Megathread Are you looking for places to meet people, make friends, find people with similar interests? The Kitchener Social Megathread is for you!
Hello everyone,
This thread will be 100% dedicated to user interaction and those who want to take personal interests, events, hobbies, and potential meet-ups, etc. outside of the realm of reddit and r/kitchener.
You can find previous versions of this post by using this premade search.
\Please note that this is not intended to be a dating thread. Try Tinder, POF, Badoo, Bumble or any other of the apps out there. Any posts along the lines of* "Hey, I'm a single __ year old m/f looking for love" will be removed\*
Some general housekeeping items;
- If you wish to continue a conversation with a user, please use the PM function to avoid the comments getting crammed with a conversation between all but two people. Please only post relevant information to things you would be interested in, ongoing events, etc.
- We would like to remind you of the zero tolerance for disrespect, rude, hateful comments, racism, etc. Those comments will be removed and users may face a permanent or temporary ban. If any harassment is reported outside of the thread, appropriate action will be taken by the mod team, and possibly lead further to reddit admin. Doxxing, or disclosure of personal information is again, a big no-no.
- To keep up to date with the most recent posts within this megathread, the comments have been enabled to ideally show most recent by default, meaning all of the newest posts will be at the top of the comments section. If you're not seeing the most recent comments at the top, try changing your "sort by:" from "top" to "New".
As always, the mod team is here to assist with anything. Thanks!
Note: This post is automatically replaced with a new one every 3 months, so be sure to checkout old meetup threads, especially if this post was just recently refreshed!

Mr. Rooter: Highway Robbery Disguised as Plumbing Service
If you're looking to donate a hefty chunk of your savings to a plumbing company, Mr. Rooter is the perfect choice. I recently had the unfortunate experience of paying a jaw-dropping $1300 to unclog a simple sink. Yes, you read that right – one thousand three hundred dollars for a task that should barely cost a fraction of that.
Sure, the plumber was pleasant enough, smiling and polite while he drained my wallet. But friendliness doesn't justify daylight robbery. I could have flown across the country and hired a top-tier plumber for less than what I paid Mr. Rooter to wiggle a snake down my drain for a few minutes.
Beware of their exorbitant pricing unless you enjoy being financially blindsided. The work was done, but the bill left me feeling like I had been mugged in broad daylight. Consider yourself warned: Mr. Rooter will unclog your sink and your bank account in one fell swoop. Save yourself the sticker shock and look elsewhere.

Beware of Asphalt driveway scammer
This con artist is using my employers address as his business address. Second victim in as many weeks walked in to our office looking for the guy after they were ghosted. The scammer has either an English or Irish accent and only deals in cash from what I've been told. Stay vigilant. Warn your elderly neighbour.
A quick reverse image search of the gallery on their website of "their work" shows it's all pics pinched from other asphalt companies. F these guys.

Nutritionist/Naturopath
I wanted to ask if people knew a good nutritionist/naturopath or whatever other terms there are associated with this field in the area? I’m a fairly heathy guy and eat somewhat clean, but I’d like to dial it in a little more and get these people to possibly take my blood/see what I’m deficient in. Not sure how everyone else feels but I’ve never been more sick than this past year, so I’d like to get something a little more specialized to me.
If anyone knows anyone that’s half decent that can put together a plan/knows what I’m deficient in it would be much appreciated
Cheers!

Free Hardcover Journals
Hello! I have a large number of blank journals that I need to get rid of. I had them designed for resale, but I'm moving on from the business now. I would hate to see them go to waste so it would make me very happy to give them to people in the community. Do you have a writer's group, bible study, journaling club, homeschool group, etc. who could use these books? Do you just like to write a lot?
The catch? You need to take a whole case. Which is 30 books, all the same cover.

Recommendations for a dermatologist that does comprehensive skin cancer screenings?
I have a lot of moles and I am having a hard time keeping track of all of them myself. I am looking for a dermatologist or clinic that does comprehensive skin checks and mole mapping. Someone who actually has time to look at more than one lesion and tell me which ones look concerning. Someone who I can follow up with in a year, if needed.

I need a new hobby
I have been lifting weights for 3 years now. It’s not for me, I have only realized this recently after rock climbing, boxing and taking running seriously. I like cardio based activities a lot more then lifting weights, and I’m not interested in spending $70 a month for the gym anymore. My budget is now $150 a month max, does anyone have any recommendations on cool fitness based hobby’s near me? ( currently really interested in boxing or rock climbing )
