Overheard and Shout Outs

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’m baffled at how a ginormous pink highlighter just disappears off my desk. At least my action figures are all present and accounted for.”

“This chair is going to give me a mom butt.”

“I get to photograph Arc Flash protective clothing at work, which is sadly the girliest thing I’ve done there. And the closest I’ll ever be to being a fashion photographer.”

“I wouldn’t care if anyone looked at my Internet history. It’s just a bunch of Google searches for teacup piglets.”

“Milwaukee?? They have roller derby! They have EVERYTHING!”

“Run? Ha! Put a pack of mutant zombie bears behind me and I might be able to do it. And that’s a big ‘might.’”

“I just hot chocolated myself.”
