Overheard in D.C.: Why Can't We Go To Paris, Too?

eiffeltower.jpgDCist's regular Overheard editor is too busy enjoying her kid-free Paris vacation to amuse readers today, so I've had to pick up the slack. Call us cynical if you want, but we're filing this week's Quote of the Week under the "Ain't it the Truth" category of humor.

As always, if you happen to overhear something amusing, for god sake's, don't keep it to yourself! Send it in to overheardindc (at) gmail (dot) com.

Quote of the Week:
Liquor store at South Dakota Avenue and Riggs Road:

Clerk: You know, you win $300 million, your enemies gonna be your best friends, but your family gonna be your worst enemies.
Elderly Woman: They already are.

Man on cell phone, corner of 15th and U, NW:
"I came up here to meet with that girl I met at the gas station... Gonna see how big that booty is."
------

Across the street from the Farragut North metro stop:

Co-worker #1: How is your new employee?
Co-worker #2: She's good. She's really good. [pause] 'Cept for the halitosis.
------
At The Go! Team Show at Black Cat

Before the show starts, at the far left of the stage:
Girl (whiny): Man, I hate this side! The other side is so much better. Let's go over there!
Guy: (impatient): Fine, I'll stay here, and you go over there and check it out.
Girl: (affronted): Geez, it's not like I'm going over there to have sex or anything!
------

A law office downtown:

Lawyer #1: So you're going to Paris next week? Have you bought your train tickets to Brussels?
Lawyer #2: No, not yet. I was going to check out the schedules when I got there.
Lawyer #1: Just look it up online. It's called Eurotrash.
Lawyer #2: ...
Lawyer #1: Uh, um. I mean, Eurostar. Eurostar.

DSW in Pentagon Row on a crowded Sunday afternoon:

Girl 1 is complaining about buying shoes
Girl 2: (loudly) "At least you're not a shoe whore like me."

Overheard in DC should not be a weekly feature. Maybe bi-weekly. Maybe.

 

!!!!

I was girl #1 in the DSW outing. So weird...

 

I was girl no. 2!

And it's true: I AM a shoe whore. Spank me!
