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.

Overheard at the Armory Show- NYC
got a VIP pass from Paul, so I could do some shameless eavesdropping in the lounge. I wasn't seated long before I caught this gem between a trio of fair goers. Two women and one man, they were Mexican, Spanish something Latin. And the man was very debonair. The women were tacky Latin. You know the type, overly blonde, pastel outfits and gaudy jewelry. He was clearly the star.
Mr. D. : Hola ladies, how are you enjoying the fair?
TL1: O (name I missed) I thought we might see you, bueno bueno... como este?
Mr. D. : I just got in from Mexico City yesterday. I went to Pulse and Volta yesterday.
TL2: And how was it?
Mr. D.: Not at good as Mexico. My son is there for the season, so i was down for three weeks, and I am going to the estate (yes he said estate) on the weekend.
TL1: I was wondering, so you don't stay in Mexico all winter.
Mr. D: No no just Julio, he hates the cold. So what do you think of the fair?
TL1: It's ok. You?
Mr. D.: um hum, nut I am glad to be back in the city. I am going to the townhouse this evening and then out to the estate on Saturday, well adios ladies.

Overheard @ Timmy Ho Hos
Yesterday I was grabbing my third coffee of the morning, still trying to shake a rather debilitating hangover from the day before (persistent little fucker). I'm standing inside Tim Hortons waiting in line and I overhear this charming exchange between two friends leaving the coffee shop.
Both are blond/hot/fun looking
Babe#1: I really don't understand what she sees in him (presumably talking about another friend)
Babe#2: I know, I mean that whole skinny dude thing is just not for me.
Babe#1: The next time I have sex...and I mean, who knows when that will be...but I want a big strong man. I need a bear. I am definitely the type of girl who needs a BIG man.
At this point, a BIG Burly homeless man passes them in the door way... snort/chuckles at overhearing this conversation while he gives them a knowing look.

Overheard @ The LCBO
So pretty much everyday I buy a bottle of wine. We now refer to them as 'bow's' because saying the three full words...bottle of wine as often as it is referred to in one day can cut into time that might be spent actually drinking it, or being leisurely and boozy in general. I digress.
There I am, minding my own business at the liquor store at Yonge and Dundas on my way to Liza's for some wine drinking when I overhear...
two gay dudes (One hot, One not) conversing near the entrance.
Hot Mo: So I really don't understand how she didn't know...
Not Mo: That's crazy! I mean, is she blind? or dumb? or both? (chuckles)
Hot Mo: well I want you to know that I really didn't mean to lead her on. She just came up to me at the end of the night and kissed me! I swear! i didn't understand how she thought that was ok!
Not Mo: Are you sure she wasn't just drunk and going for your cheek?
Hot Mo: (offended) Absolutely not! it was a definite full on lip kiss...here...I'll show you what she did.
They proceed to make out for as long as is relatively appropriate/kinda cute in public while I'll slither away with my boyfriend, $7.55 bow.

Overhear @ the Mod Club
Last night Al took me to the Flosstradmus show at the Mod Club. The show was a bit of a let down, but there was some real entertainment in the crowd. We we're chilling in the VIP with one of the promoters, I am gonna call him the Tiny Mogul, because of his stature. Anyway he was being stalked by a tall, skinny, cokeate, we'll call her Coke-eyes. I guess he said something disparaging about her outfit, which from a far wasn't so bad but up close was all kinds of fug. Well she didn't take to kindly to that and she let it be known. Here is what I caught.
Coke-eyes : what are you talking about
T-Mogul : well let's get Nikita over here and ask her what she thinks.
Coke-eyes: what fuck that bitch. I hate fucking Nikita
T-Mogul pulled her quickly to his side and said intensely: I don't like what you are saying right now, do you hear me. No, do you understand.
Coke-eyes responded with something I didn't hear.
T-Mogul: No I just don't think that they match, I mean you look good, but you are the one who is so into fashion. I am just saying your those (motions to the brown boots) don't match your dress. But I'd still fuck you in them.
I was horrified, OMG this could put our little Cokehead over the top, but to my shock she seemed totally nullified by this revelation, and all was right in the world. She sauntered off to the powder room.
I saw her again later and she was smiling at a friend, but then suddenly her coke-eyes grew stormy and she bellowed.
Coke-eyes: NO, LISTEN TO ME. Don't FUCK with me.
Yikes, no problem.
