Just a heads up:

Today I was contacted by yet another totally confused person (multiple have done so in the last year) claiming that I called their personal cell number, yet I had never heard of them/ seen their number in my life, and had no record of doing so. Being concerned that my personal information/ identity was compromised, I called my provider and they explained that, according to my account information within their server, there was no evidence to suggest this outgoing call--or any others like it--ever happened. I then reached out to my Facebook friends and learned of an app available for smartphones which allows a user to make outgoing calls in such a manner that they can call using any number they select (other than their own) to appear on the recipient's caller ID (simply put, number "hijacking"). Why this is even allowed or possible, blows my mind. The individual who called me today was too afraid to answer the call I supposedly made to them, so I have no information on the motive behind this--for lack of better words--"prank". If this happens or has happened to you or somebody you know, my advice would be to answer the phone and see what is going on. For those dealing with accusations of these calls, contact your provider as soon as possible and ensure your identity is safe and your personal information is secure. This is an invasion of privacy and should not be tolerated.

Spotted: the staff at the EB Games in Tecumseh Mall,

It's amazing the clientele you have to deal with on a daily basis. From social inept nerds (like myself! haha) to folks ignorant to the gaming world, to bratty kids who scream and get what they want, to beef heads who yell at you (especially the ladies), and the folks who just can't seem to figure out you don't want to talk to them like you are longtime friends.

I know many (if not all) of you work part-time or full-time elsewhere and you continue to subject yourself to the public for the sake of a passion for gaming (and probably the discount lol). Keep up the good work.

My son lost his cell phone either at a bus stop in Forest Glade or on the 1C bus on Friday January 31. He was headed to Tecumseh Mall. If you have found it, would you kindly contact us, he can describe it to you. Thanks.

I was running late to work after hearing some bad family news. I stopped at the subway on Howard just off the expressway. The girl at the counter couldn't get the debit to work and I was running out of time and could t get to the bank machine (work midnights). She mentioned it was acting up all dad and didn't want to call the manager so late. I dug out a $5 and nothing else. It was almost 7 and she said "don't worry about it, I will take it out of my tips. I was shocked. I promised to go back next time I was through and pay back. the redhead waitress wasn't there but I am confident it will be past off to her. and I will be in that store again with a much better tip ( I decided quick and only had a two dollar coin On me and stopped. Bottom line, It made my
Night. Sub was awesome and my faith in humanity restored !

I complained to this store LAST WINTER that this was broken. Apparantly this place doesn't care if customers need their windows cleaned. All their cleaning stations are either broken or empty. This gas station is @ the corner of Seminole & pillette. They should be ashamed. M*** M*ilk, you have been spotted

to the ladies behind me in line at Fresh Co. on McDougall yesterday at 4:30pm:
Thank you for your kindness. They noticed something I was buying and handed me a coupon for it - so I would get it for FREE. Then, I felt bad because an item I purchased rang up too much and I held the line up and asked the clerk to check if i was correct in my price. The same ladies behind me perked up and said "She gets that free now right, because of the Scanning Code of Practice". The cashier would not have told me that rule but because these awesome ladies were there I got 2 things FREE!
Thank you ladies, you have been Spotted. That $7 will be paid forward.
Signed,
The one is Awe of your kindness.

A BIG THANK YOU goes out to the Windsor Regional Hospital employee who found my white Fossil watch at the gym and brought it to ER Security at Met campus! Your kindness and honesty are MUCH appreciated! It's good to know there are genuine individuals out there! Wish I knew who you were so I could thank you personally! Time for me to pay it forward :)
