I forgot about this little gem I overheard while eating a quick lunch in Wendy's (3rd & 57th). Two ladies in about their late 30s have the following conversation over some fine dinning.
lady 1: so my piece of shit car finally died on me
lady 2: oh yea? that's too bad
lady 1: yea, I'm going to try and find a cheap used one again. who needs a nice car living in Harlem, right?
lady 2: understandable, well if you're going to buy a car make sure it's a Japanese car, only kind I'll trust, I swear by anything like Toyota, Honda, Audi.
lady 1: yea makes sense, I hear only good things about Japanese cars.
whoa, whoa AUDI... das ist ein German auto! Audi does not even sound Japanese! Who is this lady and how, at her age, does she still not know where certain cars are manufactured. Not only do I know where the majority of cars are made, I could name you three beers from each of those countries.

Apparently the iPhone is hard to get...
Yesterday in Starbucks I hear some kid talking on his phone saying how he's been buying 5 iPhones a day and selling them on e-bay for like $500-750!? Hi, no wonder why normies can't buy iPhones if they wanted to because gypsies like this broski are buying them in bulk and selling them on the internet for way more than they're worth.
Simply brilliant, in a terrorist sort of way.

Bad lines, and bad hair apparently...
Few weeks ago I was getting off the subway (the N to be exact) and overheard a group of three guys, probably early 30's. (for the record it was a really hot and humid day, and to be fair the subway is usually hot even in December...)
guy 1: man there's like no air, there's no air. get it guys it's funny, kinda like that song on the radio
guy 2: no, it's not funny because you're adding words
guy 1: well it wasn't funny when you tried adding hair to the top of your head but we laughed anyway then.
Well, that was a pop culture failure, thanks guy.

Daft who...
A few weeks ago I went to Urban Outfitters on my lunch break. I overheard the following conversation while waiting in line to try on my clothes in the fitting room:
(MIA album is playing throughout the store)
16 year old girl: man what is this music? its like techno...
her friend: yea its like daft punk
girl: oh yea def
friend: remember when Kanye West stole that song and no one knew who it was
girl: yea I mean I bet he thought because no one knows who daft punk is that he could just use it and people would think it was him.
***WHAT!??! YEA THAT'S TOTALLY IT
continued convo:
girl: so I can't wait to go to college and buy everything for my dorm here
friend: yea that would be awesome
girl: and I know I def want to go to school in Europe.
friend: oh awesome, you might like the crazy American with all this stuff from Urban
girl: yea I guess haha... but I'm def going to Europe, my mom made go visit over there to get a feel for the country.
friend: that is amazing
girl: yea and the school I looked at Prince William went to. but thats not as good as Prince Henry I'd rather it were him who went there.that might make me change my mind.. I guess I'll just look into NYU
friend: that's what I'm thinking, we should just go to NYU and be roomates.
My brain exploded for sure listening to these girls. OMGZ lets go to NYC together and be roomates because we're BFF 4 LYFE... Or maybe you're not going to college for ANOTHER THREE YEARS!?

London is not a third world country...
So you'll come to find that I spend my mornings before work in Starbucks, whether it be for 2 minutes or 20 minutes. So I hear/see some silly things, the following conversation happened about two months ago during my first week at work.
Lady is in her mid-twenties and she is meeting with her real estate agent (who is the king of bullshit, on the record)
lady: because you know I don't want to be surrounded by frat bros and their yoga moms
real estate: understandable, I wouldn't subject anyone to that
lady: and I mean I lived in London and it wasn't right for me. you don't tip bartenders there and all commerce shuts down by 11pm. I need coffee that late, and worse the pubs close then too. you need a special license to stay open past then and be considered a "club". I mean 11 pm, that's first call in NYC ... its like a whole different country.
**UHH YEA LADY IT IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT COUNTRY ....
she also then went on to explain how she's 10% mexican and to celebrate her heritage she has a cinco de mayo party every year. but this year she had to have it late and just had (this is the beginning of June, FYI) and since it was past the date she called it "cin-faux de mayo"
this lady tore me up inside I have no idea how I didn't laugh out loud while attempting to read my book and get some caffeine going in my blood.
- Sidenote: I had submitted the beginning portion of this conversation to the official overheard in NYC site and it was featured on the site. haha
