Overheard

One of my favorite things I follow Twitter is Overheard in the Newsroom. I think that’s mostly because I’ve worked in a newsroom and know well the insanity and appreciate the jokes, whereas some people might not find them funny. Of course, these are quotes from newsrooms, so some of them get a little questionable sometimes, but still, it’s funny.

I love overheard statements. I just think that sometimes people say things that are downright hilarious. And sometimes things just get MORE hilarious when you only hear a snippet of the conversation. So, today, on a Friday I am SO happy is finally here, I give you a few overheard statements.

“This shower will cause more babies. People always have babies after baby showers.” —a coworker as we set up for a baby shower yesterday. We won’t discuss what he said next.

“It looks like they’re painted—little happy trees. Like ‘Joy of Painting’ trees.” —Mindy while in New Hampshire

“So, Mandy. You’re taking off your shirt at basketball games now?” —friend after hearing the story of me almost getting stellar tickets at the Vandy/MU basketball game until the girl saw my Mizzou sweatshirt. Shame on him for going there!

“My hair looks good. I look like I’ve bathed and everything.” —Mindy commenting on a picture I took of her in New Hampshire one morning.

Me: “The Vanderbilt Commodore is kind of creeping me out.” Brandon: “I think, judging from his paleness, rigor mortis has set in. His face is stuck that way.”

Intern on her last day: “I’m really going to miss this place.” Reporter: “Well you weren’t here much.” From Overheard in the Newsroom

I know it’s not much, but it’s something. Enjoy! I hope some quotables of this sort come my way today! 🙂
