- Some people just don’t like Google Street View. One Liberty Village driver was so unimpressed with the tech giant’s all-seeing car that he apparently flipped the camera the bird while it passed by.

- Today, in passive-aggressive (or maybe just aggressive-aggressive) handmade signs, a “POLITE FUCKING WARNING” to an unappreciated litterer, on a newspaper box on Queen West.
