Introducing Ask Torontoist
City of Toronto Releases Union Offer Details
Overheard at the Queen & Dovercourt Starbucks.
Woman: He was just really possessive and calling me all the time, and hanging around near my apartment. It was bordering on stalking.
Friend: Oh my God. Is he a Pisces?

I am oblivious to this sense of humour, excuse me while I research horoscopes.
...are these supposed to be funny?
I feel like I'm reading Family Circus, minus Not Me and Ida Know.
Family Circus... I used to like those comics when I was a kid where I would follow the pointless path of that kid. Now that I look back on it, I wish that kid walked into the fireplace and died. Just my opinion though.
Astrology is dumb.
Meh. I think Astrology gets more credit then it's worth, but there are alot dumber things then it.
Hey, just because there are dumber things doesn't mean it isn't dumb.
Dumb?
atomeyes99: It's an acquired taste. Things you overhear on the streets can definitely be funny.
Astrology shouldn't get any credit for anything.
Also: "a lot", "than it"... What are you, a Leo?
No reason this should be a funny feature.
I think it's mildly amusing and interesting that someone would hear the problem and the first question asked is "is he a Pisces?".
It shows how different people can be.
Jeez, I probably gave myself away as an Aquarian.
Nope, Taurus actualy. Stubborn & lazy. The details are incredibly accurate and in no way does it have anything to do with my internet addiction and enjoyment of Grunge music.

Again, Streeter is older than overheard.it
By 3 years.
umm... who cares?
my comment was directed at the people wanting something that might be mildly funny.
This isn't. Overheard.it is!
You cared when you had a fit over Torontoist "copying" the idea.
lol @ 'a fit'.
lol @ your fit right now.
Actual item from the supposedly mildly amusing overheard.it:
Advantage: Streeter.
considering overheard.it has 16130+ posts on it, I'm sure it's easy to pick out a bad one.
