[Aug. 11th, 2011|12:31 pm] |
Overheard in one Ashburton Place (State building) on Beacon Hill:
Little girl: Daddy! You walk too fast, I keep stepping on my dress!
Dad (wearing a suit, walking around the corner): Well maybe if you were wearing the dress instead of carrying it, that wouldn't happen.
Little girl: I'm already dressed!
Dad: I can walk fast because I wear appropriate clothing for being in public and I left my bathing suit at home.
At this point little girl walks around the corner in a bikini and flip flops while dragging a dress on the ground. |

Girl 1: What the hell is that thing? *gesturing to my Kindle*
Girl 2: It's a Kindle.
Girl 1: A what?
Girl 2: A Kindle. You read books on it.
Girl 1: It doesn't look very technological. Can you even get the internet on it?
Girl 2: Sort of. You can read newspapers and stuff, too.
Girl 1: What the hell's the point? If I can't get on Facebook, it's not worth it. |

The Scene: Young couple, each with a rolling suitcase and a backpack, rubber-necking along the clean and orderly Davis T platform. Plumtreeblossom silently reads her Metro and eavesdrops.
Woman: What the fuck? This place is fucking disgusting!
Man: Fuck this.
MBTA: Attention passengers; the next Red Line train to Alewife is now approaching.
Man: What the fuck is Alewife?
(pause)
Man: Fuck Boston. This is such fucking bullshit.
Woman: I'm not fucking sitting on that gross bench.
MBTA: Attention passengers; the next Red Line train to Alewife is now arriving.
Man: Fuck Alewife, that's not the South Station train.
*******
I'm guessing they're not from around here. Hopefully, they won't ever need to come back. :-) |

Actually overheard in Somerville on 8/8. A friend and myself were walking-by a set of people sitting in lawn chairs on the sidewalk and a guy was saying, I'll smoke weed by my landlord, I'll smoke weed with my landlord, I'll smoke weed on top of my landlord. |
