Overheard in D.C.: You're a Jerk
Being selfish and jerky can be pretty annoying if you're on the receiving end. But it can be pretty funny if you're not.
Overheard of the Week
At an extremely crowded Caribou Coffee on the corner of 14th and Rhode Island on Tuesday afternoon:
20-something male customer looks for an open seat, approaches another 20-something male customer alone at a two person table.
Guy 1: "Hey do you mind if I sit here?"
Guy 2: "Yeah, actually I do. I need to stretch out."
After the jump, weird people, party ideas, and other good times.
