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?

“Is ‘fist pump’ one word or two?”

“‘What are you doing?’ ‘Trying to avoid seeing anyone I know.’”

“Have you met any emotionally available guys in Door County? Cause I haven’t.”

“Do I have a nice belly button?”

“Whoa! That’s a whole lot of circus peanuts.”

“I’m not going to pay $50 to be a M&M!”

“She’s singing in French, how do you know it’s a run-on sentence?”

“It’s tennis, if tennis were ping pong.”

“He’s all about animals that poop not in your house.”

“The only exercise I’ve done all day is standing.”

“He needs to be de-hickified.”

SHOUT OUTS

Is there someone or something that deserves a pat on the back or a slap on the wrist?

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?

“Negative campaign ads. It’s getting old.” ~ Anonymous
