I don't know if anyone has been watching this (you should). On the website there is a section called "overheard." Here's some of the mad things people have said. There's loads more on the wbsite.
Girl 1: Do you know who I REALLY like? That Steve.
Girl 2: Oooh yes, I know what you mean. He's well nice. You do know he's still in that coma?
Girl 1: Yeah... that's alright though...
In Southport:A mother talking to her son:" Put your hood down so the wind can blow away your dandruff"
At the bottom of Grafton St in Dublin there is a small pedestrian crossing. A couple of years ago my cousin was walking down Grafton St with a mate after work on his way home. As the lights changed, they made that beeping noise - 2 American girls were standing beside them and asked what the noise was. My cousin told them that it was to let blind people know that the lights had changed, to which the American replied "wow, that is so advanced! In America, we don't let our blind people drive!!
Overheard in Central Edinburgh. American tourist looking at the view across the Firth of Forth to Fife, says to his friend "Is that Norway?"
I was sat in the pub the other day. Two women were sat there enjoying a drink.
Lady 1: Ah, i see your glass is empty, would you like another one?
Lady 2: Why would i want two empty glasses?
overhead on a bus...
man 1: im not homophobic neither
man 2: i know, how can anyone be scared of their own house!?!
Heard in an elevator...A young woman opened her handbag and whispered, "have you got enough air in there?"
Overheard on a bus into town...
Girl 1: Did you know that sperm has 450 calories per mouthful?
Girl 2: Oh my God no! Where did you hear that?
Girl 1: On Graham Norton's show the other week.
Girl 2: No wonder I was so fat at uni.
Girl and mum talking in shop: 'Mum, I want to be a midwife. I thought about being a doctor and decided i didn't want to see all that blood'.
Two women meeting on a bus:
First woman: "Buried my mother last week..."
Second woman: "Oh..(pause)she's dead then?"
Man walking down a long corridor ahead of me in work, talking to his wife on his mobile phone and says "is she being naughty"? "do you want me to talk to her"? "ok put her on" "hello Sarah, are you being naughty"? "well listen, you mustn't be naughty because if you are naughty, when you go to sleep tonight, the house will burn down". Evil father
We were in a toy shop in Lowestoft when a woman walked in and asked the cashier "excuse me, do you have any inflatable dart boards?"
Overheard in a cafe:
Woman 1: so you're infertile
Woman 2: yes it's terrible. I think it may run in the family.
In a shop in Glasgow: "Have you seen my birthmark? it just appeared a few weeks ago."
Overheard in the laundry product aisle at Sainsburys: "Well, I don't know if I need starch, I've never ironed a thong!"
I have to add this one:
Two girls on a bus in Mile End:
First Girl: When I go home they say I'm like, well proper cockney
Second Girl: Nah man, we ain't cockney. We speak proper English, innit?
