In my city and most of my province we dont get the priveledge of using the locking mecanism. For some reason we are forced to hold the lever manually, i dont really know why.

Edit-
Speaking of lolEuros, should it piss me off that most non-Euro foreigners, and many Euros, seem to have no concept of personal space whatsoever?

Example: paying for your stuff at the store and the next person in line stands close enough to you that hes bumping your elbows.

Example 2: take my kid to free swim after his swim lesson and sit down at a small table along the side of the pool. Put my kids stuff under his seat and hang his towel off the back, with my coffee on the table. Nobody else at all sitting on that entire side of the building. There are probably 8-10 chairs, 4 lounge recliners, 2 large tables, and a couple small tables.
As soon as he gets in the pool a group of 4 euro women with their kids walks in... and one of them immediately sits in the chair that has all my kid's stuff on it. These chairs dont have armrests, so shes basically on my lap. They then put their crap on the tiny table that has my coffee on it the other 3 pull some chairs over, just completely oblivious.
Meanwhile the big table that has 5 chairs around it, and the entire rest of the row of seats remains empty.

I guess the real question is, should it piss me any less than if someone born and raised in USA#1 did the same thing?
In America when a strange woman sits in your lap you buy her a drink you freak.

I have no idea what the point of the not-a-cul-de-sac is. Called City to ask them to put a 'stay left' sign at the base of the island of grass and they alerted me that the road is meant to have traffic going both left and right through the 'not-a-cul-de-sac' area.

Q: Why is more road needed for southwest bound traffic at this spot? Why not just make both #28 & #29 with bigger yards and forget the nonsense with the not-a-cul-de-sac?

A: <silence>

Given this is a community that prides itself on red tape and not letting things happen w/o 300 permits, meetings, approvals, etc..., I'm disappointed that the transportation/road division can't tell me what the point of the not-a-cul-de-sac is.

Poll: City said they'd put a sign with downward arrows pointing SW & SE (or 7 o'clock & 5 o'clock for the directionally challenged) to alert people that they can go both left and right through the not-a-cul-de-sac. Is this better for minimizing traffic through the not-a-cul-de-sac than no sign at all? I say yes (as the only people who are going right might realize they can go left too; whereas the peopel already going left aren't going to want to go right all of the sudden [b/c why would you?]), wife says no. What say you, oot?

I say epoxy down a few of those rubber speed bumps in the not de sac in the dark of a moonless night. By the time they send someone out to remove them the behavior of buzzing your front yard will be un-engrained from the knuckle draggers in your neighborhood.

Your wife's right. The additional signage is just going to confuse people into thinking they need to use the cul-de-tack.

What's a "free swim?"
Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do. Quote

Free swim, open swim, etc.
On certain days after swim lessons are finished they open the pools and turn on the fountains and water slides, and the kids are free to play and swim.
Ironically, admission is not actually free.

These lifehacks are supposed to be tricks or shortcuts to make things easier or better with little hassle.

Finding a cantaloupe, cutting it in half, filling one half with yogurt (wtf do I do with the other half? It'll go bad fast) and berries and granola increase the time, complexity, and mess of your "snack" by a factor of about 1000.

Once they put in the sign for you just paint over the arrow pointing into the notaculdesac.

We know.

Stop being an Old-Man-Shouting-at-Clouds.
As I stated in an earlier post, the road is most likely there to provide access to the two pie-shaped sites. There were most likely minimum front yard dimensions required for the subdvision of the land. What you see now is the solution that was agreed upon by City Engineering and the developer to satisfy that and a whole host of other technical requirements that you can't even begin to fathom.

It's a done deal, so deal with it.

So go ahead and relax and enjoy a cool and refreshing snack of a half-cantaloup with some berries, yogurt, and All-Bran Cranberry Almond Granola. That'll take your mind off it.
