Got this idea from www.overheardinnewyork.com Overheard anything weird or had any strange conversations lately? Post your/their weirdness here! Here's some of mine:

Steph-It smells of poo in here, I think it's coming from the cupboard...Can't anyone else smell it?
Tina-Everybody check your shoes.
Adam-For ****'s sake...
*We all check our shoes*
Steph-Everybody check your bum!

A little boy I was talking to in the school library: Florida's a great country!
*******************************************************
Zoe: You might have seen Sam on page three...
Little boy: What book?
*Lots of confused looks*
LB: You said page three, in what book?
Zoe: Ask your mum when you get home.
LB: Why, will she have it?
*******************************************************
"I saw what was inside her ear..."
-Walking in a theme park somewhere
*******************************************************
"Stop laughing. How am I supposed to discipline him if you're laughing?"
-Some guy talking to his kid sat behind us in Denny's Diner
********************************************************
"That's an authentic feather, right there-" *points* (I looked to where he was pointing but I couldn't see any feathers, let alone authentic ones.)
-Queuing to go on Jaws at MGM Studios
********************************************************
"We drove all the way down here, in the car...and now we're sat here...in a car!"
-The guys sat behind us on Test Track at Epcot
*********************************************************

(I wasn't sure what to rate this because it could get pretty inappropriate... :P)

In a bathroom...

Girl 1: Is it rock paper scissors or ro sham bo?

Girl 2: The mystery goes on!

Girl 1: But it is really a challenge. Will you have rock... or will you have scissors?

Girl 2: Don't forget paper!

my friends are pretty wierd...we generally get into really interesting conversations which confuse people who listen in.

here's one of my favorites...

our new principal was walking by the lunch table and my friend Robert and I were talking about a Band of Brother's episode we just watched. but this was all the principal heard.

"you better rip off my pants and check that it's all still there!"
Fraser: Stop stealing the blanket.
[Diefenbaker whines]
Fraser: You're an Arctic Wolf, for God's sake.
(Due South)

Hatter: Do I need a reason to help a pretty girl in a very wet dress? (Alice)

"What...you play the accordion AND you weld?!"

"doo doo doo doo do be doo...what?....it's Jurassic park!"
"Sometimes we see a cloud that's dragonish,
A vapour sometimes like a bear or lion,
A towered citadel, a pendant rock,
A forked mountain, or blue promontory,
With trees upon't that nod unto the world,And mock our eyes with air.."

Albert, once he started getting sick of Jenna: "Oh, just shut up."

Jenna: "Screw you."

Albert: "Screw you!"

Jenna: "Screw you!"

Camille: "You guys stop screwing each other!"

And that's what our principal heard when she walked in... I was on my way out, so I just decided to speed up my exit... LOL...

*laughs* That's great. Reminds me of when I was talking to Mesh in band quite a while ago, and I think we were frustrated with Brad, so Mesh said, "Screw Brad." I, being the hopper I was back then, replied, "Gladly." :roll:

...Firstly, I don't know. Secondly, that should be saved for PM. Thirdly, this is the lounge, not the randomness board, so please keep it on topic. :roll:

Rated R:

some chick: "I was getting f***ed last night by my boyfriend, but for some reason I feel so helpless beneath him. I want to help him, but its just too tiring."
other chick: "Well, I have the same problems, but I think my man likes being in control."
me: turning red, as I was sitting right in front of them listening
1st chick: "It just feels sooo good, I can't do anything for long, you know?"
2nd chick: sighs "yea"
Then I had to do a spanish assignment, in which case I was able to get away from them, and not listen anymore. This conversation is over a year and half years old, so I may not have it totally correct. But I remember the subject of sex and their boyfriends because I thought the Spanish teacher was hot.

Light travels faster than sound. That is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience

I don't suffer from stress. I am a carrier.



I was flummoxed by fractious Franny's decision to abrogate analgesics for the moribund victims of the recent conflagration. Of course, to display histrionics was discretionary, but I did so anyways, implicating a friend in my drama to make the effect cumulative. I think a misanthrope would have a prosaic appellation, perhaps one related to autonomy and the rejection of anthropocentrism. I think they wouldn't think much of the prominence of watching the coagulation of tea to prognosticate future malevolent events, not even if those events were related to jurisprudence.
