Overheard & 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?

“Green and gold quesadilla – double the fun!”

“It’s my birthday: I can command people to grill my meat.”

“I gotta tinkle something fierce.”

“Betty White didn’t die, she dyed….her hair.”

“My brain was slipping into monster truck mode…I was thinking they were cool.”

“When I die and come back as a chicken maybe I’ll order the chicken.”

“Take a fun ride to a magical place covered in magical sauce.”

“The cheetah is going to get you – you’ve separated from the herd like a gazelle.”

“We’ve got ingredients for greatness.”

“Babies have perfect little bodies.”

“Just wait for this winter!!”

“Separate rooms tonight?”

“You are aging nicely.”

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?

“Water in my basement.”

“Trying to roll up a sleeping bag and get it back in the stuff sack (in less than 25 minutes!).”

“Wet firewood.”

“When my shower sets off my smoke alarm.”

“Being the last car that did not make it on the ferry.”

“Car drivers that don’t stop for pedestrians. And WORSE car drivers that pass you on the right while you are stopped!”
