batman!!
While travelling in Melbourne with a blonde Dublinite -we'll call her rikki to save her some embarrassment, we were havin a few beers with some swedish blokes we'd just met. Conversation goes as follows:
Blonde: Where in Sweden are you from?
Swede: Gothenburg
Blond: Is that where Batman is from??
Swede(looking at her slightly confused): No thats Gotham City!
I had to interrupt and tell her that Batman is an American fictional character and not a Swedish one!

Tom boy Jo
One of the girls in work hit her leg off the filing cabinet situated beside her colleague Mark. Next we hear a shout from the back from one of the girls, Joanne, who we thought was real nice and proper until we heard her yell: "Eimear, did he kick you in the gee?" Cue everyone looking at each other in bewilderment before bursting out laughing. Joanne was mortified.

I was charging my ipod in my sisters and it was on the floor. She walked past it and almost stepped on it, to which she said to me "I nearly stepped on your output"
I had no idea what she was talking about!!?!?

Well, so long as it's not your OWN money...
While in college the other day, I overheard two D4 type girls discussing what one was getting for her birthday. Apparently, one of their "friends" thought what she wanted was a bit stupid...
Girl #1: "She's being a cow."
Girl #2: "Totally."
Girl #1: "So, big deal-- so I want to get a couple of eyelash extensions. It's not like I'm going to get them every day of my life or anything. And anyway, it's part of a present... It's not like i'm spending my OWN money on them, and anyway, some people spend their own money on worse things."
Girl #2: "God, totally."

Musical Chairs
Overheard at Belle & Sebastian gig in the Ambassador last night. Over zealous dictatorial female security guard (you know the type) shouting at a fan who stood up to dance, front row on the balcony.
"SIT DOWN! SIT DOWN! This is your last warning! If you want to stand, you have'll have to sit somewhere else!"

Show me the way...
This was a couple of years ago while working behind the bar on a quiet sunday evening. Myself and a friend were enjoying a nice easy shift when suddenly the door of the bar flies open and a flustered looking guy jogs up to the counter.
Guy: "Hey chief, what's the quickest way to dundrum?"
My mate: "Well that depends, are you walking or driving?"
Guy: "I'm driving"
My mate: "Yep, that's the quickest way alright"
