Photo by NCinDCLots of things are great, others are terrible and some are just not too bad. But having an STD seems like it would be pretty crappy, you know? Not according to one person that our corps of eavesdroppers managed to overhear this week, though.
Overheard of the Week
At L’Enfant Plaza waiting for the Orange line to Vienna, around 8:30 p.m. Saturday:
20-something guy speaking with 20-something girl: “Yeah, I’ve had Herpes a couple of times. I didn’t think it was so bad.”
After the jump, the DMV, famous marathons, and a lot of sexy time.
As always, Overheard in D.C. relies on you to hear the good stuff and send it in to our special Overheard in D.C. email address. And please tell us the context: who, what, when, where and all that. Otherwise we’ll just have to email you back to ask.

Mom skill: bluff-calling
At the DMV:
Mom: “You’re asking for too much for your birthday. I’m not getting you a $150 puppy. “
Kid: “If you don’t get me a puppy… “
Mom: “What?”
Kid: “If you don’t get me a puppy, I’m going to leave this family. “
Mom: “Ok, it’s just going to be you and that puppy then.”

Yes, yes it is
On the 92 bus:
Woman on her cellphone: “If he were just my cousin, I’d definitely snatch him up. But his dad and my dad are twin brothers. That’s too close.”

You fight breast cancer and get a dollar coin
Saturday morning at the Columbia Heights Starbucks:
A woman in her early 20s is talking to two friends: “They had the breast cancer marathon today…the Susan B. Anthony.”
A minute later, a little sadly: “I wish I had known about the Susan B. Anthony!”

What a weird dentist!
In Woodley Park on Sunday afternoon:
A conversation fragment while a couple is crossing the street.
“A rectal scan?”
“No, a retina scan.”

Or that you’re talking about it?
After the Danzig show at the Fillmore Silver Spring, heading backstage to meet the band:
Metal-ish dude says to no-one in particular: “Does anyone else think it’s weird that my girlfriend is getting
f*cked tonight, just not by me?”

Say what you want about DMV staff, in this case they are awesome
At the 3rd and C DMV on Thursday afternoon:
Mid 20s guy: “What? I didn’t even know my license was suspended.”
Clerk: “Sir, open your mail. It’ll make you know things.”

Maybe he went to the same dentist as above
At P and 16th:
A middle-aged woman, maybe late 40s, walking with another woman of a similar age: “I don’t mind that he likes me to peg him. I mind that he bought a bigger dildo for it than his c*ck. He should NOT be getting bigger and more than I am! I’m definitely supposed to be getting the most c*ck in this relationship!”

Let’s hope this makes the family photo album
Thursday night, around 11 pm on the Orange line to Vienna:
Drunk guy in his mid-late 20s, with sleeves rolled up & tie loosened, looks like he’s heading home from a bar. He falls asleep a few times, but wakes up and notices a tourist family discussing how many more stops they have to go. Mom has a camera with the strap around her neck in classic tourist fashion.
Drunk man (slurred speech): “Would you like a picture?”
Mom: “No thanks, we’re ok.”
Drunk man: “No, would you like a picture of me.”
(Guy now with a huge drunk grin & eyes half open.)
Mom: “Oh, I thought you meant to take a picture of us. Well, sure, I’ll take your picture, honey.”
Mom then proceeds to humor him.
