Buckets & Bouquets

Bouquets to Luke for his understanding when I hit his car in Dare St, Ocean Grove. I hope karma rides on the dashboard of his new car.
Glenn, Murrumbeena

Buckets to Friends and Neighbours (Buckets & Bouquets, 22 August). Fancy sticking your beaks into what read as simply none of your business. Gee, I’m happy you’re not my neighbours or friends. Go knit scarves instead.
Ray, Newtown

Bouquets to Coles Geelong West’s Denise. She is always smiling and friendly. Denise’s customer service and people skills are a credit to her.
Happy Customer, Hamlyn Heights

Bouquets to the staff at CBA Corio. Sally, Tara and Eddy are always consummate professionals. Working in a difficult environment like banking can be a challenge but they go beyond the call of duty daily for customers. They are always smiling and I appreciate their professionalism.
Just A Customer, Corio

Bouquets to the staff at Ross McDonald Motors. I booked for a wheel rotation, which was completed in half an hour while I waited before my keys were returned with a smile. The outstanding service has never wavered over the many years I have been a client.
Grateful Customer, Belmont

Buckets to tradies with loud radios. Do they consider that a mother with a newborn or someone seriously ill might be nearby? No, it’s mind over matter – they don’t mind and no one else matters.
Bad For Business, Portarlington

Buckets to the owners of the large dog that fell off the back of a ute on Roberts Rd (Buckets & Bouquets, 29 August). They should be charged and locked up. Someone should do the same to them to see whether they like being dragged along the road.
Scott, South Geelong

Buckets to selfish people who buy coffee and food from one café then go sit at the chairs and tables of another. Not only do they leave their rubbish behind they didn’t even patronise the business. They take chairs from paying customers and become abusive when asked to leave.
Nola, North Geelong

Bouquets to the kind, honest person who handed my wallet in at Geelong Police Station after it fell out of my pram. I’ve lived in Geelong for only a week, so I confidently give this city a big tick and wish good karma to its residents.
Sally Edge, Geelong West

Buckets to the filthy pig who did an enormous poo beside a walking path through sand dunes at White’s Beach. Your vile act only came to my attention when I discovered my dog licking it. Hopefully your apparently limited supply of toilet paper left you in a smelly mess.
Disgusted, Torquay
