Man, Chicagoist never gets tired of eavesdropping—er, overhearing stuff. People! They're hilarious! Anyway, it seems like everytime we hang out, we wind up swapping tidbits of silly stuff we've overheard, so we figured it was time to share that with you, our dear readers.

Cubemate 1: Six Feet Under—the ending was so crazy! And they didn't show the scenes for next week.

Cubemate 2: Maybe the previews got cut off on TiVo. That happens to me sometimes.

Cubemate 2: Live TV is for losers!

So here's where you come in. Every Thursday, we're going to run an Overheard section, but we're but one website: we need your help.
