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 :)

People begging for money..I used to give and now I try to avoid because we all weren't born rich and all have to work for our money..and sometimes the people asking for money have all day to sit around with their signs and are better dressed than myself which is the reason I stopped handing anyone $..anyhow this morning at 6:30am (on my way to work) on the corner of I believe crawford and univeristy a middle aged guy waved me down..(i was stopped at a red light or else i would've drove off being a young 30 yr old woman and also you never know nowadays what someone is capable of)..so yeah, i unrolled my window a smidge and offcourse he was asking for $ , had a whole sob story saying he was fropm essex and needed to get a bus home..ok whatever true or not i wouldn't go anywhere away from home without a penny..sooo i was like ok i will quickly check(i do still have a heart), well then he was like you know a $20 would be good! I was like excuse me , or a $5..beggers can't be picky.(.and I have 2 little babies at home..the $ that I go make I use for my children(diapers, formula, clothes, etc)..I said no not 20, i will see what I have, and gave him as much change i could quickly grab and he took it and started counting ...his first story was hes from essex has no $ has to get a bus, then when he asked for a specific amount of $ he also said you know I could get a coffee as well!!.....What the heck, I was trying to be a nice person and to have someone take $ count it and then say well that won't get me too far!!!! wow!! I said well you know it is something i didn't have to give you anything..count your blessings..he went off saying well i guess its better than nothing!!!! Shake my head at you..after that now I think you were for sure lying and probably needed that $ for something else (alcohol, drugs, etc)with that rotten attitude! Be thankful for what anyone will give you, because they definetly do NOT have to.!

Saw this at Mcdonald's drive thru. You couldn't drive up a bit to throw it in the garbage? Or wait till you get home and throw it in the garbage? Don't be lazy and inconsiderate and pick up after yourself.
