Overheard on the Tube and New York subway
In my Internet travels, I've run across a couple of Web sites with overheard conversation and things observed from both sides of the Pond.
Tube Gossip has some unusual and succinct overheard sentences, including: "He was hospitalized for falling up a flight of stairs... it's unusual, at least." And: "She's not going to believe you. I don't believe you and I was there."
Not to be outdone, New Yorkers have their own site, Overheard in New York. Many of the stories are from the subways, but some are not. It's still worth a look for converstation snatches such as this:
"Ghetto chick: She went by and shoved me and was like "Ex-cuse me!", but not like "excuse me", you know? So she had this long hair? Well, I grabbed her by the hair, flung her down the stairs, and started kicking her ass. I'll fight anybody." Hear on the D train.
