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?

“We’re going to be raising a generation of whiners.”

“After that meeting I think I need to take an acid bath.”

“I just injured both my legs hosting bar trivia, a job spent 98 percent sitting down.”

“It just occurred to me that beds are just nests for humans.”

“Hoping to die of dysentery soon.”

“I’m afraid to complete my taxes.”

“Remember life before kids? Yeah, me neither.”

“I think fatal diseases are way scarier than ghosts.”

“The amount of stupid in the world scares me sometimes.”

“I want to hibernate until forever.”

“Did you not get the ‘Cool People Wear Glasses’ memo?”

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 you casually mention a great book you’re reading and someone responds with: ‘Oh, really? I don’t have time to read.’” ~ That’s Sad

“Watching an engrossing play or film in public and feeling the urge to pee halfway through.” ~ Crossing My Legs

“Mud, mud, mud, mud, mud everywhere!” ~ Gosh, Get out the Galoshes!
