Overheard and Pet Peeves: August 11, 2017

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?

“Some guys are good in the elbows.”

“I watched True Life: I’m Losing My Hair on MTV – it was so sad.”

“Digital photography is just farting on buttons.”

“She’s one of those chicken or egg people.”

“There’s blood and chili on my pants. It’s a good day!”

“Don’t pay attention to my grammaricle mistakes.”

“Door County is the nation’s largest open-air asylum.”

“I woke up with fish scales on my face and I wasn’t even on a boat.”

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?

Summer people who don’t understand we have to work in the morning and start a 30-minute fireworks display at 11 pm on a weeknight.

Overzealous stapler users.

Paying for a movie ticket to a comedy only to realize all of the funny parts were included in the commercials.

Ground squirrels.

When your “personal life” to-do list is just as awful and long as your “work life” to-do list, and you don’t want to be at work but you don’t want to be at home either.
