Someone just returned from three weeks in Italy eating pasta and pizza with zero bloating, but landed in Montreal and started puffing up within days. Thread's debating whether it's the food, stress, or water quality.
Someone on Reddit's asking for recommendations on affordable clinics in Montreal or the South Shore to remove multiple skin tags at once—looking for bulk pricing instead of per-tag charges. If you've got a good spot, holler.
Guy talked through the first part of Odyssey at Scotiabank IMAX then his phone went off full blast during a quiet scene. Someone finally told him off—and he got mad like HE was wronged. Theatre MVP move. Film was glorious btw.
People are noticing the deposit bottle and can machines around the city are being marked out of order and never coming back online. Some Montrealers rely on the recycling refund program as income — locals are worried the redemption system is being scaled down or closed entirely.
REM train lost power Friday and had to evacuate passengers onto the tracks mid-route. Details are still coming in but people are saying it was a rough experience getting everyone off safely.
Someone's asking where to find a specialty keyboard in Montreal — you know, the specific format, specific switch type, somewhere you can actually hear them click before buying. Sounds like the internet's not cutting it. Anyone know a shop with real stock?
Heads up if you're hitting Vice et Versa's patio this weekend — chairs have been collapsing under people lately. Staff say it's been happening for weeks but the boss hasn't replaced them yet. They're documenting incidents to build a case. If your seat feels wobbly, grab another one.
someone headed to l'anse à l'orme got stuck at de ruisseau, then the train randomly switched to a4 heading to deux-montagnes at bois-franc with zero heads-up. everyone got off confused. rem delays + line switches = people losing it rn.
someone on r/montreal asking if 4 days in montreal + 2 days in quebec city is enough for their first east coast trip (jul 25 to aug 2). commentsection already arguing whether they should spend more time in one over the other.
someone noticed their building skips floor 13 entirely and wondering if it's just bad luck or an actual error in the design. turns out a lot of montreal buildings do this.
Reddit user's been taking the orange line from downtown for years without a zone AB pass. Just found out this week that inspectors are real and you can get nailed on arrival at Montmorency if you don't have the right ticket. Might want to check yours.

Montreal has one of the rarest screens in the world — the only IMAX 70mm in the city. If you caught The Odyssey on it, let everyone know if it was worth the trip. Sound quality and all.
Airport pickup just got way more expensive. Last year you could park free for 45 minutes at P4, now it's $8 per 20 minutes. Same shuttle ride, way less appeal — most people are just waiting in arrivals traffic instead.
Every time someone takes the REM in the heat, they end up drenched — the AC seems like it's just for show. Brand new train, driverless, all glass and steel, but no one thought about keeping people from sweating through their commute. At least you can complain about the STM's buses openly.
Two cars had their catalytic converters stolen on Upper Lachine in NDG overnight. Check your car before driving if you parked in the area.
