One of the professors here had a baby a few years back and we were sitting in a meeting while she was on leave and the everyone was talking about how great it was that she gets 30 whole days off, full pay

I blurted out "that's it??" without thinking

They all looked a little pissy and said "why, what is it in Canada?"

"Like...forty weeks at half pay, or something like that?"

Dead silence for a seemingly interminable time and then finally one said, very bitterly, "well, we can't all be Canadian"

there's this one guy who works in my building who parks his tesla near the elevator in the parking garage and then uses one of those adapters and an extension cord to plug it in to the electrical outlet near the elevator and steal the building's electricity :allears:

e: oh i just remembered he used to park in the loving handicapped spot to do this too until i presume he got a ticket or towed or something so now he parks right next to the handicapped spot and snakes his extension cord around it

sometimes the cord was clearly unplugged and just left in a corner, still connected to his car, so I assume the maintenance / watchman guy periodically yanks it out when he sees it but can't tell the guy to cut it out for some reason
