I had an interesting phone call today

Me:hello
Dude: hi this is *name I didn't catch* who am I speaking to?
Me: my name is Alex
Dude: okay I think I know who you are.
Me:You dont sound familiar, I think you misdialed.
Dude: I think I do have the right number. Where's *female name I didn't catch*?
Me: I have no idea who you are talking about. You dialed the wrong number.
Dude: I think you do know who I'm talking about.
Me: I still have no idea who you are talking about. This is my personal cellphone number I think you missdialed.
Dude: If you have no idea who I'm talking about then how the fuck is your number in her phone?
Me: *starts laughing*
Dude: oh yeah go ahead laugh it up
Me *click*

Dude hasn't called back. Have no idea who he thinks I'm sleeping with.

Sorta reminds me of a misdial I received a couple weeks ago where this lady just INSISTED I had called her recently. When I told her I hadn't, she continued probing me suspiciously (I can't begin to imagine why). Eventually I acquiesced and said I must have accidentally dialed her number at some point, a story which she accepted. Of course, I hadn't even picked up my phone all day so that obviously didn't happen.

I'm sure this has been asked before but why does Toronto only have a few subway lines for a city of its size and magnitude?

Stopped investing in it for a few decades due to various factors. I think at first it was because the city was resting on its laurels then because either negligent or actively hostile parties were elected to senior levels of government. Canada is the only country which doesn't have a dedicated fund for municipal infrastructure from the federal government so cities are always dependent on goodwill of the larger levels of government to get the funding needed to build this really really expensive stuff.

That happens to me at work all the time. Occasionally while making outbound calls I'll miss dial and notice shortly after entering the last number and I'll hand up after one ring or less. A percentage of the people I accidentally dialed always end up phoning back "WHO CALLED ME AT THIS NUMBER AND WHY?"

Made a rare trip to Vaughan so I tried Burger's Priest for the first time. Hype was warranted.

You need to make reservations in advance with a credit card and you can get dinged for no-showing. It's 80 dollars for 18 pieces plus dessert.

I don't understand why people would do that. I just figure if it's important the person will leave a message.

There's a guy in the grocery store playing the harmonica while he shops. It's one of the stranger things I've seen.

I said stranger, not strangest.

I once saw a lady knitting while driving.

 

[Fuzzy]

I was once in the passenger seat of a moving van and could've sworn the guy in the car next to us was masturbating while driving. I didn't take a closer look to make sure though.

I'm sure this has been asked before but why does Toronto only have a few subway lines for a city of its size and magnitude?

Because of feet dragging. And continous dragging. And no one really sticking around to investing.

+ $5 food

- $5 food wasn't great or filling
- music is so goddamned loud
- food took an hour for our table of 5

Conclusion: go for drinks and treat the food as snacks and not as full meals.

This.

As long as transit planning, which is a long-term task, is tied to campaign platforms, you're gonna have the reset button hit each time there's a change of office in City Hall or Queen's Park.

Barque smokehouse tonight, I'll let y'all know if it's awesome

 

[Magnus]

Guys, I'm hitting 3-0 in a month. I need to make it a memorable, awesome night with a ton of friends.

I'm lost on Venue, though. Where can I take like 30-40 people for an awesome time, and how much notice do I need to give? Needn't be dinner. Just drinks. But I'm jonesing for doing something more memorable - aka, some sort of activity.

Please don't say the Ballroom.

I'm toying with the idea of going back to BATL for axe-throwing, but it's a $40 price tag upfront and it's a bit of a hike; many would bow out of such an occasion.

 

[krae_man]

I went to Wrestlemania 28 for my big 3-0 and it was an amazing time. If you don't have access to a time machine, have you thought about booking one of those escape room thingies?

 

[Sousanator]

The escape rooms look fun, but they're usually max 4 people. Unless you do some sort of tournament with groups of teams.
