Overheard
I found this site, Overheard In New York, where people submit conversations they’ve heard in various places in New York City. Sort of like my sister Tam’s post on Missed Connections, some of these are pretty embarassing for the parties involved. Which is a good thing since they’re pretty much all in the third person.
Here’s some of my favorites:
Gay Guys Prefer Hardwood
Girl #1: Ben’s hot, but I think he’s gay.
Girl #2: No way. Why?
Girl #1: He asked me if my carpet matches my drapes.
Girl #2: I don’t think he’s gay.
Girl #1: Oh yeah?
Girl #2: Call him up and tell him he can chew on your carpet!
Girl #1: What?
Learn How to Spell, K?
Wangsta teen: Move, nigga, or I’ll cut you with my knife!
Tween girl #1: Oh my God! He said the ‘n’ word!
Tween girl #2: Knife?
(This next one would be for my friend Mark)
Time to Take a Break from the Studying
Guy #1: I’d totally hit that.
Guy #2: Dude, I’d hit that so hard whoever could pull me out would become the King of England.
And, Besides, I’m Chicken
Man: I just don’t get it! Just last night you were complaining about how you never try anything new, but you feel like you should.
Woman: Ok, well ordering the roast duck is a little different than a threesome, Tim.
Check it out and post your favorites in the Comments! Or, if you’ve overheard some juicy conversations, post those too.
Edit - I gotta add one more, this one is great:
In a De-luxe Apartment in the Sky
Two kids are looking at the Dove ad campaign showing Hanna-Barbera characters with new hairdos.
Kid #1: Yo, look at that Jetsons mom’s hair.
Kid #2: What’s the Jetsons?
Kid #1: You don’t know the Jetsons? Dem’s those niggas that live in space.
