It's clean out our inbox day at Eavesdrop DC!

Every day we get a bunch of eavesdrops that fall through the cracks. Our day jobs get in the way, we can't think of subject lines that do them justice, etc. Today we're going to post a bunch that we've been sitting on for awhile. Sorry it took us so long!

Someone is looking out for you metro riders

After extensive orange/blue line delays, shortly before Rosslyn (I think) with a packed train:

Orange line: "Please passengers, when we arrive at a platform and you are close to a door, please step off of the train and wait for customers to exit the train before you reenter. I promise I'll wait until everyone has boarded the train. Here at Metro, this is No Passenger Left Behind Day."

Some people are so unreasonable.

Guy on Cell at Georgetown University.

"She's pissed at you? ... Well, personally, I think it is about time that she gets over it. Just because you ran over her with the car doesn't mean she can still be so upset with you. For God's sake, you took her to all her doctor's appointments, paid for all the medical bills and medications, and are still even making her dinner. She can be rather ungrateful. She is so drugged up right now, are you sure she is still pissed? Could it be the drugs?"
