Assemby furniture used as form of exercise

After realizing that she wasn't going to make it to her exercise class in the morning, local woman does some deep breathing exercises before heading out to a store to purchase a piece of furniture that will involve assembly. Many exercises were involved in the purchase and assembly of small bookshelf unit, involving - taking stairs,
- walking around two levels of the store,
- lifting item onto buggy
- pushing buggy once picking up parcel from aisle and bin number,
- overheating in line,
and then experiencing different exercises once putting the furniture together, such as:
- laying out parts
- picking up the Allen key every bloody time it dropped from hands (a lot)
- screwing and unscrewing bolts when the last two holes refused to line up despite everything else looking straight
- exercising mouth muscles as profanity flew freely,
and finally putting finished piece of furniture in it's place.
Any potential guilt woman initially felt for missing exercise class was quickly wiped clear by furniture assembly, and if anything, probably burned more calories in doing so.

Road ragers end up at police station to explain themselves

A local man experienced a unique road rage incident when he got flipped off by a woman in traffic. Apparently woman who flipped off man felt entitled to flip people off. After local man flipped woman back off, woman called the police on him and both of them ended up having to spend an afternoon in the police station explaining themselves. Entitled woman obviously didn't know the rules of to flip off and getting flipped off.

In related news, incident of entitled woman reminds a friend of local man about when another woman felt that she didn't have to line up to get petrol. Apparently, entitled woman's thinking involved that she could park off to the side and tell anyone she pleased that they need to let her get gas. Local man's friend explained to confused entitled woman that's not how it worked and provided woman with option of standing to watch the local man's friend get gas or watch from the car. Entitled hysterical woman had a tantrum before taking option two -- watching local man's friend fill up with gas from with her cross-over vehicle. And everyone had a happy holiday.

Transit company missing "something" about subway experience in retro posters

Transit company for cosmopolitan area introduces retro posters that customers could purchase. One poster in particular seemed to be missing a few things. For one, the woman looked way too comfortable, had nobody crowding a seat beside her for when you do happen to get a seat. The poster also seemed to be lacking the persons who would have been standing -- slightly pushed up against her -- with their crotch or bottom in her face; tough decision on what angle to stand in that predicament, and then there was the matter of no spilled beverage stain on the ground. It just doesn't match up to the same experience. Transit company might need to work on recapturing the essence of riding the red rocket.
