The weather going from -5 to +12 in a matter of days
Snow one day, nothing the next. Every single year. Every single winter. We're all used to it, and we fucking hate it.
The ever-changing weather in general
Dear weather, make up your mind. (This photo was taken at Toronto WorldPride 2013 – heavy rain came before this. Don't be fooled.)
Passing by Lights on the street
She recently moved to B.C. with her adorable family, but Toronto is Lights' hometown, so you're likely to see them here and there in the city. Please don't freak out and pester them for autographs if you spot them.

Merging onto the Don Valley Parkway during rush hour
Yeah, traffic sucks everywhere, but is anything as bad as merging with the 401 eastbound, 401 westbound, 404 southbound, AND the HOV lane all at once? Only Toronto drivers know the pain.
Construction all the time, EVERYWHERE
WILL IT EVER END???
The answer is no.
Waiting forever... Patiently... In line at restaurants
Despite the abundance of amazing restaurants in Toronto, there always seems to be a damn long wait before you actually get to sit down. (I once waited an hour and a half to get into El Furniture Warehouse.) Only Torontonians can be this patient.
The Leafs not making the playoffs
We're used to it...
People trying to convert you at every corner of Yonge-Dundas Square
Please stop.
The "Believe" guy scaring passersby
You've passed this man thousands of times already, so you're not phased when he looks up at you and yells, "BELIEVE IN THE LORD!" You'll know if someone's not from here if they react.
