For all you non-Supernatural people, a bit of overheard conversation from the PATH station on the way home. As I'm sitting there, two women came up to the turnstile, which it took them about ten minutes to figure out how to use. As they're standing there, this one woman's voice sort of bellows out and catches the natural acoustic of the arch over the platform to project the sound of her voice all the way down to the other end. Believe me, I was well down the platform and she may as well have been yelling in my ear in her strange husky, nasal voice.
Loud Woman: Why are we going to Jersey? (Repeat. A lot.)
Friend: I don't know if I can fit through this. (The turnstiles are built to accomodate extremely large people. She'd fit.)
LW: You won't because your ta-ta's are too big!
...
LW: Why are we going to Jersey? Jersey sucks! (Pretty much any time her friend wasn't saying something else, she repeated this. They finally make it through.)
LW: I'm hot!
F: You're changing into a dress in like a minute.
LW: Do you have underwear? I need underwear. (The next she stage whispers at a decibel level I'd need a megaphone to achieve.) I'm not wearing any! *pause* Hey, this dude's like fuck YEAH! *laughter* (At this point someone twenty feet down the platform starts cracking up.)
F: We can take a cab back.
LW: A cab? A cab? What's a cab?
F: It'll be like ten bucks.
LW: We already paid! (The logic of this...I'm not even going to start.)
LW: New Jersey sucks! Why are we going to Jersey?
F: We could not go to Jersey.
LW: But I paid!
At this point my train showed up, thank god, and they managed to avoid getting on it since it was not going to Hoboken, but only barely.
This is why everyone hates New Yorkers, isn't it?
