Chainsaw "GO" man is back

In consideration of the feedback I received over the new site skin, I have made some adjustments.

People missed the "GO guy". He'e back and wielding his trusty chainsaw. I have to admit, I missed him as well. He joins my favourite internet meme on the banner.

I've addressed the "slowness" of the site and attributed it to the background image. It's gone and replaced with a grey colour.

A few folks suggested I "pink up" the site to compliment "feet off the seats guy" and I agreed. It looks much better.

Thanks for the input guys!

"Okay, but how do you fix humiliation?" - asks The Toronto Star

The Toronto Star hasn't let up on its pressure on PRESTO. The latest installment in their series of woe shares Gabriela Sierra's dilemma of looking like a thief during fare checks.

Turns out her PRESTO card doesn't respond well to fare inspections.

YOU HAD ONE JOB PRESTO!!!

This just happened... just now, while I am on the bus.

After the Presto woes I've had, I sure hope I'm not expected to shell out $6 to replace it. I don't even know if it will tap off!

What a shitty anniversary gift. Somewhere in the Presto office, someone is screaming, "Yeah! KARMA BABY! YEAH!"

Pretty soon Imma elbow someone in the ribs

I like to sit on the outside seat of quads. I am always mindful that if the window seat beside me is empty, someone will eventually sit there.
I do not like being climbed over and seeing as most folks move as eloquently as elephants, I make the effort to stand up and allow people to sit. What irritates me are people WHO DO NOT WAIT FOR ME TO GET UP.
The hell!
What are you bullrushing the seat for? This morning I was almost knocked over by two women, one who couldn't wait for me to stand up so she could sit and the woman behind her who couldn't wait for me to sit back down so she could continue down the aisle.
That was me who told you both how I felt about your rudeness this morning if by chance you read this site.
If someone is going out of her way to be courteous, your boorish, it's all about me attitude is rude and obnoxious. I meant what I said.
Maybe no one has had the guts before me to tell you both that bulldozing your way through or over people is rude, but I sure do.
Ridiculous.
Put me in a foul mood, too.
