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?

“Interfering Grannies is my new band, by the way.”

“I could use this to syphon my ear wax!”

“Don’t drink the whole cooler of beer and then drive home.”

“I still like you, even though you smell like onions.”

“Mom, you need an army.”

“We are going to be goat farmers, I’m serious.”

“He ruined my Swiffer because he’s an over aggressive cleaner.”

“Tef Lon, you would make a good pirate.”

“My cat broke my George Foreman. Actually, two Foremans.”

“Someone asked me what we do here in the winter. My answer is turn left.”

“This coffee needs some vodka.”

“Put that in your Peninsula Pulse and smoke it!”

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?

People who drink bottled water for its purity then litter with the empty bottle.

It is highly irritating when people don’t signal their turn when driving. They are there for safety reasons people. Use them.

Trying to get shredded cheese out of its Ziploc packet without getting cheese all over the place.

Groups of people who congregate on sidewalks while talking and do not move out of the way for individuals who are walking.

Parked vehicles that block sidewalks.
