Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
At a street light near Huron Line and Techumseh vehicles were totally ignoring the pedestrians that had the right away when the vehicles had a green light. They were hovering on the median trying to step out and keep walking but cars turning left kept holding them back. I was waiting to turn right but was waiting for the people to cross. So, I assume the people driving thought I was letting them have the right away. Um. No. I was waiting and pointing at the people who were getting cut off!
I don't walk anywhere, I love my car so I am not biased on my opinion. Pay attention people! This isn't all about you! Follow the rules of the road and respect everyone travelling. It isn't that hard.
Spotted: a customer who thought must be so miserable about her own life that she has to put others down, specifically a worker who was only trying to help. Just because you didn't like what you were told and didn't save the dollar you expected doesn't give you the right to tell someone to go to hell. Shame on you and anyone else who treats workers or anyone for that matter badly. There is a way to communicate concerns/ problems and shame on anyone who feels they have the right to put them down. Perhaps you should try to work in retail for a day and maybe you would learn to have a lot more understanding, patience and respect for yourself and others.
There's a sidewalk to run on, why are you running on the road with traffic? Please tell me why you are risking your life to run on the road, without seeing the cars coming at you. The logic defies me.
On Monday night around 8:45pm I heard a quiet knock at my door. When I answered I was very surprised to see a middle aged woman from the Kidney Foundation asking for donations. I respect the need to fundraise for worthy charities however women walking the streets alone in the dark knocking on doors doesn't seem like the right way to do it.
She must have sensed my disappointment and upset because she said she was just doing her job when I politely said that I was not interested in donating.
I am sorry for making her feel as though she needed to defend her actions, however knocking on doors that late in the evening to ask for money is not only dangerous but its unsettling for the person hearing the knock.
Kidney Foundation - You've been spotted for putting the safety of your volunteers/ employees at risk!
Who do I call to report a car who keeps parking on my street? He lives a block over; has his own driveway, his own street AND an alleyway to park and yet he takes up a spot on my street! (forcing some unlucky person who LIVES ON THIS STREET to park elsewhere)
To the guy at Malden park on March 23rd who had the dog with a bell on its collar running free... Leashes are the law. You were nowhere to be seen and your dog was running around the park. There are families with small kids in there who may not be used to dogs. I am not saying that the dog would attack but I was always taught not to trust strange animals. I think the worst part of all of this was what you did when you called to your dog multiple times with your whistle...Yes it did take your dog a bit to find you as it wasn't near you on its leash, but that was no excuse to whip your FAITHFUL companion numerous times with its own leash that (gasp!) you actually had on your person. My kids sat there and watched you whip this dog until it whimpered in pain. Shame on you. You don't deserve to own an animal if you treat it that way. In my book that is abuse plain and simple. There are better ways to train your dog...
Anyone else finding that the parking spots at the new Texas Grill on Walker are ...a little narrow? And by little, I really mean if someone parks close to the line there's no way you can park in the spot next to it. Well, you can but you can't get out easily- and if you have kids forget it!
I drove around the lot three times today, pulling into two of two open spots- pulling back out and parking in the Canadian Tire lot instead!
I don't have a large vehicle! I would rather park far away then have someone ding my car just trying to get into their car.
Hoping I'm not alone. I'm definitely going to email the business and I hope others do the same if they feel the same way!
My dad recently had an infection for which he needed antibiotics. When he had a mild reaction to them (although he's never had one before), we had to go to a pharmacy to get a new prescription.
The pharmacist couldn't just change them, and we had to go to a walk in clinic. An "urgent care" center on Huron Church was recommended to us.
It was still open when we got there to see the doctor, but when we got in and got in line an older woman came out from the other side of the counter while the younger receptionist was talking to a pair of women in front of us and said, gesturing toward the door "After you two that's it... we're not letting any more people in".
Now, this place wasn't terribly crowded, and the "open" sign was still on when we got there. The receptionist had told me over the phone when I called just previously to not be long because they "might be closing soon".
That was fine I thought, and we were there within ten minutes.
Why this shrew felt it necessary to tell my dad and I this I have no idea. Is she so inept she can't lock the door or put up an indicator showing that they're no longer open herself?
It seemed to me to be really just a way for her to possibly work out her frustrations, whatever they were. The place wasn't terribly crowded, and I can understand if you want to close, but why not just do that instead of finding a very snarky way to tell us you'd have preferred if we hadn't showed up.
This woman is UN-professional, and quite rude. It really was quite a classless thing to do I thought. There's no other, and no better way to put it.
I run into plenty of very nice people in this city, and occasionally some who go out of their way to be nice to others. I'm looking forward to being able to post that. Actually I have a story like that and I'll be sharing it after this one... this just wasn't that one :)
