Overheard and Pet Peeves: May 13, 2016

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’ll have a Bare Bottom Madness cause I am about ready to take off my wet pants.”

“I don’t know, I just trusted my friend’s knowledge and they were wrong.”

“You know, I would actually join the Summer Orientation Crew if the posters weren’t written in papyrus.”

“He’s probably going to live in that apartment where we saw the man in black fishnets and women’s underwear!”

“Throwback to when we all were friends!”

“Well, if I survive this exam, I’ll see you at the police station.”

“Nothing like waking up with a Sunday morning anxiety spell after passing out on someone’s living room floor.”

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?

Spending precious minutes trying to gently coax a jammed seatbelt out of its holder.

The struggle of unscrewing sticky caps on honey, jam and maple syrup jars.

Having to dig into the deepest depths of a vehicle’s backseat in search of seatbelt buckles.

Remembering, just a moment too late, that you have clipless pedals on your bike.

Swarms of Mayflies.
