Besides people being retards they are,believing it lol.
Typically they want people to fill out a survey 'so they can be contacted when they win'.

All that personal info is then collected and SOLD OFF to other third parties who use the info to telemarket / spam / scam the hell out of these people.

Wood from a crate.

Broke off beneath the skin and like 1/4" in, so there was no way to get it with tweezers (I tried). Long one, too.

Why is it that every time someone who doesn't have insurance has a house fire/flood/theft/whatever there's always a GoFundMe set up immediately? Stop being a fucking leech and pay for your own coverage, don't just beg for help when something you chose to do backfires. You've got to be a special kind of arrogant to expect other people to pay for that.

Anyone else find these 'car blog channels' annoying? I like established auto channels like Motorweek and Motor Trend but I never realized how many of these offshoot channels there are. I gave them a chance but all I see is a person with some behavioural disorder, talking spastic dialogue to me about how they 'bought the cheapest Ferrari' and here's '27 things you need to know' about it. Top it off with clickbait titles and misinformation in their talking points and it got old for me real quick. Seems like the bulk of their audience are teens / early 20s types so it all makes sense in that regard. MTV meets car salesman.

I'm not painting them all with the same brush, just most of them. I do watch Scotty Kilmer from time to time as well as SaabKyle's.

I believe in this instance it ended up being a drug lab that toasted the place to boot.

I know what you mean.

As for Scotty Kilmer, eh, I watch it for both entertainment value and educational value. I take some of the stuff he says with a grain of salt.

Screw driving a Toyota family car, man. I don't care how reliable they are, if I fall asleep at the wheel because they are so boring, I will crash it and that's not reliable, LOL.

Travel Vloggers annoy the fuck out of me. I'm out hiking or on the seawall and some idiot douchebag in a wifebeater and trucker hat with a selfie stick is yelling into his phone in that fake ass phony vlogger voice: WE'RE COMING TO YOU FROM VAAANCOOOVER BEE CEE!!!

Fuck that shit.

I use youtube mostly for old show reruns and to discover new music / artists. It's actually very good for the latter. Just takes some digging.

Should tell them to explore a Thai cave during monsoon season.

I never even gave travel or food vloggers a minute of my life. They just seem like trustafarians who's idea of entrepreneurship is traveling to random places and eating random food while typing grammatical failures all on their parents' dime.

Oh and adding 27 emojis because why type words at all?

I don't find it a nuisance when people talk to themselves or does their own thing. Pisses me off when I'm riding the bike around seawall/false creek, always some chinese mainlander fucktard walking on the bike lane side. One time, had to stop and tell them your walking on the wrong side and stared them down.

There's visibly pictures of a bicycle and pedestrian that indiciate which side is which...I guess can't really put common sense into these people...

That reminds me, my roommate told me that he was walking inside a UVic building once and needed to get to a class. A bunch of Chinese people was blocking his way and they wouldn't budge no matter what. He tried to politely ask but to no avail. He ended up just shoving past them.

As a Chinese guy myself... I feel my roommate's pain and if I was there, I would tell them the 5 rules of the road:

1. Get
2. Out
3. Of
4. My
5. Way

Drivers on the highway.


I've only lived in Langley for a month and been commuting to Burnaby for work and my god have I never see as many crappy drivers as I thought there could be.


Every morning it's the same thing. Cars jumping from lane to lane to get ahead of 1 car while cutting them off. Did that really accomplish much? They jump lane from lane and end up trapped in a slow lane only to get passed by everyone the just passed.

I drive in the left lane keeping a distance to the car in front of me that's safe enough for the slow speed we're going, maybe the distance of 2-3 cars. People don't bother shoulder checking or using their signals while they cut you off making you hit the brakes.

After work I see the same thing almost daily during rush hour. Guys who think they're wannabe bad ass hells angels on their Harley riding up the shoulder as if they're entitled. If they're gonna do that I kinda want to see one of them skid out on all the loose rocks that make their way to that lane.

To the guy who was lane jumping who I ended up passing while in the right lane about 4 times and then decided to cut me off when there wasn't even enough space for him to fit I'm glad you missed your exit. I looked over as I took that same exit to see you having what looked like some yelling and frustration going on, you deserved it.




I kinda wish I was a cop and could just pull over all the idiots who get away with all the crap they do.

one thing that bugs me is when an emergency vehicle comes through and people try to use it to skip ahead in traffic. we'll all be pulled over and the ambulance will go through, and then the guy at the back of the line just floors it to try to skip 10 cars... emergency vehicles should not be an opportunity to get ahead of traffic. especially when you're supposed to keep your distance behind it.

Literally, ground my second gear another time yesterday.

Happened thrice this year already. Can't remember myself doing anything wrong, and the only other time I ground a gear was in 6th once and I remember not pressing in the clutch all the way. Doh.

Is my gearbox slowly becoming the new Civic Type R box? Just changed the fluid last year as well. Guess all the 9k RPM redline isn't great for it...

Having to effectively spend money because other people can't do math. I'm perfectly happy paying for my own extended medical costs, so don't make me spend more money by having payment go through our company for benefits that I don't want or need.
