To be honest with you I wasn’t really expecting this week to be a very good Things I Have Overheard.
A coworker got married this week and was out of the office, we were wrapping up a big project and I got sick, so I thought for sure I was going to have to skip a week after posting three weeks in a row. See Part I, Part II, Part III.
I REALLY thought there wasn’t going to be much #overheard when my boss started following me on Twitter, where I original post comments when they are first said. Then in the middle of the week my boss presented me with a t-shirt that let me know he knows about being #overheard.

So apparently the office knows about being #overheard. At least they are OK about being in a my novel, uh, my blog.
Despite not being 100%, I toughed it out and headed out to our new hangout/neighborhood bar with Tammy to watch the Memphis Grizzlies play. We met up with some friends we met last week, were introduced to some new ones and, of course, had some really good #overheard moments.

Our new friends at the neighborhood bar. (from left: Me, Tammy, Big Daryl, Casey, Carter, “Long Arms” Lori, Barbara and Scott Dakota.) See you guys next week.
With all that being said, I present you Things I Have Overheard this past week. As you’ll see, we were all over the place this week.
Women are tricky. #overheard
Don’t insult my package. #overheard
CW: I can’t bend over.
Me: You can, you just don’t need to. #overheard
She just looks like an old lady in a young person’s body. #overheard
Me: These aren’t hobo M&Ms.
CW 1: What’s hobo M&Ms?
Me: They are M&Ws. #overheard
I’ve yet to have an M&M that I didn’t like. #overheard
Don’t take this the wrong way, but I don’t understand how you are as skinny as you are. #overheard
Hours are worse. Sometimes hours can be crazy. Sometimes an hour can be worse than two. #overheard
We are done. D-U-N. #overheard
You’ll have to push it through from behind. #overheard
Did I ever tell you about how I wanted to get out of Arkansas? But it’s just weird that what I traded it for is Mississippi. #overheard
That’s not to say that cats are smart, because if they were they’d stay out of my yard. They don’t know how much they are risking their lives. #overheard
I think y’all is just easier to say. #overheard
Yesterday was a bad day. It was my first day off Rockstar’s so I think it made me weak. #overheard

I’d prefer that little kids in sweatshops weren’t doing the work, but I’d still buy the shirt if it’s cheap. #overheard
They are better off than our kids, drinking, smoking, they are working. #overheard
They don’t have as many things to buy, so it’s actually a good thing for them. #overheard
If they are going to make stuff cheap then we might as well take advantage. #overheard
She could potentially look different if she didn’t like the burgers. #overheard
Famous people don’t get that big. #overheard

Sometimes having a yard is just part of life. #overheard
CW: I graduated cum laude.
Me: I graduated. #overheard
Apparently anything based on a book is a big deal. #overheard
Zombies are the new vampires. #overheard
Who wants to bet, what the new, big, half-dead beast will be? #overheard
If I had to pick an undead creature to be then I’d pick a vampire because aren’t zombies stupid? #overheard
If you took a zombie to Burger King would they be distracted? #overheard
If it’s a pulled muscle then I’m retarded. #overheard
If you took as many steps as you said words that would be amazing. #overheard
I’m ready to be done eating this so I can eat dessert. #overheard
I feel poor because my husband is eating pimento and cheese sammiches. #overheard
See, these are the funnest cookies ever. #overheard
Why do you think I’m stupid? I don’t need to think I’m stupid if I’m looking for a job. #overheard
Usually you don’t get rewarded for being stupid. #overheard
So my lens pops out of my glasses. But my eyesight’s not good enough to put ’em back in. #overheard
Me: Do you know if he’s on the grounds or out somewhere?
CW: I’m pretty sure he’s standing somewhere.

I kinda got to be in a special mood to eat fruit. #overheard
Take your rotten shrimp-ass away from me. #overheard
Lick this leaf and tell me of it’s salty. #overheard

Your face looks really funny (pause) in that mirror. #overheard

You just like them because they fit on my nipples. #overheard

[He’s] about halfway between Burt Reynolds and the Pillsbury Doughboy. #overheard

Whether I’m an animal lover or not depends on the animal. #overheard
We had a pitcher of water that we were trying to throw on them, but we couldn’t get close enough. #overheard
I thought about hiding out in the tree at night and sniping at them. #overheard
I heard they don’t like human hair, so when I got my hair cut last week we kept a cup of it, but we haven’t put it out yet. #overheard
I wish you could get an electric fence that would work without the collars. #overheard
He always looks like his suits are too small for him, but I think it’s just because his head is so small. #overheard
I marked to be an organ donor on my license, so, yes, I’d donate an organ to a stranger (pause) when I’m dead. #overheard
Can you buy a cage-top for a crib? #overheard
Those things can lay eggs in your face. #overheard
I’d rather have a cockroach run up my arm than a rat, either one could happen. #overheard
Something stinks in here. It’s not bananas, it’s pigs. #overheard
CW 1: I’m thinking it’s a prank.
CW 2: I’m thinking somebody sh!t their pants. #overheard
Well I think if you corner her by herself I don’t think she’ll lie about it. #overheard
I could totally shoot them from the window and no one would see me do it. #overheard
CW 1: Not a cat guy, huh?
CW 2: Why would anyone be? #overheard

Me: You’re a jerk. #overheard
Yeah, Arkansas’s all right. There are a lot of f****** farms and cows and grass and s—. #overheard
