Overheard in Melbourne



Written by lainie at 09:10 PM on October 2, 2009 in melbourne.

While walking off a huge meal, I wound up momentarily stuck behind a group of pseudo-trendy people on a night out.

It was a small street, so I couldn't help overhearing as they discussed, amongst other things, their dinner venue:

Girl 1: But it's dumplings! In soup!

Girl 2: Are dumplings in soup even a legitimate Chinese dish?

Lainie: .......

Girl 3: I didn't catch your name by the way. I'm Jenny.

Guy: I'm Bob

Jenny's possessive boyfriend: (interrupts) She's my better half! HAHAHA!

Bob: Oh.

Bob: ......I'm a doctor.

They were loud. I don't think I was the only one mentally facepalming over the awkward pick-up attempt, or going into mental overdrive thinking of various dumplings, in soups, Chinese, or otherwise.

Who was picking up who..?

Jenny was the one asking for Bob's name, right?

Was it weird, because Bob tried to pick up Jenny AFTER Jenny's boyfriend announced himself? Or something else?
