1) While waiting in an elevator in the Conde Nast building I noticed this exchange take place, much to my amusement:
"Could you, um..."
"Sure, which floor?"
"Five."
"No problem."
(He pressed the fifth floor button)
"Thanks."
"Have a good one."
"You too."
(Exits on the fifth floor.)

2) Standing outside my local bodega was a bearded man handing out flyers saying, "Did you vote today?"
A pedestrian stopped, looked at him and said, "Yes. I did."
The bearded man replied, "Ok. Take care."
The pedestrian resumed walking.

3) Overheard at the local coffee shop:
Woman: "Did you see 'Brothers Grimm' yet?"
Man: "No, I want to but just haven't gotten around to it."
Woman: "Oh, well check it out if you have a chance. Its better than it looks in the trailer."
Man: "That's what I heard."
Woman: "So how's everything else going?"
Man: proceeds to relate recent events in his life.
