Overheard at Safeway

A number of "Overheard at [insert populous and relatable location here]" websites have popped up over the last few years.  Popular with cynics and people who think they are smarter than the average man/womyn on the street, "Overheard at..." sites quote things others overhear while going about their day to day business.  For instance, Overheard in New York (http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/) recently posted the following:

Girl sitting with friends listening to music: Ohmigod, the guy who sings this song is sooooooo ugly!
Friend: Really?
Girl: My family said I look like him.
and the successor to Overheard at Western (http://overheardatwestern.blogspot.com/), Eavesdrop Western (http://eavesdropwestern.blogspot.com/) recently posted the following:
A group of first year girls are talking about getting good fake IDs
Girl#1: I think it's really awesome if you can get your sibling's ID, cause then they usually look like you, and you already know all of the information.
Girl#2: Oh my god, you know what would be amazing?! If you could get your twin's ID! They would look EXACTLY like you!
I overheard something the other day at the grocery store that has caused me to consider starting my own website entitled "Overheard at Safeway":

Guy #1, while looking at what looks like a shopping list or a recipe: Should we get fresh garlic or garlic powder?
Guy #2: We could just get fresh garlic and break it up to get the powder out.
