A list of the best overhearing spots, as reported to me in a random and extemporaneous survey: Anywhere there are sorority girls … Libe Café …s itting in a tree on the Arts Quad when people don’t know you’re there … your mom … near the personal lube at Wegmans … Bear Nasties at 1 AM … sitting outside your window… in the bathroom while people talk on their cellphones … while I pretend to read the newspaper in Okenshield’s … walking really close to people yapping on phones … hiding in freshman shower stalls [at this creepy juncture, I stopped asking]. Where ever you listen, keep sending the best you hear to overheard.cornell@gmail.com. Every Thursday in the Sun.
