Christmas baskets of rotten tomatoes to people who leave their lights up all year. Just because they are small, don't think they can't be seen. They make your house look junky. If you don't want to take them down after the season, here is a better idea: don't put them up in the first place.

Roses to the Surrey Animal Resource Centre for the fun and honest descriptions of their adoptable dogs on Petfinder. I check them often and may be visiting you soon.

Rotten tomatoes to the lady who sideswiped my truck while it was parked in front of my house last week. She stopped to pick up her mirror, and look at the damage to my truck. Video surveillance is a wonderful thing. Have a nice day, ma'am!

Rotten tomatoes to the parent who did not having any control over her screaming child on the 323 Newton Exchange bus. If your child is going to throw a tantrum on a bus, please stay home. Show some respect!

Cancer-filled rotten tomatoes to the smokers at Surrey Memorial Hospital who continue to smoke right under the signs that say "no smoking on this property." Are you stupid or just ignorant?

Rotten tomatoes to the person who throws dirty doggie bags away at 167th Street and 84th Avenue. Shame on you. I always pick it up every garbage day. If you own a dog why don't you put it in your own garbage? Don't own a pet if you can't take care of it!

Rotten tomatoes go out to the ignorant punk on the SkyTrain who told the elderly woman to tell me off just because I had my bags on a free seat. People like you are very immature - stop butting in, stay out of it and worry about your own problems!

Rotten tomatoes to all the people out there who seem to live for negative, attention-getting drama and for making life difficult for others. Time to put on your big-girl panties and deal with life.
