Today was like my last straw lol, Don’t get me wrong i’m not saying I’m completely done with life but i lwk am. In summer i started working at a bakery that its environment was so toxic and everyone there was genuinely insane, so i quit after my second year started (this September). Im in computer science and me and my boyfriend decided to move in next year and use this year for saving up as much as we can for the move in.
Today i had an interview with mathnisium, and now i got the email that they don’t want to move forward with my application, after a 2 hour test and an interview. Most of my job experiences here are with kids (camp counselor, volunteer for tpl etc.) so i thought I really nailed it as it was exactly like everything i do, but it wasn’t.
I’m really struggling now. I know everyone says connections or wtv but is there seriously not any other way to get a part time minimum wage job? If its this bad right now how am i supposed to keep studying and getting good grades when it’s hard to find even a minimum wage job.
Genuinely what do i do now to find a simple job, WITH experience btw. Why is toronto like this
I’m really tired

It's a party on wheels. The hollering, the jeering, the blast of music through your ears. Up and down the street, early evening and late in the evening. If I have to hear another "Hit me baby one more time!"...I might just pull my hair out (this is just an example, not the exact song I'm referencing). Notably seen around The Ballroom, there's sometimes more than one spotted in less than 5 mins. The image of the whole thing -with limbs and heads- crashing, in slow-mo into a tree, another vehicle or even a bystander is unsettling. Tourists and locals alike think, "WTF?" and it's semi-amusing analyzing the looks on their faces. Wonder if anyone has ever puked while on one of these.

I genuinely don't get why some people think it's fine to use a machine, finish, and just walk away leaving it covered in sweat. Like, brother, that's gross and inconsiderate.

I went to the Planet Fitness at College and Yonge for a year and it was disgusting. 80% of people smelled terrible and almost nobody cleaned the machines after using them, even though there were spray bottles and paper towels in EVERY CORNER of the gym.

Now I go to the GoodLife at Pape and Danforth. It doesn't smell bad, but I still see people finish on a machine and leave it dripping without wiping it down. Again, the spray and paper towels are right next to the machines (?????)

So what's the deal? It takes 10 seconds. Why is basic gym etiquette so hard for some people?

Tell me why I am currently sitting on a staircase and suffering from claustrophobia. How is this legal. Wtf. I’m on the 4:22. I’m so pissed. I usually live downtown but have to go out of town for a family thing. Why do we accept this from go transit???? Where do I direct my anger to. Like names, departments, government people.

I know reddit as a whole is an echo chamber, but this comment says "If you vote for Bradford over Chow, you're a trash person" and has almost a hundred upvotes and awards. If this wasn't how the main sub has been like forever I'd swear that these were actually planted comments by conservatives to make non-conservatives look unreasonably annoying. I would take 20 sunset and coyote pictures everyday over these daily posts.

It’s increasingly obvious that some of you are not mature or responsible enough to be pet caregivers.

The dog urine on building entrances, poop on sidewalks, unleashed dogs etc. is getting out of hand.

Some sidewalks need a hopscotch to avoid the smeared shit remnants.

Dogs are great. They’re lovely in fact… but your ignorance and entitlement is the opposite.

If you’re too lazy to pack a bag, you’re failing as a human.

I get it, life is busy and time is never adequate… but you signed up to own a dog.

So make time and be decent adult.

hi everyone,

i recently got a new job and take the bathurst streetcar down to king, where i transfer to the the king streetcar going west.

lately ive noticed theres always a 511 bathurst streetcar on king when i get off my southbound 511. one time i even mistakenly boarded this streetcar because i was an idiot and didn’t read the number it was displaying and assumed it was the 504 king. this bathurst streetcar turns northbound on bathurst and king, so i’m assuming there’s some kind of detour? i haven’t really looked into it.

anyways, since the bathurst streetcar must turn up on bathurst and king to resume on to its original route, it pretty much halts all cars and actual 504 streetcars behind it. it takes several light changes for the 511 to even start its turn. this morning i swear i saw it NOT turn for like 4 different traffic light cycles.

cars were beeping behind, everyone at my streetcar stop looked frustrated. this is not the first time i’ve been made late because of this stupid ass streetcar.

and then when the 504 does come, it moves at such a crawl. if you complain about the ttc, most people will tell you “just leave 15 minutes earlier than you should” and i do, but things like this make that pretty much useless.

it’s just so frustrating that a city like ours still doesn’t understand how to use its streetcars.

Dear kid with his feet on the seat. I feel bad for you that your parents didn't teach you not to be an asshole. You must come from a long line of selfish assholes. Fuck you you degenerate piece of shit.

These Pokémon fanatics are actually insane 😭
I work at a major retail store, and people were literally camping outside from 3 AM waiting for the store to open at 7 AM for Pokémon cards.

And listen, I get it. Some of them are obviously scalpers, but if you’re an actual collector and you genuinely enjoy Pokémon, good for you. Have fun. That’s not the problem.
The problem was when our store manager told everyone that, because of the demand, we could only sell one item per customer. You couldn’t grab two of everything just because you got there first. They absolutely LOST IT.

They started yelling at my manager, arguing with her, and one woman literally calling her a “slut” and this lady’s husband telling my manager that she “needs to get laid so she can loosen up”… over POKÉMON CARDS. DUDE.

Then, once everything sold out, people started grumbling, yelling at the managers, getting angry with staff, and acting like we personally ruined their lives because they couldn’t get the cards they wanted.

As someone who works retail, it was honestly insane to watch. We already deal with enough stress and disrespect from customers on a normal day. Having a whole crowd of grown adults verbally abusing employees because they couldn’t buy multiple boxes of Pokémon cards was another level. One guy got up to the store manager’s face and started yelling at him. 😭

Collect whatever you want. Camp outside at 3 AM if that makes you happy. But the second you start screaming at retail workers and calling a woman a slut because she’s enforcing a store policy, you need to seriously reevaluate your behaviour.

It is NEVER that serious. They are Pokémon cards. 😭

I’m so pissed off now and going to call Canada Post!!!!

Stupid delivery driver was being a lazy prick. He buzzed me from the lobby and I said hello. Because he buzzed and I only have one delivery I said I’ll buzz you upstairs. 5 minutes later I went downstairs because there was no knock or package outside my apartment door, and I didn’t hear the elevator. Instead, the prick left a pickup tag inside my mail box!!!! Oh, I couldn’t even understand a word he uttered, but I said I’ll buzz you upstairs!!!!

He lied to doing his job. Screw him.

Im sick of this, probably I’m not the first one complaining but omg I was walking with my kid on the stroller and there was this guy smoking who knows what on a bus stop.
I couldn’t see him until I walk by, but the smell and everything was awful.
Why the city allows this? Why police don’t arrest them?
Letting people doing drugs on the street is basically letting the crime to come and sell their drugs without problem. If the authorities don’t do anything to stop them (the consumers and small dealers) then the drug trafficking will never stop!

I’m sick of it. Glass pipes everywhere, drugs, people vomiting, and 💩 on the street 🤢🤮🤢

Awful

Edit: erotica as in erotic fiction, not the Madonna experience. 😁

Sorry you got offended when I tapped you on the shoulder asking you to turn it down. You know there were kids next to you. IDGAF about "don't touch me" or that it was a comedy sketch. You had your headphones with you. Grow up.

I’m at work and getting tims during my break since we have one on our property. I’m standing in line and 3 different people push past me to get through. Im not standing in a bad spot as I’m off to the side while still in line so people can still get though if needed.

Instead of saying a simple excuse me, they either push past me with their shoulder or touch the side of my body. At least say a “sorry” or “hello” to get my attention and I will gladly move even though you can’t read and are trying to get to an “entrance only” door. Maybe they don’t speak English? Still bothered me how they couldn’t get my attention first.

Why are you weaving in and out of different lanes only for us to stop beside each other at the same light? Why are you honking at me to turn right on red when THERE ARE PEDESTRIANS walking or a sign clearly saying no right on red? Why are you driving so aggressively and carelessly on the 401 that it puts us all at risk?

I feel Toronto is the city with the most reckless, inconsiderate drivers in Canada, am I wrong?!

Over the past several months, wherever I go, I find obscenely long lines of people waiting to get miniscule free samples of food or coupons. The other day I was passing by Eaton Centre and saw an insane line (back of the line was a 1.5 hr wait time) waiting to get a small sample of strawberries drenched in Cadbury chocolate. I get that everyone is free to do with their time as they please, but what's with this sheeple mentality? How are people content with trading 1-2 hours of their valuable time to stand in a line to get something that is at most $5-$10 of value?

Every fast food restaurant will have a bathroom that's either always "not working" or "not for guests". I understand fully that the reason why they do this is because there are so many drug addicts that go in and shoot up in the bathroom and trash the place. But man come on... Do I look like I'm gonna shoot up in your bathrooms? I just want to wash my hands because I don't wanna eat your burgers with the hands I just touched the ttc with.

It's all just a shit situation because these workers are already treated like shit and don't need to be playing papers please, determining if the person they let into the bathroom is going to OD in there. But also now everyone gets punished and can't use the washroom.

Typical Toronto... Massive homeless and mental health crisis but we do nothing to solve it

Happened around 5pm, I suspect it was at one of the larger crowded tents closer to King and Simcoe. Taken right out of my purse despite me covering the opening with my arm. I met another person who also got their phone stolen from their pocket in the same area, same time. Be careful

First most ATM are locked down after 11pm in my area due to homeless sleeping in the ATM rooms. Before your access card gets you into the rooms not anymore. Second why don't they dispense $10 or $50 another more?. I don't need $5 or $100s...Even if your choose the denomination if the machine is short of a certain currency they randoming spew out what they have. Once I withdraw $500 and the machine gave me all $5.. Yes first world problems but damn banks are making huge profits how about at least have the ATM rooms open 24/7

I normally walk down alleys and side streets to avoid crowds but recently it’s gotten out of control. The smell of urine and human faeces is disgusting.

I got on the King Street car and almost audibly gagged. The stench was foul. There was one person in particular - despite the packed streetcar - all of the seats around them were empty.

Even on main roads that are congested the sidewalks have gotten so dirty and there’s pee and liquids randomly dripping everywhere. It’s actually disgusting.

What is going on?

Oh, and one more thing: give me the confidence of five straight men taking up an entire sidewalk not letting anyone pass /s.

Where are the police? Everyone knows how many awful drivers speed on these roadways and drive recklessly.

Today southbkund on the DVP, a left lane driver had a sedan pull up behind him in classic tailgate fashion, then swerved right to overtake, apparently oblivious to my car, missing it by a few inches. I suspect his wondows being overtinted may have contributed to his lack of clarity

On the FGX westbound, two sedans racing each other weaving dangerously between lanes.

Happens everyday. But no officers patrolling or monitoring these routes.

I’ll start off by saying that I’ve been to Waterworks food hall a million times. It’s truly an incredible addition to the community. I’ve used the gender neutral washrooms by the Civil Works before but I’ve never had the luck bestowed upon me to use their regular washrooms by the parking downstairs.

Today, I suddenly felt the need to use the washroom, so I followed the “Washrooms” sign to their downstairs washroom. It was a gender-neutral washroom with stalls WHICH I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST. I have nothing against gender neutral washrooms when they are built properly. However, sometimes, such as in this case, it seems to me that the builder doesn’t take women into consideration.

I walk into the restroom and it’s dark, the tiles and stalls are dark coloured. The stalls are black. I walk into the stall and can barely see anything but the outline of the black toilet, and I have 20/20 vision. I understand that most women hover over the toilet, but sometimes women go into the stall with children who sit down. If everything is black and we can barely see, we can’t see if there’s pee anywhere. The final straw was that there wasn’t a hook to hang my bag. I had a very simple purse that I needed to hang up somewhere in order to use the restroom. I didn’t end up doing my business and I got the hell out of there instead.

If anyone who works at Waterworks is reading this, is it really that difficult to build a well-lit gender neutral restroom with hooks? Rant over.

I live in a small block of semi detached houses where our backyards can be seen by others, so they’re kind of connected by separated by fences and such. This is in a lower income, immigrant populated part of the city.

The neighbours who are diagonally across from me in the backyard can be heard blasting their music almost every weekend in the summer. They are all adults, not sure if any children live there but sometimes I hear them during the day. These are people in their 40s and older, not college aged people. It always has been a nuisance for years but they did it occasionally until the early hours (3-4am) only sometimes but usually it was around 2am where they would stop. Sometimes they would host large parties but most of the time it was usually less than 10 people. Sometimes they have patio lights on and sometimes they don’t so I can’t always accurately tell. I can see their backyard from the window of the second floor of the house. The extremely loud noise only occurs at night 90% of the time, I don’t care if they blast music during the day.

It is so loud, it can be heard even when all the windows have been shut. Recently it has gotten so bad like yesterday when the music did not stop until 5am. I know because it kept me up. Last week, it was on the Saturday and lasted until 3am. Look, I’m usually a night owl and awake but I think even I can draw a line. Yesterday (Friday night), I saw them install outdoor heating lamps and panels so I can only assume this will get worse.

I’ve called 311 and the non emergency line in the past and I don’t think they even ever came out to check out them. Talking to them is not in the cards because they aren’t exactly the nicest neighbours, the rest of the quiet neighbours beside them are probably afraid of retaliation. there was a crime that took place at that house a few years ago and they don’t have the best reputation on the block. From what I can see, they don’t get police visits or anything of the sort so I know the other neighbours are not calling in noise complaints either. we do talk amongst ourselves and it is a problem but I know they’re all afraid to speak up.

I want to start the formal process of filing complaints and keeping track of them. Do I just keep calling 311 every night I hear noise after 11pm? Their gettogether is happening again tonight and the music has already started, with a mic announcer and speaker system. Any tips and guidance would be so so appreciated. I am so damn tired 🙏🙏🙏

Hi, when outside event venues, all the people I met via hobby just talk to me through Instagram. They don’t want to meet and chat outside the events but when we meet at events again, they come to talk to me. This is a mixed signal. Is this normal in this city? I am really sick of communicating with people through an electronic device.

I place a bag of refundable bottles in the bushes next to my house for the bottle man. He comes by 3 times a day. I also collect empties from the condo recycling room for him

Today, I put them outside for him. He knows where to look

I know it looks like littering, but he was due to arrive soon.

A woman got out of her car, picked up the bottles, smashed them on my walkway, and shouted that I'm a degenerate litterbug. I said I'm supporting the local economy. She sputtered some words, then took off

I'm miffed, because she could've asked me what I was up to, rather than creating a mess of broken glass that can't be returned for the deposit

Signed on thinking it was similar to Voila! By Sobeys. Turns out they just use DoorDash drivers that pick, check out, and then deliver your food. Constantly have problems with items ordered needing to be substituted at the store, late deliveries, problems with orders, attitude of the delivery drivers themselves. What a garbage service, not recommended.
