At Treats this afternoon, a girl said "I wasn't expecting Elijah Wood to swoop in and save me from myself!"
I don't have a single idea how that could come up in conversation.

Two classic moments in my life at YorkU.
One night I was in the student center eating, waiting for two friends to get food. Two girls were at the table beside me, discussing a guy that one of the girls (let's call her Girl A) clearly liked, but was unsure if he was interested. Girl B was trying to reassure her that he may not treat her the best, but that doesn't mean he's not interested.
"Just because he's too busy to talk sometimes, doesn't mean he's not interested!" Says Girl B.
"I suppose." Girl A replies.
"And I know he's not always around when you try to contact him, but it's never his fault." Says Girl B.
"I know." Girl A replies."
"And just because he doesn't always text you from prison doesn't mean he's not interested!" Says Girl B. Needless to say, this story made my night!
-----
On another occasion, I was at Popeyes with a friend. A girl in front of us was making her order, and when the cost of her order came up on the screen, she seemed confused. She paid for her food, awkwardly, and once the server was out of earshot, turned to her friend and said, "I don't understand this price! I've never seen a NINE before!" Epic win.
-----
Also, a final story of an amazing York Professor win. Some of you may know a certain frizzy-haired astornomy teacher who teaches at York. One day, he showed up fifteen minutes late to class. That week there was a meteor passing by earth. He comes into class out of breath, saying "I'm sorry for being late, but I was just outside, trying to see the meteor in the daylight!" P.H., we love you man!

Guy 1: I heard argenine does the same thing, its a nitrix oxide precursors so it gives you a hard one just like they like
Guy 2: oh really!

So the playoffs started yesterday... but did anyone catch the best matchup of all? There was a fight in York Lanes yesterday at Bakery Cafe between two older women- they were really screaming at each other for a good full minute, and I happened to have front row seats. I couldn't figure out what they were arguing about, but it made my day hahaha
*I know this isn't a typical 'overheard', but since everyone between Blueberry Hill and Great Canadian Bagel could WAY overhear them, I thought I'd post*

PHIL 3110 with Esteve Morera.
"Philosophy is a lot like real life. For example, you have to do things for good reasons--unless you've been drinking. Like an old professor of mine said, 'To read Kant, you have to be sober. To read Heidegger, a shot or two helps.'"

Talking about our TA, who is adorable, but nonetheless a little aloof:
Girl: "If she can get into grad school, it gives me hope for the future!
Probably a little unwarranted though, since cuteness doesn't make you stupid!

Prof: "Sexual behaviour increases the chance of gaining access to food."
he wasn't cracking a joke or anything, he was just lecturing but taken out of context that statement might get a few lols.

Two girls, before class starts:
Girl 1: "What's the difference between Canada and America?"
I ALMOST choked until I realized she was talking about the differences in shipping costs on ebay. BUUUT the stupidity was made up for by her friend:
Girl 2: "Do I have to use a card that has money on it?" (Referring to whether or not she can buy something with a maxed out credit card)

oh my.
maybe I'm just tired from more classes in one day than I've ever had, but regardless...

While waiting in line at Yogen Fruz...
Trio of girls struggling to order yogurt/organize their meals, seemingly in preparation to carry them back to rez. One girl is concerned about the frozen yogurt melting on this trek.
Says another in response: "No, it's not warm out, don't worry. But the wind, that might melt it."
Oh, that wind.

3 people stapling something in the copy room at the library. There are no stapler-related shenanigans going on... just stapling.
Girl: Remind me to keep that [the stapler] away from you two! Clearly you don't know what you're doing!
Just when you thought that stapling was a pretty basic task...
