No one hit yet but hard on the drivers.
    Along the same vein...Winter roads..the grader comes down the street and I swear they intentionally start off NOT grading a foot from the curbs So with the 1st snowfall street starts off 2 feet narrower and gets narrower and narrower through the winter. Don't get me started on the grader always coming down my side of the street first filling my driveway leaving my neighbour and the driveways across the street with next to no snow in their driveways. Grumble, grumble
    I have to watch for pedestrians that have bad habits in my neck of the woods too on the snowy mornings when they elect to walk on road verses sidewalk . Dark non-reflective clothing staring at smartphone while walking instead of being on the lookout for vehicles that may not see them . Some are walking dog who's 3 feet into the roadway .

    our city put a crosswalk near the hospital but people just cross / jay walk 500 feet further east to a more convenient place (for them) to cross

    I'll revive this with one.

    The Irk: Retailers over pushing Encore on Lotto tickets

    I get that they are suppose (I think) to ask if I want Encore on my purchased tickets, but when I say to give me $10 of LOTTARIO or 49, and they print a ticket for $9 of LOTTARIO/49 and put $1 Encore on it, it pisses me off. I didn't say I wanted any Encore, that's not what I asked for. Multiple places this happens. I now have to make sure to specifically say "and no encore". Yes I could get them to give me new tickets, but I don't want to be the schmuck that cancelled a ticket that wins lol.

    Not sure if anyone else has noticed this.

    This mighta got posted once. (maybe even by me)

    Winter lanes. It’s like people don’t remember how many lanes a road has when the get covered over. Two lanes get reduced to one. Drives me nuts. You know there’s two lanes here, maintain them. All of the sudden we need 20feet between opposising lane’s squeezing out the curb lanes in each direction. I get this really only works when the city clears the snow from the roads (piles of graded of snow). But man this drive me nuts.
