4. Complain about Kinder Morgan and how futile complaining about Kinder Morgan probably is.

5. Complain about how warm the weather’s been.

6. Complain about how it rained on the one day you had plans to go outside.

7. Complain about TransLink and how much money you think they probably waste.

8. Complain about Vancouver being a “No Fun City.”

9. Complain about how expensive Whole Foods has gotten.
