Illinois town to outlaw “eye rolling”

Read Time:57 Second

If you find yourself annoyed while visiting Elmhurst, Illinois, think twice before rolling your eyes. Officials are debating a “disturbance and disorderly conduct” violation that includes eye-rolling, TribLocal.com reports. It all started when a resident was ejected from a public committee meeting after rolling her eyes and, as typically goes along with that, sighing.

Darlene Heslop, the resident in question, has no problem with defining disorderly conduct in the municipal code because “I’d like for them to have a better understanding of the open meetings act and its meaning and to understand what disorderly conduct is,” she says (while, one assumes, rolling her eyes). She adds that perhaps city officials will start to understand “what the public is entitled to” when attending a city meeting.

The Lawyer ought to take note of this ruling and use it to best effect in his own household 😉

Mrs. Lawyer doesn’t tolerate eye rolling, especially from me. This has made for some strange arguments over the years. “Did you just roll your eyes at me?” she asks, bristling. “What?” I say in my defense. “You rolled your eyes at me.” “I did?” “Yes, you did.” “When?” “Just now–Ah! You did it again!” “I did?”

I would be in solitary confinement for a life sentence if that was me. I do a mean eye roll, with one eyebrow up at the same time.
