Walking to the dep just now:

Girl1: "I guess it's an older man type of thing."
Girl2: "Yeah, they want it to be proper looking."
Girl1: "Did you see how it vibrated?"

I would, but you know I don't actually talk to people in the real world.

Some of these are great!

We used to have a Quote o' the Day white board at the office. But, alas, the people who used to generate the best quotes have all moved on now.

I am still somewhat known for mediocre pun-ery...

Co-worker today: Hey, I need to ask you about this message I keep getting in the Console.
Me: What, like a Console-tation?

I like this thread. It encourages me to eavesdrop more.

The fact that I have no remedy for all the sorrows of the world is no reason for my accepting yours. It simply supports the strong probability that yours is a fake.

History is the excavation of graves--essential work, if one is to understand the graves that await us in the future.

My boss speaking to her mom on the phone :

"Mom, I'm at work! Now speak slowly or else i'll hang up and won't reply to you for all this afternoon.
Don't interrupt me.
So, in the user table, you have to add an ID column, which will be your primary key..."

Sounds like me talking to my wife from work Smile

You know, I know that when women moan about something it is sympathy that they want rather than advice, but when my wife is building webpages I can't help but give advice which I am sure she deliberately misenterprets or just goes ahead and does what she wants to do even though I've told her it is the wrong way to do it.

One thing I like about my city is that you often overhear conversations that switch between 3 languages.
