Overheard in New York
Overheard In New York is a website that is pretty much Exactly What It Says on the Tin: a place for people to share things that they overheard in New York City. All human life really is here, with people of every stripe sharing their stupid, witty or just flat-out bizarre thoughts and stories.
Has four sister sites, Overheard in the Office, Overheard at the Beach, Celebrity Wit, and Overheard Everywhere, all of which are pretty self-explanatory as well.
