Overheard snippets of conversation which made me smile recently
At a local cricket match :
Woman to her friend: "Have you seen X since you broke up?"
Friend: "Well, he is now a she. I saw him - or her - in Aldi the other day wearing a sun-dress and lipstick. [pause] But he still services his wife."
.
[Yorkshire-folk are obviously much less conformist than I imagined!]
At a local garden centre:
Old man: "We'll be queue-ing for hours, and a cup of tea costs a fortune. We can have some at home. The garden'll be full of kids. It's going to rain. I haven't brought my warm coat..."
Old woman: "For Christ's sake, shut the fuck up!"
[So, old ladies do swear after all!]
At a local cafe:
One waitress was on her lunch break and was eating a salad at a table in the corner. Another waitress walked past and said, with a disapproving voice: 'You're being very healthy, aren't you?'
To which the first waitress responded, with an apologetic shrug: 'I'm going out for tea later.'
[Think about this - one waitress disapproved of the other's healthy eating, and the other was apologetic about it!!! No wonder Type-2 diabetes is on the increase!]
Oh Lou, I read these out to my other half and we were in hysterics.

I was just astonished and found them funny - I don't make a habit of listening in to other people's conversations, but these people were talking really loudly so you couldn't really avoid hearing them.
