Overheard in DC

on the metro with Nell when we caught this exchange between an aggressive lawyer type and an older woman with too much rouge.

Old lady: Are you sure we are meant to go this way

Lawyer type: Yes for the fifth time, just trust me.

They got off the train and he began yelling at her to follow him, but she instead turned to Nell and asked which way 22nd was, and Nell directed her in the opposite direction of her companion. I asked if they were together because they were going to get separated.

Old Lady: He is only an acquaintance, and a real jerk. Ladies let me tell you, don't date a man unless you know his type. That guy is not a good date.

She then thanked us for the directions and headed in that direction. I looked back to see the aggressive lawyer stomping his feet, shaking his head and begrudgingly following at a distance.
