Other people's problems

08:30 AM PT, Dec 30 2007
I am just waking up from a late night at the Hard Rock. I forgot that one of the great joys of Vegas is witnessing other people's domestic strife. Cab lines are especially good for this: people waiting in the cold, arguing, and, of course, other people's yelled phone calls!
 
Divorcing guy in the cab line: "Jenny, just take it all. OK, I don't want to fight anymore. I'll be home in few days, and you can just take everything!"
 
Elevators are great spots for this sort of eavesdropping as well. Heading down from my room at the Hard Rock to the casino last night, I heard a man attempt to offer his girlfriend the following compliment: "You look so hot tonight. You look like a stripper!"
 
I only wish I could offer you her diatribe of obscenities that followed. It was a packed elevator, too. So there were about 10 of us looking at our feet uncomfortably during the incident while enjoying every moment.
