Midwestern Eavesdropping

Drunk thirtysomething male in Cubs gear at a restaurant, loudly, to his thirtysomething ladyfriend:  "I'm totally gonna lick your asshole later."
Ladyfriend:  "Shhhhhhhhhhhh!"
--Chicago, Mayan Palace, Halsted & Schubert
Eavesdropper:  Gregerson

Fiftysomething woman on morning rush hour L train talking on the phone to someone it seems she is well-acquainted with, after at least ten minutes of conversation, says, incredulously:  "Wait, he's married to you?" (pause) "Yeah, but hold on.  He's married to you?"
--Chicago, Red Line train
Eavesdropper:  GMYH

If you overhear something funny or that can be taken out of context, email it to gmyhblog@yahoo.com, along with (1) the location and (2) your preferred eavesdropping pseudonym.
