Late summer also seems to be dirty old man season

While at a birthday party for father, one of parent's long time friends tries to backpedal from back handed complement to straight out awkward and inappropriate comment about how his daughter looks really good in all the right places. After feeling like needing to be scrubbed down in a radiation booth, woman turns on heels, makes face like she might be sick, and walks away. In other inappropriate old man news, woman has to tell old man in a line up that he's gotten close enough as he kept encroaching on her space despite line not moving. Old dude, you're not getting any further in any shape or form. Old man gave woman some ignorant line about lining up at Canada's Wonderland. Old dude, you were not at Canada's Wonderland, you were not getting any further, and that was not a line to get on a ride.

Friends survive eating at a dodgy fast food hamburger place known for something else

As part of a gala evening, two friends decide to be adventurous by eating at a dodgy hamburger joint. Next day one friend realizes that the name suggested wasn't just made up on the spot, but actually known as Hooker Harvey's. As there didn't seem to be any hookers there that night, it was more like Hangover Harvey's. Either way, the sandwiches they ate were actually pretty good and they didn't get sick. That might explain the somewhat confused look on the employee's faces when the friends actually ordered food; actual legitimate customers. It would be interesting if that location had shirts that read "We actually ate at Hooker Harvey's ... and didn't get sick".

Neighbour of annoyingly noisy, smelly couple decides to take to rubber walls

In an effort to maintain some serenity, neighbour of annoying loud, smelly couple decides to try putting up rubber on her shared wall in an attempt to buffer noise pollution coming into her apartment because she would prefer to hear her own TV over the neighbour's mega TV sound system. It's pretty distracting while watching something like So You Think You Can Dance to have it interrupted by explosions and gun fire. You know it's just not in the show. While it buffered somewhat, not all of the wall was covered in rubber. However it seems, the more rubber on the wall, the more serenity.

Dog shows higher intelligence than owner

In other news, dog shows more intelligence than owner as they were crossing busy street. The dog was trying to hustle it up as lazy owner dragged his butt across the rest of the street, making drivers slow down as he continued dragging feet to the other side. Pretty sure dog shook his head in shame.

Scooter rider suspected of gas leak at intersection

Person on motor scooter at intersection suspected of letting go gas – not automotive gas – while waiting for light to change. Witness suspects that due to certain odd movements, person on scooter let a couple rip at least twice before the light changed. Perhaps gassy scooter rider needed to clear off before potentially scaring colleagues.

Stand off at intersection potentially turns into awkward subway ride

After one car drove out from side street in front of another car -- cutting them off --, the driver of the car that got cut off decided to cut off the driver of initial car that pulled out in front at intersection as light changed to red. Drivers stared each other down at the intersection for a while until light changed to green. Car that got even pulled off and instigated stare down tore down street, polluting it with black smoke, because as we all know, the best way to get back from a stare down post cut-off is poisoning everyone else around them. As "polluting getting even car" turned off into side street where subway station is, the initial cut off-driver also turned down the same street. Onlooker suspects that there was either a stand off at subway station or a very long and awkward subway ride to follow.

Smelly creepy guy adds new level of creepiness; woman considers buying mountain climbing equipment

After months of avoiding creepy guy who stinks of yesterday, cigarettes and a variety of stale booze, woman had to share elevator with him. While standing in the hallway before getting into the already small (getting much smaller) elevator, woman noticed something more odd and creepier about smelly creepy guy than from previous run-ins. Accompanying the usual funk wafting off creepy guy, he was sporting a wig that had similar hair characteristics as woman who tried to avoid him – thick dark, long, and curly -- as compared to his usual thin, dry, and scraggy hair. Woman mouthed out “oh crap” and shot her focus to the floor as he got on the elevator. The woman was relieved that a non-creepy person was in the elevator. Woman left building considering the prospect of buying mountain equipment to possibly start repelling down side of building, and maybe get over fear of heights.
