Best way to sell a used car in Ottawa? by nature_nerdin ottawa

[–]Cogeno 0 points1 point ago

Actually, I think it was Top Gear that ran one into a wall at like 130kph. I believe the problem was that it's not the car that's going to kill you, but simply that your organs can't handle the force that comes with going from 130kph to 0 in a split-second.

What bottles/cans are refundable? by Porcchopin Gatineau

[–]Cogeno 0 points1 point ago

Also, technically, only the gold-topped cans are supposed to be taken back, but in my experience, the machines usually take the silver-topped out-of-province cans anyway (Same bar code, so...)

What bottles/cans are refundable? by Porcchopin Gatineau

[–]Cogeno 1 point2 points ago

Energy drink cans are refundable. Bottled water isn't.

Usually, as long as it's stated somewhere that it's refundable (like the top of cans, or somewhere above the label on pop bottles), you shouldn't have a problem. I just dump it in the machine and see if it takes it. If it spits it back at me, oh well.

Are there any architecturally interesting / curiously designed homes in the region of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada? (x-posted in /r/Architecture) by Snackchezin ottawa

[–]Cogeno 0 points1 point ago

Masson-Angers, so perhaps a bit outside of what would be considered Ottawa-area, but this one has always caught my eye in a "WTF were they on?" sort of way

Might be about to get fucked by current roommate (and not in the good way). In case shit goes down, is there any sort of action I can take to protect myself? by Cogenoin Quebec

[–]Cogeno[S] 0 points1 point ago

Alright. I'll look at paying them a visit on Monday.

Not so sure about your comment regarding the Regie. I had another stupid roommate who decided to withhold the rent cheques (I had a money order) she said she was going to put in the mail for bullshit reasons (basically, information she could've Googled) and I found out by a letter from them saying we had a court date, which basically consisted of sitting in the waiting room for an hour to basically be told "You have such and such time to make sure this is taken care of."

Thanks, though.

He is not on the lease, so I'm assuming if it comes to tthat, I'd have to go to small-claims?

I'm hoping it's an honest mistake, but as someone who makes damn sure that any cheque I send out clears, I don't see how you don't notice it.

Anyone know what happened at the CEGEP at Sacré-Coeur and Maisonneuve? by gingerjoycein ottawa

[–]Cogeno 0 points1 point ago

Yep, I arrived at home on the bus (which, at this point, was full of CEGEP students), and once we were in view of the Gabby campus, all you could hear were groans and French cursing.

I feel sorry for the people that actually want to attend their classes...

Anyone looking for a roommate (Tips for moving out accepted too)? by Blind_Assassinin ottawa

[–]Cogeno 0 points1 point ago

If you need a truck (anything bigger than a cargo van), assuming you're too young to rent from places like Budget or Avis, and you're doing a lot of mileage (like over 50km round-trip), I would recommend Ryder. You can get a bigger truck for a much cheaper price.

The initial cost is higher, but the mileage is a fraction of what you would pay at U-Haul. If you end up going with U-Haul, I would avoid the Coventry road location unless you like standing in a line that goes all the way to the door and they only have two people working the counter.

If it were January, I would be looking for a place, but I'm sticking out the remainder of my lease where I am.

I was eating a hash brown from McDonald's on the way home when I felt something on the bottom... by LinkBoyJTin WTF

[–]Cogeno 1 point2 points ago

I was doing maintenance at my store once. We have two sets of vats that we use for chicken, but usually only use one unless it something like Canada day, so we alternate them. Took the covers off the ones that were currently off and there was a dead moth floating at the top. No idea how the hell he got in there...

You would think someone would have noticed something like that somewhere between the fryer and your tray, though...

DAE have the extreme urge to pee as soon as you arrive home? by pee-o-maticin DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Cogeno 0 points1 point ago

The worst is when you barely have to go as you're on your way home, but the closer you get, the worse you have to go. By the time you make it to the bathroom, it's a fucking photo-finish.

Parents of Reddit with a homosexual child/children, what was your initial reaction upon their coming out? by mediaG33Kin AskReddit

[–]Cogeno 1 point2 points ago

I never really came out as such. Just introduced them to my boyfriend at the time. My dad said something along the lines of 'We were wondering when you were going to say something.'

Isn't her brother the one that's saying that this guy is basically a model citizen despite some issues with the cops in the past blah blah blah?

Multiple Ambulances by EidoIonin ottawa

[–]Cogeno 0 points1 point ago

I can't help but think they sometimes get bored. One time on Cooper street, someone called in a domestic dispute. There was at least 10 Ottawa cop cars (most of which were parked the wrong way), and a few black unmarked cars, as well as a few ambulances.

With that said, as far as ambulances go, it probably never hurts to have as many hands as you can if you have someone that's seriously ill. I'm no medical expert, but...

Removed my pillow from its case in my sleep last night, what strange things have you done in your sleep? by muscleCarrin AskReddit

[–]Cogeno 0 points1 point ago

Sleeping at my friends place on his piece of shit of a couch. Woke up in the middle of the night feeling sore, and most of the cushions were thrown across the room.

I want to become a moderator at r/ottawasenators! by illdeliveriesin OttawaSenators

[–]Cogeno 0 points1 point ago

To be fair, there really hasn't been anything much new to talk about. I think the most recent thing would be the Sens players on Sweden all racking up points, and then the pane of glass Regin signing a one-year contract.

DAE hate seeing people write emoticons or say texting acronyms (lol, omg, wtf) in real life? by 97bluelightsin DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Cogeno 1 point2 points ago

I've only met one person who did this: My first ex.

It was one of the fuckton of reasons why he's now my ex.

I once gave my mom a cd, and she told me all the songs sounded the same. I then found that her cd player was on track repeat. What are your parents' technology fails? by pseudosarain AskReddit

[–]Cogeno 62 points63 points ago

My parents are usually good with technology. For some reason, I was using my mom's computer. I'd turned the monitor off before I left as opposed to letting it go to sleep for some reason or another.

Anyway, came back home, and my parents had the whole thing ripped apart. They didn't think to try the power button on the monitor.

Of course, I tend to be the same way. Computer not starting up? First thought is the power supply is dead, instead of checking the power cord.

So I had lunch with my boyfriend's parents today and his dad paid for everyone, except me. Any charming stories from your SO's familiy, reddit? by chipkoekjesin AskReddit

We lived in the Ottawa-Gatineau region (Ontario/Quebec, Canada), they lived in Hong Kong. Crisis averted.

IAE in their early twenties, but feel like they're in their late thirties? by AlexanderSalamanderin DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Cogeno 0 points1 point ago

21 here. Would rather work 11PM-7AM (which seems to be my main social activity these days), sleep, then have my evenings to do what I want. Gets in the way when I have shit to do, such as the rare time I have to see a human being at my bank, which is only open Monday-Friday 9:30-4 or some stupid shit). I also only have the one real close friend that I see maybe once a week.

Besides, it adds an extra $100 to my pay at the end of the month, which is nice when you're trying to put money away for school.
