Eavesdropping

Today I participated in three of my favourite activities; reading the paper, drinking coffee and listening to other people's conversations.
These two girls were sitting beside me and discussing how the brunette's boyfriend had surprised her with a road trip to Montreal and Quebec City. This girl was not at all focused on this nice gesture her boyfriend made, and she didn't even find any romance in it. Aren't girls supposed to want romance? She was more concerned about how she would possibly spend a week straight with her boyfriend. She actually listed off people she would rather spend a week in Montreal with! And she didn't like having the trip sprung on her either. Apparently, she has better things to do than go away for a week. Girls like this drive me nuts. These are the ones who bitch and whine when they don't have a boyfriend, and then as soon as they get one they start by talking about how great he is and they try to set up all their single (and of course lonely and pathetic) girlfriends. Not long after this all these girls do is bitch about everything her boyfriend does but will not break up with him.
The funniest thing about this conversation - for a cynic like me - was when her friend (the blonde) suggested that one thing they could do on their trip is break up. The brunette went on to explain to the blonde that she could break up with him now because he has her TV and espresso machine and she doesn't have the room for them right now. Ah yes, the age old reason for staying in a relationship - he has my stuff. I was tempted to tell her I'd gladly take the espresso machine off her hands, even though I don't have the room. Her boyfriend also sounds nice, I could probably make better use of him than her, and I would gladly go to Montreal!
Isn't eavesdropping fun?!
