Welcome back to Overheard in D.C., DCist’s weekly column of funny, strange, and poignant things that our readers and staff overhear and send in. We’ve been doing it since 2006. Check out the archives here.

We can’t have Overheard in D.C. without your submissions! Email your Overheards to overheard(at)dcist[dot]com and don’t forget to include who was talking, to whom, and in what context.

We are now also taking submissions for eavesdropping on video conferencing calls and all of the other newfangled ways we’re staying in touch. 

Overheard of the Week: 

Five 20-somethings talking about the imploded Titan submersible over dinner: 

One guy says to the rest: “It’s like the Spirit Airlines of submarines.”

Taking guesses on what book he snagged

Couple in their 30s walking out of Solid State Books on H Street on a Saturday morning:

Him: “Yeah, I mean the socialists have their problems too.”

POV: The Supreme Court handing down yet another atrocious ruling 

Four post-brunch drunk 20-somethings, talking loudly and stumbling down P Streeet. Woman awkwardly tries to get around them.

One of them, laughing as the woman passes: “Sorry, this is what happens when Ivy League grads get together!”

A-fucking-men

On a Georgia Avenue bus traveling south. Early on a bright, sticky Saturday afternoon. Woman in her early 50s with a scratchy voice, at the end of a meandering sermon only she and her God might understand:

“Praise the mu-fuckin Lord!”

Who’s to say they’re regular

Late afternoon at The Wharf on a Sunday, buying tickets for the water taxi. Late 20s or early thirties man, looking at the cashier and then his family:

“Two senior citizen tickets and three … regular person tickets, please.”

Speak your truth

Woman on the phone during a morning Blue Line commute:

“I don’t like it. It doesn’t bring me any kind of joy … just very perfectionist about it and keeps sending me YouTube videos to watch and it’s not funny.”

As always, we rely on you to overhear the good stuff and send it our way. Make sure to tell us who was speaking to whom and in what context.
