I’m sure we have all overheard or come across people who have said some really strange things. If you haven’t, then you’re probably one of those people who says very strange things.
Anyway, here is a list of things I have overheard, or that people have said to me… Things that I found very odd.
“Can I have three 2in sub sandwiches please?” - I was in line at Subway and the woman in front of me asked this of the “Sandwich Artist”. After much puzzlement he complied and began to load the meats on to a single 6in loaf, presuming he could cut it up once fully loaded. She then demanded that he could pre-cut it in to 2in increments before adding the meat. I thought that maybe she has kids, or who knows what, but when I went to find my seat, there she was, all alone, methodically eating each slivery sandwich one bite at a time. I actually twitted about this awhile ago.
“Does this stimulate the lower labia, or the clit or something… I just don’t get it” - Ok, I don’t frequent sex shops often, I swear, but I once overheard some really strange kid walking around a sex shop with a very peculiar looking dildo in his hand asking women how it was supposed to work.
“If you come back to my rig with me, wink*, I can show you” - This is not so much strange as it is creepy, when put into context. About five years ago I was driving down to Florida and stopped at a rest stop around midnight. Stretched my legs, hit the can where there was some odd guy eyeballing me. Walking out, he followed me to the huge map of the current state we were in. I wanted to get a rough estimate of where I was. “Need a map” he inquired. “No, this one’s fine”. Then he hit me with the line above. He kept pushing me to come back to his 18-wheeler with him, I kept imaging my throat getting slit or being chopped up into little pieces.
FYI: I just came across this site, overheardinnewyork.com, which has a post everyday of strange things overheard in New York.
