Overheard In New York
Walking from my office to the subway today, I started to overhearing a cell phone conversation going on behind me. The guy was somewhere in his early twenties and on the phone with his dad. His dad was obviously giving him crap about having not called in while which created the following exchange.
Kid (petulantly): Well, yeah I’ve just been busy.
*pause*
Well, my schedule’s hectic, there’s a ton to do.
*pause*
(defensively) Well, not everyone’s a double major in art school.
If the father did not respond with something along the lines of: “Yeah, some people go to actual schools to get real jobs” I’m supremely disappointed.
