1. Common sense, WTF? （ 94 ｜ 34 ｜ 30）
Original English title:Homesense, WTF?
Post summary:Dude, fuck Homesense. So I'm looking for some shirts today - and suddenly my stomach starts bubbling. I'm like, oh god, I need to get to a washroom ASAP. Run to the back of the store and the clerk tells me the washroom is permanently closed. What? After a quick Google search, apparently they're doing this across the board? If improvisers are causing them problems, can't they just have staff use a keycode to let people in? People should complain. I should just shit on the floor

- What's the rest of the story? Did you make it? (54)
EN: What’s the second half of this story? Did you make it? - Refusing (or not having) washrooms in public places should be illegal. A lot of people have health conditions and may need immediate access. I'd love to piss my pants while making eye contact with the store staff, just to prove a point. (38)
EN: It should be illegal to deny (or not have) washrooms in a public place. So many people have health issues that might require immediate access. I've been tempted to pee my pants while making eye contact with shop workers - Dude, I don't blame them, lmao. As a former employee, the washrooms were always a disaster. Old ladies were the worst everywhere. Sometimes it would be all over the walls and floor. Once we found someone doing drugs in the accessible stall. (20)
EN: Man, I don’t blame them lmao. As a former employee the washrooms were always horrendous. The old ladies were the worst-shit everywhere. Sometimes it would be all over the walls and floor. One time we found someone doing - Giant Tiger has a nice washroom... hope you make it. (14)

2. Warning - 12/16 line （ 64 ｜ 42 ｜ 11）
Original English title:Warning- 12/16 line
Post summary:Make sure to arrive ten minutes early today. The dark-haired woman driving showed up almost five minutes early and left me behind. She was at the stop right in front of me, watched me wave at her to let me on as I ran across the road, and even though I made it, she just smiled and drove off. Seeing drivers act like this on top of everything else is ridiculous, especially with the fare increase; there's zero chance she missed me, and she had plenty of time to stop. I was right under the wh sign

Make sure you’re a good ten minutes early today. The brunette woman driving just showed up nearly five minutes early, and left me behind. She was at the stop directly before mine, watched me wave her down as I ran across the street, and despite me making it just smiled and drove by. It’s fucking ridiculous to see drive

- Call and report it Monday morning. All you need is the time and the stop number or location, and they can easily track who it was. (15)
EN: Call and report it Monday morning. All you need is the time and the stop number or location and they can easily track who it is. - The buses have GPS; you'd think it would be easy to prevent this. A report from a consultant a few years ago noted how strangely often this happens. (12)
EN: They have GPS on the buses; you'd think it would be easy to put a stop to that. A report from a consultant a couple years ago pointed out how weird it was how often it happened. - Definitely fill out a complaint form on the transit website, if you Google it and select transit, it'll be at the bottom of the page. I'd like to believe they get seen by staff somehow. John's buses are brutal for this too, I've been tracking it for the past few months - averaging 4 minutes early, up to 10 minutes early at the Langworthy stop. Sure hope to see improvement on this, I always feel bad for the runners who don't make it (sometimes that's me) (6)

It's a bad situation when drivers who show up every day get harassed by passengers because all the other buses keep breaking down. Nobody cares anymore. (5)

3. Cumberland Street bus "terminal" （ 42 ｜ 20 ｜ 11）
Original English title:Cumberland st bus “terminal”
Post summary:I've been working downtown for the past few days, and watching the Cumberland block in front of the Whale is hilarious. Some drivers don't realize the street is closed as a temporary terminal, so whenever a non-bus vehicle drives through, the bus drivers hiss and act like security or cops. Saw one driver jump in front of a vehicle during a smoke break and force them to turn around. Saw a bus stopped at a green light with a dump truck behind it honking

I’ve been working downtown the last few days and watching the block of Cumberland in front of the Whalen is hilarious. Some drivers don’t realize that the street is closed to be the temporary terminal, so any time a vehicle that not a bus drives down, the bus drivers have hissy fits and act like they are security or co
Featured comments:
- It's not just drivers "throwing tantrums." The idiots in this city think the rules and laws don't apply to them. Non-transit vehicles driving through there is a safety issue, especially when these clowns go through at over the speed limit. It's been designated as a temporary bus terminal by the city, so there are constantly hundreds of people crossing the road. The drivers are "hissing" because they're tired of almost getting hit themselves, and their passengers have to dodge idiots who do whatever they want. (20)
EN: It’s not just about the drivers having “hissy fits”. It’s the idiots in the city who feel rules and laws don’t apply to them. It’s a safety issue having non-transit vehicles to drive through there, especially when these - This isn't funny. Someone could die or get hurt. There are lots of signs blocking anyone from entering the bus corridor, and with these buses piling up, I see a lot of people crossing the road blindly. Also, how hard is it to see the area is blocked off and want to turn back and go the way you came. (6)

There are plenty of signs to prevent anyone from coming into the bus corridor and with those busses being piled up I have seen lots of folks crossing the road blind. Al - The drivers in this city make Brampton drivers look trained and professional. (6)
EN: Drivers in this city make drivers in Brampton look highly trained and professional. - I agree. If those cars can run people over, why are drivers walking in front of them? tf. People keep saying bus drivers are stressed, but drivers go out of their way to stand in front of moving vehicles and argue. Those "road closed" signs could be managed better. They're pushed to the side, almost on the sidewalk, half covered in snow. The signs should be bigger and say "Temporary bus terminal. Buses only. Do not enter. Maximum fine $$$" (3)

4. Nice and pretty plus-size gym? （ 36 ｜ 8 ｜ 14）
Original English title:Good and nice plus size friendly gyms?
Post summary:Hi everyone! Are there any good, nice, usually quiet, not-so-busy gyms in town? I'd really appreciate it if it's also plus-size friendly. Currently overweight, 5'4" and 240 lbs. Trying to break the bad habit of rewarding myself with junk food.

Original English title:What is up with Door Dash in your city??
Post summary:This is the second time I've been at a hotel and ordered directly from the restaurant's website and been assigned to Door Dash. The first time, the driver didn't show up at the restaurant. This time, he showed up, then drove around the city for a while, and after I contacted support to cancel the order, he eventually showed up and dropped off the order. The food was cold, the drinks were flat, and I was a bit excited. I go to Winnipeg often and have never had any issues with any delivery service. That's why
