I think it's Rage2 and Kenny.

[Tik-Tok]

I think their combined names resembles this car

[The_Rural_Juror]

Redlyne_MR2?

[Disoblige]

No one on Beyond ever annoyed me enough to ignore them.
I usually tend to argue with them, typically they're scammers.

I like to hear other peoples' opinions as I can be a dummy a lot of times. The COVID thread has really taught me to just let it be after a while. Kind of like free entertainment with real local people.

When a dumbfuck sitting still in the middle of the road looking at their phone honks at me for driving around them.

I swear people drive even stupider in the suburbs because of the 30kph limit

What 30kph limit? Aren't all residential roads still 50kph in Calgary except for playground zones?

[Sentry]

My whole suburb is 30 due to schools and playgrounds everywhere. My point being, people take driving even less seriously at low speeds.

People who think that the correct response to a smoke alarm is to wave a dish towel at it, instead of opening windows.

[SKR]

I've take a smoke detector out and frisbeed it into the backyard, and then yelled at it "go beep out there you fuckin needy cunt". Where is that on the scale of correct to incorrect?

A reasoned and reasonable response.

People who use anecdotes towards others who are seeking factual advice.

[ThePenIsMightier]

People who use the term "out of pocket" to describe being away from cell service or internet/email access.
There is already a term for that and it's off the grid.
Out of pocket already meant experiencing an unplanned financial burden that should've been someone else's.

I don't get to decide that Bob's Your Uncle now means "I'm late for work because my car caught on fire and I was subsequently raped at gunpoint by the person I flagged down to assist me" so why should anyone else get to arbitrarily change the meaning of an existing colloquialism?

"Johnson!! Why are you late for work, again!!?"
"Sorry, Boss. Bob's your uncle..."

I find that the Millennial generator is a top offender for this. I have noticed it as well.
