Overheard in Seattle: Stoned, Stupid or Trashed?

Come on downnnnnnnnnnnnn, Seattle!!!! ((to be read in famed “Price is Right” announcer Rod Roddy style)). Welcome to the Emerald City’s new favorite game, in which YOU the audience decide whether one of your fellow residents is drunk, high or just plain dumb.

In all seriousness, folks, we’ve gotten in a fresh batch of Seattle’s best/worst overheard conversations this week that we just can’t quite make heads or tails of. They are not only ripe for the ridiculing and worthy of some raised eyebrows, but they also have us seriously questioning whether the vast majority of Seattle’s verbal criminals can be sorted into these three distinct categories.

We’ll let you be the judge. Weed, booze or natural numb-headedness? Let’s play.

“Beer before liquor, never been evil-er.”

Overheard: Man with a pentagram carved into his forehead says to a lady in a suit, "Well you mixed your alcohol, that was the problem."

Ummm, let’s just stick to historical facts and notable landmarks.

Overheard: Tour guide says to a group, "If you want you can play with the parking meters... they are solar powered."

Thanks to @OHHeyBetty for this overheard.

And I put a stack of cash under my mattress in my unlocked Sodo apartment - we’re clever b*itches!

Overheard on the now infamous 358 bus: "I put it in my key pocket, no one will find it.”

From @odditonic

Isn’t tylenol is the bomb?

Another overheard gem from the 385 bus: "It'll kick in in a few minutes. Then you'll have a real buzz."

Thanks again to @odditonic.

We’re still trying to figure out whether this genius was going for some deeper Ulysses meets full bladder reference, or if this was merely a safe sex on the brain Freudian slip.

Overheard near the Convention Center bus stop "I gotta piss like a Trojan racehorse!"

From @pixycat

When you know a yuppy tourist has “had enough”.

Overheard at a winery on Bainbridge: "You wanna get a root beer float after this?"
