So today while I was on the bus returning from my latest Physiotherapy appointment, I had an errant thought. It led to my new blog - and I will explain my thought process which brought me to this decision.

Lately, I've been noticing a lot of "inconsistencies" with daily life. Why do some people seem to have it so much better than others? What am I missing? And then it hit me - it's not true. The thought that others have an easier life than me is a fallacy, and I intend to start discussions about our daily struggles.

Here is my very first, of what I hope to be many, daily struggles in which I've been encountering.

This is a bagel, from Tim Hortons. More specifically, this bagel is from the Tim Horton's Drive Thru at Harmony Rd and Taunton in Oshawa, Ontario. The reason that I decided to take a picture of this normal - looking bagel is because I requested it to be double-toasted, with herb and garlic cream cheese. Not only did I request this, but I also asked the gentleman at the speaker to ensure that it was in fact double toasted. Does this look to be double toasted to you?

Me either.

I couldn't believe it - and it's not the first time. In fact, every time I have ordered a bagel double toasted, it looks similar to this one. I am tired of it. Why am I requesting something if no one hears me? Why do I bother spending my $2+ on something that I didn't ask for?

Because this occurred in the drive thru, I wasn't actually in a position to return to the restaurant and complain about this. I will, however, be writing to Tim Hortons (again) in regards to my complaint. I believe that it is founded - and am sure I'm not the only one affected by this.

It's outrageous that in the world we live in we're more focused on convenience and speed than on individual customer satisfaction. Things seem cheaper on the surface when in reality they're more expensive than they used to be. I don't like paying for something that I don't enjoy - and I'm assuming that you don't either.

Thank you for sharing my first blog post with me :)
