Overheard and Pet Peeves

OVERHEARD
Are there tid-bits of conversations you’ve heard while standing in line at the grocery store, serving a table, or walking down the sidewalk that make you smile, cringe or laugh out loud?

“I didn’t know you needed gloves to play the bagpipes.”

“Justin I do not Beliebe you!”

“Now I know why they call it Forever 21. Because women are in there forever.”

“See, this is why we need to check in with each other before we buy gifts. I got her Cream of Mushroom too.”

“Have a Snickers. That always brightens my day.”

“You’re the Mexican biker version of Fabio.”

“Don’t give me your flaccid hand to shake, bro.”

PET PEEVES
Is there something that really irks you, gets your goat, rubs you the wrong way, drives you up the wall, gets you bent out of shape, puts a stick in your craw, or makes you want to throw in the towel?

When an apostrophe is used incorrectly.

When people use their teeth to hold their credit/debit card while they do something else with their hands. So disgusting!

Forgetting to plug the drain before filling the sink with dishes.

When people in parked cars open their doors into traffic without looking first.

When you say “hi” to someone and they don’t say “hi” back.
