Hyperbole Fail

Seriously, the best place to overhear funny snippets is in the washroom. People seem to forget that people in/outside cubicles can also hear you!

OH in washroom: "I have a dozen and one things to do today!"

So...you have thirteen things to do? BFD, babe. I have about 15, and that's before this afternoon's work comes in.

Seriously, if you're going to use phrases like that to emphasise how much work you have, why wouldn't you say that you have 'a thousand and one' things? Better yet, 'a million things'. Using words like 'dozen' doesn't make you sound smarter!

I have a dozen and one things to do. Pffft.

i OH the other day, at an escape game, where a girl said "everyone is staring at my ass"

it was dark, girl, very dark, and everyone was walking in huge groups, with their focus on the clues in their hands... no one is staring at your ass = = and to be honest, you don't even have one!
