Snapshots of my Tuesday:
As heard while reading in the Student Union Building at UBC (my thoughts in italic)
Girl 1: I mean, what is her problem? She's so upset all the time, like "Oh god, he broke up with me!" I know she's my best friend, but, I mean, get over it! It's been a week!"
A week? She's upset because her friend isn't over being dumped in a week?
Girl 2: Oh, I know, and all she does is mope around and cry. It's sooo annoying. How long were they going out for, anyway?
Girl 1: Three years. Ugh, I can't believe she's so annoying.
Three years?! Of course she's upset! Jaisus!
Girl 1: Who could we set her up with? What about John?
Girl 2: No, he's too good for her.
Girl 1: Yeah, same as Tim and Peter. Ugh, I wouldn't want to inflict her on anyone.
This is your best friend? I joke about going to hell, but you probably have a penthouse suite of torture waiting for you!
Girl 1: You know what we should do? We should take her out and get her totally drunk, and the first guy who hits on her, we'll send them home together.
WHAT?!
Girl 2: We should totally do that! It'd be so funny!
Girl 1: I know, and it's totally normal. It's called "getting over someone".
Actually, for her it's called "rape". For you, it's called "endangering your friend's life" or "whoring out your friend".
[As I get up to leave]
Girl 1: So, let's toally do that this weekend!
Couple next to me, to each other as I leave;
Girl: My god, do you hear these girls?
Guy: I'm trying not to.
In conclusion, I feel really sorry for their friend, and am extremely thankful that I have better friends than she does. Ech.

Insert expression of fear, disgust and disbelief all rolled into one!
sadly, it is all too common to encounter conversations like that in the sub. it can be a very unfortunate world out there. let's live with the satisfaction that eventually, those genes have to dye off...
