I’ve been reading that for a few weeks now. I love it! My favorites are usually subway announcements like “Sir, do not take a dump on the platform. Sir! Sir! Please do NOT take a dump on the platform!” ---

Please do NOT take a dump on the platform!” If they don’t want us to take dumps on the platforms, they should put toilets on the trains. ---

Good one. I also enjoy [Overheard in Dublin](http://www.overheardindublin.com/). Much the same sort of stuff, except everybody’s stewed to the eyeballs. ---

Overheard in NY has a younger sister site, [Overheard in the Office](http://www.overheardintheoffice.com). “It’s now official: you have to be retarded to work in our accounting department.” “If you bring that BlackBerry to another meeting, I am going to shove it up your ass.” Not limited to a specific city. Check it out. ---

Bwah! 😃 Who wants to start one for another city? Chicago, Paris, Toronto, Amsterdam…? (Amsterdam in particular would be _very_ amusing…) ---

I heart this site, check it every day. I particularly liked this gem from today: Girl: See, I’m allergic to Vicodin. I took some before I let my boyfriend do me in the ass, and ended up just getting done in the ass and having a stomachache. –Metro-North ---
