Overheard and Pet Peeves: Sept. 23, 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 think you’ve hit the trifecta of jackassery.”

“Ugh. I don’t like that Italian wedding soup. It tastes like divorce.”

“I like baby snuggles. They’re like little batteries. Bundles of energy.”

“I actually shook Brett Favre’s hand! I told him I’m from Seymour and he said he’s heard of it! I feel like a 15-year-old girl!”

“It’s September. Pet peeves come easy!”

“It’s like bread but it’s lettuce, which is my worst nightmare.”

“Turn the hooch factor down a bit. My gosh.”

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 it’s freezing in the morning then boiling hot midday.

Sideline interviews and postgame press conferences.

When your Snapchat filter picks up the ghost you share your house with.

When one of your benched fantasy football players scores a bunch of points, and your only choice is to tell yourself that it’s just a game.

Advice columnists who give answers that go against everything Miss Manners says.

When you can feel a stray hair on you somewhere but you can’t quite find it.
