Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I recently (like this morning) got my spending cap taken off, seeing as I pay my bills on time and in full. I got a phone call/voicemail about 40 minutes ago saying that (my name, wtf recording..) I was $10 away from hitting my spending cap.

...

The spending cap I was taken off of?
IS IT STILL THERE? GODDAMN YOU, SOLO MOBILE AND YOUR FUCKING PARENT COMPANY BELL.

So I try calling their call centre, and the CALL CENTRE IS CLOSED. GRRRR, GODDAMN CANADA DAY.

So I'm going to the mall (was planning on it, anyways), and there's a Solo Mobile booth there. Going to SHOVE MY BILL IN THEIR FACE AND ASK WTF IS GOING ON.
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

While I was driving home from teh Home Depots wif my daddy dearest, I was a few cars behind the first car at the light. So we get the green light, we start going, and WHOOSH, CYCLIST ALMOST GETS CREAMED.

WTF, CYCLIST. No helmet, just ZOOM DISREGARD THE FUCKING RULES I'M A CYCLIST.

Vancouver has a MASSIVE problem with cyclists. Most of them don't give a shit about road rules--they have to obey rules as they are vehicles ON THE ROAD. They have to stop at stop signs, they have to yield to pedestrians at pedestrian-controlled lights, they have to stay in their lane.

Nope, no they don't. They can TAKE UP A LANE WITH FOUR OF THEM SIDE BY SIDE. They can NOT WEAR HELMETS. They can NOT WEAR REFLECTIVE GEAR AT NIGHT. They can SWERVE ALL OVER THE ROAD. They can GO THROUGH RED LIGHTS AND GET HIT BY CARS. They can PEDAL REAL SLOW AND GET IN THE WAY.

I don't hate all cyclists--there are ones that follow the rules, that wear helmets, that don't go through red lights. But Vancouver is far from being a bike-friendly city, even though we have a bazillion bike lanes, trails, bike shops, whatever.

Just some fucking retarded ignorant IDIOTS WHO ARE OUT THERE AND THEY SUE PEOPLE IN CARS WHEN IT'S THEIR FUCKING FAULT THEY GET BRAIN DAMAGE FROM NOT BEING VISIBLE AT NIGHT AND NOT WEARING A FUCKING HELMET GODDAMN I HATE PEOPLE SO BAD.

Oh, happy Canada Day.

Calm down, the phone stuff is probably a misunderstanding, just show the paperwork that proves the cap was taken off, and if your not on a contract with them, threaten to leave in case they just ignore you, don't let others recklessness make you miserable, if they crash it's there own fault, the bike will take most of the damage, and hopefully your insurance will cover any damage you take.

just don't get all angry.

I've seriously been considering switching phone providers for a while, and if it wasn't resolved, I would have cancelled my service.

But it was resolved, error on their side.

I'll get angry because I can. :3

Happy Canada Day, Sweetie.

Did you make the guys at the Solo Mobile booth cry like little girs?

Jul. 3, 2009 | 2:04 AM JadeTheAssassin responds:

Thank you!

And no, they didn't know what was going on with that, and they don't handle billing. I called customer service when i got home from work and they sorted it out. :)

This is why I live the life of an Amish man: to not have to worry about your devil phones or your modern day people riding metal horses.

I'm going to Vancouver in the end of July/August. I like to think it's my second home. If I see some uni chick yelling redfaced at poor cyclists out the window of her car, I'll come over.

Jul. 3, 2009 | 9:57 PM JadeTheAssassin responds:

If you see a woman probably blasting Billy Idol or Bloodhound Gang in her car, screaming with an embarassed 19 year old guy on the passenger side in the Kerrisdale area, you'll know it's me.

Run away.

Or you know, we'll try and get a minimeet set up while you're here. Try and see if MattTheParanoidKat wants to hang out.

cyclists do the same shit here. :-(

It's a cool idea but I'm stuck with family. I guess they're paying for it so I have no reason to complain.

It's good to chat Vancouver though. I've visited a lot of places but it's one of the few where I've felt...very comfortable. I don't think those words do it justice; it's an intangible mix of familiarity and opportunity. A large part of that was the incessant summer rain. That just cried out to my Englishness.

Hopefully in a few years your dollar will be dirt cheap again so I can come out and independently visit...stay in a hostel or something. Prime meet-up situation.
