Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings in the wonderful city of Windsor
A few days ago I was at TD bank on Rankin and there was a line to see the teller (3 people in front of me). I had my 5 year old, and a sick baby (he was undressed and wrapped in a blanket due to a potty accident in the car) but I really needed to do this before the bank closed. The Elderly gentleman in the front of the line walked over and offered to trade me spots so I could go next. I asked the other 2 people if they minded, they said "No go ahead", and i got my banking done quickly. I really appericate you letting me cut, and the 2 others in line wouldn't let the elderly gentleman take my spot, they insisted he stay in his place in the front of the line. This little kindness went a long away and I am publicly thank you 3!

To the gentleman who got out of the Orange Dodge Journey today at Howard & Tecumseh around 11:15 this morning, you've been spotted. You've definitely restored my faith in humanity after seeing you get out of your car at the light to help an elderly gentleman in a wheelchair who was stuck trying to get over to the Tim Hortons. It's nice to know that some people are still compassionate enough to go out of their way to help someone in need.
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?
My kid was in a badminton tournament at the University and I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all the organizers and helpers. My kid had a fun time and I had a fun time watching. It was very organized. Thank you for the parent who took pictures of my daughter because I forgot my camera. Also thank you to the leadership student in the yellow and grey, who saw my kid was short a dollar for a drink and pay for it.
Sincerely a parent that just wanted to say thank you
Thank you to whomever was riding the westbound 1c @ 2:30pm leaving Forest Glade & was honest enough to hand in my husband's cell phone. He didn't realize he had dropped it until he got into the house. I called to suspend the service, report it to Transit Windsor and panic thinking we wouldn't get it back lol
Thank you for your honesty and integrity, you have been spotted :)
I want to say thank you again to the Ottawa 4 bus driver that was driving the bus around 6 from the bus terminal going eastbound on April 23. I got on the bus at 5:57 pm at Ouellete and Wyandotte and my 3 year old daughter was tried and crying. He asked what was wrong and tried to cheer her up. Then ask where I was going and grabbed his phone and put on frozen for her to watch until we got to our stop. When we did get off he asked if he could give her candy, and then gave her one. Thank you again she was quite the whole way home and wasn't crying the whole time. Thank you, you took the time to see her happy.

I know our ER rooms don't get a lot of appreciation. I want to thank the Nurse practioner Lourdes and the nurse that assisted her today. I had to have a procedure done at Met ER this morning and I was in so much pain and scared. By the grace of God I got these two angels to help me. Such efficiency and kindness. Thank you so much ..you have been spotted!
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.
