it's things like these that make me appreciate the tourists

i'm totally ripping this straight from the pages of dcist - but seriously it's hilarious. i really need to start sending in some of the stuff i overhear. but mainly the most ridiculous things are what i see. i need to walk around armed with a camera at all times. heyyy-yyyy.

so here's one of the "overheard in dc " comments this week:

You know you're just jealous someone else had the guts to say it before you did.
At the Crystal City Metro:
Tourist, looking at a map: "Excuse me? Which line do I take to the Smithsonian?"
Tourist's Wife: "Why is this so confusing? How do people in DC get anywhere?"
Metro Employee: "Look, are you colorblind? Or just plain stupid?"
Tourist and Wife: *silence*
Metro Employee: "Shit...you colorblind, ain't you?"

and here's an oldie, but goodie i once overheard:

Standing on the rooftop, at the bar, at Clarendon Ballroom:
Girl 1: "Hi, I'd like a Bud Light, please."
Bartender: "You know we have Miller Lite on special for $1.50 right now?"
Girl 1: "Yeah, I'd really prefer a Bud Light."
Bartender: "Ok, whatever."
Girl 1, gets her beer and turns to Girl 2: "You know I just like Bud Light so much better."

it still boggles my mind that someone would willingly spend $5 for a bud light when the miller lites are only $1.50. honestly, i can't make these things up.
