Overheard at @AMNH
5yo: what’s that?
Dad: that’s a badger. You know when I tell you to stop badgering me? I mean to stop being like that guy.

@MetroNorth the Day Pass policy auto-activates tickets immediately, even before boarding. My group spent about $50 on tickets from Scarsdale to Grand Central, then the trains we needed was canceled and we missed our timing completely. 1/2
@MetroNorth we never had a chance to actually use the service we paid for, yet the app says Day Passes are “nonrefundable.” How is that fair when the cancellations were entirely on Metro-North’s side? Please help process a refund or escalate this issue.
Work used to be: “here’s the project.”
Now it’s: “we were very intentional about this project.”
Like okay, Brenda, I assumed you didn’t do it by accident. https://t.co/DiYb0NluEe via @NYTimes
Not me finding out the lyric in “That’s So True” by Gracie Abrams is “ooooh, bet you’re thinking she’s so cool” and not “ooooh, bacon egg and cheese so good.”
To be fair, I first heard it at @dunkindonuts.
@lannnary Was at a work happy hour where everyone was 25–29 and someone called the 22-year-old a “baby.” He was like “I’m NOT, I’m 22!” and that’s when I, at 39, realized it was time for me to float upward and disappear into the night like the elder I am.
The playground is just a battleground of parents’ competing iPhone timers and kids negotiating for 5 more minutes. Meanwhile, I'm out here trying to convince my kid to adopt another parent’s timer.
@ConEdison Appreciate the response, but this issue is bigger than just one account—it’s affecting all of us. Hoping @ConEdison leadership is paying attention. #WeSeeYou
@ConEdison Just got our ConEd bill and it's so high we had to check if we accidentally bought the whole grid. By the looks of it, we ALL got the same nonsense charges and are all onto you. #ConEdScam#FixThisNow
When guided meditation says "we're going to breathe," I start breathing. Then they say "take a deep breath in…1..2..3…” when I’ve already started. Now I'm like, double inhale or just try to undo this breath? Inner calm? Shattered.
@MTA since this isn’t the first time this happens, I must request, if a local 6 train at 14th street is going to skip Astor place and head to bleecker, KINDLY make CONTINUOUS announcements of this. It’s not sufficient to do so just for the people already on the subway.
I like to pretend my laundry routine is nailed, but the reality? I wash clothes, but the dryer’s full, so the dry ones pile up on top. When I finally need the space, I move them to a bin and fold them whenever I get around to it, but never enough to feel like a chore.
@British_Airways@British_Airways I'm surprised your customer engagement process doesn't prioritize urgent matters. Our serious concerns are being treated as if we had complained about missing peanuts.
@British_Airways We submitted a claim 7 days ago re a distressing experience on our business class flight. As a pregnant passenger with a young child, we faced unhelpful and unprofessional behavior from crew members. Please address this before our return trip. #CustomerService
@British_Airways@British_Airways Still waiting response to our distressing experience beyond “you’re in queue.” Flight attendants restrained our 3 yr-old and were dismissive of us. Only closer to landing did they offer a working solution. Our return flight is tomorrow—please resolve this ASAP.
@OwlLunch Oh it’s such an old tv/movie trope. Someone moves into a new apartment and they’ll be like oh what’s that smell? Oh you’re right next to an Indian restaurant
I appreciate @Delta this time around for understanding and the flexibility in allowing me to get a credit for my canceled flight. Your #customerservice was smooth during a challenging time. #Delta
