Overheard in LA...Part 2

Pin It


One of two tattoos I have...the wrist tattoo. So original, I know. I was 18 and rebellious, what can I say?

 Now onto the ridiculous things I have overheard while living in LA...

::working with a patient at the gym, discussing the nice vehicles in the city::
Guy: Oh, the BMW 3 Series is the Honda Civic of LA.
(*Courtesy of my husband)

::at the beach::
girl #1: the marine layer is so bad today.
girl #2: no, that's just smog.
girl #1: what's the difference?
*both shrug*

::at the beach::
(at the beach, 10yr old little girl runs up to her dad-- who by the 
way looks like he is 24 and is drinking a beer with his friends)
girl: dad, do you have a band-aid?
dad: aw, F@&#^@&! what did you do?
little girl: I cut myself on a rock
dad: the beach is NOT a playground! sonofab*@#*!

::at the original farmer's market::
Guy #1: I then I went to Fresno,...
Three random people: HEYYYYYY!
(*I still do not understand this, someone please explain?!)

::In Target::
Girl #1: So what are like, good, like, mixers?
Girl #2: OMG, get Vitamin water because then we will get, like, vitamins
and electrolytes and stuff.
Guy: So we won't be hungover?
Girl #2: TOTALLY!
All Three: *high-five*


::while walking the dog::
Girl:  and my parents won't put a pool in even though like everyone else has one!
Guy: omg, why?
Girl: Because they said we live on a fault line or something gay like that.
Guy: *Uh-NOY-ingggg!
(*annoying)


Feel better about your life now?

YOU'RE WELCOME.

  3. some of these don't surprise me at all haha!!
    it looks like you're having an amazing time in California! i've been in LA since September since I'm still a newbie as well. i've done some of the same things! went to Malibu (but not to Zuma), and also did Griffith Park, but only walked around the observatory. the hike to the Hollywood sign looks like a blast!

  4. Was the "HEYYYY!" in response to Fresno a negative response? Because as a so Cal native I would understand that a little because Fresno is so far from everything & blah (for lack of better words! I have family there & lived there for 9 months) but it almost seemed like a positive response how I read it. I am not sure if there is a simple explanation!

  7. i have a wrist tattoo as well but i forgot to talk about that one on raven's blog ha..and i love the list!

    ReplyDelete

  8. Ok, I don't really miss LA that much. I think the Fresno thing could be because Fresno sucks or because it's such a party town. Those are my educated guesses. And what the crap was wrong with the little girl? The beach is NO place to play!

  16. BAHAHAAHAHA! This might be my favorite part of you living in California. :) So ridiculous!!

    ReplyDelete

  17. Hahahahahahaha! Oh dear. Well, I can maybe help you with the Fresno thing. Fresno is the sweaty bum of California so I'm thinking they were trying to act cool about a not cool place. I think?

    ReplyDelete

  20. Hahahha, the target one...tsk tsk ;)

    ReplyDelete

  21. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. This made me laugh so hard. California is... special.

    ReplyDelete

  22. hehe-funny! love the first two!

    ReplyDelete

  24. Whoa! I had to go back and double read a few of them. They are hilarious!

    ReplyDelete

  25. Before I can read this entire post, I HAVE to comment on the first line. About your tattoo. One of the funniest moments at our girls din was your story about you getting a tattoo and how your daddy said he was going to pray you wont and you told him “we’ll you better pray harder” hahaha I loved it! :)

    ReplyDelete

  26. I promise, you'll eventually filter through the ridiculousness..

    now.. can we be best friends since I live in LA too?

    That's not creepy, right?

    ReplyDelete

  27. Here from Raven's link up - love that little star, so cute!

    ReplyDelete

  28. This makes me laugh because it is so true! The guy with the BMW comment is spot on believe it or not. My husband and I call LA the land of the lease because there is no way this many people can afford to drive a brand new BMW/Mercedes or whatever else is expensive on an assistants salary.

    ReplyDelete

  29. I am from Fresno and went to school at UCLA and even I can't explain to you what that "HEYYY" comment might be about. I can tell you Fresno (and Bakersfield) are two cities that people in SoCal looovvveee to make fun of! Fresno's not soooooooo bad though =)

    ReplyDelete

  30. I just discovered your blog through Across the Pond. These quotes are hilarious. As a native of LA, I think I'm immune to all the funny things people say, but it's true... things like this can be heard on a regular basis in LA.

    Come check out my blog, FEST about food, style & travel. Right now I'm documenting my wardrobe challenge: to not but any clothes in 2012. It's gonna be great!

  32. I LOVE these posts of yours -- please keep them coming!!

    ReplyDelete

  33. It's a whole different world! So glad you are staying yourself & keeping us informed on all of the crazies out there! But your pic's have been so beautiful & make me want to go to CA!

    ReplyDelete

  34. your tatto is so adorable. I think if i were to get a tattoo it would be my wrist like yours or my inner ankle!

    im offended by teh BMW 3 series! hahahah thats what I have (well the 3 series SUV!) i feel so non-cool now

    the vitamin water thing. omg im dying....are they serious hahaha

    i feel much smarter and better about my life hahah though Kurt and I are booking our trip to Disney soon and he said Jet Blue would be better because we get one free bag and I was like "what!! like a free tote bag that says jet blue?" No Erica...a free checked bag

  35. fresno/bakersfield = the butthole of california. not sure what kind of "HEYYY" they used, but that's what i know.

    ReplyDelete

  36. Hahaha, that is sooo funny!! Sounds better than all the hillbilly I get living in Wisconsin! We at least sound slightly more intelligent..slightly.

    ReplyDelete

  37. Haha thanks for making me feel smart! Love this post!

  38. Hahaha! I love this! I was seriously getting way homesick reading about your fun on the beach over at Across the Pond, but after reading these, well, it just made me feel a lot better!:)

    ReplyDelete

  39. :)

    I DO feel better about myself, after reading that. Thank you. It sounds like, if nothing else, moving to LA means your stock of funny little tales to tell will not be running dry anytime soon.

    ReplyDelete

  41. I was hoping you'd do another 'Overheard in LA' post!! These are the best! So funny, especially the Dad at the beach!
    I like your tattoo though! If I ever were to get a tattoo, my wrist is actually my place I'd want to put it! But hey, if you don't like it so much, you were 18, and it isn't so bad!! At least it isn't a tattoo you put on yourself!-My sister's friend's sister did that to herself! She made a tattoo with a pen, permanently!!

  48. YES!!! The second last one is the best. I do like that the three girls needed to high five the awesomeness of discovering a way to beat a hangover. I mean Totally!

    ReplyDelete

  49. Hahah, this is hilarious! Yep, I do feel better now :)

    ReplyDelete

  50. SO funny. I should do one of these about where I live :)

    ReplyDelete

  51. i feel much better now. thanks.

    ReplyDelete

  52. LOL! I was born and raised in southern CA and these are just a couple reasons why I never want to go back. The BMW/honda comparison? Totally the mentality! And the traffic, ughhhhh! Looks like your having a great time, though! LA isn't all bad- but living there forever? No thank you! lol

  53. I just found your blog and love it! I am your 1001st follower! What an achievement for you! Congrats!

    ReplyDelete

  54. Ha, this made me laugh a lot. You seriously hear the worst conversations ever!! Ok, maybe not the worst ones but pretty close. :( So sorry CA started out to be a "joke". LOL Somehow!!!

    ReplyDelete

  55. Ok, whoa. That is a totally different world over there, huh? CRAZY. I especially love the man-child/dad who chewed out his daughter for "playing" on the beach. I mean, who ever heard of doing that?! What a loser.

    That story reminds me of something Will and I overheard outside the Chattanooga Aquarium last summer. This man had his two children with him, and one of the (little) kids asked him a question in a normal voice. Then the Dad proceeded to go into a high pitched yell/whine, scolded the kid and said this: "You're RUINING Daddy's fun day!" WHAT?!?! How crazy is that. Although, it has made a funny phrase that Will and I repeat all the time...especially if something doesn't go our way. ha.

    ReplyDelete

  56. p.s. stay away from the Hollywood Sign....severed heads?!!?!

    ReplyDelete

  57. Haha wow I always love these. Hilarious!

    ReplyDelete

  58. Oh how I can already tell I'm going to be a big fan of these (and might even send in some additional requests)!
