44 here. If you are in a public place and feel physically safe, you can stop putting up with that nonsense. It was so freeing to me when I realized I didn’t not have settle for astonished but polite when men do something bizzare/awful like interrupt you when you are talking with your boyfriend about wine. This may…

Here’s why I despise the Quebecois: they literally insisted on removing all the dual-language street signs, and replacing them with French-only street signs, at significant public expense. Seriously, WTF Quebecois? 

That’s kind of why I liked the first pair? I dunno, I enjoy them.  But in all fairness, I have been told that I like ugly shoes.

France & Germany are developing countries? Hell, Turkey for that matter, is pretty urban, has a modern, standing army, etc. Argentina went to war with the U.K. 30 years ago, for crying out loud. The two South American countries on the list may have some development issues (one is not possessed of a large number of…

I’m so glad she said this, and she’s dead right about it. Every single lawmaker should be called on the carpet like this, every day. They shouldn’t be able to show their faces in public anywhere without being demanded to do their jobs. I’m not sure shame has any power anymore, but it’s worth trying.

Huh?

France and Germany are developed countries. And Argentina, Brazil, and Turkey are on the cusp of being developed too.

I don't understand how the best sitcom ever, The Good Place, wins nothing.

Yeah, this.

“In this age of Google translate, how hard is it to remember a few words like hello, please and thank you???”

In the South, people want to be polite and start a conversation before asking for directions or advice. But, up north in the “big city”, just get to the point and move on.  People are busy. 

I don’t have any citations, but I read somewhere that traffic studies have shown the zipper merge is faster and creates fewer delays than the “OMG, don’t let that guy in,” nonsense.

This probably goes for any city, not just my beloved Toronto, but people who just SUDDENLY STOP while walking. Gotta stop to look at a text? Cool, maybe just “pull over” off to the side? I hate nearly walking into someone and getting a sour look from them when THEY’RE the one who stopped dead on a busy street.

Additiona…

Well then you don’t fucking understand how this is supposed to work. Passive aggression at its best.

Boston dick move: yield to other cars who have the right of way, therefore holding up all the cars behind you, who are much more important than the person you’re yielding to (obviously!).

On the subway, people who 1) lean on poles so you can’t hold on (or, worse yet, just lean on your hand, which was already hanging on to the pole). 2) Walk through the train’s door and then just stop, making it difficult for the people behind to get on the train. 3) Don’t let people off the train before jamming through…

Bus to the airport named the 747, that’s clever! 

Lands End down coats.

According to this I am a 32F. I don't think my size exists... um....

It sounds confusing (as bra shopping can sometimes be), but this could help you save some time selecting a bra that will actually fit.
