Fast and cheap thoughts from the interwebs

Things I have overheard at Borders on a Monday afternoon


-A man yelling “RUG! Like on your floor!” into his cell phone

-A small, well-put-together middle-aged woman freaking out to her friend about some kind of job-related drama

-An Indian guy in scrubs explaining to his dad why he does NOT want to be a surgeon (it’s boring and takes too long). He likes anesthesiology.

-A red-haired mother and her red-haired son discussing the science fair.

-A really obnoxious fifty-something man going on and on to his companion about political and world affairs.

-A girl complaining on her cell phone about how she is too busy to go out with a friend, and said friend’s priorities are off, and this girl’s priorities are on, because she is prioritizing important things.
