"I shut up. Did you see that? Did you see me shut up just then? Because I knew that whatever came out of my mouth after that, it was not going to be anything good."
-- counter girl at coffee shop, talking to her co-worker
My favorite overheard-in-a-coffee-shop-conversation ever:
customer: (orders a drink with soy milk) barrista: we're out of soy milk. customer: you're out of soy milk? barrista: we're out of soy milk. that's why we put up the sign that says "Jed-- Buy Soy Milk." customer: what about that other sign? The one that says "Jed-- Don't Eat Children"? barrista: well, obviously that's a different problem. u
Of course, the other people who hang out where I hang out would probably all be yelling, "What are you doing, Cim? For god's sake don't encourage her!"

Clerk: "Extra shot?"
Customer: "No extra shot. Wait. Yeah, extra shot. What? I got that OCD, man, you put it in my brain I gotta roll with it."
