Anthropomorphisation took on new levels this week when a humble snack was credited with human feeling, as overheard by jamesogilvie: "Oh my god, my pretzel's happy too!"

Over overheards, first from the Facebook group:

Paul Jewell

Overheard on a noisy No1 Bus;
"I need to buy an Argus."
"Wot do ya need to buy in Argos?"
"No, a Newspaper!"
"Wot? They sell newspapers in Argos now?"

Beckie Grant

Two kids at Brighton College
Number 1: I only have two imaginary friends now
Number 2: What happened to the other two?
Number 1: They died.

And from Twitter:

jamesogilvie - "Family ASBOs - I assume they come at a discounted rate?"

WilkyWoo - "I thought I fancied him at first - then I realised I just really hated him."

nikkib - Woman in Waitrose wine aisle: "It's called Robert something, um..." points at red "I think it's Robert Mugabe?"

leifkendall - "You are a snowball waiting to happen."

rapella - She: "Stop it, you sound like an old codger with false teeth." He: "But I AM an old fodger with calse teef!"

BrightonArgusJo - to IT bod "What do you actually do? You just wander round the office trying to find someone to play Doom with."

(For the record, said IT bod works very hard, and hasn't played Doom in many years.)
