"Over Heard in New York"

So while being my usual jobless self today, I was going through some of my very, very oldbookmarks, and stumbled on a site called Over Heard in New York | The Voice of the City. I had completely forgotten about how AWESOME this page was!!!

Basically the site consists of conversations that people overhear in the City. Some of them are sooo funny, it makes my stomach hurt. Here are a few of my favorite quotes:

1. Bus driver: Everyone get on the bus, I got a schedule. For those of you sneaking on in the back, can you at least do it fast? I’ve got places to be.
–on the B45 Bus

2. Conductor: This train is very crowded. If you cannot fit, please step back and wait for the next train. If you manage to get onto this very crowded train, look at the person next to you and tell them, “Howdy!”

–Queens bound F train

3.

Coworker #1: So what’ve you been up to?
Coworker #2: The usual. Just whacked off.
Coworker #1: Dude, you’re on speakerphone.
–Office, Midtown

4. Sassy flight attendant: In the event of a loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will be released from the overhead above your seat. After the screaming subsides, please place the oxygen mask around your nose and mouth. If you are traveling with a child or an adult who is acting like a child, place your mask on first before attempting to help put theirs on.
–Flight out of LaGuardia

5. Small child, trying a Sprite: I don’t like it.
Dad: If you don’t like the taste, just spit it out.
Mom: I’ve heard that one before.
–33rd & 7th

Lots more where those came from… I hope you’ll enjoy them as much as I did! They’ve revamped the site since I was last there, and its looking better now…

Happy reading
