwich to get one free." :fulloffuck:

I instantly developed a brain tumor.

I respect fasting for religious reasons, but my damn coworker fasts for "fun"? Okay, that's cool too, your life, can do what you like, but flipping please clean your mouth properly. Breath smells like complete shit because he's fasting and not eating for like two weeks. Literally have to stay away from him when he speaks, his mouth is unbearable lol

When people have far more than 12 items in the express lane... IT SAYS IN BIG FUCKING LETTERS "12 ITEMS OR LESS".

People who don't turn on their tail lights at night, pls i can't see you.

Pedestrians who bolt out at cross walk... almost watch this short asian lady get squished because she bolted out from the darkness. Drivers can't see you, worse when it is raining.

Funny how Whole Foods actually says "10ish items" for their express lines. I guess no one really counts.

When I finished making a turn today, a lady had her headphones in and was looking at her phone as she jaywalked across right in front of me. She was walking really slowly, too. I honked at her(it's not like she will notice me flash my high beams) and she looked at me like "WTF".

I don't know how much more suicidal you can get.

Holy fuck, cyclists who either refuse to use cycling lanes or are too stupid to know they're available. These fuckers should be ticketed/fined for negligence, slowing down traffic, and wasting tax dollars. As both a driver and a cyclist myself this is irritating af.

Trigger warning, fuck you.

^^ Cyclist was killed in Nanaimo earlier this year on the side of the highway with a paved, double-lane bike path 50 feet away that runs parallel the entire length of the highway.

Cyclist struck by cube van in Nanaimo has died

At the time, Const. Gary O’Brien said the cyclist was not wearing a helmet, had no lights on his bike and was wearing dark, non-reflective clothing.
Cyclists were out protesting for greater safety measures, naturally.

People who drink and cant handle it. Just dont fucking drink then.
Hubby got us kicked out of his company christmas party because he yakked in the sink in the mens washroom of the venue from pregaming too hard while i was on my way downtown.
I had just sat down with my plate of food and the MC came to notify me that I had to take him away immediately. It was a struggle to get him to leave - he's a big dude and I cant pull him. Not to mention, he was super angry about getting kicked out. He ended up yelling at me in the parking lot about it because he felt like he didnt do anything wrong.
Me being sober - obvi I agree with the decision to kick his ass out, he deserved it because he was an irresponsible drinker lol. I was begging him to just come home with me but he wouldnt listen. I ended up taking his wallet so he wouldnt lose it and leaving him dt. We got kicked out at 822pm. He didnt make it home til about 12am. I got home just before 10. Maybe it was harsh of me to leave him but he needed to learn a lesson. Maybe next time he'll remember i dont make empty threats.

Im also frustrated because he knows im a retired party veteran and he still wont listen to me when i say shit like slow down, eat something, drink water, etc.
I am noticing i really dont have patience for people who drink and cant handle themselves anymore.

I remember partying til i blacked out and I still would be able to take care of my friends and myself while on blind autopilot......so i maybe just dont understand *this* type of drunk/hammered. Alcohol sucks.

/end rant

Das me rn. People who can't drink but go hard. He probably had regrests after hour 3. I've been on the washroom floor for about 8 hours, puking for 4.

That gatorade will help a lot. I remember typing that last night, and thinking I need to drink water or smt. And everytime I drank or ate anything I'd just puke it back up.

But you're such a good wifey, damn.

I can't wait for my coworker to come back from Mat leave and take back her work.

Been a tiring 10 months supervising this asshole coworker that is incompetent as fuck. In an ideal world, his ass would have been fired long time ago. My company doesn't like to fire people as they don't want to train new people from scratch and also they are sympathetic his family depends on him due to one income.

E.g. I tell him to do one thing, he does another. He's too old for this job, forgets all the time whatever I tell him. When it's deadline for his work to be done, that's the day he actually starts it. I'm thinking WTF? Who do you think you are. You are a fucking junior staff that can't work at that kind of level where you can leave shit to the last minute.

just people in general driving like complete fucking morons!

Euro7r 12-12-2017 08:55 PM

Annoyed at people always telling me, "I should travel more" or do this and that.

To be honest, I haven't travel as much as I would like since that's always been something I wanted to do, see more of the world. I have financial obligations I want to commit to, such as save up more and pay off the mortgage. I don't even know where people come up with the money to blow on travel multiple trips a year....I guess these that live with mom and dad rent free or have no mortage...

in my experience they're usually the ones who live pay cheque to pay cheque or have someone taking care of them.

Always the people I see the most that say this kinda stuff. E.g Work colleagues. Sometimes gets quite annoying. I don't need to tell you my personal life and what I do. They just think vacation time = "MUST GO SOMEWHERE TO TRAVEL". Vacation to me could mean take time off and rest, not necessarily "travel".

End of day, each to their own. Everyone has their own goals. My goal is to pay down the place, their is blow money on travel and live off someone. Fine, no need to tell people what they should do and shouldn't do. Then they'll be like, oh you need to travel more to have more stories to talk to people with about. WTF??!

underscore 12-12-2017 10:30 PM

Life is (almost) always full of compromises and choices. I would love to have traveled more, especially to the places I won't go to now that I have obligations beyond myself, but instead I chose to be with my girlfriend (now wife), stay at a good job and buy our place. From how prices are going the amount I saved between buying when I did and now would cover a buttload of traveling when we retire. I know people who traveled and partied tons and are now in their 40's, just getting married, no kids, and a bit bitter towards their relatives that are only a bit older but now expecting grandkids. Focus on your overall goals and ignore those who are shortsighted.

To me international travel is exciting but not overly restful, given how long and tedious the process is to get there and back. As for having stories to tell, one of the best (if not the best) story I have comes from a fairly cheap ski weekend with some buddies. Yet some of my friends who have been all over the place come back and barely say a thing.
