Overheard in Idaho Falls
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to the newsletter or RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
People are imperfect.
People say silly or stupid things to each other daily.
Sometimes you overhear these things and it makes you laugh.
I hope you have read some of the short quips at overheardinnewyork.com Be aware of some extreme language at that site.
Since we already have a geographically-tied public forum, I figure it’s okay to copy that website’s idea on our local level. I hate the word and idea copy. However I seriously doubt that they plan to expand from New York down to Idaho Falls, Idaho.
So let’s grow it locally from the ground up.
Let us share funny overheard conversations in and around Idaho Falls.
When you are out and about in the area, and you overhear a funny conversation snippet, remember this IFz thread and try to remember the conversation later in a comment to this thread.
Please no names, just describe the actors generally.
Please bleep any swearing.

Awesome idea. Can’t wait to pass along a few quips.
Speaking of quips, I work in a fabric store and a few weeks back there was a guy standing at the cutting table behind a few lady customers with a puzzled look on his face.
I said, “Can I help you find something?”
He replied, “Well, can’t you see I’m a guy.”
“Y–e–s,” I ventured.
Everyone laughed and one of the female customers said, “That’s
pretty obvious.”
Snickers all around.
The guy, “Well, I do need some help, but I thought it would be obvious, since I’m a guy.”
(Oh)
I did explain to him that we get quite a number of men who shop there regularly. . .so I didn’t know when he said he was a guy - that he thought it would be obvious that he needed help.
