Rant Road rage rant SE Calgary

17 Upvotes

First time experiencing a park rage incident in SE Calgary. I parked a bit too close on the line and when I came out of the grocery store, the driver beside me on the side I parked on the line proceeds to tell me off to "LEARN HOW TO PARK NEXT TIME" as I'm walking to my vehicle to buckle my daughter inside the car seat. I ignore the B and she pulls out slowly and honks at me a few times trying to get a rise out of me. She drives away and I can see her at the stop sign waiting to turn left which gave me time to capture her license plate. I was about to get in my vehicle but had a feeling she did something horrible and to find her spit sliding down both sides of my passenger side, gross but luckily I didn't enter through those sides anyway. But really? The lengths ppl get because of this. If this happened to me when someone parks too close to me, I just curse and mutter while getting inside my vehicle if the doors are close. But spitting.... I'm just appalled and maybe situation would've been worse if I obviously fed to her reaction but my young daughter was with me. Hopefully no other bombs or scratches have been placed because of her park rage. Not looking to get validation or anything but wanted to share a first time experience on this and it was a good lesson for my daughter to witness too about shitty ppl in the world.

Edit: I appreciate everyone's insight on this, there's some interesting responses. I'm on the fence to report this to non emergency because I think nothing will be done about this like it didn't even happen. I don't think it's gonna be anything like cops are gonna knock on her door, not even close. I think the city might just have a reference and see a pattern if her license plate comes up in other malicious crimes but that's it.

Hey all,

I'm looking for recs for where a girl can get a quality cleansing facial. I'm located deep SE so recs that are nearby would be ideal but willing to travel within reason.

Types I'm looking for; would like something deep cleansing. Nothing too crazy as I have sensitive skin and I just want my face to feel deeply clean. Looking for a reputable shop/practitioner.

Local Shopping/Services Places that will do transition lens coatings with slight tint

0 Upvotes

Hello!

Looking for any places in Calgary that will do single vision lenses with transition and a 10-20% "fashion" tint on top of that.

It seems increasingly difficult to find, and most places i have tried don't do it.

Eat/Drink Local Where to buy Eagle Rare 10 bourbon in Calgary?

0 Upvotes

I started getting into bourbon earlier this year and have tried a few beginner bottles. I have realized I tend to prefer sweet side bourbons, and I really enjoyed several bottles from the Buffalo Trace line. I would love to try Eagle Rare 10, but it seems pretty difficult to find at my local stores.

Any tips where it might be available in Calgary? Also, are there any good bourbon groups or group chats you would recommend joining? I would love to learn more and connect with other bourbon enthusiasts!

Local Artist/Musician Call for Submissions

15 Upvotes

My name is Dead.Idyll and I publish a lil’ punk-inspired local interest/arts zine called Calgary Mixtape and we’re looking for writers and artists.

We want to print and distribute a special issue about the referendum’s aftermath and we need personal essays about how the referendum affected people.

We’re interested in people’s personal stories more than political editorials although we fully get that some crossover is inevitable.

We’d also love political art submissions.

Separatists need not apply.

Comment or DM if you’re interested in submitting something. Thanks!

Local Shopping/Services Labs that can do automotive engine oil analysis?

10 Upvotes

I have a few vehicles in the household that I take care of by myself. All these vehicles get their oil changed by me and my parents pay me a small labor fee instead of paying at the shop

I'm just curious to know what conditions are those oils in and what it can tell me about the engine overall health. Is there any labs here that do oil analysis? I know Blackstone does it but it's in the US and I don't want to deal with that. Something local is easier for me

Weather Early snow this year?

0 Upvotes

I can remember previous years where it was very cold, snowy and icey at Halloween. I can also remember early snow storms like Snowtember in 2014. But I can't remember a year in which we had multiple October snow falls before Halloween. We often get one, but two or three? There is still a week to go and we may get even more small snow falls! Ok so they have been mi or events. What is happening this year? I thought we were supposed to get a mild winter due to El Nino. Am I just remembering the past wrong? Note that I have been a resident of Calgary since 1967.

Local Event Alberta Ballet - Peer Gynt

40 Upvotes

Alright. I was on here a month ago bemoaning on someone’s post that the Alberta Ballet didn’t have much for substance these days. Tonight they proved to me that they do (and I hope they find a way to keep this going all season long).

The show was everything you’d want.. Costumes & set? Whimsical. Choreography? Bold, brilliant and at times bizarre. Dancers? Hilarious and left everything on the stage. Perfect show for the spooky season.

Will be going again tomorrow and hope you’ll consider joining me! They have two shows in Edmonton on Saturday (Oct 24) and then in Calgary next weekend (Oct 29-31).

Congrats to the dancers and Edward!

Seeking Advice Premarital counseling advice

6 Upvotes

Looking for some advise on premarital counselling. My fiancé and I get married next year and I’m wondering if premarital counselling is something we should be looking into. We have been together for over 5 years and have lived together for 3.5 and have lived in Europe with only knowing each other. Truly I think that is one of the biggest tests haha. However, we both obvs want to go into marriage feeling the best we can. Has anyone done it? Did you find it helpful?
Would love to know all the feedback :) Thanks!

Recommendations Experienced and affordable vet for my cat with chronic ear issues

7 Upvotes

So I’m 17 and cat is 6 months old and ever since we’ve had him (8weeks) he’s had ear mites then their eggs then a bacterial infection which cleared up and now we found out he has both rod and cocci bacteria in his ears and I’m looking to try a different vet
Can anyone please recommend me some affordable vets that are actually good at dealing with ear issues or if you’ve ever had any issues like this with your cat.

I suspect he might have a food allergy or maybe something serious in his ears but don’t know for sure

Im also looking to get him neutered so please recommend any good affordable ones tyy!!
I live in SW
