As we all know, D.C. can be a strange place. People talk about things they don’t elsewhere, they work in jobs that don’t exist elsewhere, and the level of dialogue is totally different from, say, Nashville or Boise. And as it turns out, that can even lend itself to pretty hilarious couples’ arguments.

Overheard of the Week

In the Gallery Place movie theater concessions line last Friday:

A mid-to-late 30s couple is arguing because the woman picked an early movie so they didn’t have time to eat dinner.

Man: “You just never listen to me.”
Woman: “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize.”
Man: “Well next time why don’t I just put up a notice of negotiated rulemaking with 15 pages of public comment!” (storms off to sit sullenly on a bench)

After the jump, cherry blossoms, tourists, and college kids. A perfect storm.
