Catpaw offers a half-assed apology then goes on a rant
I’m still on a bender regarding the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) and it’s rude staff. Today I had my fill of it. I also need to apologise to all the 17 TTC workers I spotted in front of my building. You see I live over a subway line and there has been work going on [...]
