Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
On my daily walks in South Windsor, and I'm sure all over the city you have one not so kind neighbour leaving poo bags in fields along fence posts and beside garbage bins. If you are going to take the time to pick it up then take the time to dispose of it properly. You don't think you've been SPOTTED?....think again. The pile of black poo bags by Curry Park ..you've been Spotted. From every window around your neighbourhood there is someone watching you. It is only a matter of time when that pile gets too high someone is going to follow you home..get your address and report it. Sure, first its a warning but, it could be nice fine that your not prepared for the next time. So please be a responsible dog owner. Pick it up and toss it in the garbage.
Today. 1:30pm. Walker Road EC Row Expressway Entrance Ramp. Silver Jeep. HELLOOO driver!! You obviously realize mid- ramp you made a mistake, so your response is to BACK OUT of the ramp!!! You are an IDIOT! Thankfully those of us approaching to merge onto the ramp, and those with the green light to turn left into the ramp across Northbound traffic on Walker Road were all paying attention so as to not become embroiled in a major collision. Seriously, WTF is the matter with Windsor drivers. Note to self buddy- next time follow the rules of the road, or stay off them. Like someone's safety isn't worth an extra 7 minutes if your time...,. In a hurry to go no where!😡
Today I was sitting outside my sons school Percy p McCallum, waiting for the bell to ring. A younger mom got out of a black Grand Prix and ran In to grab her kids. She had two beautiful little girls. As she brought them back to the car she was screaming and swearing at them to get in the car and to hurry up and let's go! And when I say screaming I am not exaggerating. Not only did she jump in the car as fast as she could, the two girls had to open the doors to the car get in and shut the doors all while the mom was still screaming from inside to hurry up. One of the little girls was maybe 5-6 and struggled with the door. It amazes me that a parent, who's at least in her late 20s can scream so loud and swear at such a little child. My heart is with those girls today. And really to the crappy parent and whoever the other adult was in the car... If you were in such a hurry you could have helped the kids get in the car instead of jumped in and let them do it theirselves.
As a proud Canadian citizen and friend's of men who have served as REGULAR force Non Commission Member's I have spotted a problem which needs amending. I have never served for this country, but being a close friend of someone who has, I see the tremendous amount of pride taken in doing so. Needless to say the number of individuals in this city who I have spotted wearing their fatigues, when civilian attire is appropriate is despicable. This is not intended to harp on those who have enlisted as reservists enrolled in the Canadian armed forces but these are the ones who this is directed towards. Please stop being SPOTTED wearing your fatigues in a non duty environment .I have witnessed at 1 am at Caesar's Windsor and strolling the streets of Oullette, intoxicated individuals who are not following protocol. You are not serving this country as you should but the opposite. I don't know if this is to add to an element of your pickup game or to be cool but, to people who take pride in what the uniform stands for (CANADA), it is an embarrassing site. I, as a proud member of this country ask kindly that you follow the orders of the Queen and only wear your uniform when you are entitled. It is disrespectful to myself and even more so for those who have breasted the Canadian flag in battle. This isn't a joke. I have brought this to the attention of many regular force members who serve this country everyday and the disrespect which goes along with these actions is great. I thank every member of the Canadian armed forces for the duties they carry out on a daily basis, and am proud to say this is CANADA.

I've been using the post office downtown park and oulette as of late and I'm absolutely appaled at the behavior of one of the employees. Lady, take a chill pill and stop yelling at people! You are in a service position, and you just had a 4 day weekend, I dont care if they didn't seal their envelope or if you dont know how long it will take for the letter to get there! It made me very uncomfortable hearing you talk like that to customers, For someone in an industry that isn't exactly thriving that is not a healthy attitude for anyone to have, seriously learn a little patience and respect.
Well my cousin and i just had in the unfortunate experience of bad customer service at subway. We went out to eat for dinner and decided to go sit in subway so they get a chance to eat in a public setting.. I think they are pretty well behaved for the most part but yes they have a volume that tends to fluctuate and we were quick to remind them to keep their voices down and not laugh too loud (and yes there was a time out issued) in an EMPTY and i stress EMPTY subway.. there were from the 2 people who came in to order and left with their fast food (the kids were completely quite at this time as they had food stuffed in their mouths). My little cousin slipped and fell and started crying as we were leaving and they sent out the new girl who had already messed up my order twice to tell us to stop making so much noise as they have received 4 complaints already.... Clearly we were both dumbfounded as the store is EMPTY!!!! Im tired of people expecting toddlers to act like adults, when even some adults have trouble keeping their composer and or laughter to themselves. I think If there were complaints, they should have been addressed BEFORE we were leaving so we could have tried to rectify what they believe to be too loud or left all together.. I'm at a loss as to where to bring my kid to eat..aside from mcdonalds play place. How are they or any kid supposed to learn how to eat in public if they are shunned and asked to leave the second their voice goes up or they cry. And did I mention the place was EMPTY?!!! I wish there were restaurants who are more tolerant of young children. Maybe someone should make a toddler training restaurant so all the parents can eat and not worry if their kid drops a fry or has a meltdown cuz they cant eat the napkin or have 3 forks. I know kids can be awesome at home but out in public its distracting and different so they can act a little different and the point to to take them out is so they have the chance to learn what is acceptable and how to focus on their food and ignore distractions that come with public meals. Im very frustrated with service and am finding it hard to take my child out for a nice meal with out getting this infant/ toddler stigma as soon as we walk in the door. Anyone know where to take a couple of toddlers who have good manners and volume glitches?
To the woman who decided to cut my bf who was driving the Gold Van with your Silver Honda because you were to impatient to wait for your turn to merge you have been spotted. You ran him into oncoming traffic and when he honked shot your hand up like it wasn't your fault. Had my child been in that car you would've hit where his seat is. Yes that was me in the green intrepid who shot you the finger because of your ignorance. Next time you're in a merge and you don't have a continuing road, slow down and wait your turn and not run people into oncoming traffic.
This happened on Thursday April. 17 2014, just so if the person sees this know exactly when it happened.
Also stay off of your phone and when driving quit paying attention so much to your phone, save another driver the headache from your stupidity. You must've gotten your licence out of a cracker barrel box.
I was in downtown McDonalds around 8-8:30 PM, April 22nd. I was sitting with my two cousins enjoying a meal when some little brats came in to cause trouble.
There was an international University Student from Asia enjoying a meal alone killing time until his greyhound came (we asked him later on what the situation was).As he was sitting there some group of little punks took his food and ran out. When i looked over hearing some kind of ruckus, i had seen the horror on his face and immediately got up and looked around for the kids after putting two and two together. they had disappeared so i went to talk to the manager at McDonalds explaining to him what happened and he immediately replaced his burger.
I hate myself every second since it happened by not being able to see the situation sooner and say something. He did not deserve it whatsoever.
Its horrifying to think there are these types of people out there who take advantage of innocent people. The guy came to Canada in hopes for a better education and this is how he gets treated, leaving a sour taste of Windsor for him. Its a disgrace...
We talked to him after, he was a sincere guy just minding his own business and he said he hated it here because that happened to him. I hope that he gets another chance to see that not all people in Windsor and Canada are as terrible as those nasty kids.
Im keeping an eye out for those kids, they were about 13-15 im assuming. I hope they get bit with bad karma.
