Here's the deal--I love eavesdropping. Not in a manipulative way, just in an observant way. Like standing in line at the grocery store or sitting across from a group of people at a restaurant. I've picked up some great lines just listening to people interact with others. It seems that when I'm by myself, I hear the best stuff. It's as if since I'm alone and not talking, I also don't have the ability to listen. Oh, but I do. I really have to start writing this stuff down, but here are a few of my favorites from recent memory:
- "She failed her drug test. Again." (In line at the local Wal-Mart.)
- "You don't want to marry her. She's crazy. Just keep her around to feel her fake boobs." (Except "boobs" was really another word I can't bring myself to type.)
- "I'll have everything...and jalapenos." (Overheard at a Quizno's. I don't know why, but this line cracks me up. Big boy REALLY wanted to get those jalapenos.)
- "You know that guy? I owe him like $60 bucks! I know him through drinking...and bowling." (So you know him through drinking and more drinking?)

How about this one, "I was reading this blog and I wanted to kill myself."
You should change the name of this blog to most of the time nothing.
