The cherry on top was being awakened pre dawn by someone running very loud industrial equipment in the alley directly behind our house. I called the cops immediately. It stopped after fifteen minutes or so. Who does that?

The first morning in months where I could’ve slept in.

Did the cops arrive, and if so, what did they say? I can't imagine calling the cops on someone operating equipment.

Wow

I dunno, I told them I didn’t need them to come to my place at all.

You’re underestimating how loud this was, essentially twenty or so feet from our bedroom. It was 6:30am, town ordinance is no construction or heavy machinery noise til 9am on weekends.

I guess I get it. Where I live, there's roosters, lawnmowers and roofers at the crack of dawn, so when I hear you saying running equipment, my mind goes to working a job.

happy Canada day..going to a friends house for a big bbq of wings, sausage and a giant tomahawk ribeye..hang around the pool with some drinks and watch soccer later...also take some gummies...

Sugar free gummies, I hope

sugar free gummies and sugar free iced tea..lots of THC though

Happened to sit next to a table of teenage boys at the pool the other night. It might have been the dumbest conversation I've ever heard. There were no less than 126 "bro"s muttered.

Bro, what's your beef tho?

Just a bunch of teen bros talking about their shoe collections, edibles, and parlays.

It’s not just the boys. The girls use it constantly, too.

No cap? Hope you stood on business

lmao

We all had similar conversations when we were teens. Just sub dude for bro.

Nothing wrong with edibles. I do agree that gambling and collecting shoes is lame tho. Sorry, LV.

While Pittsburgh isn't as wild as say London, NYC or LA I am thankful my interactions with weird/strange people on public transportation have been very small in number

yesterday there were two. it annoys me to no end people that smoke on the platforms even though there are no smoking signs everywhere. well the first guy comes walking towards the train, cig lit and puffing away and his arms were each carrying bags. just as the door closed he stuck his foot in to stop it. in that brief second i analyzed that he indeed was going to get on the train smoking a cigarette and not giving a Eff about anyone and also we made eye contact though very brief. I lunged at the door when he pulled his foot back but thankfully the train started moving.

as we are moving i know see a lady pacing back and forth the two trains (it was a four car train, with each 2 sections connected to each other) and ranting about something. I only have two stops until the end of the line and at the first stop she is still pacing and mumbling but gets off. as the train doors close she tried to get back on the train.

people...i tell ya

The lady sounds like wife material. Go to her.
