People in D.C. seem to be in quite the mood lately: maybe it’s getting warmer and people are getting more open. Whatever it is, there’s a lot of weird stuff going down.

Overheard of the Week

A drunken Congressman is on the Yellow Line from King Street a few Wednesday nights ago with two of his drunken staffers:

Staffer 1: “If we’re going to McPherson Square, should we transfer to the Blue line and go through Arlington, or transfer at L’Enfant?”
Staffer 2: “Probably transfer, should switch over to the Blue.”
Congressman (in reference to the obese mid-20s African-American woman sitting across from them): “Why? We’ve got such good company with Beyonce here!”

(The submitter said they recognized the Congressman from TV.)

After the jump: important stuff for kids to tell everyone, and lots of sex.

Overheard in D.C. relies on you, the good readers, to send in the good stuff when you hear it. Please make sure to tell us when it was, who said it, and where, or else we’ll have to email you back and ask.

Saturday afternoon in a bar on Columbia Pike:

Patron asks bartender for her dating advice: “I went on a date with a nice girl this week. After dinner, we went to a bar to have another drink. I got up to go to the bathroom and left my iPhone on the table. While I was in the bathroom, a friend texted me ‘have you stuck it in her butt yet?’ The girl hasn’t called me back yet. Do you have any suggestions?”

About midnight on 14th Street:

An SUV full of people is on the street. A mid-twenties girl runs out of restaurant and yells to people (maybe friends) in car:

“Y’all gonna fuck without me?!”
