Wait to you see middle aged dudes on skateboards, it's worrying phenomena.

I see grown ups,male & female, with those fold able blade scooters on the commute to CBD. I'll have to go up to one and ask one day "wtf"

Sports jerseys. Why do people spend so much money on clothing made of artificial material emblazoned with someone else's name? On top of that they change the kits around every year so you know what you bought is obsolete by next season.

Because a jersey worn by a real player is scarce, so it has value. It's worthless, but to these clowns there is a market for this crap.

Working professional women who wear runners or other athletic shoes in their public transit commutes. How impractical is your office footwear you can't walk a few blocks in them?

It's a way to save money on resoles. Lots of my coworkers do it for that reason. They have a pair or two of loafers under their desk, which they slip on if they need to walk somewhere in the office.

This has been around forever. You ever wear women's shoes and try to walk any distance comfortably?

Couples who make it a point to embrace or kiss regularly during morning commutes. Some even, when separated by the commuting horde, wait aside to hug, or kiss, or smile, or some other public expression of affection. Must people do it every single morning? I presume the couple returns home and stares at each other for the rest of the time. Is the other partner at risk of going and never returning?

I agree I've been in a packed standing room only train and see couples doing that goofy canoodling stuff for the whole 30 mins with each other - at 7 fucking 30 am!! - its like those who must hand hold ALL THE TIME. I have them pegged as controllers, stalkers, domestic violence bullies and potential murderers.

Me neither, it's a toss up! Could be a very sunny but humid 30C, could be a gloomy 18C with a constant drizzie the whole week. Might very well be that it alternates between those two. Have fun packing!

Nope. Probably on some Caribbean island. Doesn't devaluate my expert top top weather forecast though

Hmm. I speculate a child has been kidnapped on this godforsaken airfield.

Yet you still have mobile service.
I am tired of people holding a mobile in front of them as they walk. Most hold their hands outstretched. One Asian did his with a selfie stick. I thought it was Asian tourists but now I see white people doing it. What in God's name is so important you need to do video chat as you walk? As a recipient of such video, I don't want to vomit from motion sickness.

All of Saskatchewan is godforsaken. But it has crown corporation Telecom. Mobile service for all.

You are telling me. They are also slugging down cough syrup, huffing propane & Silly String propellant and changing tampons.

I've never been but my parents took the train and said they saw endless flat land. My brother landed to do a deal and never slept from the hayfever and flew out the next day.

Ring 311. Get the service staff out there to clear the rubbish. It's obviously filthy.

There is no staff. There is no airport. Just an airstrip where druggies come to congregate

Give $5 to the nearest cretin and asked them to clear the needles, tampons, and other sharps in your path to the plane?

Colonialism did right by a good many people - especially my family. I make no apologies for it. The downtrodden were already on their way down as your photographic evidence shows. At least they got tampons and drugs instead of bleeding down their thighs and gnawing at magic mushrooms in a field.

If the weather forecast says 17c, why do you go fetch your wool overcoat or Canada Goose coat in the morning? For that matter, when it heats up after twelve noon, why do you persist wearing it when a linen scarf and a slightly heavier weight suit jacket is making people warm?
I thought it was Indians or Middle Eastern people from temperate climes but I saw Caucasians and Asians do it too.

It was top of 17C here today - if you were in a sheltered spot in sun at about 2 pm to 4pm, it could be almost warm. At 7 am it was about 8C. We call that cold. See my WIWT. Its 9.30 pm now - I have heating on - its back down to 12C

Yeah it was nippy yesterday morning too, but knowing most of the day from 10 onwards is warm, can't people just tough it out? This is the commuting crowd and last I checked we weren't sitting in open air train carriages or walking tens of kilometres on windswept plains to work.

Yes but he was the victim of a vindictive, lactating Starbucks/Best Buy employee.
Or some such.

It use to be glue sniffing bags, used condoms and half read porn magazines back in my day.

These days I have been seeing a woman in the financial district who wraps a cloth or shirt on her face. This isn't a burqa or chodor. She literally cannot see except maybe faintly through pores in the fabric. It's like seeing a mummy. I've seen her on the street as well as in the office building retail areas. Today I passed by her and she turned to face an lit advert with a coffee cup and proceeded to make moaning noises.

I was bored waiting for someone and found others on the Internet have noticed the same woman. I now remember sometimes she wraps a burberry scarf in front of her face.

She saw you reflected in a shop window?
