OVERHEARDS, SHOUTOUTS, and MORE

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?

“It’s a good thing you went ‘squeak, squeak’ otherwise I wouldn’t have seen you.”

“She’s one of those chicken or egg people.”

“There’s blood and chili on my pants, it’s a good day!”

“Have you ever seen Jersey Shore? It makes me feel good about myself.”

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

“Shout out to the folks at Main Street Market in Egg Harbor! They are always so helpful, and so quick to grab my bag of groceries and carry it to my car!” ~ Anonymous

“Shout out to my Jersey Shore-loving, DQ Blizzard-craving, Target-shopping sidekick, Kayla! What would my first Door County winter have been without you?” ~ Sally Slattery

OBSESSIONS
Is there anything you can’t stop thinking about, listening to, watching, eating, or drinking? Obsessions are meant to be your of-the-moment fixation.

“Taco Bell. I love that place…even if it’s not all beef.” ~ Anonymous

“I’m obsessed with the Oscars. I’ve put every film that’s nominated in any category whatsoever on my Netflix list. I can’t wait to see them all!” ~ Anonymous

“The Mighty Boosh on the BBC.” ~ Anonymous

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?

“FDAs. Facebook Displays of Affection. Seriously, if you love someone that much, tell him or her in person and spare the rest of us your gush session.” ~ Anonymous

“Red Vine Licorice…I just don’t see what all the fuss is about.” ~ Anonymous
