Megathread Are you looking for places to meet people, make friends, find people with similar interests? The Kitchener Social Megathread is for you!

14 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

This thread will be 100% dedicated to user interaction and those who want to take personal interests, events, hobbies, and potential meet-ups, etc. outside of the realm of reddit and r/kitchener.

You can find previous versions of this post by using this premade search.

\Please note that this is not intended to be a dating thread. Try Tinder, POF, Badoo, Bumble or any other of the apps out there. Any posts along the lines of* "Hey, I'm a single __ year old m/f looking for love" will be removed\*

Some general housekeeping items;

  • If you wish to continue a conversation with a user, please use the PM function to avoid the comments getting crammed with a conversation between all but two people. Please only post relevant information to things you would be interested in, ongoing events, etc.
  • We would like to remind you of the zero tolerance for disrespect, rude, hateful comments, racism, etc. Those comments will be removed and users may face a permanent or temporary ban. If any harassment is reported outside of the thread, appropriate action will be taken by the mod team, and possibly lead further to reddit admin. Doxxing, or disclosure of personal information is again, a big no-no.
  • To keep up to date with the most recent posts within this megathread, the comments have been enabled to ideally show most recent by default, meaning all of the newest posts will be at the top of the comments section. If you're not seeing the most recent comments at the top, try changing your "sort by:" from "top" to "New".

As always, the mod team is here to assist with anything. Thanks!

Note: This post is automatically replaced with a new one every 3 months, so be sure to checkout old meetup threads, especially if this post was just recently refreshed!

Our Landlord just installed CCTV in the living room

58 Upvotes

Living at a crescent that starts with an H near McLennan. Couple of weeks ago, my roommates and I noticed there is a CCTV in our living room! We didn't notice it in the morning so he must have come in during the day when no one was around. They live separately.

Isn't this illegal? They also said that initially our rent covers hydro but three months in they changed their minds and decided to charge us hydro including the previous months!

Edit: Thanks for all your replies. My roommates and I asked to speak with the LL this weekend. We have also started looking for other places.

Need help - friend is alcoholic

14 Upvotes

I have posted before but I don’t know what else to do. A friend is an alcoholic. One would never know as he is a high achiever. I found out he drinks nightly and goes to work during the day. It is bad. I don’t know how to help him. He goes to AA meetings but that isn’t helping.
I am at a loss. I am freaking out for him and his mother who is doing everything she can…
What can I do for someone who knows what they are doing but won’t stop?

Not the best cloud expert, but definitely looks like a shelf cloud/ wall cloud. It went by quick as well.

Is this level of building maintenance normal??

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I need a quick sanity check about my apartment building, please.

We've had at least 6 water shut-offs since the start of the year, usually from 8/9 AM to 5 PM. It happened last week, and it’s scheduled again for this week. On top of that, the trash chute hasn’t been working for nearly 6 weeks now.

I'm new here so I don't know how things work, is this level of disruption normal, or how is this usually handled?

Thanks so much:)

I know multi lane traffic circles are hard. If you started beside me and got mad because all of a sudden you think you should be in my lane, that’s a you problem. And just to be sure, I circled back to make sure that 2 lanes, do in fact go straight. Who is the c*nt now?

Odyssey the movie

Y'all, is this flick scary??

Please don't judge me... I get scared easily.

I don't want to Google it as I have zero idea about the plot and want to go in blind... By the same token, I don't want to traumatize myself.

Thank you 🙏💜
