Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
A man came to the door and wanted to come in and check our water main. He said they are checking the neighbourhood because of elevated water levels. He makes it sound like he is with the city but his badge says EcoGlobal and they try to sell you air conditioners and water heaters.
When I said that I wasnt letting him in he said,"if you think i am too scary then maybe i can come back when your husband is home".
I said that we don't let anyone in who we don't have a contract with and he again started spouting about the water and the danger...
That's when I just shut the door. But because he did not identify who he worked for or what he was really doing there, I could see someone letting him in thinking he was from the city or Enwin.
So be warned!
Has anyone in the east end/ Riverside area noticed their tap water smelling really weird these past few days? I have never noticed an odour before, but it's pretty bad and I wanted to know if anyone else has noticed.
To the woman in the older pacifica who was on her cell phone and almost hit me and my 14 month son who was in a bright red stroller at 752 p on 3/ 14/ 16, the white walking sign shows that it's safe for me to walk not you to ignore. I wish I would have gotten your plate. That is the same intersection that 2 people have already been seriously injured. I stand 6'1 and was wearing a bright red red wings hat, not like I was hiding. I hope you realize who you are and your ignorance, you could have seriously injured me and my son.
This morning I, along with many of my neighbors were awoken to very loud music with a lot of bass all thanks to 3 young ladies who decided it was fun and cool to open all the doors on their older model dark blue or black Ford Escape and blast their music at 5:30am!!!!! They were out there changing their clothes and laughing while jamming to their blasting music without a care to all the neighbors sleeping, some with sleeping babies, some who just finally fell asleep after a long shift at work, some who had one two more hours of sleep before going to work or school. No consideration at all!! I'm not sure who these young ladies were as this was not a vehicle known to anyone on my street and the girls were not recognizable. I just want to let these ladies know that it is not cool and no one was impressed. Shame on you!!!
This morning at the Walker & 42 Tim Hortons on Airport, I witnessed a school bus with signals flashing and stop sign extended- and several drivers making right turns out of the parking lot proceeding to turn! That driver absolutely had the right to take your plate number and make sure you are sent a ticket and if I had a better view I would have done it myself. No excuse. It only takes a minute to wait for a school bus !
To the (insert descriptive) in the white car at huron and university at 11:15 Monday p.m. ....you were heading west and wanting to turn left at the green light guess what??! it was also a green for me crossing the street!!! I paused to make sure you weren't going to turn in front of me...you slowed, then sped into the turn....actually fishtailed to avoid hitting me once you noticed.
Drivers in this city need to remember they're not the only 'things' on the road!!!
Sunday March 6 @ 1130am approx
I was sitting in the Cora's parking lot late Sunday morning waiting for my friend to have breakfast when I heard a loud sound from behind me. As I looked in my rear view mirror I seen a grey truck drive by slowly with a male driver inside. I figured this guy ran over a chunk of ice from the sound, but as I turned back to look I saw this parked car with a freshly torn off front bumper! Beside this car was two empty spaces where this truck had pulled through and cut the corner way too sharp resulting in him damaging this grey(I believe) car. flabbergasted I was in shock that the guy not only didn't stop nor look but kept on going! Appalled at what I had seen I was afraid to have my vehicle parked in the lot for any longer, this lot is very tight but for someone to cream a car and walk away is utterly rediculous!
I didn't want this to go silent so be forewarned when parking in that lot, because apparently the driver treats it as a auto wreaking yard!
sincerely,
a very annoyed lady
To the woman in the black sports car today ( Friday, March 4th) that was heading toward county road 42 on Manning at around 4:45 pm, I wish to say this: Please seek help for yourself. You decided to pass 4 cars with not enough room to do so, placing you head on in my lane. Had I looked down, been distracted or something else, you would have surely killed me, if not my beautiful 3 kids in the back seat and my 3 sweet dogs in the back. I thank God that He did not make me a panicky person bc had I hit the shoulder I would have rolled our suv, as the shoulder there is very soft.
You were close enough to my car that if I reached out I could have touched your car. I laid on the brakes as hard as I could, prayed and pressed on the horn as if my life depended on it. What did you choose to do in that moment? Laugh! You were visibly laughing and carrying on as if you were having a great time.
Well, glad one of us was. Had I not braked, I would be dead. Since you find reckless behaviour funny, I pray you get help. I also thank you for throwing my fibromyalgia into full attack mode. Should make for a fun weekend. Please , stop your behaviour before you kill someone or yourself. This is not the legacy you want to leave behind.
