@LisaLisaBoBisa I read a thread today where cyclists were complaining that it's pedestrians who are not careful!!! Are you kidding me? I have to be careful on a green light to watch out for freaking cyclists who plow through the crosswalk when they have the red, and I'm the one who isn't careful?
TLC show Epic Meal Empire. What a freaking waste of food when people are starving!
I don't see how that's possible.. We don't walk on the road and have to obey our traffic lights in order to not get hit by a car - so maybe they should obey traffic signals as well and we'd be fine.. what they fail to add is that they don't feel like the red lights are for them - they (as someone mentioned) want to be a vehicle on the road but also use crosswalks? UGH!!!Quote:

I called ups office and they said they cant do anything about it and I'll have to wait to recieve it. Not only have I wasted 2 days sitting at home waiting for the dumb thing!!! I neeeeed that package before saturday ugh
Cashier at Walmart kept at me to sign up for a Walmart MasterCard even though I said no thank you twice. He seemed a bit uptight I didn't sign up for one. My choice!
im working on something. i got a few people who have a lot of pull on my side and they are not impressed with those who handled this crap.Quote:

Pedestrians might want to get some helmets and GoPro cameras>cellphones must have a way to run recordings while alighting from public transit. If car dashboard cams are helping to put TTC buses on notice about running reds on social media sites, social media cams could do the same for cyclists not obeying the HTA.
torontogal12-the audio/cellphone cyclist-scary situation! The worst I saw in downtown was a cyclist next to a skateboarder-teens>both of whom yelled verbal abuse at middle-aged couple on the downward stretch of Yonge southbound because the cyclist and boarder both expected PEDESTRIANS on the sidewalk to part like the Red Sea before they came through. Boarder actually shoved at the man from behind.
I think the cyclists are taking advantage of the lowlight levels and shorter days to scoot around without much reprimand because many pedestrians just want to get to their destinations with the least fuss possible. Just waiting for another Darcy Shepherd type incident to bring cyclist/car conflict stories back into the press/tv news stations but with pedestrian casualities.
A rant about misleading advertising... I went to Payless today because they advertised "Entire Boot Stock up to 50% off". I was looking at the boots and an employee approached me and asked if I needed help. I asked her if the boots I was looking at were 50% off. She said no, that only some boots were on sale. Not sure why they would advertise the words ENTIRE STOCK if only a handful of boots were on sale. And of those that were on sale it was for a lot less than -50%. I asked her to show me which boots were actually 50% off. She took me down an aisle and said "well actually it's just this one pair..." Are you kidding me?! An email and big signs advertising ENTIRE STOCK OF BOOTS 50% OFF when in reality it was 1 pair? Wow talk about misleading advertising. Even if it's technically legal it definitely says something about how Payless does business.
Agreed!!! Payless is overpriced and never has a great selection.. I hate their narrow isles and entire setup.. SHOES on display in the box? Tacky... :)

Why? Because they didn't bother to check the apartment number on the package. I never buy from a place that ships UPS because they've been nothing but awfulQuote:

Plus half the shoes have clearly been worn outside and they'll try to tell you the mud on the bottom is from people walking around in them in the store.Quote:
