I LOVE …
… co-workers kind enough to hold the elevator doors open for you instead of allowing the doors to close in your face.
— Paul Lockwood, Woodstock
… Chicagoans who cheerfully give directions to out-of-towners, even in rush hour.
— Kathleen Melia, Chicago
… the Bookbinder soup at the Cape Cod Room [in the Drake Hotel, 140 E. Walton Pl.]. Eating a bowl on a winter day by the window as the snow falls is THE BEST!
— Georgeana Riggio, Winnetka
I HATE …
… people who don’t pick up after their dogs. Hey, if you aren’t going to pick up after them, at least pull them off the sidewalk before they do their business.
— Richard Dreger, Batavia
… when drivers park their cars in the yellow hash-marked area next to the handicapped space. How in the world am I supposed to get my husband’s wheelchair to the passenger side, open the door wide, and help him into our car?
— Susan Brainerd, Des Plaines
… the phrase “can I help who’s next.” It’s bad enough for a teen, but cringe-inducing from their 40-year-old manager.
— Debra Parker, Wayne
