Overheard and Shout Outs: Oct. 21, 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 don’t like hugging. I hate touching. It’s not interesting to me.”

 

“Honestly, my only goal for the remainder of the year is to make enough friends to fill a four-person table so I don’t have to sit alone.”

 

“Why are we so petty? I’m only petty with you.”

 

“I think I’m going to make a little advent calendar leading up to the election. But I’m going to fill it with booze instead. And on Election Day, a fifth.”

 

“I feel like it’d hurt the person swinging the rolling pin as much as it would hurt the one who got hit by it.”

 

“All I do all day is wipe.”

 

SHOUT OUTS

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

 

A shout-out to BBC Earth for releasing the incredible trailer for Planet Earth II!

 

Thank you to the organizers and volunteers of Sister Bay’s 71st annual Fall Fest – another great weekend had by all!

 

A pat on the back to late-night television hosts for giving us all a humorous and safe place to relax as we approach the final stretch of the 2016 presidential campaign.

 

A slap on the wrist to people who complain about litter when they see it on the ground but don’t bother to pick it up and dispose of it properly. If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem!
