Overheard outside the Galleria Mall. The customers in question were waiting for the valet to retrieve their rides. I was at the bus stop at the end of the driveway.
She: I mean, I can’t believe it.
He: It’s crazy, all right.
She: Just in the time I’ve been driving, gas has gone up like $50.
He: $50?
She: You know, like, it used to be a dollar a gallon, and now it’s like fifty. It’s all on the news.
He: How long have you been driving?
She: It’s been like, what, a year and a half now.
He: Yep, it’s crazy. But are we supposed to do? Take the bus?
She: There’s a bus?
Valet: Miss! Oh Miss! Your car!
She: (Searching through her bag) Do you have, like, another dollar I can give the valet? I’ll tell him it’s from both of us.
He: (Looking in his wallet) All I’ve got left is a hundred. But I need that for gas.
