Overheard in New York
I used to live in New York, and I loved it, it was wild. New Yorkers are unlike any other population in the world, and they say the damndest things. Shortly after I moved to Boston, I made a waitress cry, and I realized I was probably going to have to tone down the aggression some.
There’s a site called Overheard in New York that is hilarious. Here are three recent posts that I thought you might like:
But Possibly Also Because I Keep Getting Crabs
Barnard girl #1: I was at this party, and there was this guy, but I promised myself I would stop hooking up with strangers.
Barnard girl #2: Right.
Barnard girl #1: But, like, I still don’t understand why it’s bad to hook up with strangers all the time.
Barnard girl #2: Maybe it’s because you’re, like, using each other’s bodies.
Barnard girl #1: Maybe.

It’s Like a Blessing from God
Woman to guy, about guys making moves on drunk girls they are friends with: So, why do you guys do something like that? It never works.
Guy: Sure, 9 times out of 10 it doesn’t work, but that one time you score.
Woman: But aren’t those other 9 times really awkward and damaging to your friendship?
Guy: Yeah, but there’s that one time where you get sex you really weren’t expecting!

Learned All About That in College
Woman #1: So, you ever have one of your guy friends crash at your place and then try to make a move on you?
Woman #2: Of course.
Woman #1: I mean, I’m in my bed and he’s in the living room on the couch, and suddenly he’s there trying to kiss me and slip his hand up my shirt. I was like, “What the hell, dude, I thought you were gay!”
Woman #2: I know. I always kick them out, right there and then.
Woman #3: But sometimes, I’m so drunk, I just go with it, you know?
