We've forgotten these groups of people who seem to stop on the threshold of (insert favorite loblaws associated grocery store) and make a huge production of removing their masks and 'breathing the air of freedom'. While blocking all traffic in and out.

I watched one stop to do it, and get immediately knocked over by a little old lady who wasn't able to stop the cart as quickly. :rofl:

Meaning they're in someone's pocket at the office? Not something I would advertise.

I think I've complained about this in this thread months ago. +Rep
That already means a thing!! You don't get to decide it also means a thing that's completely different from the thing it already means!!

I also know someone that says 'thanks in a million', which i think should be 'thanks a million' but confused with 'once in a million'.

Seeing people's nose's uncovered in stores (typically Canadian Tire, Walmart or Costco..). Like fuckoff old timer, we know youre breathing through your nose, and thats kind of the point of wearing a mask..

TD's dropped the ball big-time lately.
They tried to contact me re: an insurance issue at a phone number which is 6 years out of date, which i've requested them to remove from my profile three times previously. Following that, they decided not to bill my wife for insurance for 10 months and didn't really bother to tell us.

Buncha dumbdumbs over there.

Cigarette smokers who complain about the price of gas, or anything and everything else...or constantly complaining about how they have no money.

My MIL who smokes said she thinks $200 is a lot of money :banghead:

People who pull to the right when they are getting ready to turn left. Nothing makes me want to ram your rear end more than when you do this!

CBC marketplace segments.
God damn awful investigating that counteracts their case.

Truly I wish I could talk to those incompetent producers.
