Say what you mean...

Overheard... And Concurred
As a reminder this post, will tell you why the below conversations made me smile (even though I wasn't a part of them) .

A Coworker of mine: "August is my enemy-month. As soon as September 1st arrives, I feel like a huge weight has lifted off my chest. I just have to make it through August."

Picture two Price Chopper employees enjoying a smoke in the parking lot, bending over and looking at something.
Employee 1: "What is that?"
Employee 2: "That's a cicada!"
E1: "A what?"
E2: "A cicada! Don't you hear that 'eeeerrrronnnnng, eeeeeeronnnnng'? Didn't you wonder where that was coming from? I tell you, that's how you know it's really hot. You hear that 'eeerrrrronnnnng' and you know. It's really hot."


Oh, Snap

Worker at a coffee shop I (used to) frequent: "You look really great today! Are you wearing a lot of makeup?"

EDITING NOTE: I no longer go to that coffee shop, but this is because of geographic logistics... not because the above comment offended me. I enjoy a misplaced statement as much as the next person, and I thought this one was delightful.

  1. I was showing Leah wedding pictures. "Oh my gosh," she gushed. "You look so different... you look so pretty!" Um, thanks? Your last story reminded me of that! ;)

    I am with your co-worker. I'm claiming August as my enemy month, too!!
