Dedicated to the general sights, news and funny happenings all around the world
I understand that people can be frustrated at times driving in the city but the middle aged bald man in the black dodge ram pickup truck this morning was the worst I've ever encountered. I take the same route every day so I know the red lights, pot holes etc. I take Central over the EC overpass, turn right on Deziel Road and left on Mannehim towards St. Etienne Blvd. He was following so closely that I was afraid to touch my brakes. I made sure not to antagonize him farther so I drove slightly above the speed limit. On St. Etienne Blvd he drove beside me very aggressively and veering towards me as to scare me. He sped off in front of me. Moments later I am behind him at the traffic light on Walker and Foster. He then gets out of his truck comes to my window and is swearing and yelling at me for "brake checking" him. Almost comical but his anger was palpable. He then proceeds to drive beside me on Walker, revving his engine and coming over the yellow line towards me. I watched him pull into the Windsor Airport but I wasn't comfortable approaching him. I didn't get a clear pic of his licence plate because I was shaking too much. Was it worth it sir? How dong did it take your heart rate to get back to normal?
I am just your average Caucasian middle aged woman, been driving accident free since 1980 when I got my licence. I have noticed lately that drivers are getting more and more aggressive lately. What's going on? Any ideas ? What can we do to alleviate this to make the roads a safer place to be?
To the driver hauling brush on the expressway this morning around 10:25 am. You sir / madam, need to learn the necessity of securing your load! I don't know how that piece of tree managed to come off of your truck and land in the middle of the westbound Lane! The traffic was extremely heavy and the drivers around me had to slam on their brakes and swerve to miss other cars that were trying to miss that piece of tree. Thank you to all the drivers around meith quick reflexes that were paying attention. Thank you to the gentleman that got out of his pickup truck behind me, after almost rear-ending me, to pull that piece of tree off the road. This could have been the worst Monday morning for many people. To the driver again, you should consider yourself very lucky that you are not being held responsible for several injuries and possible deaths this morning. I hope you see this post and understand the gravity of your error. Do better!!
Thank you very much to the kind woman at the corner ow manning and 42 who gave me her hitch pin without a second thought after somehow my lockable one came apart and wiggled its way out. Your kindness will not go unnoticed and I will pay it forward. You have been spotted!!!
On Sept 19 we were at Hotel Dieu Hospital and witnessed a woman trying to take a wheelchair away from a volunteer. They are only allotted so many for the fifth floor to take patients down to the exit after a procedure. This woman eventually forced he wheelchair away from the volunteer then brought it back several hours later and tried to apologize. I hope she sees this as she was extremely rude and selfish.
Thank you so much to the lady in front of us at Tim Hortons this morning. We were in the drive thru and my kids always ask if we can pay for the people behind us. We usually do but today when we drove up to the Window we had a surprise. The person ahead of us paid for our order, and I'll tell you that was totally unexpected. My order was just over 12 dollars and I couldn't believe someone paid for it. I gave the cashier the money I was going to pay for my order and the next order and had her use it on the next few orders. Thank you so much for adding that much more excitement to our Tim Hortons visit.
Today at our restaurant,Michigan Diner on Tecumseh and Lauzon, this amazing and adorable gentleman, gave one of our servers $100 bill to pay for the meals of other costumers, and the others paid it forward all day long, it was amazing to witness this kindness and generosity, bless your beautiful soul,Sir!!!
I had a car accident on Buckingham today where I was 100% at fault. Although I sustained minor injuries, the care I received from EMS and surrounding neighbors were gracious & compassionate! One neighbour provided me with a bottle water. Another walking by was the first on the scene and made sure I was alright! I wish I had gotten your names. A gentleman (Al) from the area called police and ambulance on my behalf. He helped my daughter empty personal belongings from my vehicle and provided us with a ride home afterwards. The owner of the vehicle I hit was calm & showed concern for my wellbeing! EMS gave me excellent care (blood pressure & EKG) All results were clear! I sustained minor injuries to my sternum! I am grateful to you all. Your help and concerns eased my shell shocked nerves which kept me calm and free from distress! Thank you my neighbouring Windsorites!
Yesterday morning I was heading south on Gladstone and there was a school bus on Erie stopped right before the intersection with doors open and flashers on. I stayed at the stop sign even though I was proceeding straight ahead until the bus finished loading. Was that the proper thing to do?apparently not according to the cars behind me but I feel that the safety of children is more important than rushing somewhere. What's the law there? I have no idea.
