Watch Your Language

I'm having my class do a blog, and I'm having them do an activity reading and looking at a variety of blogs. In the course of looking for examples for them, I ran across the blog Overheard in Chicago, which is a compilation of the crazy things people heard around the city. Some favorites:

Girl: "So she called and wanted to know why you were so pissy."Guy: "Did you tell her why?"Girl: "I don't know why."Guy: "Good. Great. Now you know why I'm in such a bad mood."Girl: "Because I don't know why you're in a bad mood."Guy: "Do you see the circle of anger you create?"- [overheard at] Loyola

College Girl: "That's the girl who added me on Facebook, but won't say hi to me in real life." - Columbia College Elevator

Truly a cautionary lesson to us all about public conversations...
