ridiculous
 
Quote:

Canada's post office is threatening to stop mail deliveries to a woman in Ottawa because her doorstep is 10 centimetres too high.
Christine Charbonneau said when she went to check her mail last Friday she found a Canada Post employee measuring her doorstep. He told her it was 30cm high - 10cm more than the maximum limit specified by building regulations.

"I said it was ridiculous to say that the step is too high ... Nobody else has complained," she told the Ottawa Citizen newspaper.
:lol: petty...no idea how this little issue made itself to the news

The Post Office regulators have stepped way out of line, in my opinion.

Its not that he doesnt want to step the extra 10 cm, its that its illegal because its not following the building code.

Its not the post office...its Canada. Theyve got all sorts of bull**** regulations over there. For instance, were I work, we make waffle machines. We recently have gotten all our new machines "Canadian Standards Approved" which involved a whole bunch of pointless stuff to be done to them. I remember awhile back we had some machine going in a back room for weeks, that would just open and close a waffle iron...open...close...open...close. Why? Because apparently waffle machines must be opened and closed an ungodly amount of times before its good enough for Canada.

Well, I like our rules.


I don't want my chips full of oils that can cause anal leakage if you eat enough of them, just to increase shelf life.

I will take random stupid rules I will never encounter, to no anal leakage any day.

If it's anal leakage you want, there are quicker (and more exciting) ways than chips...
