We'll sing them around Ottawa this August
It bugs me that the city would pass a no-idling bylaw, and then not bother to synchronize the traffic lights to reduce the amount of time everyone spends idling at stop lights.
This is the most inane cell phone conversation heard 10,0000 times a day while riding on any OC Transpo Bus "Hi, it's me. I said 'IT'S ME!' I'll be there in 5 minutes. Yep, that's right. Five minutes." What's so important about a 5- minute wait that you can't resist calling the person you are about to meet, and will know you're there when they see you standing in front of them in about, I dunno, 5 minutes?
I hate recycling my cereal boxes. I feel like my neighbours are judging what I eat
ReplyDeleteI won't be able to afford bus tickets soon.
ReplyDeleteWhen they put in the new Pay and Display parking system, there's now no posts to lock my bike to. You have to walk blocks sometimes!
ReplyDeleteJust because you're inside your car doesn't mean you're allowed to pick your nose. We can still see you.

ReplyDeleteI can justify spending $500 on a BBQ but I can't justify giving change to those begging for money on the streets.
ReplyDeletePeople who smoke while walking -- if I'm behind you I'm breathing in your 2nd hand smoke.
ReplyDeletePlease don't invite me to your Tupperware, jewelry, or candle party. I'd rather buy it on sale at Winners!
ReplyDeleteThe bars close too early! Downtown is a dead zone.
ReplyDeleteGrocery deserts across the city! Plan for urban efficiencies, pedestrians, not cars and sprawl.
ReplyDeleteBus drivers! Wow. They need to follow the law too.
ReplyDeleteThe winters are too cold and snowy, the summers are too hot. Spring is non-existant. Fall is OK I guess.
ReplyDeleteThe #14 bus smells of sweat & urine. I call it the 'Yellow Fog.'

ReplyDeleteHey, Hey!
ReplyDeleteHo, HO!
This protest song
has got to go!
Ottawa Police beating up on people and getting away with it!
ReplyDeleteListening to government employees complain about their anglophone co-workers at lunch.
ReplyDeleteI can't get ahead in my job because I don't speak French.
ReplyDeleteIf it's not the coyotes, or moose, it's the bears in my backyard.
ReplyDeleteOttawa summers are tooo humid. It makes my hair frizzy, frizzy, frizzy!
ReplyDeleteOttawa drivers are the worst in the country. Pedistrians do not exist at all. Walking in the Market can be an adventure.
