Walking by the shore in New Zealand I see a middle-aged white haired man on a cell phone shouting in a thick Texas drawl, "I will NEVER! I will NEVER! I will NEVER do another deal with RANDY!"

Crazy blind Jamaican lady on the bus, standing up front yelling at us, preaching her wisdom: "Why do you t'ink you never see a Chinese drug addict? Or Chinese prostitute?"

My upstairs the other day on the phone to a ladyfriend while in the back stairwell:

I can't believe we slept together the first night I mean . . . you must have a lot of confidence. Did you take me home thinking we were going to have sex or did it just happen?

I made my exit at that point. There are just some things I don't need to know about Luciano.

incomprehensible Kool-Aid swallower (sarahel), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 03:32 (fourteen years ago) link

lol uh I thought you meant my neighbor's ladyfriend for a second there. I was very confused.

\(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Tuesday, 7 July 2009 03:36 (fourteen years ago) link

But is your neighbor's ladyfriend designed kinda like a car wash?

bamcquern, Tuesday, 7 July 2009 04:28 (fourteen years ago) link

I don't know. Maybe if I'd stuck around and continued eavesdropping I would know more.

Scored an Overhead in DC on DCist a couple of weeks ago:

A twenty-something couple is sitting on a block by the FDR memorial, among the cherry blossoms.

Man: "I find ways to work smarter, not harder, and then I work harder as well."
Woman, placing hand on his knee and looking adoringly into his eyes: (sigh) "Efficiency..."

"...and that's why I'm dropping out of nursing school."

Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Friday, 14 October 2011 21:47 (twelve years ago) link

Close!! That's why she stopped being a medical assistant. It got better too. She told an almost poetic story about giving a homeless man with maggot infested ass sores a flu shot. Most of this stuff doesn't bother me but even I was a little O_O. I also learned that she had to drop out of school and get her "Good Enough Diploma" after getting "knocked up", that her mother and sister are both bi-polar but self-medicate and that her 14 year old black lab's name is Spike. This was all in less than 10 mins. Tbh she was pretty interesting and I might kiw given the chance.

Juggy Brottleteen (ENBB), Friday, 14 October 2011 21:50 (twelve years ago) link

I'll bet that man had the cleanest and healthiest wounds in the city--maggots are great for keeping wounds infection-free.

Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Friday, 14 October 2011 21:54 (twelve years ago) link

Oh, don't worry, she covered that too. ;)

maggot infested ass sores

nakhchivan, Friday, 14 October 2011 21:57 (twelve years ago) link

well if you're going to get ass sores it's probably best to get maggot infested ones

pandemic, Friday, 14 October 2011 21:59 (twelve years ago) link

There was another story along those lines but I think you've probably heard enough.

Juggy Brottleteen (ENBB), Friday, 14 October 2011 22:01 (twelve years ago) link

just so u remember u never have the right to accuse me of posting grossout shit ever again

nakhchivan, Friday, 14 October 2011 22:07 (twelve years ago) link

I don't think I ever have!!

at some airport security checkpoint a couple of years ago:

woman to young boy: "put on your shoes! put them on! i mean it! put them on right now!"

boy: "no one ever comes to our house."

"ive no time for them whatever, especially british transport police, they probably couldnt even find Appleby

26 years it took them to find me, they aren't the sharpest tools in the box, I'm not paying my licence fee. A million pounds thats what they pay bloody Lineker

there is no way a semi-literate police constable is going to write my statement

the governor general of the bbc presided over the jimmy saville case and got a £2m pay rise!

the thing about these people, is they way laugh all the way to the bank

the boss of network rail got 300k for trains running a little closer to the time. isnt that supposed to be his job

pendolino crash, negative maintenance report. did he resign? course he bloody he didn't

its like that bloody blair, one of my friends is a champagne socialist. blair was in the miners club in sedgefield. he was in the back having a bloody glass of wine. Thats Labour for you
