Eavesdrop by Adam

INSTRUCTIONS: Eavesdrop, documenting the conversation verbatim. Don't get caught!

Unfortunutly I have been rendered camera-less by the cruel gods of fate but I was looking for tasks I could do sans-camera. Here is one and I put myself in plenty of good situations to complete this.

Today, after college, I decided to complete it and as I boarded the 7A bus home I made a concious decision about where to sit to see who would be the most interesting. There was a middle-aged woman with dyed red hair, a large canvas bag and an Iceland carrier bag who seemed like a good subject. I sat right in front of her and took out my Moleskine notebook to start transcribing her conversation and this is how it went.

[Into her phone]
Yeah so he chucked her off the bus
I know
Yeah
Apparently she couldn't get back to Caister either
Well yeah, not at that time of night.
Anyway how is Michelle?
Uha, yeah, uha, awwww.
So it went all over Tom?
No way.
Are you at a computer?
Ok
Now?
Well Ross wanted me to ask you for something.
His computer is broken and he needs something for his homework
Ive got a list here.
Have you got a pen?
[produces list from handbag]
He wants you to open up Internet Explorer
Its in the 'taskbar'
Yeah, then click in the address box
I don't know, near the top somewhere?
Then go to the Google website.
It's a search engine or something.
Then type in 'green'
'house'
'gases'.
Now click on the top result. Oh you have to press enter.
The one with return written on it.
Now then click the top one.
I dont think so, do you have a virus checker?
Ok.
Now can you print that out?
I don't know, it doesn't say, ask Maddy.
If you could bring it to the Falstoffe [pub] tonight.
Yeah we're gonna have a few bevvys, drink it down.
Ill have a round on you after the whole Mary incident.
Tell me about it.
Stupid [swear].
Ok Ive got to get off now, oh right.
Chat to you tonight.
Yeah cheers.

This is my first experience with creating a task and having someone complete it! It feels pretty cool - thanx and good job!

Thanks. Sorry I couldn't have done it more justice but I think I adequately completed it.

I don't think it's that sad. From what I'm heard she's a stupid [swear].

At a guess?
Vomit.

Great Yarmouth is full of binge drinkers.
