Overheards and Obsessions, Sept. 18, 2015

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 didn’t think it was possible for me to dislike Joe Buck more than I do but then I saw the furry creature he’s attempting to grow on his face.”

“I don’t like the direction ‘west.’”

“Oh, I love dragging and dropping!”

“It looks like a small rodent that’s feeding off his overall douchy-ness.”

“A year ago I was getting ready for Umphrey’s McGee. Now I’m getting ready for cheese.”

“It was the American version of Sunnyvale Trailer Park, so yeah, I’d say it was a good weekend.”

“I wanted to be a famous radio personality, but I guess being awarded ‘Vibe Team Hero of the Month’ from Target will have to do.”
