The subway one hit me super hard, that was me during the first couple of years with my fiancé. Then for the third year I proposed to her overlooking a beautiful canyon using a nice handmade ring that had some serious meaning to an inside joke of ours; it can happen and I seriously fucking hope it happened for that couple.
When my children were little we were at a restaurant and there was this group of people in one of the next rooms. They were talking about a murder. I'm listening to them talk and then I realized it was a murder mystery dinner. I remember I was invited to one back in the 80s.
Yeah. My friend used to stage the most fantastic murder nights around Xmas each year. Was discussing it quietly at dinner in a restaurant one evening, only to discover that the two couples at the table behind us were all police. We must have sounded dodgy AF, & only realised after my friend noticed they'd started paying an inordinate amount of attention to us. That was an awkward conversation.
I recall going to a murder mystery party back in the eighties. I decided to be an obnoxious Russian and ended up being the murder victim. It was interesting and fun and hosted by a small business owner in the same building as my business. The designated "detective" became one of my best friends. He didn't solve the "murder" but we're still friends 40 years later.
Oh, that reminds me of going to a murder mystery theater around 1998. Murder on the Nile was it's name. The actors were also the servers for dinner. Would love to attend a murder mystery dinner with friends.
I remember going to a murder mystery dinner with my school club. It was a Honeymooners parody with the actors portraying the characters Ralph Cramden and Ed Norton. Us diners got to be part of the show by portraying characters that knew who done it.
Having lunch out a few years ago, I noticed the woman at the next table having an animated conversation with... no one... while she ate. Until I noticed the Bluetooth in her ear--the tech had just come out--I assumed she was schizophrenic.
Don't know how many times I've embarrassed myself in a lift, by answering someone who I thought had spoken to me, finding out they were on Bluetooth. And we are stuck in a lift, kind of staring at one another; they've been distracted from their conversation, and I have to be silent now. Lol. Because profusely apologizing just makes it all worse.
My mother does this to get attention. Talks really loud on her bluetooth and then when someone happens to make eye contact she points it out and laughs and laughs. I've seen the same thing happen over two dozen times now.
@@PowuhToSeven never went to fight circles? Man your school life must have been boring. I was a nerdy outcast, and fighting circles got me to be more socially accepted (fighting back bullies n shit)
*Not a couple but...* I went to a restaurant some years ago and I noticed a girl (about early to mid 20s) sitting a few tables over. She looks like a million and very elegant. A moment later a man comes in, dressed to the nines in a fancy suit. He sits by the girl and they begin chatting a bit. No more than 2 minutes after that another man comes in, equally sharp dressed. The girl gestures at him, he goes to her table, and then she says something like "Okay, this is a dating competition - two of you, one of me. Let's see who wants me the most!" I don't think the guys knew each other beforehand, but they quickly realize they have something in common so they strike up a 'bro-conversation' ("ahhh you also know X?" - "I know his older brother, but haven't spoken to him in ages" - "he had to move because of work"), laughing and joking a lot and completely ignoring the girl.
Wife & I once sat in a Mexican restaurant, placed our orders and had begun eating. Two salesmen (obvious by their conversation) walked in and took the booth next to us. They would NOT shut up--not for the length of time it takes to suck in air for a breath. They placed their order, ate, and STILL managed to leave before my wife & I finished. We were not so much annoyed by them as astonished.
@@PinkyJujubean The girl he was talking to was VERY tall and VERY skinny. Easily 6 feet tall and probably 120 lbs. She definitely had the Olive Oyl body shape. I never did see her face or clothing though.
While in college, my friend and I were eating in a restaurant and was discussing about the exam scheduled for the next day. I said I hope this particular teacher be my invigilator as he was kind of cool and lenient.Next day in college I was called to the dean's office and was told that the teacher I mentioned would never come as my teacher.It seems like the dean's daughter was sitting n the next table in the restaurant and tattled to her father about this. He never appeared in any of exams until I graduated.
At McDonalds and a woman with her three little kids sits next to me. She has a full on large meal while the three kids are splitting a child’s meal. One is crying because the others got more of the meal. She tells him to shut up. Kid really starts to cry and out of nowhere she says the most epically bizarre thing I’ve ever heard. She says “you’re ugly, your feet stink, and you don’t believe in Jesus.” The kid looked like he’d been slapped and I’m left speechless. She finishes her meal in silence and she throws away her tray and I slip the kids the rest of my large fries. They stuffed their mouths and left. Now I’ve got that damn sentence in my head for the rest of my life. Mississippi is the weirdest place.
Oh, I was in Mississippi for two weeks... I saw some strange things! A family that lived in this big, rundown house, but all eight of them only lived in two rooms; no heat, hot water... Then we stayed at a trailer and in the backyard there was a huge Hindu temple being built. It was surreal. I feel terrible for those kids... Dunno if I could have kept my mouth shut. Kind acts like yours teach kids there are other ways to live, and people out there that care.
When I was younger I really didn't like drama stuff, but the older I get, I almost can't rip my attention away from some juicy eavesdropping. You also would be paying attention for when the drama gets real and need to call the cops. And scripted drama has nothing, NOTHING, on real life drama, because some stuff just can't be brainstormed by writers.
Was in Manhattan for a week years ago on business and spouse decided to tag along, which was fine! The city can be lonely after work is concluded for the day. Happened to be there over Valentine's Day and treated ourselves to an expensive dinner. Beautiful place, opulent, totally foreign to people who're from fly-over country - lol. Anyway, we're joking with the server since it's not likely we'll ever return, so just have fun, you know? Couple near us was fighting - she was shrill, and he was nasty, Server kept looking at us apologetically. Finally, the nasty guy stomps off to the restroom, returns shortly with a 4-foot long piece of TP stuck to his shoe. It falls off by our table. Server walks past and with a horrified look, grabs it off the floor. Spouse and I are almost rolling off our seats trying not to laugh, and server starts shaking with silent laughter. He later brought by the desert cart, whispered "on the house" and winked. We never did go back, but it remained our fun-nest moment ever.
I was at the park with some friends some years ago and these younger kids came by and one of the kids was replying to something another person said, he said “I’m a legal midget” and then stated his height, we cracked 😂
At a coffee shop, four older women sitting near me. Oldest woman: "I like my coffee like I like my men." Silence. Woman 2: "Black and strong?" OW: "Nope." Woman 3: "Light and smooth?" OW: "Nope!" Woman 4: "Then how?" OW: "At least three times a day!"
I don’t need to go out for dinner to hear weird convos in a restaurant, cause I work in one lol. Unfortunately I don’t have any weird stories to tell… yet
"That ain't nothin'," as the saying goes. Once a few weeks before dinner, I stopped in at a Waffle House, and I overheard one waitress telling another they were completely booked for Valentine's Day. _Waffle House._
In a chinese Restaurant : (I am German) , two ladies talking whilst eating; "Die haben alle so viele Male gekotzt" (they all puked so many times) what a topic to discuss over lunch XD
8:37 Thank you for calling that T out, lmao. Went to a hibachi before and had a person like that at our table too. Some folks need to keep their crusty asses at home.
A few weeks ago, my husband and I were standing in line at a Qdoba (like subway but burritos). The couple behind me had me so distracted. The girl was arguing with her boyfriend. Saying how he's a terrible person because she thinks hes cheating on him, he's filth for looking at her sister, he's a jerk for going out with his buddies and never calls her, he's friends with a guy who is sleeping with her best friend and she doesn't like him. She's not making a scene, she's just talking not yelling. This poor guy is just standing there taking it. He doesn't say a word. Then once it's their turn to order, she gets mad that they don't have the guacamole and she demands they make her some. I don't understand people who decide to have very personal conversations in public. "Let's get burritos and I'll tell you how terrible of a person you are." Ffs. I hope that guy runs away, that woman is a Karen in the making.
My grandfather was fluent in eight languages from secret service training. He taught me also. People divulge far too much when they consider no-one understands. I might say good-bye in their tongue.
Asking about abortion, politics and religion are the best way to know what kind of person you are meting. If you're weirded out by being asked that, i don't want to know You.
One time I was at Denny's and these two guys at the booth next to us were eating and having a nice time and then the one dudes cell phone rings. Its a call telling him his girlfriend was killed in a car crash. They quick paid and rushed out. 😔
10:33 hmmm kinda relateble I was in a restaurant today and I ordered a delicious hamburger. Mind im 15 and in germany (im dutch) so there were red onions on it and I hate those. Just said fck it and kinda are them. Removed some too. 🤷♂️
Went on a two day trip to the seaside in my country. Tonight, I went out to eat in the harbour. A dude sat down at the table next to me and after a while a girl came. He was apparently really surprised that she got there so fast and made some comments. She responded "noooo, cause I saw you!!". Dude took that as an angry response and said "why are you like this? In this mood? Are you on your period?". From what I gathered they were on their first date😬😬 for whatever reason the chick continued the date after chewing him out for a couple of minutes
I was with my grandma, mother, and brother at a fancy Italian place. As we were waiting, I was looking around out of boredom and saw a woman poking her breasts saying something, I can't remember. She saw me and turned my head, she was embarrassed and so was I. My mom asked what was up, I said don't ask.

A couple at another table discussing rationally and reasonably whether they would have sex at the end of the evening.
Sounds like good communication, but they should've talked about it privately
On one hand, good on them for communicating with each other.
On the other hand, they probably should’ve done so a bit quieter.
Once listened to a little old man serenade his wife while out at a restaurant. I think the song was My Girl. 🥰
That is very sweet of him.

I heard a guy try to pick up a girl by telling her 'youre like an attractive version of Olive Oyl'. Yikes.

Sketchy Skies - I don't think you'd want to know her. And yes, she SHOULD be ashamed, but I feel she never would be about that. Sad, really. 🤥
