Overheard and Pet Peeves: Nov. 23-Dec. 2

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?

“Big city pigeons are very odd. They’re fearless.”

“If at first you don’t succeed, it’s time for drinks.”

“Are you finished?” “No, I just gotta put my beard in it.”

“She’s at the age where children are like mice. They get into everything and there’s nothing you can do about it.”

“Look at all those butts bowing down to you!”

“You’re a small bush.”

“Egypt, like the country Egypt? I thought that was the Luxor in Vegas!”

“If we don’t laugh at our own jokes, then nobody’s going to.”

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?

When nearly starving your dog to death only constitutes a misdemeanor abuse charge. #Lucy

Pumpkin smashers.

When stores go right from Halloween to Christmas. Can we please stop to be thankful first!?

Getting sprayed with water while rinsing a spoon.

Socks that lost their elasticity.

Having something stuck in your shoe that you can’t get out.

Commercials that are louder than the programming.

That one spot on your windshield that never gets clean enough.
