RANTS: A 61-year-old gives young man a lesson on etiquette

Just got home after taking the Davie bus. You are a 30ish casually but well dressed dude who was sitting in the aisle seat with your briefcase on the other. You were listening to tunes with nice headphones while you were texting.

You were listening to tunes with nice headphones while you were texting. The bus was crowded and I got up and gave my seat to an elderly lady which apparently you did not notice as there were several other older people left standing. I am 61. Keep it up man! You are a real CLASS act!!

RE: Pit bulls are like loaded M 16, . While it is sad that a dog was attacked and killed by another dog, people need to stop blaming the breed. I have encountered much more vicious little dogs than big dogs, and in my years of pet experience and dog handling, I have never come across an aggressive dog of any breed that had a good owner. Blame the owner, not the dog. Any dog can attack. Saying that a breed is the problem is ignorant. Educate yourself. A bad dog is a reflection of a bad owner, not a bad breed.

To the guy who sneaks into West End apartment buildings and knocks on doors claiming to be a neighbour needing money for a cab because his boyfriend is arriving from the airport sleep well, neighbour. You will answer to kharma.

Re: , Rants. Imagine that you are one of the House Hunters on the show Option 1 is the green button on the right. This changes the channel. Option 2 is the blue button on the left. This mutes the sound. Option 3 is the red Off button at the top of the clicker. Folks, let us help Anonymous decide which is the best option all of the above.

I live in a large apartment building in the West End and we now have brand new smart washers and dryers. In order to do our laundry, we need approval from the suite owner (if you are a renter) or from the strata council (if you are an owner.) Once you get approval, you need a computer and a credit card, just to do laundry ! Technology is not making our lives any easier. Theres a laundromat a block away, and for all the extra hassle, Id rather give it my business.
