Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

Every time I see this ad I think, So, you couldn't be bothered to talk to your Irish neighbour until you found out you had Irish ancestors? Are we to believe that that discovery made you a less shallow and unfriendly dink? His neighbour should tell him to go fuck himself if that's the standard required for being friendly.

Doing my weekly shopping i saw a guy with a jacket with the following patches on it:

Insane Clown Possy
Aerosmith
Godsmack
Metallica
Dave Mathews Band

And a few I didn't recognize or remember.

And you thought, What the hell, Flex? Don't you recognize me?

Except I've met Flex before.

Flex did you develop any kind of cult like following during your Mayoral tenure? Are we going to start seeing "Feel the Flex" merch soon?

Hopefully #metoo will nip that in the bud.

My attorneys have advised me against discussing that hashtag in publicly accessible spaces, so I can't really comment.

Maybe maple syrup makes humans into assholes.

I think the weather certainly plays a role.

So, in the winter, I ride my bike on a trainer in the basement. The trainer's tension is supplied by a rubber belt and in the last couple weeks, it's started to stretch and tear. Gotta replace the belt, but there's no place in town that carries the brand, which comes out of Japan. I go to Amazon and order a replacement from the manufacturer, but it's seemingly being shipped to Pluto first before coming to North America, so I do some more hunting and find a closer and quicker but more expensive option, which I also order. Go to cancel that first Amazon order. Click the links, fill out the form, and wait for the cancellation confirmation. However, over the past several days I have been back-and-forthing with a representative of the bike company in Japan who keeps insisting that I have to click the proper cancel link on Amazon, that it can't be done the way I did it, which is, in essence, just a message asking to cancel. But he/she won't point me to the link—it's quite clear, this person tells me. Finally this morning I took screen shots of all the steps I took on Amazon to cancel the order and sent it to them, emphasizing again that there is no magic cancellation link. Maybe it's just a language barrier issue, but it feels like I'm being trolled because this is how I've cancelled orders from Amazon merchants in the past. I have a feeling I'm just going to end up eating this one.

#WhitePeopleProblems

It was my understanding that the problems of white people are always addressed promptly. Hence, my frustration. The system is broken, people!

You should move to America. They say it's great again.

You can take up the issue with Amazon can't you? Don't let them have your money.
