Tell Laura to take it easy on those guys.

@Jett129 Turks and Caicos, but it may be our last time in this specific location. Love it for the convenience and because the people/staff here are beautiful (big hearts, beautiful smiles, and kind). For that we love it…

For the other travellers/tourists I can say they are better mannered than last year but there are a few standouts for the wrong reasons.

I have zero problems telling rude patrons to where to go. One time I yelled at a group of high school girls in line a Chick Fil A because they were chatting loudly instead of moving up to make their order. Fuck all the rude people.

I’d pry give up a less loved UHF to have been a fly on the wall for that Chic Fil A experience

[Matt]

My admonishment was sharp and loud. You could have heard a pin drop afterwards.

@Giles @Alex Perfect suggestion for a t-shirt “Fuck all the rude people.” I think that there are a few of us who may buy one or two

[Matt]

My favorite is when the assholes are tearing into someone and they try to get you on their side if if you’re in line next to them. I’m like You're barking up the wrong tree Karen. I think you’re a petty little bitch. Get your iced lattee and go back to irritating your coworkers.

Another great t-shirt: “You’re barking up the wrong tree Karen”. Keep em coming

@RobeOfTheMagi that’s freaking nuts!! Takes us back to the ‘ol cost per wear argument and even more important the environmental sustainability impact.

Reading that article made me feel alot better about what we’ve got going on here in our community.

Well it’s going to be a long 4 days…60 cm’s of snow predicted for the next 4 days. Schools are all closed for at least tomorrow and all of the local municipalities saying to stay off the roads unless it’s an emergency.

Predicting 60-80 km winds over a bit of the time as well. So snowed in and the possibility of no power. Generator is fuelled and ready, beer fridge stocked, and plenty of food in the house.

@goosehd That sounds like a proper Ontario winter. Stay warm!

That’s why I moved to BC

[tody]

@goosehd I have to admit that the first thought that crossed my mind was that you shouldn't have posted this in random rants.

[Mizmazzle]

@tody haha. I was thinking the same thing. Sounds wonderful to me...as long as you're prepared.

[goosehd]

…the catch is that I’m the youngest on the laneway with one neighbour who just broke his hip 2 weeks ago. I plow the laneway and clear all of the trees off when they fall. Sometimes the neighbours help when they can…all I see is work in subzero temps, lots of snow, and the possibility of no power as the icing on the cake.

@goosehd if it wasn't for the hard labor part I'm inclined to agree with @tody

Bonus the use of "laneway" makes me think of letterkenny shenanigans

[goosehd]

Not going to lie and say that I'm not looking forward to the occasional beer or three. Need to stay hydrated...

[J-IV]

Good on you for helping though @goosehd . A stocked beer fridge sounds like a little exciting if you ask me, especially if it's beers I haven't tried yet.

To contribute - just came off a State call and heard our program is going to take a huge hit on the budget. Expecting up to 50% for next year. The feeling of uncertainty and doom in the office this past month has been somewhat mitigated but folks are definitely feeling it now. Fun times ahead - guess I should go stock my beer fridge too, huh?
