the overheard conversation thread

m1rr0r dash · 05.30.2008, 07:43 AM

in the grocery store the other day, by the fresh vegetables a woman was reaching for a cucumber when the sprinklers came on. she says to her friend,

"ah! i hate it when that happens!"

"what's wrong?"

"it got me all wet!"

"it's just water - it's not going to kill you."

[mock seductively] "yeah - but it gets me all wet."

'yeh but you cant sleep with the whole football team'
'yeh i can! have you seen them all'?

I already replied to this same thread on the noise board but I'll paste it here.

Last night, I heard this fat black chick going, "WELL, MY PROBATION OFFICER DIDN'T CARE!"

I work in a grocery store so as you can imagine I hear all kinds of scummy things...

One of my favorites was this total weirdo Charles Manson looking dude coming in at 4 AM and asking me if we have any anhydrous ammonia.. I said "no" and he stared at me, wordless, for about a minute.. and walked off...

Also, a few months back, I saw a chick stuffing a full loaf of bread down her sweatpants...

One of the weirder things that has happened recently was a customer came over and starting working with me, he put up a few of my boxes of stuff (I work in the frozen foods area) and then walked by me and I noticed he had done that and was like, "uh.. thanks man..?!" (you know, because it doesn't really make sense for a customer to do my work for me) And he turned around, gave me this cool, like, gun-shaped finger-point at me and went, "No prob!" and then made a *click* sound from his gun-shaped finger.. if you know what I mean. The fuck.

One time, I heard a chick saying into her cellphone, "Well, maybe you should go shoot her face then!" I always wondered if she was talking about cum, a gun, or a camera being shot..

Uh.. that's all I can think of right now.

"No, no, on the computer. Yes. Windows on the computer. No, not the actual window... Windows is the name of the programme on the computer..."

I stopped listening then.

Rob Instigator · 05.30.2008, 10:20 AM

me on the phone with an idiot

"OK, just make sure to turn your monitor off"

(them) "Monitor?"

"Yes, the monitor. Make sure it is turned off, the on/off button is on the lower right."

"ooooooohhh-kay....the monitor under my desk right?"

"No. The monitor, the 'TV' that is your computer screen."

"I don't have a TV Roberto!"

"OK, I'll be right there."

stupid shit like this Happens WAY TOO OFTEN

''Hello, ..... reservations, can i help?''

''Yes, ermmmmmmm, I would like to book a table for 2 people in the ......... for the 12th of July, ermmmmm, let me check the date, one moment.''

''No problem.''

''Yes, it's the 12th of July for 2 people.''

''Sure, what time would you like the table for?''

''Ermmm, the play I think starts at 7:30 pm, so what do you suggest?''

'' I'd say 6:00 pm, it's the popular time slot for people who watch the plays that start at 7:30 pm.''

''That's fine.''

''It'll be one moment, please.''

''Thanks.''

''Right, so that's 2 people at 6:00 pm on the 12th of July in the ........''

''Thanks.''

''Thank you and we'll see you then.''

''Bye.''

''Goodbye.''

"naaa, but the vietnamese kids in the demonstrations certainly did"

"yuck"

"yeah, i know"

"is that hurting"

"no, its not too bad"

"you know a tattoo on your ribs is going to hurt a lot too, maybe not as much as this"

"I've been here less than 24 hours and I've already gotten off with a Deptford special"

Lurker · 05.31.2008, 10:46 AM

I once heard a middle aged man in a suit on the phone saying "Do you remember Mrs (I can't remember the name now)? She had an organ in her back room."

I don't think he realised the sexual innuendo.

Man on the phone, working at a store I was in:
"Just send me the papers or I'm going to get really fucking mad. I'm fucking sick of this, I just want you to send the god damn papers."

Kid I know, talking to some other kid:
Yeah I used to live on the street, I had a big problem with crack."
(That is pure bull by the way...)

My teacher:
"Hey it's me, I'm not feeling well so I wont be coming in today... HAHAHA! Yeah, I'm just kidding. HAHAHA! So do you have any news?"
