Grumpy Old Forumers

[R3CON]

^tbh this is a fairly common occurrence with public transportation. It's not limited to that company or that location. Alot of bus drivers are assholes or just don't care about their job like that. They're just driving from A to B and there's no real recourse if they don't pick you up. Hard to prove, hard to log complaints, hard for that to trickle down into a meaningful consequence.

 

Even if you make noise about it, this will still continue to happen in the future. Best bet is to invest in a car. And next time get the driver's bus number and plate number.

 

Every year after black friday you see videos going viral of crowds rushing and jostling, and fights breaking out. Just how common is that behaviour?

Rustling and jostling is very common. The fights do happen at some places but they're very, very few and far between. Most people just want to get their stuff and keep it moving.

 

Also, many Black Friday deals actually start on Thursday and some deals have been staggered to spread out the sales over more days. Cyber Monday and online shopping is another factor since you don't even need to leave the house/work. Many people have become wary of the hectic and stressful nature of Black Friday and in recent years companies have made changes to disperse the madness and provide alternatives.

Due to a Medical condition I have (Which I won't disclose for personal reasons) I can't really drive so Public transport is all I really have. Some of my friends are nice to give a lift where possible but it doesn't always happen which is understandable.

 

I'm still P!ssed about the fact that for a major bus company in our region, they don't have a customer complaints line open on the weekend. What kind of major service has no complaints line opened on the weekend? This would be like Wal-Mart of a weekend closing their complaints line and telling you to wait till Monday if you have any complaints. By then it's too late and the person who wishes to complain has probably moved on.

 

Anyway I got the bus rego (plates), time dotted down as well as route number so it's pretty easy to put all of this together. The buses are tracked via satellite from the various depots / Head office / Operational Control Centre and have cameras on the outside and inside so it'll be easy to prove to the company that a passenger attempted to flag down a driver only for the driver to almost drive on.

 

This isn't the first time I've had a driver be smart to me and it probably won't be the last.

There is nothing more that upsets me than people who don't use commas. I paid just enough attention in English class, but I didn't really get proper with it, so I made B's instead of A's. That being said, it's better to use a comma and be wrong, than to not use commas at all. When I see sh*t like this...

 

"Oh my god this game is so boring like who even plays this sh*t anymore people are so stupid these days lol get rekt scrub you are so bad at this game you need to pack up and leave hahaha I f*cked your mom last night I'm your dad"

 

No-no-no-no-no, hell no, I am not reading that sh*t. I instantly scroll past your post if you cannot use any commas. There's a reason it's on your keyboard, or at the bottom of the screen of your phone.

 

I ain't no goddamn college professor, but it will save me the frustration, and maybe many others, of reading through your clusterf*ck of words, to get some kind of understanding.

 

Let's not completely throw English out of the window. For f*ck's sake, Cursive is already becoming obsolete.

Every friggin year, When i was still with the Fire Dept we would actually set up advance stations at the local stores because every single year without fail we'd get a call out for people getting trampled, broken bones ect.

 

The stores finally wised up and now hold a lottery system for the big box items such as TV, Gaming Systems ect so unless you had the ticket you weren't getting the item no matter how many people you trampled.

Instead of hand washing 3 coffee cups, which would take maybe 37 seconds, my roommate throws them into the completely empty dishwasher and starts a load.

 

Holy sh*t, how lazy and worthless can one human being be?

i feel like that kinda defeats the purpose, that would make them extra soapy. which he will probably need to rinse them out after the wash. what a waste of water too. you should "sell a honda civic" for him.

I'm sort of grumpy with myself today, drank too much rocket fuel (Cheap Vodka) yesterday. Hungover to the max.

[Not A Nice Person]

Decided to invest in fulvic acid, and trying to get my family/friends onto it because I don't want them to be thoroughly affected by Chemtrails but I don't think they are listening to me. I normally wouldn't care because it's their choice but I just hate to see the government affecting them while they voluntarily accept it. : (

Good times. The only thing worse than drinking it is throwing it back up.

[Not A Nice Person]

what qualifies as real sh*t? the government is spraying our environment and I don't know about anyone else but that is a cause for concern...

thank you Raavi but I don't trust state news lol. https://wakeup-world.com/category/environment/geoengineering/

[make total destroy]

what qualifies as real sh*t?

Things that actually exist within or correlate with reality. In other words, not chemtrails.

 

 

the government is spraying our environment

With what? For what purpose? What proof do you have?

 

 

and I don't know about anyone else but that is a cause for concern...

Who is behind all of this, the Jews? The Easter Bunny? Obama/Satan? Big gubment?

Did you just really question the credibility of an academic survey of experts in the relevant field by citing a website called 'wakeup-world.com'?

Chemtrails are very much reality, you can deny it but when in the future you develop dementia from exposure and can't remember your grandkids names atleast know I told you so. I am curious how you're so positive this concern isn't valid though.

If I can't remember the names of my grandchildren, I doubt very much I'll be able to remember the ramblings of somebody that believes in chemtrails. Meanwhile, I'll hope you have a prescription to treat the rash contracted from that tin foil hat.

[Audi]

OMG they're pumping chemicals in the water and making all the frogs gay! And no one will listen to me. This makes me grumpy.

[Mr. Scratch]

By the sh*t you post I'd say you've hit dementia pretty damn early.

[RedDagger]

Fun fact: state media will always lie to you 100% (unless it conforms to my biases) and a random blog with definitely no agenda will never ever lie to me

 

I imagine you think of yourself as a sceptic, an independent thinker or what-have-you...yet you blindly trust a random blog?

 

lmao get outta here

I greatly enjoy ripping the sh*t out of idiot conspiracy theories, so I'll humour you- what exactly do you think these chemtrails contain, what's the purpose, how are they distributed and what evidence is there to support them?

Well, they technically exist:

 

 

But instead of giving people dementia, they give people enough food to survive.
