CONTEST NOW CLOSED- Pull Out Those Compliments, It’s Say Something Nice Day!

[Alan_K]

Hey Community,

Take “throwing shade” and throw it out the window for tomorrow is Say Something Nice Day! Take time to compliment one of your friends, thank the person bagging your groceries, or even leave a nice comment on a YouTube video for a change. Kindness is what helps the world go round, so in honor of tomorrow’s holiday here are five of the best compliments from movies:

• “Seriously? It’s like you’re photoshopped!” – Crazy Stupid Love

• “I love you even when you’re sick and look disgusting.” – Love Actually

• “You’re very generous. You’re kind to strangers and children, and when you stand in the snow you look like an angel.” – Groundhog Day

• “You’re so wise. You’re like a miniature Buddha covered in hair.” - Anchorman

• “That’s just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.” - Office Space

Feel free to use those when you’re slinging out compliments tomorrow. Plus saying nice things to people causes good things to come back to you. Comment below by 12:00 pm ET on June 7, 2019 and give a shout out to someone on the Community who’s done something nice for you recently and we will select three winners at random who will receive a $25 Public Mobile account credit + $25 to the person they shouted out. Let the compliment extravaganza begin! Contest runs May 31 to June 7, 2019. Read Contest Rules before entering.

I'd also like to give a shoutout to @srlawren .  When I first started out at Public Mobile, he always seemed to be all around the Community, making helpful suggestions and assisting people get their Public Mobile services up and running.

[dabr]

I agree there always seems to be someone willing to help for all manner of questions.  I especially admire anyone trying to assist when it's not very clear what kind of help a user is requesting when the quesion being asked is quite confusing. 

But I'm going to agree with others who have given a shout out to @Luddite and @srlawren  both of whom always seem to give a lot of encouragement to anyone trying to help out here. Sometimes I wonder if srlawren is missing an 'i' from his name:)  and I don't think @geopublic ever sleeps and is always available for quick and helpful reply:)

[Luddite]

Kudos from @LovesToPM  and @Psygineer made my day today. Made me soooo mellow.

[LovesToPM]

So many friendly and helpful people on here. It can be overwhelming at times lol.

It's really hard to choose just one. I'll nominate @Luddite, his posts do make me smile most times.

[SD08]

Throughout my time in this community, I've learned from many members.  I wish PM could send all of them prizes, but if I have to pick only one, @srlawren has been especially helpful, both publicly and privately, so my appreciation goes to him.

[Anonymous]

Dunkman and pm-smayer97 have inspired me to add my appreciation to @RobertQc. Not long after I got here about a year ago, I started participating and had a bit of a crisis of my participating here. He very nicely coaxed me back into the fold. We have had all sorts of pleasant conversations backchannel. It's nice to see that I'm not an isolated case and that he relates to others as well.

So I thank you for that RobertQc. And thank you for your kind words. We miss you around here!

[buchaneer52]

will13am has always been supportive to me in responding to my questions and my comments- I'm sure that he sincerely believes that "If you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all!"

[duffer900]

From what I have noticed there are tons of helpful people here...

One that stands out is @geopublic .

Always helpful, always with great detailed answers.

[Tiprix]

Thanks you to the PM staff @Alan_K for creating these contests ever so often.  Sometimes it really makes you think

[FY]

I love this phrase "Kindness is what helps the world go round" .

Thanks!

[Kovaelin]

Thanks to everyone that takes their time to give people help her on the forums.

[Macgurl]

I was a long time Rogers subscriber. Moved to Public Mobile about a month ago - no complaints. Lower rates -  better deals, what more can I say.

[pm-smayer97]

After going around in circles for months trying to find a solution to the limitation of this forum, @RobertQc gave me the inspiration and key to solving the puzzle of 

How to get notified of ANY New Promos, Announcements, System Outages, etc

without having to check the site every day. 

I shared this easy solution so all can benefit. It's a great time saver and is very reassuring.

Thanks again!

[demon1102]

Thank PM team for bringing back $25 plan.

[Dunkman]

Thanks @RobertQc for being welcoming and encouraging me when I first started on the community forum.  Of course, thanks to all the oracles who are knowledgeable and helpful to everyone.  

[Psygineer]

@Spygineer is still my hero. One day I hope to make it to the top 5% list too.

In all seriousness though, @Luddite is a pretty decent oracle. Not saying the others are not by any stretch, just limited to one nomination! (I think). 

[RobertQc]

Thanks to @Anonymous for team public mobile motivation.

@andrewjc 

Welcome to PM family. 

Ask if you have any question.

[andrewjc]

I'm a new Public Mobile user who got my SIM card yesterday and just got my forum account a few minutes ago. But despite not having posted here before, will13am has been a huge help to me. I did a ton of Googling prior to signing up for Public Mobile, and often times I would find the specific answers I was looking for through their answers on these forums. I look forward to getting more involved with this community in the future and helping out where I can.
