Overheard on the Route 7 bus to Rainier Beach around 9 pm.

Heavily tattooed guy on cell phone: "No, baby, I'm just sleeping on her couch. I just tell people she's my girlfriend because it's confusing to people that we still live together. I promise you, there's nothing going on between us."

Two seconds later, on another call: "Hi, baby. See you at home in 10 minutes?"
