Overheard near Yorkville as my partner and I were exploring the neighborhood. We were passing a public bike rental station thing when the two couples behind us had this conversation. It seemed like a double date; the two in front seemed to be close friends and each with a +1 date trailing behind.

One couple was clearly getting along well while the other couple floundered and bickered about the bicycles. I was struck both by the lack of emotional intelligence displayed by the struggling date, (Like why are you picking a silly fight over the merits of cycling through a busy city without a helmet as a romantic adventure? You are going home alone, buddy.) and the nimble way the friend defused the situation with a private reference that seemed like a reminder of understanding companionship.

Overheard at the crosswalk:

"...she got a $700 ice maker for $300. Supposedly it makes thirty pounds of ice per day. Listen, if you need thirty pounds of ice per day..."

In the cafe, waiting for breakfast, trying to mind my own business at the window counter. Two seats away a guy is setting up a laptop workstation thing with his 7(?) year old kid eating breakfast on the other side of him when I hear

Guy: *struggling to get something connected*

Guy: *muttering* fuck yoooou and the horse you rode in on.

Kid: …

Guy: …

Kid: that. Was. Beautiful.

And I did not look up and I did keep my laughing silent. The kid was was also giggling.

Guy: …yeah. Daddy’s funny when he’s grumpy.
