Overheards, Shout Outs, & 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 don’t think he’s that good looking. He kinda looks like George W. His eyes are too close together.”

“You stole my sushi roll with your tweezers!”

“I watched Knocked Up last night and now I want a baby.”

“A man with that kind of face should not have that kind of body.”

“First we started talking about the differences between boys and girls.”

“New Year’s is a time to makeout.”

“Look at the rear end in those pants.”

“Bayside Coffee. I’ll take nine.”

“It was like I walked into a carnival without even knowing I was going to a carnival.”

“If you smoke pot, don’t before you go.”

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

“Thank you to the Cornerstone for re-opening for lunch!” ~ Madeline Johnson

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 you go to the gas pump in winter, stick your card in, and then the machine asks you too many questions before you can get the gas. ‘No! I don’t want a car wash – I’m freezing out here!’” ~ Anonymous

“I don’t like that NPR cuts out right when you get to Sturgeon Bay – always in the middle of something good.” ~ Anonymous
