Thumbs up, thumbs down 20/02/2025

by Lakes Post
20 February 2025
in Local News

THUMBS UP: To the wonderful young girl who when seeing us, an elderly couple walking towards a door this girl was to walk out of, decided to hold it open for us. This girl’s aim was to assist us and that is exactly what happened. It happened through her bracing her feet and pushing her back into the door to keep it open long enough for us to enter. Amazing kindness.

THUMBS UP: A special thank you to the two girls and their dad who rescued my dog Reuben when he panicked and ran away during the recent thunderstorm. Your kindness and care is greatly appreciated.

THUMBS DOWN: To the bad drivers that don’t even bother to stop at Ligar Street or properly give way at other road users and pedestrians by not looking both directions. There are cars coming out of driveways or people crossing the road or highway. You must come to a complete stop at a stop sign before the stop line. And THUMBS DOWN to the authority for not fixing the issue were the stop sign was placed in the incorrect spot.

THUMBS UP: To Cooper for finding my friend’s mobile phone. Your honesty was very much appreciated.

THUMBS UP: Thank you to the diverse group of kind young men who helped me when I had a fall on Short Street recently.

THUMBS DOWN: To the person who allowed their dog to use my front yard as a toilet. It is not your dog’s recreation ground, it’s private property.

THUMBS DOWN: What is it with taxi services. Excuses when not arriving at booked times: put wrong address number in, forgot you, rudeness with “phone another taxi”. Thanks to disgraceful services, appointments have been missed.
