61B, Oakland:

JumpStart Chick #1: So she just ran up to me and hugged me, and she was like, “Oh my god! I haven’t seen you in so long!” And I was like “Um … I don’t like you.” And it was weird ’cause the guy who was with her, he seemed like a nice guy; he had a look on his face like he was saying, “I’m sorry.” So I was like, “I’m sorry too.”
She was warm, but it was still kind of creepy.
JumpStart Chick #2: Wait: She was warm?
JumpStart Chick #1: Yeah, I’ve been chilly ever since I’ve had this cold.
JumpStart Chick #2: Oh. Right…
[...]
JumpStart Chick #1: Do you think I’m pleasant? I think everyone should be pleasant.

Forbes / Shady, Squirrel Hill.
A small dog sits on a bench, wagging its tail next to a woman in her 50s:

Woman: STOP VIBRATING!
[Dog continues to wag.]
Woman: YOU HEARD ME!

Following a rambling, misinformed political discussion:

Well-Dressed Pimp Daddy With a Walking Stick: You shouldn’t believe everything you read.
Dirty-Blonde Pony Tail Chick: You’re smart. How’d you get to know so much?
Pimp Daddy: I’m well-read.
