Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
I've been reading all this wonderful " pay it forward" story's and never thought it would happen to me. Today around 3 at subway on ouellette , I went to go pay for my sub and the guy in front of me payed for it without me knowing.. I was Shocked I didn't even know what to do! I just wanted to thank the guy who payed for my sub once again! When I thanked him he said " it's not everyday someone pays for your sub at subway" thanks so much! You made my day go from just an okay day to great just by what you did! I smiled all the way home! I will be paying it forward !!

To the dollaramma employee on walker road who ran out in this cold snowy weather too return my debit card cause I left it in the machine. You've been spotted!! Thank you!

Ironic that Great Lakes Safety's sidewalk (Neon Green building on Walker Road) is not cleared. I saw a couple of people struggle to walk across the ice and snow covered sidewalk today. For a company that is based upon selling safety products, it's sad that they don't take the time to clear the sidewalk so that people can SAFELY walk in front of the business.
Just a friendly reminder to all Windsor drivers and pedestrians that THIS is called a STOP SIGN, where drivers, bicycles and pedestrians are required by law to STOP and look around them. Waiting for a bus on Essex way and Meadowbrook lane, I watched 12 cars, 2 bicycles, 1 e-bike and 1 person (walking their dog) pass through this intersection, and only 3 cars (and the dog) came to a complete stop. Everyone else sped through or slowed slightly but continued through. As a pedestrian it is terrifying to be standing at an intersection waiting to cross and cars continuously pass without even noticing I'm there, or choosing to ignore my right of way.
Thank you to the driver of the lauzon 10 today on bus number 562 for remembering I have a bus pass when I forgot it and not making me pay and giving me a transfer. Turns out there are still good drivers out there!
Thanks Jill @ JYSK!
Just a simple (3) for (3) basket return
I just wanted to say thank-you to this very concerned cashier. Only a manager of hers could OK the return and when both were indisposed of (and probably rightfully entitled to that time). After a while she recognized the simplicity of avoiding a disgruntled customer in front of her, a line-up of disgruntled customers behind me, took initiative, made a decision. Physically went to look for him/ her. Now I don't feel the need to overtly criticize the company who hired such a gem. Something as simple as time, often translates to something called respect. Thank you for giving me that respect. Hold yourself in high-regard, I do.
PS: Please say thank you to the gentleman who opened the other register so that the other customers wouldn't lose their respect also.
Basket-lady
The Snow Angels Program at the City of Windsor is in dire need of volunteers. The program aims to assist the elderly and disabled residents in the city clear the snow from the sidewalks surrounding their property. Any additional shovelling by volunteers is always welcome, but not required. If you or anyone you know may be interested in registering for the program please call 311 or go to the 311 online website to register. All registered and active volunteers will be entered into a draw to win a free I Pad or 1 of 5 full year memberships to the new Adventure Bay Waterpark. There is a police clearance requirement, as the volunteers are working with the vulnerable sector. The cost for this will be reimbursed by the city. Thank you for taking the time to consider.

My son came home today and told me an amazing story so I decided to share. Hoping the couple who helped him sees this and knows how grateful I am.
My son was at Walmart shopping for somethings for his apartment. He got into the line to pay for all the items in his cart. When he tried using his debit card it just wouldn't approve and they kept trying. His bank was CIBC and he was near it already. He asked the cashier to just set them aside and he will be back shortly. He had bed sheets, kitchenware and other household things. Total was close to $210. The couple behind him said they would pay for it just so he could get his stuff out to his car and then go with him to the bank. They paid for it and he got everything into his truck and went to the bank. The couple didn't make him stay with them to make sure they didn't get ripped off. They paid for their items and then made there way after him to the CIBC. They waited for him to come out and he gave them the cash and fixed his card issue. Very trusting and its nice to see that they had no regrets because my son didn't cheat them. I'm glad to see there is some trust in humanity again. I hope nothing happens that makes you not believe in people anymore and thank you for helping my son. You have been spotted!
