The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

And then the "Yellow Vest" movement joined.

Their main concern tends to be that gas should be cheaper, ...
People are weirdly obsessed with gas prices. At the Petrocan yesterday gas was 153.9 while across the street it was 159.9. The lineups for the Petrocan extended into both cross streets while the other station had empty bays.
All for a $0.06 savings that on 100L would amount to $6. Yeah I'm going to wait half an hour for that, lol.
I've never understand lining up for gas to acheive the minimal savings garnered.
Some people don't seem to understand the value of time.
Sitting in a line up burning gas to save 6 cents on gas and then claiming to have no time to work out or take the kids to the park to kick a ball around.
Goes to the entire rush to buy something because it’s on sale. People think it’s a good deal because the advertisement is telling them it is. They don’t realize that a month before the 25% off blowout the regular sticker price increased by 15%…..
I remember back in the day, we took a road trip to Seattle, and didn't know that the gas stations were closed on Sundays during the 'fuel crisis' of '79. Thankfully, someone told us we could get some gas where the taxis filled up and we got back across the border.
Lots of kids drinking wine and hard liquor instead!
