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 just walked into the refrigerator to brush my teeth.”

“If it’s going to be that kind of party I’m putting my finger in the mashed potatoes.”

“Forget wimpy burgers, I gotta dance.”

“I’m an equal opportunity rubber.”

“I’m pretty sure I eat his boogers on a daily basis.”

“Can I write ‘daddy’s girl’ on your tramp stamp?”

“That’s an outfit you wear to the library.”

“You’ll have to hold me back, I might go suck on his beard.”

“My soul is soaked in bitters.”

“That’s not where your verbs go.”

“Oh my god! I just bought magic mushrooms for my son!”

“Do you grow oranges here?” (Overheard at Seaquist Orchards.)

“I’ve got to get out of this spandex.”

SHOUT OUTS

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

“Shout out to all the gorgeous vegetables popping out of the ground! Yum.” ~ Harvest Heaven

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 bicyclists ride side by side on windy back roads. Please ride single file and help drivers help you be safe.” ~ Concerned Driver

“A sinus infection in August! Not a fan, Stan.” ~ Miss Sniffles

“Returning home to find my roommate’s toenails on the coffeetable. Gross!” ~ Use the Bathroom
