Overheard and Pet Peeves: Nov. 25, 2015

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?

 

“Whoa! Is that a beard poll?”

 

“Is that man frolicking in the field of tongues?”

 

“MIT guys… always doing things prematurely.”

 

“Sounds like my upstairs neighbors are on stilts playing hockey with a rock.”

 

“I’m most handsome with my long hair.”

 

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?

 

Accidentally buying the ‘fat free’ version of a food you like.

 

People who douse themselves in perfume/cologne before going to the gym.

 

Toilet splash.

 

Accidentally pulling on a car handle at the same time the driver pushes the unlock button.

 

Family members who start Thanksgiving-related drama two weeks before the holiday. Unlike Christmas shopping, this is one case where it’s best not to start early.

 

Rubberneckers.

 

Wobbly chairs and/or tables at restaurants.
