Holy cow! That's some serious time off (though I know you wish it has been under different circumstances.)

Found a good deal on kijiji in Ottawa, had my brother pick it up last Friday, and he shipped it via Canada Post on Saturday.
At the post office, the guy said it should be here Thursday or Friday, Monday at the latest if there's bad weather. But it's now almost Thursday, and the only tracking info available says it was received at the post office last Saturday at 5:33pm.
I'm not panicking yet, because despite what the post office guy said, the canada post site says estimated delivery is next Wednesday. But why would there be no tracking updates? Has it just been sitting in the post office for 3 business days? I'd just like it to at least pop up saying it's en route to Moncton or something so that I know it hasn't been lost.
He got insurance on it, but a working Super Nintendo with 4 games for a good price isn't easily replaceable.
Peter D. said:So the other day my family went to the local Wal-Mart. Since we have a 3-year old and 9-month old, I parked in the spot which says, 'Mom and Tot' (it was -5 out and we had a stroller). Just as my wife and I get out of our car to unload the kids, the lady driving behind us looks over, points to my wife emphatically, and mouths "MOM and tot". Initially I thought she was accusing us of parking in the spot as she didn't see our kids, only to realize that because I was there, we shouldn't have parked in the spot.
Needless to say we were peeved. She parks in the next row over and comes out and looks at us, at which time I ask loudly, "What's the issue." Her response was, "I'm not trying to start anything, but it says 'mom'. That is all." At this point our furor escalates.
As we get into the store, trying to digest the initial shock of it all, we are hanging around the produce section longer than expected. I told my wife I was going to wait for her to ask her what her problem was, only for my wife to say she's not going to come in this way.
Well, low and behold she strolls in with her two sons 5 minutes later. I approach her and ask again what the issue was. Her immediate response was that I was "acting tall" (has nothing to do with the fact she barely clears 5 feet and I am over 6 feet :) and that I was trying to scare her. Anyways, she kept emphasizing that it says 'MOM' and that her husband would never park there if she was with her (good for them). My wife told her it's a courtesy spot with the wording open to interpretation and she's being gender biased. We proceeded to give her more a piece of our mind, even though she tried brushing it off by saying, "It says 'MOM', and I'll leave it at that."
mc said:Driving up Weston Rd from Hwy 7 from work yesterday and the traffic is usually crawling. Though, there is a left lane that acts as middle lane approaching Rutherford. A nut yesterday, bypassed all the traffic by going in the left most lane (its a long lane that eventually people use to turn left into Rutherford) and then making a abrupt turn back into moving traffic right in front of me. A few lights down he is the left lane making a left turn, I slow down and give him a look. The guy almost pulled a gun that's how he his reaction was because I gave him a look. Some people will break all rules, all etiquette and dare you say something!

As I was turning, the guy started honking at me and sped past me yelling and cursing etc. What he didn't notice is that he had drifted into the turn lane, which ends with a raised curb and he proceeded to smash into it, flipping his car on its side.
And that is why my insurance rates are so high.

Wrong, your insurance rates are so high (if you live in Ontario) because of Accident Benefits coverage and all the scamming that goes on in Ontario. Next time you get your renewal in the mail, look how much of your premiums are for AB coverage. I work in Insurance, I was a PD Adjuster (Property Damage) and handled all vehicle accidents/claims. You would throw up in your mouth if you saw what people can and try to get away with. I remember once a man had a claim on his minivan, rear end accident, he got an estimate, the front bumper ONLY needed to be sanded and painted, it had been scratched in the accident, I cashed him out for the repairs, which was about $350.... 6 people in the car were 'Injured', so I had to send the file to our AB department to handle the 'injuries'.... :
This is what you and I pay for, I have a tonne more stories just as bad or worse, I even knew a person who was legitimately rear ended on the 401. He was NOT hurt though, but he pretended to be. Every time he had to go to the doctor or treatment centre for his Accident Benefit claim, he wouldn't shower for a couple/few days, then use a couple canes to get to the appointment and claim STI's injuries (soft tissue injuries that can't be proven), long story short, he sued his own Insurance Co and got a nice $320,000 cheque... Again, we all pay for this as Insurance in Ontario is legislated by the government, FSCO, IBC etc... We need to stop people from taking advantage.
In Quebec none of this happens, if you hurt your hand in the accident, you get 'x' amount, if you lose your hand you get 'x' amount etc... Everything is predefined. Insurance needs fixing in Ontario, but it's not just that simple.

Cool. I didn't know that. But how come my insurance rates vary by postal code? I wasn't paying as much as I am now in Scarborough as when I lived in Bloor West Village?
TML fan said:Ok, so idiot Scarborough drivers who crash their own cars in fits of rage affect my insurance, correct?
