Shrewsbury Patch has a new segment. Simply called "overheard, the concept is to park our cabooses at a local spot, look and listen, and post what we see or hear. Today, we give you random snippets of conversations at Brody's Diner, a charming hot spot that serves up big plates that complement the big personalities of the help and patrons.
Here are some random things overheard at the diner:
1. "My youngest is lazy, and my oldest has never been lazy at all."
2. "They had this lobster roll there and it was THIS BIG. It was $16, but hey, I was there and it was there. So I had it."
3. "If you ask for a job to get done, it needs to get done. I treated him more like an employee, but he wanted a check in, like, march."
4. "You must have fallen over when you got that shipment order."
5. "I can go in that building, start up that motor, and walk it out like it was yesterday."
6. "After this conversation, on the way home you are likely to say to your son, 'let's crank that sucker up.'"
7. "He is definitely a person who has many issues."
8. "I've taken a bit of a chill."
9. "I am trying to avoid the office at all costs."
10. "I want a St. Bernard when I grow up."
11. "If I could go back in time, I would go organic. Yeah, it costs an extra dollar but it tastes better."
