Middle-aged black woman comes down the stairs of her house, casually dressed in black sweats and pink Crocs.
Younger woman walking with a friend on the other side of Lewis Ave. in fresh Nike Air Max sees her and shouts, “Hey girl! How you doin?”
Pink Crocs: “Heeeey! How YOU doin’? How’re my girls?”
Air Max, never slowing her stride: “Too grown.”

The older girl, about 8 years old, to the younger girl of about 4: “When y’all come from school, put on some play shoes ‘cause I’mma take you and Kira to…” 4 year-old was riveted. Thought of them a few minutes later in the supermarket and smiled. (via @feminista09)
Overheard from an apartment in Bed-Stuy at 2AM on a Saturday night/technically Sunday morning. A (most probably) drunken dude on the street outside speaking to women who could be heard for a second but were obviously walking away from him.
“Save your money. Save your fucking money. Stop buying those high heels and save your money, Ma. GOD BLESS YOU!”

Overheard through the window of Brooklyn apartment…
Child on the street crying.
Woman 1: “It’s your own fault.”
Woman 2: “Your head hurts? Cause you screaming like you ain’t got no sense!”
Child cries louder.

Two black boys, around 7 or 8 years old, walking hurriedly down the street in Bed-Stuy on a rainy afternoon.
Boy #1: “I’m gonna tell you why you’re a punk… [inaudible]”
A few seconds later, Boy #2: “Awww, man!”
If that was his response, maybe his frenemy had a point?

Short-haired, cool-looking white woman wearing black leather jacket, jeans, open-toed wedges and black toe nail polish. Bopping down Montague St. in Bklyn Heights alone, to no one in particular and without prompting: “Hells yeah…”

Where: NYU Lounge
When: Just before Christmas break
Who: Two alums and a teacher. One alum decidedly more dick-headish than the other.
Alum #1: “I’m happy. It’s kind of slow now, with the holiday season and all, but I have no complaints. Just hoping to make some money in the new year, you know?” (laughs)
Teacher: “Oh, no worries. That’s definitely coming to you. {Dickhead Alum} here can attest to that. It’s always hurry up and wait right?”
Dickhead Alum: “Not for me. I’m making money. Sony just funded my last project and this new company is giving me loot for this new project this month. I’m making money.”
I don’t know if this is HOTS worthy but I found it kind of unabashedly disgusting!

Arab-American proprietor of the local bodega, talking on the phone as he pleasantly rings up customers: “I turned you on to that twitter shit, now you on there more than him. Stop sweatin’ my boy!”

Walking past 2 young brothas, chatting on Lewis Ave. in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.
Guy 1: “Bad bitches out here…”
Guy 2: “I know. Stupid bitches. I got bitches that I stay with but…”
On the way back 5 minutes later…
Guy 2: “So, listen nigga, I was like this. Lemme stay with my loyal bitch…”
(via @feminista09 who says: “What made this even funnier is that I’d just read this. Pretty sure they knew all 90.)
Frozen food aisle of small, somewhat ghetto supermarket in Bed-Stuy, Bklyn (that always has jamming music playing). Black boy, about 7 years-old, quietly to himself, while his mother is a couple of feet away: “P-p-p-poker face, poker face…”
