Overheard at Sydney Uni


While the above African-American and Soccer Mom have nothing to do with the demographic of USyd, eavesdropping is fun and your only option for the bus when your i-Pod headphones break again. So here are a few quotes heard around campus from the past few weeks.

In the library

Girl to man at info desk: "Is there somewhere in here where I can sleep?"

(though it's what we're ALL thinking)

Carslaw


Guy at gymnastics society booth: "HEY HANDSOME BOY! COME BUY SOME FOOD!"

(marketing major?)


Arts students walking on Eastern Avenue:


Guy 1: "You want to Chai?"
Guy 2: "Nah, I need something stronger, like a Latte"

(slow down there cowboy, one day it's latte, the next it's flat-whites!!)


Walking out of lecture

Guy: These are my girlfriend's skinny-jeans I'm wearing
Girl: They look good on you :

(after he said that, gravity bent in on itself and a nebulus entity swallowed the room)

On the 440

Guy: I really need to get one of those bus passes. Why do they call it a Travel 10?
Girl: Because you get 10 trips >_>
Guy: Oh.. yeah i'd get one but I'd have to walk all the way to Seaforth shops
Girl: Doesn't that take 10 minutes? <_<
Guy: But it's on a hill.

(i'm sure your parents will carry you, son)

This next one was in Wynyard. There was an elderly woman (1) having trouble walking down the stairs while another elderly woman (2) was patiently behind her.

Elderly woman 1: Sorry about this
Elderly woman 2: That's ok, I'm disabled too
Elderly woman 1: It's terrible isn't it
Elderly woman 2: Isn't it

Awww... they talk about it like it's something that happens every day like waiting for the bus, or telling Millie Edwards to get out of your trash.
