Most stupid thing you've overheard.......

stripysocks85

I get a great laugh at reading some of the things on overheardindublin.com so thought we could share a few of our own here - stories/misinterpretations/incorrect use of a word etc!

People who say 'pumpture' instead of 'puncture' [very common!]
Someone who commented on my 'lovely sequences' on my top when they really meant 'sequins'.

I'm sure there are more but it's dinner time!

Dinner at 2pm?

I once heard a girl on the 17a complain on the phone about how hard it is to have sex with someone in their job without the whole office finding out.

I asked her where she works and went to submit an application.

Nah I think he just doesn't like hard trance or 'dance music' in general.


I overheard a converation in a pub between some senior figures in the local UDC about plans to pederstrianise the main thoroughfare of Dundalk....for anyone that knows the town they'd know precisely how stupid such a notion is, but should not be surprised when it still goes ahead in the next few years...

When i was on honeymoon last year in mexico one of the hotels we stayed in had suites named after famous artists, performers and the like. A yank tourist stood at reception and saw the Pavarotti suite being advertised for $299 per night like so "Pavarotti-$299" and said "Wow, Pavarotti, I didnt know he was coming here". I just said "Ya, but i dont think he's singing live" and left it at that.

I've said a lot of stupid things myself.

"Where's Prague... Isn't that in Portugal?"

Someone asked me if I knew who Mark Twain was

"He's that guy who writes quotes!"

I said both of those things a few years ago, but they still mortify me to this day!

This is slightly different but ..

Years back down at the Trip To Tipp festival concert (if anyone remembers that) a mate of mine lost the head with us for laughing at him.

It started with him telling a story about the week before about him not getting served in a pub in town. He said:

"Lads, last week the bouncer let me into The Ivy Rooms but the barman didn't look the like of me and wouldn't serve me and got me kicked back out"

We just laughed a little at this stage and were about to tell him what we were laughing at but he started to get really wound up and said:

"Lads, he didn't look the like of me, allright!, what the f**k is so funny about that".

We were all drinking cans in a field some were stoned and he just was getting more and more irate. At this point we were crying laughing and was going ..

"You's are a bunch of w**kers, are you's saying the bouncer didn't let me in?? What's the story?? I'm f**king telling ya's ... you's are a bunch of pr**ks!, ya's know that".

He got close to throwing digs at one point and it must have been 15 minutes before anyone had the breath left from laughing to tell him what he said and why we were laughing

Could just be a South CO. Carlow thing but we pronounce the word "thrown" as "tron" (as in Lloytron).
Also "ask" is "axe".

Funny you should mention that, but when I send anything by post, I address it to The County of Athy or County Athy & whether I put Co.Kildare underneath or not, it always gets there.

Fago!

'No it isn't you gob****e, it's from ''Poltergeist''.'

Eh, lads, the film is called ''Ghost''...:o
