overheard in pret
Nov. 2nd, 2007 10:05 am1st young man behind me:
"have you ever been dumped by a girlfriend who then didn't want any of her friends to talk to any of your friends?"
2nd young man behind me (chirpily):
"of course i have mate!"
it was the chirpiness that impressed me -- as in "blimey yes millions of times, isn't it totally normal?"
tho it occurs to me now as i write this up that this was largely for his friend's benefit -- to make this seem like a very ordinary thing, not something to feel bad about
