"It must be so sad to be a lady with a flower stand. People buying flowers for their girlfriends all day, for their mothers, for their birthdays."
"That sounds really happy, actually."
"Yeah, but no one's ever going to buy flowers for her. They'll think, 'flower lady. Doesn't need more flowers.'"
"I'll bet she's sick of flowers. With a job like that you probably want... waffles."

"Adorable. Litigatable. Adoralitagatable."

Sorry for the lack of updates recently -- The site's not dead, I've just been busy, and again I've been plagued by the working so much I don't overhear anyone but my coworkers. I've got a good backlog of quotes though, so expect more in the next week.

"It's never too late to say you're sorry."
"Sometimes people die."
"That would be a good band name."

"Do you know what I like? I like how whenever someone says, 'You can drink it like water,' it's always something you shouldn't be drinking at all."

"No, his Achilles heel can't be his Achilles heel! "

"Hey, some friends and I are meeting at Men's Room at 12:30 tonight, wanna come?"
"Oh no, I woke up early this morning. 12:30 is like... twice my bed time."
--Two guys on BART.

"I stopped calling myself a refugee when I bought the Audi. I think that's fair."
"Wyclef has a Hummer with a fish tank in it. Refugee All Star."
"Well."
"You should go major league."
--Two guys talking at Caribou Coffee

"I always feel thinner when I'm tan. You know how black pants are slimming? Dark colors? It's like black pants for your whole body."
"Except black pants don't kill you."
--Two women talking in the produce section at Whole Foods

"I started at the end of the street, and I wasn´t shouting -- I wasn´t hysterical. I was just talking very loudly LIKE THIS. And I walked down the row of houses, and I said,`Shame on all of you. All of you! We have lived in this neighborhood for 5 years. We have kept to ourselves! We have bothered no one! And not one of you has ever, ever, shown us welcome, love, or chartiable actions. Shame on all of you.`"
"Oh goodness, she must have known you meant her."
"No, but Janey, she was almost as bad originally, and sure enough she shows up on my doorstep the next day with 50 yellow roses and an invitation to their barbeque. They´re just lucky I didn´t get hysterical."
--Two women talking over brunch
