Rotten tomatoes to certain owners on a certain street in Cloverdale. Newsflash - your garages are big enough for parking two cars. Get rid of all your useless, hoarded junk and park in them. Can you imagine not having to worry about finding a parking spot when you get home? It is possible if you clean out your garage and park in it! Duh!

Rotten, moldy tomatoes to whoever cut up all our Christmas lights - you are so pathetic and sick. What was accomplished by doing such a malicious act? I hope you're proud. We work hard for what we own - you obviously do not. You destroy people's property and steal. Get a life and a job. Next time, smile for the camera - you will be caught. I suggest you get help.

Rotten tomatoes to all restaurants who are adding a service charge to their bills. Watch carefully, it states food, service, and HST. If you add a tip on top of the bill, I believe you are tipping twice. If service is satisfactory, I will tip your organization.

Roses to the Fortis technician and the gas fitter who worked on Christmas Eve to prevent a potential disaster due to a dangerous gas leak at our home.

Rotten tomatoes to those who re-gift. What makes you think I want your junk? Besides, I cannot re-re-gift it because everyone will know that I don't give gifts like that!

Tons of roses to the people who donate time and money to help save S.A.R.A. and all the dogs and cats that need homes. Pet lovers, let's help keep S.A.R.A. going!

A store full of rotten tomatoes to a certain second-hand store, you know who you are. If I had known how severe your return policies were, and how you treat your senior citizens, I never would have shopped there from the beginning.

People, be wary of where you shop and who you donate to. A 60,000 square-foot gaming floor of rotten tomatoes to the developers and Gateway for bullying their way into my neighbourhood and wanting to ruin the pristine land on the Semiahmoo Peninsula. There are plenty of overdeveloped and destroyed areas in Surrey to build your monster casino! Your development will irreparably change South Surrey - and not for the better, with increased traffic, noise, light pollution and riff-raff!

A car load of rotten tomatoes to the driver who sideswiped my front driver's side fender in the parking lot off Fraser Highway and 188th on Dec. 24.

Roses to my special little best friend. Olive juice.

A huge pile of vile stinking tomatoes to the person who kicked over and smashed the memorial plants for Kassandra Kaulius at 152nd Street and 64th Avenue. You're a pathetic little creature, lower than horse manure because you desecrated her memory.

Rotten tomatoes to people who drive in the rain without their headlights on.
