Something I’ve noticed, in my limited time here, is that lots of things in Canada don’t make sense. Why are the outlets upside down? And why are they so high up on the wall?? Too bad I don’t know any electrical engineers.
Why does it say the seven rules to live by but only have five rules? Begs the question, is the poster trying to frustrate the reader, leaving them hanging for more motivational words of wisdom? Or maybe it’s just the touch of a shitty printer. Either way, good thing this in another dorm because I would not have stood for being subjected to this misrepresentation of facts every time I left my room.
Next on the list, the crosswalks say zero seconds on them the entire time the light is red, which makes you think that it just turned when really it could change back to green at any second.
More crosswalk drama: No one here crosses the street on a red light.
The date is DD/MM/YYYY, which theoretically makes sense, sure, but as an American, I’m fucked.
CANADA, I GUESS
Since I’m gonna be living here for a while, I thought I should off-shoot this with all the things Canada does right.
First off, on this cookie box we got, they suggested making s’mores. You know, in all my years, I’d never thought about making s’mores with the cookies that came with the chocolate combined. It really makes you think. Because, this way, the chocolate is consistently even, not going to fall out, and covers the entire s’more. Very well thought out, and this is coming from a “Titan of Tech”
Parc du Mont Royal is basically prospect park if it didn’t suck.
There’s an elevator in my building.
On top of the elevator, there are motivational posters every which way. Primely located, I can be reminded of these wise words on the daily.
Last but not least, theres bees everywhere. Not sure if this is scientifically correct, but it makes me think that they’re doing at least something right. Plus, it increases the number of times I can LOL about people being complete bitches about bees.
This is an unfinished list, don’t worry.
