Overheard, Shout Outs and Pet Peeves

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 have this imaginary screen I pull down between the customers and me.”

“Whenever I drive past a really smelly farm, I think of driving with my mom.”

“Why is Lance Armstrong on steroids? You don’t need to be strong to walk on the moon.”

“We’re gonna have a nerd extravaganza.”

“‘That’s a little high for a tramp stamp.’ ‘That’s because I’m so old that when I got it, pants still came up that high.’”

“First things first, we crashed a bachelor party.”

“That was a girl that worked at Hooters. She kind of messed him up a bit.”

“All I know is, I needed a lot of energy drinks, a lot of beer, and a lot of chew to get through that day.”

“As a geek, The Big Bang Theory offends me.”

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?
