Seen and Overheard in Park Slope: Sleep Trainers & Snow Shovels

Behold: our semi-regular short takes of  the douchey things we've seen and overheard around the neighborhood as we eavesdrop on unsuspecting douchebags. Well, aside from the ones we blog about at length, anyway.

I'll get this shit show started:

From a daily Starbucker who every morning listens in on the inane conversations of a coffee clatch of new mamas.

"This morning I really wanted to punch one of them in her face when she started discussing how she'd recently hired a sleep trainer to come in and do bedtime for her." 

I cry foul on this practice. Do your own GD sleep training. Next, people are going to be bringing back wet nurses. 

This one comes from my daughter and husband: after trying to assist a woman with control issues on Montgomery who stopped traffic for 45 minutes because she wanted to send a message to the guy shoveling his car out and tossing it into the street. All the while, she apparently wouldn't let the gathering crowd of dude drivers stuck behind her help push her Passat out. They were literally begging and pleading to just let them help. Of course, when she finally did, she was out in less than a minute.

"She really should take a nap before getting in her car. She's very grumpy and she wouldn't let anyone help her push the car. What was her problem? She has issues."

And finally, I'm calling a trend. FUR IS BACK. Not that faux shit, either. Real mink coats are coming out of hiding. I've seen at least 5 in the last week and I say three's a trend. This is a revolution of fabulousness! Just in time for faux FIPS to move upstate to start a mink trapping business too.

Your turn...anything good this week? Leave it in the comments.
