Buckets and bouquets

Buckets to the person who stole roses and other plants from my garden. They were gifts to me from my daughter over many years. I am disappointed at your low act. May they never grow for you.
Ready For You Next Time, Geelong West.

Buckets to Disgusted Driver (Buckets & Bouquets, 28 March). 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

Buckets to a carpet cleaner for telling me my rugs were “dirty”. He falsely advertised helpful, friendly, courteous and thorough service. Bouquets to Carpet Cleaning Service Ocean Grove’s Graham Coastes for delivering on the other cleaner’s claims without advertising them.
Margaret, Ocean Grove

Buckets to a foul-mouthed elderly man for telling me to get you-know-what on 6 April. I tooted to tell you I was behind you when you stopped dead on the street. Then you turned left without indicating and told me to “Get f….d”. Learn your road rules.
Kathy, Leopold

Buckets to people working on revegetation for abusing and threatening my husband and I because we were walking our dogs. We felt very threatened. We were appalled at your behaviour. The park is for everyone, not just environmentalists. We have a mind to report you to City of Greater Geelong.
Extremely Peeved, Bell Park

Buckets to the Independent. As a previously loyal reader, I’m already sick of seeing hairy lair Darryn Lyons (Independent, 11 April). In this case you can have too much of a good thing. However, I do like the look of deputy mayor Mr Normal, who appears to be a giver.
Give ‘Em Substance, Anglesea

Buckets to the low-life who stole our son’s love birds on 4 April. They were his 13th birthday present. He lost his best friend, our 15-year-old dog, to cancer on 14 March. We had hoped the birds would help him overcome his pain. Now he is one angry teenager.
Angry Parents, Corio

Buckets to Grow A Brain (Buckets & Bouquets, 11 April) for criticising a motorcyclist’s riding but then suggesting the rider should take up skydiving with potentially fatal consequences. Is the rider’s safety really your concern or is it you who should really grow a brain?
Got A Brain, East Geelong

Bouquets to a lady who discovered an insect caught in her hair at a café on the weekend. It was the best laugh we’ve had for ages, although you didn’t have to stamp on the poor bug so vigorously.
Family On Another Table, Highton
