Title: Overheard in New York. Post by: Fabricated on January 22, 2007, 06:06:56 PM http://www.overheardinnewyork.com
If only half of these are true it's still fucking fantastic. Chinese guy: Hey, now that you're here we can go to Sylvia's in Harlem and get some soul food. Black guy: What do you mean, "now that I'm here"? What, you can't go to Harlem by yourself, but now that you've got your token black you're safe? That's fucked up. Chinese guy: Let me ask you something: would you go to Harlem alone at night? Black guy: OK, that's not the point. Manager: My son likes white girls. I'm like, 'Boy, don't you know white people smell funny?! They smell like chicken when it's wet outside!' Coworker: Oh, yeah, they do be smellin' weird. God Squad lady: Praise Jesus! You won't be saved without Jesus! You have to start believing in Jesus to be saved! Jesus will always be there for you! Suit #1: Would it be so awful if we pushed her out when the doors open? Suit #2: No. Jesus will save her. Mother with little girl: Excuse me. My daughter wants to know if you're a pirate. Woman wearing bandana: No. I'm just a lesbian. Title: Re: Overheard in New York.

Quote Man: It was nice to meet you. Now will you shake my hand? Little boy: No. Man: Why not? Little boy: Because she gave you her number, but she already has a boyfriend! I don't like that. Woman: Shut up. That's not true. Little boy: If it isn't, then why did it say "Jason and Trish, together forever" on your phone, when I turned it on right now? Woman: Together forever, my ass; now shut up! Quote 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? Quote Girl #1: So when was your first kiss? Girl #2: My 17th birthday. Girl #1: How about your first time making out? Girl #2: Also my 17th birthday. Girl #1: ...first blowjob? Girl #2: This is awkward. 17th birthday, again. Girl #1: How about when you lost your virginity? Girl #2: 17th. Girl #1: How about the first time you -- Girl #2: I know what you're about to ask, and the answer is "my 17th birthday" again. Girl #1: God damn! What the hell did you do for your 18th birthday? and my favorite: Quote 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. Title: Re: Overheard in New York. Post by: Yoru on January 22, 2007, 11:12:25 PM I love it. Makes me nostalgic for home.
And reminds me why I never, ever want to actually go back and live there. :) Title: Re: Overheard in New York.

Quote I Have Never Known Where the Line Is Dude #1: This one girl I hooked up with once made me choke her and shit when we fucked. She wanted to struggle, and I had to pry her legs open and hold her down. And she cried afterward. Dude #2, laughing: Dude... Are you sure you weren't raping this girl? Dude #1, laughing: Man, fuck you. [Abruptly stops laughing, pales] ... Fuck, man... Title: Re: Overheard in New York. Post by: Strazos on January 23, 2007, 01:21:47 PM Pure Comedic Platinum.

It seems that many of you enjoy cramming into this train as if there is not another one directly behind us. But I understand, for I am a very sexy conductor, and everyone wants to be on my train. If you do, please stand clear of the doors. Thank you. --6 train, 59th St Title: Re: Overheard in New York.

Girl: What's the difference? Bookseller: One's a play about a girl and her dead brother, and the other is a play that hasn't been written yet about carbohydrates and proteins. Girl: Oh. The dead one, then. --Barnes & Noble, Court St. I wish i was there! Title: Re: Overheard in New York.

I think he's driving the 10:05 AM N-line now. Whenever we pull up to a stop, he says stuff like "Hasta la vista, passengers! You have a nice day and remember, Muni loves you." Sometimes I'm a little late to work just to catch that train. :) Title: Re: Overheard in New York.

Quote Black girl: Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror, and I'm just so hot that I wish I could fuck myself. White girl: Oh my god, me too! Black girl: Really, you look at yourself naked in the mirror, too? White girl: No, I look at you in the mirror, silly. Title: Re: Overheard in New York.

Quote Mother to friend: So, I had a hot flash the other day, and I was like, 'Oh my god! Am I going through menopause?' and-- Son: --Mom! What does 'menopause' mean? [Mother ignores him.] If you don't tell me, I'll yell it in public until you do! Title: Re: Overheard in New York. Post by: koboshi on January 26, 2007, 11:44:52 AM I’ve got to add one, not from NY mind you, first hand.
Waiting in line at Wawa at 2am with two energy drinks in hand the couple behind me starts talking to me, evidently oblivious of each other... Girl over right shoulder: What are you buying? Guy over left shoulder: Hey... Girl over right shoulder: You know that won't work... Guy over left shoulder: <just above a whisper> What are you… some kind of fireman? Girl over right shoulder: Those two will just cancel each other out. Stupid in one ear and surreal in the other, I’ve never taken drugs but I'm pretty sure that’s what LSD would feel like. Title: Re: Overheard in New York. Post by: Sky on January 26, 2007, 01:55:43 PM I remember a couple months ago at our favorite restaurant there was a couple behind us that were both talking on their cell phones through the entire meal. He was making business calls about real estate, trying to get guys to get construction done; she was making personal calls about hair, nails, makeup, clothes, etc.
We have many of these moments that really make us appreciate each other. Like...every time we are forced to go to walmart. It's like a genetic freakshow. Title: Re: Overheard in New York.

Two weeks ago, northern midwest, 6 year old's hockey game. Man standing next to us. He looked clean and well dressed, but everytime time he opened his mouth to speak I had the urge to purge. I was very close to asking him if he seriously ate shit for breakfast that day. Then I thought, "He may actually have some kind of throat rot caused by cancer and I'd feel really bad for asking..." Either way, I'm actually on the verge of gagging now just thinking about it. And the rink was outdoors! With a decent wind! Err, yeah, New York. What's up with that? Title: Re: Overheard in New York.
