People

A few random quotes from random people in a local restaurant with local customers:

"They can't pull you over until they catch you." -- Yes, and they can't catch you until they get you pulled over -- or at least stopped.

"Those BASTARD MOTHERFUCKERS! I'm sorry, was that rude?" -- (that depends on how you look at it, I suppose)

Person A: She's too spoiled to not demand allowance. (give me a sec to break that one down)
Person B: Good for her! (Yes, good for her -- because one who is spoiled should naturally recieve more spoiling)

Person A': I'm in my pajamas, you still like me?
Person B': *grumble* *grunt* I take 'em ANY WAY I CAN GET 'EM, heh heh. (any way? yikes.)

Person A'': I'm no man... I'm just a guy. No more, no less, I'm just a guy.
Person B'': You're a guy?

"This pie is workin' me like a dog". (... and how exactly does the dog work you? Please tell me what kind of pie that is, so I don't order it.)

Having gone to read and drink coffee, I couldn't help but pick up on various tidbits of conversation around me. After becoming unable to concentrate on the book in front of me, I took it upon myself to take notes now and then. People and their various manners of living (or personal 'philosophies', if you will) have always interested me, and I tend to frequent this particular restaurant solely because the general customer demographic is composed of many different folks with many different strokes. Most conversations consist of strange tales and/or the hashing out of real life problems (can't pay the bills, someone cheated on their spouse, someone's going to jail... etc. -- why is this interesting to me? Well, that's another post for another day.) Contrast this with a crowd at Applebees-- *warning* *hasty generalization in effect*--, where conversation fills the room to the tune of Margaritas, Bud-Light, and College Football. This can also be interesting, but in a weird alternative-universe kind of way.
