I don't know if this belongs in this thread or the other one, but when someone you have on your ignore list posts in a thread that is relevant to you, then you click to see what they wrote, and get dragged into an argument with them. I gotta learn to trust my ignore list.

The ignore list is a false sense of security.

Yeah I think Ontario and Quebec too. I've been readin a lot of threads on the /r/personalfinancecanada and almost every budget refers to it as hydro lol.

nobody said pet peeves have to be rational

Ummm... Quebec is crawling with hydro.

i get it, but my point is even if was 100% hydroelectric, there would still be a gas portion of the bill so i just don't like the term "hydro bill". A better term is "utilities bill" which is generic to cover gas/electric/sewer/water/recycling etc, and universal across the world (where the utility companies don't have the word 'Hydro' in their name).

maybe this should be in the "pet peeves that shouldn't be pet peeves" thread lol

It does, but yeah, I also agree. Even in town here when people talk about their Enmax bill. Okayyyy, so what's on your Enmax bill? Do you have everything through them, or is your gas with someone else? How about your electricity? Are you just talking about your water and sewer?

Isn’t the utility company in Ontario HydroOne?

Sounds like getting upset for people using the word Kleenex instead of facial tissue

Except that "hydro" refers to electricity. I can't say I've ever heard anyone use the term to generically refer to their overall utilities Either way it's lame you're right. Whether electricity is made from solar, wind, hydro, etc. It's still just electricity.

You're right, but only if there isn't a separate gas provider and often there is. BC Hydro doesn't sell gas, so you would get a HYDRO BILL, plus a Fortis gas bill, for example.
Ne peeve pet pas.

People in Alberta referring to a "hydro bill"? They can go die in a fire.

All spaced just far enough apart that you read one text, put your phone back in your pocket, and then the next one comes.

When people constantly complain how shitty their life is and don’t do anything to change it.

Can we assume a recent Costco trip of yours was memorable fir the wrong reasons?

[schocker]

Yes, heard someone drop something far away and thought nothing of it until I noticed it all over the items in my cart, jeans and tshirt. I initially had thought my berries were dripping.
