You know you're in Vancouver if...

33. You can go into any parkade downtown and find most car windows rolled down and doors unlocked.

34. A peddler will actually ask you for spare change before you even go into the store.

35. And again after you leave.

36. And a few blocks away where he met his dealer.

gotta disagree with this one, unless you're trying to collect ICBC

no left hand turn lanes

Why would you give a rat's ass about that?
You've never turned left in your life even once.
Your habit is to make 7 or 11 right turns instead.

37. You can't find a legal parking space.

Whose trying to collect icbc pal? This would likely prevent me from having to do so wouldn't you say?? Thieves break car windows every day and night just to steal change and shit from the inside of cars and a lot of people are just leaving them rolled down for the purpose of not having to replace them for a measley ashtray full of toonies. hello!!!

 

[mikes]

er,

I was just kidding...

besides, are you serious when you say you leave your window open so whomever can take what they please without getting your windows broken?

It is left open so people don't break the glass breaking in,
but there's no reason to leave trays of loonies in sight
or other valuables in the car.

 

[mikes]

ok fair enough.
I'll buck the trend and just go on closing my window and leaving nothing in sight....

I don't know how much of a trend it is, but i'm sure some people purposely
leave their car so that thieves can easily get in, either by rolling down a
window or two, or by leaving the doors unlocked. One night near my place
I saw a car window smashed in.

38. You are on a first name basis with simon,pinky, lily,etc

39. You have the micro numbers on speed dial.

40. You know the universal Vancity welcome: Can you spare some change?

41. Walking down Granville street you have heard every f*cking reason,sob story to ask for some spare change.

42. Walking down Robson street you see some young caucasian teens dressing up and acting like black guys. ( I'm not being racist but when you've got guys wearing their pants down to their knees, giving you an attitude with the " yo, yo what's up?", and really trying to act like some favorite rap star they've seen on yo mtv raps, we've got a problem.)

So by the sounds of things you are being racist. If people expressing them selves and paying hommage to the Hip hop community are a problem. Would it be OK if they were black?

43. You can get free condoms, lube, rigs, sterilized h20, and other parafanelia from a van that drives around Vancouver. Actually if you call him he will go wherever you are.

What are rigs, and what's the number to call?

 

[lenny]

Rigs = needles

This stuff is for low track users, maybe other areas too.
