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: yea I mean i'm looking for something that is a fit for me, ya know you're either an east side girl or a west side girl... theres really no inbetween

real estate: right right, I understand thats why I'm here

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
