Overheard in New York that lists all these ridiculous things that you can overhear on the street. Today I heard such a trashtastic and absurd exchange I had to submit it. Here are some examples from the site:
Girl #1: So I think I may have MS.
Girl #2: You are banned from WebMD! Banned I say!
--Green Kitchen, 76th St
Man passing out flyers: Now where do you ladies live?
Girl (whispering): Narnia.
--Times Square
Regular mom: What's your son's name?
Wealthy Tribeca mom: E-berry.
Regular mom: Excuse me?
Wealthy Tribeca mom: E-berry. We wanted our son to be unique.
Regular mom, grabbing son and leaving: Come on, Thomas.
--Washington Market Park
Teenager: I don't know if I would wear a fur coat, ever.
Friend: I know I would, just as long as it wasn't raccoon...raccoons are just gross.
Hobo with heavy Russian accent: In mother Russia raccoon wear you!
--LIRR
(dad playing with little kids on slide, son screams)
Mom: Just a minute, honey, daddy is too busy playing with other people's children.
Dad (coming over to son): And mommy is too busy being passive aggressive.
--Central Park Playground
Conductor: Hello, and welcome to the Hogwarts Express. This is platform 9 3/4, and we will be leaving shortly for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Preteen holding Harry Potter book, to suit holding Harry Potter book: Oh my god! I knew they would come for me!
Suit holding Harry Potter book, to himself: I did too.
--C Train
Bum doing the robot: Zzzzzzz robot, zzzzzzz whirrr whirr, doing the robot.
Cop passing by, over car loudspeaker: That is the worst robot I've ever seen.
(crowd cheers)
--Times Square
Here’s what I submitted:
Trashy Jersey Man: That guy is such a jerk to his wife.
Trashy Jersey Woman: Yeah one time I peed myself in his car just to make him mad. I told him, “I just peed in your car.” He was mad.
Trashy Jersey Man: That was a good idea. Or you could have busted his face with a bottle.
--2 Train
Several of us who were standing near them started laughing out loud at this.

LOL Those are hilarious! I am going to have to check out that site.
The C train is my favorite.
Once I was waiting on the platform at 116th and there was this homeless crazy looking guy who was shouting that he was from the planet Zeggron and that he was here to study us humans. As he shouted this, he was running up to people and scaring them by getting very close. I was scary and very funny.
