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 was spying with my ears.”

“I’d rather see Cher.”

“I’m so out of it I washed my hair with body wash this morning.”

“You can’t pee outside here, you’re not at home.”

“Donald’s a really good driver…dancer I mean.”

“Look at that duck’s hair.”

“I don’t like this water on my head.”

“Is it ok to drool?”

“I’m sitting at a table of empowered women and I like it.”

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

“Props to the Landmark Resort for donating mattresses (300 of them!). Sleep well everyone! ~ Anonymous

“Shout Out to the Conlons on Hill Road in Sister Bay! Their thousands of daffodils have cheered us all from those warm days in March through chilly April until right now. They deserve a cheer!” ~ Gloria Dougherty

“Shout out to everyone who participated in the Door County Half Marathon May 5 – runners and non-runners alike!” ~ Supportive Non-runner

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 I go out walking on the shoulder of a road and I step in someone else’s dog poop! If you’re not going to pick it up, at least kick it off of the shoulder where it’s less likely the next person walking by will step in it.” ~ Anonymous

“Those little pesky May flies. I hate when you pass through a swarm of them so big and thick that the air looks gray. YUCK!!” ~ Anonymous
