Overheard ...

"No! Don't let them know that. Lemme tell ya how I filled out the census form ... "

Multi Tasker

This young woman stops in middle of busy sidewalk in Times Square while pushing a large stroller while she's on her cell phone ... to light her cigarette. Then she takes out a map and crosses the street against the light and gives the cabbie (who almost hit her) the finger.
Good sitters are so hard to come by.

Take it to the Mat

I'm on my cell phone, walking past Whole Foods, and this guy is hawking some Yoga Center. You know, "Take this flyer and save 10% on your next Bikram sweat-fest."
The guy catches my eye, and says, "You do Yoga? Save 10%, dude!"
And I say, "Sorry, I am on the phone here."
And he says, "I'm just givin' you a flyer, man."
And I say, "Yeah, but you are also shouting at me, while I'm on a call."
He says, shoving the flyer at me, "Just take one! C'mon!"


Now, am I really going to support a Yoga institution that has employees who bombard you with information when you are having a very important cell phone chat about where you are going to go out for Happy Hour that night? I don't think so.
