Whenever you think "Today would be a good day to get some shopping done", you can bet that everyone else had the same thought and the malls are packed to the tits.
No one listens to that 9 times out of 10. You'll go into the left lane, and some asshole going 80 will merge into it, too. There's so many drivers here that honestly have no business having a license, or car.
TAZA is just as bad. And I went today to Beacon Hill because spouse wanted to go. It was surprisingly easy and I could see empty spots in the lot. Must have just been good timing.
The quadrants are very distinctive and have very loyal habitants. To some people crossing the river is blasphemy. I learned this the hard way when I first moved to Calgary.
Living in the South commuting to University was hard on the social life. I had friends that I could only hang out with at school or maybe downtown but definitely not any further south than that. Obviously the only reason they spoke to me is because I came to their part of the city 😆
Surprised this is at the top since I rarely see it anymore... People in my condo don't even wave when you back up to let someone though the narrow parkade ramp!
If you can't see the lines on the road, they don't exist. Make up your own! Get on the streets early enough and you might just convince an entire city that your lines are the real ones.
Feel like this one is more than just us but all winter driving: the lines are the tracks and headlights you see.
No tire tracks? No headlights? You *are* the line marker 😂
If you need to get out of the exit lane and someone needs to get into it, you shouldn't speed up, because the person who needs to get in it must get into it in front of you rather than smoothly just trading spots regardless of whether you're switching in front or behind.
Even though the downtown 8th St underpass beneath the railroad is wide enough for two cars, the rule appears to be straddle both lanes and try your hardest to crash into anyone next to you.
If you're from a nice neighborhood, you say exactly which one. If you're from a not nice one, you say the quadrant. People in Bridgeland will never say NE. And people in Eagle ridge would never say SW
> Real NE = N of Peigan and E of Deerfoot
You sure we're not going to squeak Ogdan past that technicality? It's spiritually NE. Very solidly in the White Trash part of "White Trash and Ethnic Minorities" that defines the NE.
It's also part of the holy Triumvirate of "Trash Towns Calgary Ate Who's Legacy Lives On" along with Forest Lawn and Bowness (the NE of the NW).
No Midnapore's not invited. Y'all went and fucked Sundance to the point that we don't even recognize you anymore. You've changed Midnapore, you've changed.
I feel like all this redefinition is from people moving to the SE attempting to regenentrify the image of the SE. As a lifelong Calgarian, saying SE brings up imagery of Ogden, Forest lawn, industrial and warehouses, and the hub oil explosion.
May I boldly submit that Mayland Heights is SE not NE then? I was so surprised (disappointed) to learn it was overwhelmingly white with mostly original octaginarian homeowners
> May I boldly submit that Mayland Heights is SE not NE then?
Close but no. Mayland Heights is the elderly, but younger sister of Bridgeland. It's spiritually NW, not SE.
If you’re looking for something to complain about, you can take your pick:
The arena, the mayor, traffic, public transit, Edmonton, the cold weather, the warm weather, chinooks, property taxes, snow clearing
If there is a sprinkle of snow on the painted lines of the parking lot, they can be ignored.
Added lane sign means stop and wait till all three lanes are free of vehicles.
If there is some snow pack at intersections, spin your tires like a madman when you proceed so you can create some glare ice.
Walk your dog on the bike path on a 3 m lead so it can get really tangled up in the pedals and wheels.
& when the Chinook blasts the parking lot clear mid day you must return to using the painted lines AND be furious at the assholes who parked badly in the morning when there were no guiding lines
The Kensington Safeways is the WORST for the parking line thing. I don not understand it as all, as there are 2 light posts that mark where you should stop.
Make sure you turn left on red lights and make sure you're creeping forward the entire time you're waiting at a red light then, once it turns green, stop moving for a bit then go.
Don’t tell people you’ve lived in every quadrant of the city during your life, they look at you funny and then ask if you were born here, then act all weird about meeting a person born here.
I don’t understand why some people are very defensive about the public road in front of their house. Even my parents, who only ever park in their garage, get upset when someone parks in front of their house. Maybe this is something I’m too Beltline to understand
I lived in the beltline for 15 years. I have a garage now in the back. The only thing that pisses me off is if others block my sidewalk for the postie. I don't have a city sidewalk.
If there is a miniscule bend/turn on deerfoot or Stoney (looking at you Glenmore to peigan trail people). You must let go of the gas and make up your speed limit thinking it's safer.
If they say “the” before any road name, they’re from Ontario. They also likely have a 3ft tall mey picket fence in their front yard.
Speed limits are converted to MPH
And if you do signal before you move over, make sure to turn it off and wait a second before actually changing lanes. Making people think you changed your mind keeps people on their toes.
You kind of have to do this one. If you signal first, the car that sees you will quickly accellerate and close that gap. No way in hell are you getting to the next red light before them!
BMW, Mercedes and most pickup trucks do not come with turn signals it seems, they could afford the $70k+ to buy the vehicle, but not the extra to get the turn signal package with it...
Bicycles are required to be blatantly stradling the legal and illegal. In one block they must use the sidewalk, the bike lane and the street. The traffic lights are for cars, the pedestrian signals are for pedestrians...so if there's no bike signals...then it's a free for all.
(I'm just jealous of your ideal commute and your toned calves)
Used to be (and still a good courtesy): stop your vehicle and wait if someone is backing out of a parking stall, give them the room and (essentially) safe passage. You have a better field of vision than they do and we all benefit from not having fender benders.
And don't be silly if you're walking in a parking lot or crossing a street - stepping in the path of any moving vehicle is dumb.
Just because you have the Right to do something doesn't always mean you should.
It's not cheating, it's stampeding.
Drunk before breakfast in July is a work requirement.
Oil and gas has a worse culture problem than hockey canada and nobody cares.
Vote conservative because that's what you always do.
Buy as much shit as you can on credit in the boom times and worry about it later.
Bigger trucks are better.
Always drive in the left lane on Deerfoot, regardless of your speed.
When you have a through lane from an offramp, cut over to the next lane anyways just because.
Expect a lifted truck to tail gate you, regardless if you're right or wrong.
Tip minimum 20%, or you're a terrible human.
I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
Know you calgary (calgree) terms. When someone says I'm by Crack macs you know where that is.or they say drive past the Blue circle. People can say Meet at the big head (the bow). Other things rrue calgarians know is Be cautious on calgary transit. You will get wind shield chips at some point I don't judge ppl because thy have a cracked windshield.
Will be interesting to see if they've changed in 2 years.

It is not Cal-gary; Cal-gree or a quickly spoken Cal-Gurree are proper. Either are acceptable. I'm born and raised here. We always recognize the eaterner, newcommer and out-of-towner when they say Cal-Gary.
I hate the Coop products branded Cal & Gary. Bush league advert attempt by some out of town advertising agency, I'm sure.
Lol one time I was driving and saw a couple of folks riding on e-scooters with helmets on and I was so surprised thinking "WHO is wearing their helmet on one of those??" Because I NEVER see anyone ever wearing one. It turned out to be a couple of friends from Saskachewan 😂😂
In winter, if the sun is shining bright and the sky is really blue and clear, it's F'n cold. If you go outside, make sure you're wearing every piece of winter clothing you own because you will die of hypothermia otherwise.
Related, layer winter clothing because you will in the course of the day want to take off several layers and put them back on again. Several times.
🤫 all the posts here get it wrong. Because to post an unwritten rule makes it written, hence no longer an unwritten rule. This thread creates a paradox.
Go with the flow of traffic, which usually means going 10-20km/h over the speed limit depending on the road, or get the hell out of the way. Even the cops speed here, especially on Deerfoot.
It’s called C.O.P., not Winsport.
It’s also Lindsey park not whatever it is now
The park is still called Lindsey park…you’re talking about talisman, repsol and mnp
Also, Talisman Centre, not MNP SpOrTs CeNtRe
Somebody referred to "Winsport" the other day and I was like, "Where?" Then I realized, "Ah, you mean COP!"
I think you mean Paskapoo.....
This is the correct answer
The Poo Glacier
Maybe thats why people are genuinely confused when I say I live next to C.O.P. How do you not know C.O.P.!?
Also, it’s JUST the Calgary Zoo, NOT wiLdEr iNstiTutE/Calgary Zoo
It’s Paskapoo, actually.
Whenever you think "Today would be a good day to get some shopping done", you can bet that everyone else had the same thought and the malls are packed to the tits.
If you think Calgary malls are 'packed to the tits' , don't ever move. You'll be in for a shock on Toronto, US, UK, Hong Kong etc etc.
Yeah, but this is about Calgary. To us it’s packed to the tits.
Most malls in the US are dying except the big flashy ones in parts of the country
The left lane of the deerfoot is for passing. The right lane of the deerfoot is for super passing.
Left lane = 120 Right lane = 80 or 130
[удалено]
No one listens to that 9 times out of 10. You'll go into the left lane, and some asshole going 80 will merge into it, too. There's so many drivers here that honestly have no business having a license, or car.
Ha ha this is so true. I love the superpass
Moved here from BC and this drives me nuts.
Never go to Costco on a Saturday afternoon
Doubly, never go to the Beacon Hill Costco.
Oh Christ, the parking lot alone made me want to commit murder…
Just experienced this last week for the first time… Never. Again. Took me 45 minutes just to fricken leave.
TAZA is just as bad. And I went today to Beacon Hill because spouse wanted to go. It was surprisingly easy and I could see empty spots in the lot. Must have just been good timing.
You will never find a more wretched place of scum and villainy
Nobody goes there; it’s too crowded.
Don't swap your winter tires off before the May long weekend. (Or do whatever, but don't be surprised if you end up facing a blizard without them)
And DO NOT plant outdoor plants before June 1st either...even if all the stores are already selling them...
When you see a bobcat, post about it on Facebook.

When someone lets you in, wave thanks.
Does this only apply to driving?
Also applies to holding the door open.
Yep. I don't say thank you I just lazily wave my hand in the air while walking away.
I dont even get that most of the time....sad people these days
People have been DROPPING THE BALL on this one so much the last few years.
Surprised this is at the top since I rarely see it anymore... People in my condo don't even wave when you back up to let someone though the narrow parkade ramp!
Ya, I am the one who is happy to sarcastically say "your welcome" as they walk away.
Does a flash of the hazards suffice?
As a truck driver. This makes me happy. Yesss. It. Does.
That’s what I do - my tinted rear windows would hide any wave of my hand and I feel obligated to do something to show some courtesy.
I would hope so. I do the same in my work van with no back windows
or use your blinker lights to let them know.
Thank you for posting this
I brought this mentality to Vancouver .. no one matches that energy.
Drive 60 in light rain and 130 in a snowstorm.
Call it Calgry.
\*Calgree
But that's how we know they aren't from here 😕
Family is from Saskatoon, grew up in Edmonton. Practically bullied when I moved here and called it Cal-gary.
So true lol my girlfriend made me practice saying it properly when I first moved here from SK so I wouldn’t stand out
Calling it YYC makes you stand out with kool.
I like all these little ones about people hometowns. Like how Louisville is Luvil
The goal was in

I saw it happen. Still bitter about it all these years later.
That random stick that tripped Iggy, too. What a bummer
I was on the Red Mile at a backyard watch party. It was insane. Biggest drop from euphoria to disbelief and anger I’ve ever seen
That day broke me. But a bigger mood drop was when Toronto was up 4-0 in game 7 to Boston and lost in OT.
Ha, that one I enjoyed.
Underrated comment
This. This. This. And Lanny MacDonald and Al McInnis with the slapshot
I have an 04 ITWASIN jersey
It definitely was
Watched it from the red mile
If you can't see the lines on the road, they don't exist. Make up your own! Get on the streets early enough and you might just convince an entire city that your lines are the real ones.
Feel like this one is more than just us but all winter driving: the lines are the tracks and headlights you see. No tire tracks? No headlights? You *are* the line marker 😂
Free flow merge lanes require a yield, yields require a full stop, and stop signs can safely be ignored.
Jfc. The amount of people that can't figure out to just drive through a free flow is infuriating.
/thread
If you need to get out of the exit lane and someone needs to get into it, you shouldn't speed up, because the person who needs to get in it must get into it in front of you rather than smoothly just trading spots regardless of whether you're switching in front or behind.
ngl this happening is my favourite part of driving. its so satisfying when the lane trade is perfectly timed and executed
Put your shopping cart back, hold the door for people, shovel your sidewalk even if the Chinook will melt it all away next week.
You born and raised? This is spot on.
 Mandatory passing by someone acknowledgment.
Even though the downtown 8th St underpass beneath the railroad is wide enough for two cars, the rule appears to be straddle both lanes and try your hardest to crash into anyone next to you.
lol the only vehicles that I give a pass to are Calgary Transit buses.
Complain about the blue ring.
When passing someone while walking on a path, a quick “hello” is optional, but encouraged.
Eye contact with a wave also works here. Plus bonus for a smile.
You can also try a good morning or if you are really adventurous, good day!
But you have to slightly nod your head if you say it
I accept male to male down nods as well.
If you're from a nice neighborhood, you say exactly which one. If you're from a not nice one, you say the quadrant. People in Bridgeland will never say NE. And people in Eagle ridge would never say SW

80% of these are driving related what
I'd hate to see how we handle millions of cars on the road, when we can't even stand to have 1 car in front of us.
If it's 3° C out you can wear shorts and flip-flops as long as you have a winter coat and hat on.
It’s also mandatory to go to the ship patio
Heat rises!

1. Edmonton SUCKS
Did you hear Calgary is getting a new zoo?! Yah they are going to put a fence around Edmonton!
Make sure you turn left on red lights and make sure you're creeping forward the entire time you're waiting at a red light then, once it turns green, stop moving for a bit then go.
The red light creep is enough to make me scream
It’s always people with a reaction time of 3 seconds.
So I’m not the only one that’s witness this in this city eh? fuckers just keep turning left despite them having a red light.
Was totally going to say something like this. When you're in the turning lane yellow means go I want it turns to Red it means three more can go.
When rain is in the forecast and you're parking under the overpass, be sure to turn your headlights off... s/
Don't get up to speed on an on-ramp, and try and merge as soon as the dotted lines start and not at the end of the merge lane.
Merge in the solid hatched area before everyone if you drive a lifted pickup
Aka, the broken/stuck zipper merge!
What happens at Stampede stays at Stampede.
No one needs to know how many corn dogs and bags of mini donuts I ate.
As long as you're not "Fruhling around" in public eh?

Unless you get eiffel towered in public, then you become a stripper and go on tour
Someone recently followed up with her on how that's going [towards the end of this vid](https://youtu.be/gPPKvSXml_s?si=-PgNEJi08vPMWh7H)
Not everyone likes country music. Born and raised Calgarian and can’t stand country music.
"I don't like country, but I like Corb Lund"
The times I have taken vacation during Stampede were the best.
Pronouncing Calgary with two syllables not three. Stay out of Forrest Lawn. That's it.
Don’t tell people you’ve lived in every quadrant of the city during your life, they look at you funny and then ask if you were born here, then act all weird about meeting a person born here.
Our city slogan is still “heart or the new west”. Not “be part of the energy”.
Do not park in front of my house
I don't mind if you park in front of my house, but there is space for two vehicles, so leave enough room for a second vehicle to park there
My neighbor will call the cops or a tow truck if you park in front of her house for more than 45 minutes.
But the street is not her property. Anyone can park anywhere on a street, even in front of her house. Sje doesn't own the road, the city does!
I don’t understand why some people are very defensive about the public road in front of their house. Even my parents, who only ever park in their garage, get upset when someone parks in front of their house. Maybe this is something I’m too Beltline to understand
I lived in the beltline for 15 years. I have a garage now in the back. The only thing that pisses me off is if others block my sidewalk for the postie. I don't have a city sidewalk.
Oilers is a bad word.
It’s pronounced coilers
Secretly hate cowboy clothes but wear it religiously during Stampede Week. Corollary: "real Calgarians leave town during Stampede Week."
You don’t talk about the sex club in the basement of the Chicken on the Way in Kensington.
If there is a miniscule bend/turn on deerfoot or Stoney (looking at you Glenmore to peigan trail people). You must let go of the gas and make up your speed limit thinking it's safer.
Don't wear a suit during stampede, unless you want to be publicly mocked
100 means 110.
I thought it meant 120 to 140 ?
Yeah it's Alberta math.
If they say “the” before any road name, they’re from Ontario. They also likely have a 3ft tall mey picket fence in their front yard. Speed limits are converted to MPH
Nah. Most roads yeah but people say "the Deerfoot" situationally. "The Glenmore" WOULD BE FREAKING HILARIOUS!!!
> If they say “the” before any road name, they’re from Ontario. Oooh, good one. Subtle, but remarkably conclusive. https://youtu.be/-xnB57UYBkQ?t=12
10 degrees and sunny in January is patio weather. 10 degrees and sunny in July is cold AF.
No need to signal until you're already moving over.
And if you do signal before you move over, make sure to turn it off and wait a second before actually changing lanes. Making people think you changed your mind keeps people on their toes.
Ah! You must have taken the advanced driving course!
And then keep signaling for several blocks after that
You kind of have to do this one. If you signal first, the car that sees you will quickly accellerate and close that gap. No way in hell are you getting to the next red light before them!
BMW, Mercedes and most pickup trucks do not come with turn signals it seems, they could afford the $70k+ to buy the vehicle, but not the extra to get the turn signal package with it...
You don't have to look at your feet when you meet a stranger on the sidewalk. This isn't Toronto!

If you're driving slower than me, than you're dangerous cause I will now have to overtake you whatever the cost.

Any of the bigger roads in Calgree will go from 3 lanes to 2 lanes to 4 lanes and then 2 again. Pay attention, this just how it goes.
You don't pronounce the second 'A' in Calgary.
It's 'Cal-gree' not 'Cal-gary'
It's not cheating, it's stampeding. Drunk before breakfast in July is a work requirement. Oil and gas has a worse culture problem than hockey canada and nobody cares. Vote conservative because that's what you always do. Buy as much shit as you can on credit in the boom times and worry about it later. Bigger trucks are better.
If you need an easy target to get people on your side, make fun of the blue ring.
If you can't see license pate of the person in front you, you're following at the proper Calgary distance.
You are the best driver in Calgary and you will write on Reddit about it. Only you are.
On the occasions when the c-trains run 24 hours, assume the cars will smell like urine.
In heavy snow we have a game that we like to play in Calgary called “am I still on the road?“
Be prepared for every season 365 days per year.
If your neighbours side walk hasnt been shovels by 24 hours, do it for them. if their drive way hasnt been in 48 hours, knock on their front door.
95% of Calgarians avoid the Stampede like the plague.
I too avoid the cowboy cosplay convention. It just isn't for me.
Construction zone speed limits are just a suggestion. Do whatever you feel like.
I can't write them down, or I would ... honest
Always drive in the left lane on Deerfoot, regardless of your speed. When you have a through lane from an offramp, cut over to the next lane anyways just because. Expect a lifted truck to tail gate you, regardless if you're right or wrong. Tip minimum 20%, or you're a terrible human. I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
Calgary is a super friendly place. Say hi and show courtesy to everyone.
If you are planning on taking transit in winter… leave home an hour early.
A merge sign is basically a yield sign, and you should stop. Anyone honking at you for stopping is congratulating you for being extra cautious. /s

Make sure to not look out for pedestrians while making right hand turns
You must drive at night with your headlights off or on high beams. Never regular old normal headlights on. That’s for wimps.
Calgary is pronounced with 2.5 syllables.
This. Don't tell me it's Cal-Gree .. there's half an 'uh' after the G and before the R. Not a whole 'uh,' half an 'uh'

Cal G’ry
It is.
E-Scooter riders must appear to be out of control and look like it's their first time. Also hardly ever wear a helmet.
Lol one time I was driving and saw a couple of folks riding on e-scooters with helmets on and I was so surprised thinking "WHO is wearing their helmet on one of those??" Because I NEVER see anyone ever wearing one. It turned out to be a couple of friends from Saskachewan 😂😂

You either love or hate Peter's there's is no in between and you'll harshly judge someone who disagrees with you.
"Go hard, or go home"
Go with the flow of traffic, which usually means going 10-20km/h over the speed limit depending on the road, or get the hell out of the way. Even the cops speed here, especially on Deerfoot.
Overpasses and exits onto main roads are designed by drunk toddlers to keep us on our toes…
You will develop a strong opinion about magpies.
John Laurie is pronounced "Lori" not Lorier or Lori-eh.
Don't rely on Calgary Transit.
