Rotten tomatoes to the impatient driver who honked at me when I was about to make a right turn at a red light. I am an "L" driver. You had no right to do that to me - you are just an ignorant, pathetic and disrespectful driver! Go back to driving school and learn about sharing the road!

A bouquet of roses to the lovely couple Laurentina and Shane for taking the time and effort to return our Nexus cards. We appreciate your gesture and can't thank you enough. It reminded us how a good deed can be infectious and am sure nature will reciprocate your kindness.

Rotten tomatoes to the hysteric who wrote about pets in stores. Where are all these pets "wandering" around? I've never seen one. Why don't you worry about something that's actually happening? From a person with allergies.

A truck full of roses for the kind gentleman in Guildford who fixed my broken windshield wiper on a cold and miserable day last month. It's nice to see there are still Good Samaritans out there who are willing to help someone in need. Thanks for all your help.

Rotten tomatoes to dog owners who allow their dogs to pee on everyone's garbage cans, recycling boxes and recycling bags after pickup. Do you think we want to pick up our container and have dog pee on us?

Rotten tomatoes filled with seeds of shame to the couple and their friend for lying and trying to cheat our public auto insurer, and for not taking responsibility for their actions. Really nothing to be proud of. Shame, shame, shame.

Dozens of red roses to the young man who helped pick me up when I fell and did a face plant on the sidewalk in North Delta. Your kindness and attention to detail were astounding and your caring attitude was really appreciated. You proved that there are great young people in our neighbourhood.

Roses to the 911 gal, two firemen from Station 10 Newton, paramedics and all of the Surrey Memorial staff who attended my husband on Feb 19. Dozens of roses and heartfelt thanks to the very kind lady who drove us to stall 104 when we were lost in the parkade.

A bushel of beautiful roses to the family who runs the Greyhound parcel depot in Newton. I usually only go there at Christmastime and the gentleman in charge is always pleasant - even with an hour lineup, he is calm and graceful under pressure. I commend you sir!

Rotten tomatoes to the drug dealers and drug buyers who frequent 79th Avenue and the corner of 125th to sell and buy their drugs. We don't want it in our neighbourhood - take it to your own. Notice: you are being watched, you are being recorded and we have your plate numbers and car makes and models.

A barrel full of rotten tomatoes to the person who throws their dirty doggie bags at the mailboxes on 78th Avenue and 168th Street. You know who you are, so clean it up.

A gymnasium full of rotten tomatoes to those teachers who cannot think beyond their own noses and who bully and harass support staff. Treating people with disrespect does not get you respect. Wait a minute... is this not what is supposed to be taught to children? It is very scary that these kinds of people are teaching our children.
