Conversations - overheard and taken completely out of context for our general amusement

I have trouble believing that all of the Americans quoted just happened to say "like" in the middle of your quotes.

Maybe I just hang out with the wrong (right?) people.

Heard on Market Street a few years ago while I was listening out of a flat window,

"I just like long feet, it's not a fetish!"

Sadly not overheard, but it could have been ... a discussion of how to summon a person into one's room after they knock -- do you go for "come in", "yes", the rather school-master "Come!", or what? So they were tested, and the line was,

"So you prefer Alex's 'come'?"

In Tesco

'I'm just ... not in the mood to be disappointed by ice cream today.'

In the changing rooms of H&M Dundee:

Girl 1: Oh look - I've got a ladybird on my arm. Are there ladybirds in Pakistan?
Girl 2: Yes.
Girl 1: Are they red?

I had to bite my fist to stop from laughing out loud.

"There are not very many desires in life which we can actually meet. For instance, 'I want to meet the love of my life'. Probably not today! But 'I want a cup of coffee.' That I can do!" Chris Thile (Nickel Creek)

I assassin down the avenue.

'It's a sad day. I just flushed Vinegar'

[flarewearer]

Overheard (and observed) in Waverley station;

Fat drunken slag : Hoi officer, can you tells us the way tae espionage?
Policeman : Sorry, I can't help you there.
Fat Drunken slag : Howz abouts if ah show you mah tits?

*flashes policeman*

Actually, you coudln't really take that the wrong way, it was both humorous and vaguely disgusting at the same time.

If this was a coupla weeks ago in the evening, it may well have been me. I did have a very deep conversation regarding ice-cream in Tesco.

[sabra_girl]

Oh Bonnie you're no fun P

It was more the way it was asked - like she was expecting the other girl to go, 'No, they're purple!'

Heard some beauties out of my window last night as well but sadly the escape me currently.

Right now, just outside my window on North Street.

"I've only got 4 johnnies, if I come back with 3 you'll know I've ridden her like a fucking dick, aye?"

Aye, charming.

Overheard in Semi-Chem during the closing down sale:

Teenager: "Mum, how much is 50% off?"

[sweet]

Eleven year old girl one trotting to school with her mates:
"It's, like, rubbish when she hits you like once and you just stop and walk away"

Eleven year old girl two:
"Yeah whenever I start a fight, like, I expect a PROPER fight"

Gave me a mental image of her trotting off having collected the scalp of her enemy...
