Overheard, Pet Peeves 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?

“Follow the screaming children and take a left at the dead cow.”

“They called it a vacation – it was just mass chaos for 30 hours.”

“Broccoli is ridiculous as a sponge.”

“Sometimes you want to go to the wolves and say, ‘Hey, do you have to come by the daycare?’”

“If they can eat your kids, I’m your guy.”

“When invasives arrive, all sorts of evil descend therefrom.”

“Sounds like a good place to be naked in your yard.”

“I don’t know anyone who makes beer with their feet.”

“This hat cost more than my car.”

“I am not Catholic, but I’m uncomfortable.”

“It’s not racist, it’s sports.”

“One more thing – I heard all your farts.”

“I think there are dog treats in his beard.”

PET PEEVES
