Overheard in the Office

Posted by Brendan Kiley on Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 2:55 PM

A [a lady]: May I have one of your vitamins?

B [a gentleman]: Yes, but they're men's vitamins. They might give you manly qualities.

A: Give me one—maybe I'll start making more money.

Pretty sharp. Very Dorothy Parker.

My favorite "overheard" conversation was one my college roommate heard in a movie theater:

Elderly Mother: Is that Donald Sutherland?
Son: No, mom, that's his son, Keifer.
Elderly Mother: Well, he doesn't look a thing like his father.

True story.

Only slightly outdone by a supposedly true tale of two boys on a playground.

One little guy: Let's play house!
Other little fella: OK, you be the mommy: BEND OVER!

Best/Worst observed and heard at the Magnolia Thriftway; a woman spanking her toddler while saying "we don't hit!"... the husband had to physically drag me away before I spanked her cause ya know, "we dont hit"... OMG I am still pissed about that one.

Excellent.

Mind you, in Vermont, women make more than men.

Probably cause they have gay marriage and we don't?

Fuck that. Women should be paid less just because they all feel entitled to maternity leave; on our bill. Fuck that shit right in the ear.

I knew a woman with hairy nipples. She made damn good money as well.

The wage gap is a myth.
