Well as I sit here in the middle of China Town in downtown Toronto I came to realize I cant stand it here. Besides having to drive in circles out of your way to actually get to the place you have to get to. Why that is? Well you see someone came up with the brilliant idea of having only thru traffic at certain hours...meaning no left or right turns at certain times of the day. Not a swift move it gets us country folk all confused,stressed and pissed off!
Ok my second pet peeve is wtf is with parking? I do see why everyone rides bikes. It costs your a fortune to park anywhere...that is if you can actually find a lot that your truck will fit into. Lets just say I parked in some pretty cramped spots these last few days. Not a place for a candidate for Canada's worst driver. There would for sure be sparks and paint missing off of cars lol.
The parking garage at TGH was full it would only spit ticket out to enter after someone had left. So I wait, I get in the only thing is they didn't account for the three handicap spots. They were empty so of course the computer would say "yes" there is spots available. Well after driving around in circles for 10 mins and no one leaving I left. Had to park three blocks away...which again I had to squeeze into a spot..maybe they figure everyone just drives minis and smart cars?
So my tests today weren't that bad simple just lots of waiting..that's my pet peeve lol. I have a couple more people to see tomorrow morning then I am gonna get the hell outta dodge and get back north. Where there is less traffic,less people and smells a hell of alot better!
See you all my country people tomorrow night! You city people can keep your stinky,no parking cement everywhere city!
Im outta here!
Hehe, your first line reminded me of a line from one of my favorite songs at the moment
ReplyDeleteI sit here broke down

If you're at all into bluegrass I'd advise checking it out - Wrong Side of the Country
That being said, I always find I enjoy the city more on foot than I do when I have to navigate by car. I enjoy all the galleries and stores and stuff you don't really get to see up here.. but yeah.. driving.. fugeddaboutit.
That's why I commute from up in Barrie into Toronto on the bus... Hell no to driving in that, especially on week days. Glad you survived your time down in TO.
ReplyDeleteI never understand how my Dad can drive his pickup in the city... I stick with my Yaris lol. Glad you are done the hard part! Now you just have to wait. Oh maybe you should get a disabled pass for your truck so you can get those closer spaces (handy if you end up on the list)... I think with that you can get free street parking too?
ReplyDeletedefinetly you need a disabled parking pass if you have to park that far away! gah! that is nuts.
ReplyDeleteglad your done all your testing now!
