Buckets & Bouquets

BUCKETS to a young girl who left her wallet on the roof of her car at Bell Post Shopping Centre. I picked up the wallet and all its contents. When I handed it all in at the centre she stormed in and said, ‘That’s mine’ without even a thank you.
Ian, Bell Post Hill

BUCKETS to a woman in a charity store for disrespecting customers. When I was alone in the shop she came out of a back room and sprayed chemicals in front of me. I couldn’t breathe. My friend told me many customers dislike her.
Disappointed Customer, Geelong West

BUCKETS to people supporting someone who broke up a marriage, ruined a business and came between a parent and their children. After years the people still cannot see the person’s motives and manipulation. Money is not worth more than family.
Responsible Parent, Highton

BOUQUETS to Portarlington business people, the town’s community dance group and friends for their donations and support of a charity dance in memory of Daryl and others. The dance raised $3120 for cancer research through Relay for Life.
Lorraine, Andrew and Family, Portarlington

BUCKETS to David (Buckets & Bouquets, 27 March) for referring to bad grammar on traffic signs as the work of an “illiterate”, a word that is an adjective, not a noun. Please get it right. My favourite sign says, ‘Old people cross here’ at the McKellar Centre.
Aged Person, Hamlyn Heights

BUCKETS to gutter rats going around under cover of darkness destroying old people’s property. You are cowards. Karma will come your way.
Ready Next Time, Corio

BUCKETS to a schoolgirl who reached out to drop her rubbish in a bin near the intersection of Lt Malop and Moorabool Sts but missed. She was too lazy to take two steps to pick it up and try again.
Miss Piggy, East Geelong

BUCKETS to Disgusted Driver (Buckets & Bouquets, 27 March). Nose-picking might be a distraction from driving but so is watching other drivers pick their noses. Keep your eyes on the road. Police should crack down on rubbernecks like you.
Responsible Driver, Herne Hill

BUCKETS to Disgusted Driver. Mind your own business. Stop spying on other drivers. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones or pick their noses.
Nosy Picker, Grovedale
