Overheard on the Streetcar, rushour, today:
"If everyone can just move up along there, please lose your boundaries, get a little up close and friendly with your neighbours, we can squeeze a few more in if we just push together... sorry, you can't stand on the bottom step, if you bring your own step with you that's fine but you can't stand on this one - but don't worry, im running so late there are two other streetcars right behind me... keep squeezing together folks, you never know, you might make a friend or meet your soulmate...if anyone wants to stop at the next one and can't reach the cord to pull, just holler 'hey, driver, stop the streetcar, i wanna get off you big jerk' and i'll understand... next stop Spadiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiina Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaation, y'all wanted to hear that, right?...id like to thank y'all for being so patient during this difficult journey and for listening to me....i'd also like to take this opportunity to thank you for riding the TTC and keeping me in employment, we hope you had a pleasant trip and hope to see you again soon"
Overheard in an organic butchers on Queen St, today:
"Some Mayonnaise please"
-Shouldn't you be avoiding that with the pregnancy?
"no, it's ok. I had a miscarriage and lost it"
-Oh ok, how much then?
"*this* much. Yeah, I miscarried at the start of January"
-Oh I am SO sorry. Is this enough?
"yeah, that's great. Thanks"
It's been that kind of day
