‘Leprechaun’ who denied woman a seat on crowded TTC bus shamed on social media

From the “Don’t be a dick” files… What is the world coming to when a Leprechaun-ish character displays impolite, nay! RUDE behaviour on public transit? His mother must have seen the pictures all over the Internet by now and would be so ashamed. I’m sure she and her mate would have done their best to raise him well. Maybe not. Maybe that’s what it comes down to, that our children need good examples to follow and not just fear of the rod. Good behaviour and character are formed early. With all the crazy sh*t going on in our world, we can still be civilized individuals and groups in showing good manners and respect. Our children are watching and learning. T

Fall Wardrobe Woes

You know how it is.  You sort through boxes of clothing, pulling out the warmer, long-sleeved tops and corduroy pants.

You notice that some have suffered shrinkage after being pushed to one side of the closet or placed in that under-the-bed box. It’s an unexplained phenomenon.

They go to a bag for the local charity delivery.  There!  That feels better.

At least with the cooler temperatures of approaching autumn and (gasp!) winter, those pretty young women with firm, tanned limbs will have to cover up.  Rejoice, middle-aged women.  You regain an advantage by sharing your experience and wisdom in conversations with eligible men.  Although at this stage of life, you still need those sleeveless tops to cope with the occasional hot flash.

The Opinionated Tabby Cat is encouraging me to get some retail therapy.  I shall comply, discount coupons in hand and stored up with the energy required for sweaty changing room disappointments.

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope your wardrobe upgrade quests are successful.

Hotel’s ‘tip-the-housekeeper’ campaign draws ire from a public suffering tipping fatigue

My sisters and I encountered housekeeping tip envelopes when we stayed at Best Western in Quebec City this summer. Although we declined services during our three-day stay, some of us left a little something before checking out. I agree with some comments on this article that if someone is being paid to make sure your room is clean or that your food is served as ordered, intact and on time, why is there an expectation to tip? Tip fatigue indeed!
