For whatever reason, almost everybody heard things on the Metro or the bus this week. Maybe everybody was taking public transit instead of driving, or everybody was in a weird mood, but a lot of odd things came from our beloved and behated system. (Why isn’t behated a word, anyway?)

In any case, here’s this gem. Maybe he’s talking about something else…

Overheard of the Week

On the Red line towards Shady Grove, at or about Brookland-CUA, Tuesday about 11 a.m.:

A male and female WMATA bus driver are talking.

WMATA Bus Driver Woman: (referring to bottle of pills Bus Driver Man is holding and shaking like a rattle) “What do you have those for?”
WMATA Bus Driver Man: “When I start to dose off, I take one of these and I’m good to go.”

After the jump, more Metro, questionable dating, and other random stuff. As always, Overheard needs you to survive! Send in your Overheards, plus who said it, where, and when — that way, we won’t have to email you back asking for more info!
