Is that still illegal?


Tucking it into the sun visor works way better!

Good on you for just accepting as is, because it can't be helped, and passing along a friendly warning.

I generally just ignore texts until I get to where I'm going, or if I know who it was just use the Bluetooth Integration to call them back, hands free style.

Then again I grew up in the pre cellphone world, where people actually had to wait a few minutes to call someone back.

Then these started becoming more popular:

Some of us have places to go, if you want to do that kind of shit on your morning commute go take transit!

It's idiots that don't react when the turns green grind my gears too, it's almost like u have to honk to give everyone in front of u a wake up call right before the light turns green. It happens so much I think that's what I'm gonna have to start doing.

Keep your phone in your pocket and spend the fucking 100 dollars for a bluetooth integrated headunit. Texts are never important enough to bother sending while you are driving, and you can get phone calls without touching your phone. The amount of fucking cocksuckers I've seen blow through the red lights at the crosswalk by my house while looking down into their lap is astonishing. No one should be selfish enough to risk a pedestrians life over sending "LOL" or whatever useless shit they are sending.
Its not the biggest deal when you are doing it while sitting at a light, but why not just break the habit before it gets out of hand. We all spend too much time on these stupid things anyways and are becoming completely retarded because of it.

Elevators are full of people chin-to-chest looking at their phones and not interacting with neighbors


I go to an underground hipster bar that frowns on having your phone outside of your pocket, makes for a MUCH more social environment!!!

trollguy 03-27-2015 11:15 AM

Or post op dudes chin to chest looking at their new rack

and lies about your hipster bar. hipsters need to take photos of their drinks,etc to instagram

Social media is sooooooo mainstream now.

Any hipster worth his weight in skinny jeans knows that the fakers are trying to gain social traction online while actual hipsters congregate among themselves around craft beer, dispensary weed, underground bars and single speed bicycles

* paging bcrdrukes for update on hipster life

Dear Diary,

I often wonder who I wronged in life to be dealt with the hand of cards where I am sent off to perform an audit in Saskatoon, SK. I must have berated the Revscene almighty moderators or envied trollguy's trolling antics. I will never know, but such is life and here I await my flight at Terminal C Gate C59 for a stopover flight to Calgary.

The air is drab and hot inside the cabin of this Embraer E90. I'm stuck beside this redneck who looks like he hasn't slept in weeks. He reeks of cheap Canadian beer, probably not even craft brewed. Passengers up and down the aisle, the flight attendants greeting them as they come; there's a cute brunette with her hands in her pockets, and and screaming baby wailing at the top of its lungs.

I pass out. The plane lands and I await my turn to de-plane. I peek out the window and see nothing but 50 shades of beige. It's not even Saskatoon yet, but I realize again this is Calgary. There are only two colours here in this city - grey or brown. I choose the grey since the snow hasn't melted and my hand-crafted frames need a cleaning. I take my pack of pretzels and throw them into my bag and off I go.

...To be continued.

multicartual 03-27-2015 11:44 AM

Hmmm are those pretzels organic?

bcrdukes 03-27-2015 11:50 AM

I looked at the packaging. Sadly, no. But they are Kosher and I thought, "Good enough." :fuckyea:

Holy crap, I've been on that exact same flight. Several times.

These pretzels are making me thirsty.

I just use swipe to text, send messages with out having to look down, and it's much faster.
