Overheards & 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?

Two moms singing to their kids in an outdoor café: “I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes…”

“Yeah, don’t freak out too much, because all men are stupid.”

“I’m getting totally grossed out by people today.”

Overheard at Marina Fest: “I like that boat that’s next to that boat over there.” With a reply of: “Which one?”

“A dragon is not a bird!”

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?

“Drivers who set their cruise control at 50 and never touch it again whether they’re in a 40 or a 55 mph speed zone.”

“When I go shopping or run errands, get home will all my bags feeling all satisfied with myself, only to realize that I forgot something important – perhaps the sole reason for the shopping trip – like milk or toothpaste.” – Sally Slattery
