abusive language To people who are fooled into thinking bug zappers are good based on clever commercials. All flying insects are attracted to them, not just those you don't want. Insects are a huge part of the web of life, and they all need to work together in harmony to maintain an ecosystem. Use screens or natural deterrents.
rave For organizations that allow you to proactively opt out of Mother's Day and other potentially triggering holiday-related emails. This simple gesture goes a long way.
abusive language When you wake up in the morning, there's a sign posted on your front door saying there's sewer construction going on down the street, so don't use public facilities all day. I was even more disappointed because that day was also the preparation day for my colonoscopy. Hmm.
rave To Crest Cinema and its customers. While I was at the theater, my key somehow broke and my car wouldn't start. Huge kudos not only to the two customers who went home to retrieve the tools, but also to the theater manager who retrieved the tools and saved me from towing and repairing. And they also refused tips. Everyone just expressed their gratitude and said it was the appropriate thing to do. I salute you all.
abusive language Proceed to the confusing Mont Lake exit sign on 520 West in the already very dangerous and difficult 520 Mont Lake lid construction zone.
rave To the two cyclists who slowed down so I could cross the Burrard Bridge the other morning. As a runner, I know our sport can be divisive at times, but I appreciated the kindness of not having to stop running to get through.
abuse and praise He yells abuse at drivers boarding and disembarking from the Washington State Ferry. He has one thing to do. Just be careful and be prepared to hop on and off the ferry. Don't fall asleep, leave your lights on to drain your battery, or be so distracted by your cell phone that you don't notice that the car in front of you has started. Boats run on time.
rave Go to patient portal. My husband recently passed away and during his last months I was able to express her concerns to a doctor in Sweden on her husband's behalf. Thank you to all the nurses who took care of us both during a difficult time. Rest in peace, my darling.
abusive language For drivers who feel the need for speed. As a wise man once said, “There's more to life than speed.”
rave To the kind employees at Les Schwab Tire Center. I discovered that there was a bolt in the tire that was slowly reducing the pressure. I didn't have much time because I was leaving for vacation the next day. An employee said on the phone that she could be accommodated, even though the center had reached its maximum number of customers for the day. When I arrived, the employee told me he spent 10 minutes installing a temporary plug to stop the leak. Their generosity saved me from having a huge headache when I returned from vacation. thank you!
