Actual Overheard Morning Commute Conversation Moments
Thursday, March 12, 2009 at 3:13AM Things I'm perhaps better off not knowing the context of:
1) "It was a giant marshmallow. And she ate it."
2) "So my wife and I decided that is the last time we store weed in the microwave while staying at a hotel."
3) "I don't have the nerve to tell her about the pretzels. You have to do it."
4) "...And so I said, 'You know, I have a right to do the PowerPoint slides. I have a right!' And then he laughed at me, can you believe it?"
5) "She doesn't know that I know, but I do know that he was there, and he knows it." (grave pause) "I hope I haven't burdened you."

Just guessing, 4 of 5 comments made by women?
Nice - very nice - isn't it amazing how anyone on a cell phone thinks the conversation is private? I've actually taken to asking questions and offering comments on really interesting conversations. I don't consider it rudeness on my part, as I'm just participating in the discussion that was obviously public to start with! :-D I've also found that if you do it to one person in a crowd, for some reason all the cell phone conversations for the next hour or so are muted
LOL - oops, my mistake MB. I guess I'm guilty of reading what I wanted to see, instead of what you'd actually written? I apologize! (i.e. no mention of cellular conversation in YOUR article?) Wow - coffee must be decaf this morning!
I see you're having fun on the train!!!! hahahahaha
I once heard ENTIRELY way too much about a guy and his divorce and how his wife was taking EVERYTHING and every *#($&@(* name he called her. (Cell phone call, AG.)
Remember, that's what you have an ipod/mp3 player/discman and headphones for!!! :)
Pulitzer material you're exposed to. Just absorb it, digest it, and break it down into chapters ;-)
That's awesome! I think I'll start doing that! You're sooo right. People just have no clue. What, do they think they're in some kind of bubble???
