Roses and Rotten Tomatoes (March 2, 2017)

A weekly collection of compliments and complaints sent in by readers

Roses

  • A big bucket of roses to the superior sales associate at Sport Chek who looked up Douglas College basketball tryouts for me. You’re amazing and I thank you so much for your kindness!
  • A huge bouquet of roses to all of the staff at Surrey Memorial Hospital. I want to thank each and every one who helped my husband when he was diagnosed with a brain bleed. You kept a close eye on him and kept him comfortable. Also, I am grateful for the ambulance staff who rushed to our house and didn’t take lightly the unexplainable pain he was experiencing. Thank you all for returning my husband to me!
  • A field of red roses to a man who restored my faith in humanity, Sukh Winder Gill who drives a cab for Delta Sunshine Cabs (Green Cab). On Feb. 17, I lost my wallet with all my credit cards, ID, and cash. This man, on his own time, came to my home and returned my wallet with everything in it. This man is a true credit to his company and I can’t thank him enough!
  • Roses to Rita P. for the countless hours she gives helping so many children with learning differences who often suffer in silence in school. She is a beautiful woman inside and out.

Rotten Tomatoes

  • Rotten tomatoes to the motor vehicle branch for issuing licences to people who clearly can’t drive. That’s why ICBC is losing money. These irresponsible people are driving up accident claims for sure. Also, the people at ICBC aren’t shy about giving themselves big raises either.
  • A dump truck full  of rotten tomatoes to the man who hit me on 108th Avenue at Oriole Drive and ran! What a rude and cowardly thing to do!
  • Rotten tomatoes to people who can’t take a compliment. Just because somebody says something nice to you out of the blue (ie. “I like the colour of your hair”) doesn’t mean they are hitting on you or being a creep. Maybe they are just trying to brighten your day with some positivity… People are much too cynical and mistrusting these days.
  • Rotten tomatoes to the annoying meteorologists who predict weather too far in advance. Can’t we just live in the moment for once?
  • Rotten tomatoes to the City of Surrey bylaw department for not addressing my fire/safety complaint about a wood-burning stove. The people didn’t install it to code in the garage and the house caught fire two days ago. Thanks for a failing complaint system.
