Overheard Everywhere
Man #1: Are these seats taken?
Man #2: No, they are not, but I have to warn you -- we both had Chinese food for dinner, so we are going to have some major gas in a little bit. Man #1: That's fine, we had Thai. Man #2: Oh, then we're even. Have a seat. I love this site: http://www.overheardeverywhere.com Young topologist: It would be so cool to be a chef, because, like, what you cook would be inside people who eat your food.

Heh, I know coconut milk has that kind of effect, but I haven't heard of anything like that in Chinese food.

I overheard this in a Brannigan's restaurant in London:
"I'll have a double-fudge deluxe banana split. And a Diet Coke." |

Hey, I think I really like that grandmother. You go tell them, girl! Bratty grandchildren, thinking they have stress. (I just realised, it also kind of reminds me of the cliché story that elders might tell children complaining in any way about school, be it that they don't like it, or that the way there is too long: "When *I* was your age, we had to stomp three miles through hip-high snow every day, uphill - In both directions!" Only in with this grandmother, the retort to the child might actually have quite a bit of truth.) Quote:
Chinese food uses Coconut milk too. And different types of beans. Yesterday, when my mother drove me to my archery practice, I got out of the car, and two boys (10-12 years old, I'd guess) drove by on inline skates. This is what they were saying: Boy 1: Are you wearing underwear? Boy 2: Nah, you? Boy 3: Nah. I think the stuff's useless. I couldn't help but laugh out loud, it was such a strange thing to overhear, from boys that young of all people, too. -

Woman on bus #1: I don't know what's been going on with my vagina!
Woman on bus #2: Good heavens, dear! Whatever do you mean? Woman #1: Well, it seems I'm having a bad case of... vaginal farts. Woman #2: No! Woman #1: Yes! It's gotten so bad lately, it's like it's... talking back to me! Obviously Amused Elderly Man Sitting Behind Women: So is that what they call an answering cervix??? (Inspired several 'Start a Rumour' posts! )

It's humor is porbably lost without the moment containing it, but when I was at South Beach during spring break, I heard a couple frat guys talking about drinking and fucking, and one part I remember laughing to:
Frat Guy: So she calls me, and it's like 2 in the morning so of course I was already wasted!

Mother: Don't you ever do that again! [slaps child hard]
Child, calmly: Well, are you happy with yourself? That one's a doozy. My friends and I like to get into these embarrassingly private but made-up conversations in elevators and other small places where strangers can't help but overhear. |

Love this one:

And what's wrong with calling them "Steward" or "Stewardess"? I know Stewardesses who say "Don't call us 'Flight Attendants', just call us 'Stewardess'!" because they too agree this Political correctness business is just ridiculous most of the time. -

I still refer to them as air hostesses. Political correctness has never been something I've observed.

Well, "Flight Attendant" is outtdated these days anyway. These days you're supposed to call them "Cabin Crew". I think as long as you don't call them "Saftschubse" or "Trolley Dolley", I guess they should be alright. I think the complaint with "Stewardess" was that it's not gender neutral. Though I don't really see the problem, because I call the male incarnations "Stewards". But I know some people would make fun of specifically the male cabin crew, and come up with something that still uses "Stewardess" but makes clear that a male is the person being talked about. -
