Interesting conversations you've overheard

[CEDmom]

I was in the frozen food section of Wegman's today and over heard an interesting conversation between a customer and an employee.

customer: They're quite frightening aren't they
employee: Many are but the prisons I worked at weren't too bad

I really wanted to stick around for the rest of it but I had ice cream that was melting.

So what interesting conversations have you overheard recently?

I don't know if this counts or not but....

I was in McDonald's one day and one of the cashiers dropped a milkshake on the floor, so while they were cleaning it up another one falls on her bum. Well she gets up, tries to get up, and limps away. The manager was like "Are you ok?" And someone in the kitchen yells, "FILE FOR WORKMAN'S COMP!" And then the manager screamed (and I mean in a bad way) "DO NOT FILE WORKMAN'S COMP!"

I heard someone in McDonalds today talking about checking out airline fares from Houston to go to WDW. As soon as she said Walt Disney World, my ears perked up. I couldn't help but, listen in. She was saying it was too much trouble to fly and lug around all the car seats and luggage and wait two hours.

I agree with her. It's just easier to drive.

What's up with all these interesting conversations overheard at McDonalds?!

This reminds me of an old boyfriend of mine and his friends, who would often loudly say random things to each other in public, just to see the look on other people's faces.

Most often, it was, "So Greg, when does your dad get out of prison?"

can't really discuss it here...but how she ever was able to sit down I still can't figure it out

This isnt one conversation I overheard but this happens plenty of times.

You are at a store and the employees are complaining about someone or something at their job in front of customers--sometimes TO the customer!

I think that is just rude and out of place!

I like walking up to my husband and saying "So, how did you sneak out of the house tonight without that old bat wife of yours finding out?"



Another fun one is while shopping with a friend waiting to check out, the minute they pull out their credit card I ask "Is that the best name you could come up with"????
This usually gets the cashier to ask for an additional form of ID!!!

I overheard a lady telling everyone with her (we were at a restaurant and she was at the table next to us) about how she extends things with water. She puts water in orange juice, ketchup, milk, etc. to make more. Very interesting.

I work at a college and I heard this from a young woman when I was coming out of my office building today, "Don't you remember when you called and asked what I was doing and I told you I was changing the trash bag? Well, it was in THAT trash bag." If I hadn't been in a hurry, I'd have stopped to ask what was in the trash bag because by then I was really wondering.

I also hear a lot of interesting conversations between young college girls when I'm in the ladies room. I think they get a little freaked out when they realize that teachers and office staff use the bathroom, too.

My cousin and I used to have this conversation and really freak people out on purpose. I have now taught it to daughter and her best friend

#1 says "Blackbirds?"
#2 says "Shot who?!?
#1 says "In the head."
#2 says "With what?."
#1 says "Can't dance."
#2 says "Never could."
#1 says "Didn't think so!"


Okay, on paper...not so funny.
But in real life, very

I was in the check out line at a local grocery store-the cashier was talking to the bagger about another employee. The bagger started talking about getting in a fight in the parking lot with him and that he had keyed his car to get back at him. I was shocked-what if i had been a cop . Needless to say i try not to go there often.

My dad had a minor heart attack when we were in high school. We were terrified that he might have another and that we would lose him (he is now just over 80 years old ). He carried the little nitro pills (called dynamite by the doctors) everywhere he went. We were flying to Virginia for a family vacation, and while checking in at the airport, my mother suddenly grabbed Dad's arm and said, "Mike! Did you pack the dynamite!??" The airline rep's eyes popped, and he laughed when Mom and Dad explained what they were talking about and showed him the prescription bottle. This was 35 years ago, and admittedly this would not get a chuckle now!

I've probably been the source of people shaking their heads.

Some time ago, I started asking my 4-year-old niece, "Guess what?" When she says, "What?", I always reply "Chicken snot!"

It's a game we play, but now we try to trick each other to say "What?" so we can yell "Chicken snot!"

She seems to like trying to sneak up on me in the store to yell it.

A little OT (ok a lot off topic) but what Wegmans were you in?

A college aged gal talking on the phone to someone while walking and shopping in Office Depot with her mom how Target is bare. .."there's nothing there" she says.

Doesn't she know about Target markdowns and that Halloween stuff is out now?

We do this exact same thing, but we say - Chicken Butt!!!!!!
