I was standing outside the bar having a cigarette and drinking a Coke (I never,......

EvilGentleman: 34 - Neither pedestrians nor drivers have a clue what a crosswalk is

36 - People prefer to shove shopping carts into snowbanks rather than bring them...... sam: i agree with the whole designated parking or parking 150 and 50cc's on the wide sidewalks where there are bike lock up posts; since they only weigh 200 to 250lbs. they are fairly light which...... MrDude: Does anyone is actually able to FULLY understand the parking signs in Montreal..But I mean..REALLY...like when you have 5 signs in the same spot..and you just wanna make a 15 min stop.... Cosmo: EG, I just realized one possible motivation for the signs on the wall: perhaps the drug store has had trouble with kids parking their bikes on the sidewalk, blocking the way for the disabled...... EvilGentleman: Hmmmm... Maybe the blind need help to operate the screen, except for the PIN, which should always remain confidential. They could still operate the ATM from the rear driver's side window. What worries me is...... Susannah: I'm not even getting into the fact that all of the options/responses are touch screen - no braille there,if you can't see you can enter your pin and hit enter, but not much else. Kind...... EvilGentleman: Parking is the same in both English and French, so far as I know, but in French, as you probably already know, they pronounce it "parrrr-king". Oh wait, I think the other word is "stationnement"....... Chris Erb: One thing I don't understand is why parking lots in Quebec are always signified by a large "P".

Mat-E: I think this question touches on a fundamental human reality; you can never create a policy which will satisfy a largely civil, responsible majority and at the same time satisfy a minority of...... EvilGentleman: Hmmm, chiamatt's question brings up some valid points. My instinctive response would be to say that providing parking at establishments that serve alcohol is inviting people to drink and drive, and therefore should not be...... EvilGentleman: To my way of thinking, graffiti should be both encouraged and it's location controlled within reason, with penalties for those who put graffiti in places where it has no business being. Now, before you all...... Peter: the ever changing {no parking} sign:
