Overheards 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?

“Hey, I’m trying to write a Viking romance novel over here.”

“Are you from Tennessee? Because you’re the only ‘Ten’ I see.”

“What if there’s an alien?”

“Why would there be a piece of pie on your desk?”

“He calls me about once a month. He’s like my period.”

The wife: “You’re having another one?”
The husband: “Of course, I’d hate to die without having tasted one.”

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?

“Pocket lint. I hate that crap.”

“People who don’t have any Packer spirit! Come on, break out that green and gold – you’re in Wisconsin!”

“There’s nothing that irks me more than over-cooked meat. If I order my steak medium rare, I want to eat it medium rare…not dried out and gray!”

“Dry elbows. For some reason, anytime I see someone with elbows that look like an elephants, it just annoys me. It’s called lotion, people!”

“Rain.”
