Something I overhead a few years ago...

I passed by a street vendor who sold ties, so I stopped to check them out. I'm a sucker for cheap ties.

There was guy right next to me who bought, what looked like, 10 ties. He then asked for a bag, to which the vendor responded, "We have no bags."

The guy responded, "What the hell? You stole all these ties, you couldn't steal some bags too?."

Ah, only in NYC.

Awesome. I like this one:


Woman: "Where are we going?"
Man: "We're going to Drunk City!!"

overheard by: Steph M.

You arent even a Metro, much less a Homo...Cheap ties, indeed.

I only wear them at work so I try not to spend too much on them. And no, I'm not your typical homo.

In the breakroom today...

Black Woman 1:Anita think she's pregnant again
Black Woman 2:She don't know who the daddy is for the first one
Black Woman 1:No.
Black Woman 2:She's not too bright.
Black Woman 1:No, she's about your complexion.

So that's who Burger King is marketing chicken fries to...

A couple standing in line to get into a bar in Old Town Pasadena about 5 months ago

Guy: Does your mom know I've been to prison?
Girl: No I'm not gonna tell her

Drunk black girl: I get mad cheap shit in Chinatown. You can get shit for like ten cents. China knows what's up.
Drunk black guy: Shit. But they are communist and shit.
Drunk black girl: Yeah, but the U.S. is a bunch of idiots. They're like, "We are gonna make shit fuckin' expensive," and China is like, "FUUUCK YOUUU. We are gonna sell shit for like one dollar, and all you stupid white bitches gonna buy it up. Fuuuck youuu."

At a dog run in July:

girl 1 "Ohmygwad you guys! Look at the three-legged dog!"
girl 2 "Ohmygwad, I looove three-legged dogs!"
girl 3 "Oh me toooo!"

there was an article in the paper the other day about a similar site for chicago. i think it's just funnier to post overheard conversations on boards.

I was going to post something I overheard the other day while walking past this hair salon near the post office I work at but the name of the hair salon* is funnier than what I heard.

First TO, now this. You're gonna get a spanking mister if you don't stop messing with me.

But She Has the Opposite Rule for Sausage

Cyclist #1: So how was your girl's birthday?
Cyclist #2: All right, I guess. I kinda fucked up.
Cyclist #1: Fucked up? How?
Cyclist #2: Well, she's vegan.
Cyclist #1: Yeah, so?
Cyclist #2: Well, I bought her a leather seat for her bike.
Cyclist #1: So what, man? She's vegan -- just because she doesn't like cow in her mouth doesn't mean she won't like it in her ass.

And two from my last week. Working in retail is an experience:


Old Woman: You mean you've never done a crossword puzzle? Oh, they're very fun. Sometimes I cheat and I look at the answer grid.



Young Boy: Can we go yet?
Mom: Almost. We just need to stop at the Beer Store.
Young Boy: But you already have beer!
Mom: So?
Young Boy: So don't be an alcoholic!

(ten minutes later, down a different aisle)

Mom: Do I look like I'm laughing?

overheard on my last phone call:

customer: where is that vendor located?
me: they're in south dakota
customer: where is south dakota?
me: it's south of north dakota

and just next to east dakota

haha. that. is. awesome.

you can get beer at fast food places like McDs in countries like germany

or you could, at least, 12 years ago when i was there

Romania's McDonald's franchises vend beer as well. As if the Romanians need any more of it.

And that was three years ago, so I am guessing the policy is still in force.

truly, the europeans are our superiors
