Once I listened to a stepmother semi-hysterically relate how she had had to put her possibly-autistic step-child's ancient awful cat down. It was pretty priceless. The child was about six years old. The woman felt bad about it but was also milking the story for attention. The cat had gone down for surgery and they just weren't able to wake it up again at the vet. I believe she was able to bring the 6 year old (and other kid) in to say goodbye before they gave up on resuscitation. She said it looked like a leather handbag the way it was stitched up. I also listened to one guy talk about how he'd been cheated on in every relationship that mattered. That got pretty boring fast though. I eavesdrop a fair bit at the bar. Most of it's not that interesting though. More interesting? trying to guess which # date a couple is on.
