When people are selling their cars on kijiji and don't know how to spell the name of their own fucking car....

IE: MontY carlo and VolkswagOn gUlf

They’re less likely to be found so you can offer lower and since they don’t have traffic get your offer accepted

Believe me, as a welder, looking at some structural welds on dynamic things such as Rollercoasters etc....i don't know how the fuck some people have jobs.

TELUS' live chat agent that is not that - when I click on the live chat link I want to chat with a warm breathing and somewhat intelligent being somewhere and not a fucking computer robot chat thing. Yeah, yeah Darren Entwistle, I know it's all about shareholder returns but a god damn computerized live chat that can't understand anything more complex than is it sunny outside in Calgary today? Give me a break. Darren, how about giving up a few of those shareholder profit margins and actually hiring warm intelligent bodies that can provide real answers - I shouldn't have to type in "I want to chat with a live agent" when I've just clicked live chat.

I guess there's a reason why I resigned from that hell nome almost 13 years ago - my values did not align with Daren's pervasive TELUS values and I didn't see myself continuing along on both of my knees grovelling at the Darren altar.

I'm wondering if they tinkered with the allergy meds this year. The new ones I bought back in April are definitely worse than the leftovers from last year...

I get hammered hard at the start of the season - snowmold birch and lilacs, but it's persisting longer than usual.

I've met some real dumbasses in this industry. Journeyman just means they've been at it for 4 years and were able to pass a couple tests.

The Oilers potentially winning another #1 pick has turned me into a jerkier jerk. How could they have cracked the matrix before me?

Like the FCC?
Did they try to shut you down on MTV?

When you complete something at work, and submit it by email to the person leading that project, and then, a week later while you are on vacation, someone else starts sending emails around to multiple groups asking why you haven't done your part yet.

When you trust someone to complete recurring tasks at work, and then, a week later while they are on vacation, people start sending emails around to multiple groups asking why the task wasn't done yet, and after the fifth call they pick up and say "hehe oops", and when you end up trying to help you realize that they fubared the spreadsheet and you end up working late typing with 8 fingers while eating a bag of Cheetos as your only form of sustenance.

Saw an ad on Kijiji tonight.

"Like new truck"

"Excellent condition"

"Some rust"

Imagine being able to say that something is "like new" and "excellent" and also has "some rust". If I ever saw that guy in person I'd never be able to stop stabbing him.

Did you stab the "fully loaded except..." guy? Is that why he doesn't post anymore? Oh god.

Amen. Especially annoying when I’m looking at GMT800s and I can clearly see paint missing in the photos but description says “mint”
