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?

“Don’t take it personally, but I didn’t mean to call you.”

“The first six hours of today completely dominated my world.”

“Prepare to be dazzled.”

“I have avoided falling on ice at least 12 times already today.”

“Does a fat puppy fart?”

“Boy, you’re sure lucky you don’t have any pants to pull up.”

“Let the emotional breakdowns commence.”

“Uncle Jesse bought us vegetable donuts, not regular donuts. They were healthy.”

“Apparently I am high class art.”

“The lunacy is infinite!”

“I miss drinking at the laundromat.”

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?

“Hey, snowmobiler dad. Did ya really think it was ok for you and your five kids to stop at a retail food store and traipse in one at a time to use the bathroom? With your snow, mud and gasoline covered boots leaving a trail behind you? Without buying anything, and no please or thanks? Beyond rude.” ~ Anonymous

“Going away for a little getaway and leaving something behind – a fluffy towel, a down-feather pillow, a $25 bottle of shampoo!” ~ Very Forgetful Vacationer
