Ah, Washington DC, the seat of American power. However, if you think it’s all about seriousness, clandestine meetings, and Machiavellian plots all the time, sadly, you’re mistaken. Of course, there’s a lot of that going on in the background, but one thing that we tend to forget is that the people living and working (and, yes, even plotting) in Washington are just that—people. With very human dreams, ambitions, weaknesses, and silly conversations.
These conversations are out of this world and the massively popular ‘Overheard Washington DC’ Instagram page has the proof. It features bizarre and interesting snippets of gossip and conversations overheard by those living in DC. And you’d better grab some popcorn because they’re entertaining as heck!
As you’re scrolling down, upvote your favorite tidbits from ‘Overheard Washington DC.’ And if you happen to live and work there, we’d absolutely love to hear more about the hustle and bustle in the political heart of the United States.
Bored Panda reached out to the team behind 'Overheard Washington DC' and they were kind enough to go in-depth about their project. We started the account at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 and have been the fastest-growing page in the DC area in just a short period of time with one of the highest engagements," a representative of the Instagram page told me. "Our goal has also been to tell the world the story of DC and provide insight into our city through comedy. There is more to our beautiful city than just politics and politicians."

So she's so insane, that men will marry the first woman they meet after leaving her ?
'Overheard Washington DC' has seen some amazing growth since the start of 2020. And it doesn't look like it will be stopping any time soon.
"We have grown by 110% in the past year alone and to answer your second question, we receive between 70-100 submissions a day and mostly select overheards that we think are relatable to our community. We do occasionally select outlandish overheards that may not be. We think people relate to the content because we highlight issues such as dating, rising prices, an unaffordable housing market and everyday struggles that we all share," the representative explained to Bored Panda that their content is very relatable to the average Instagram user who happens to live in DC or knows about the culture.

I'm not sure how nuclear codes work, but I have to assume that it's highly fictionalized in movies. I can't imagine it's the same as your email password or that it's 100% in one person's discretion whether to use them or not. (At least, I really, really, really hope in this day and age that no president can just unilaterally launch nuclear weapons without consulting congress, his/her/their generals, his/her/their cabinet, etc.)
Buzz Anderson 4 years ago
Actually the president has the authority to LAUNCH AS ANY TIME. The reason being if there is an immediate crisis and we do not have time for congress to debate where we should retaliate against a nuclear attack for years at a time. he can literally press the LAUNCH BUTTON and give the codes in the Football and they can launch within 3 minutes. WITH the idiot we had last term the Pentagon made sure other countries were aware we had a moron and no nukes would be fired unless THEY had confirmation. HE could not be trusted to not start a nuclear war in order to stay in office.

‘Overheard Washington DC’ currently has just over 100k followers on Instagram, as well as a further 12.5k fans on TikTok. The conversations they feature are raw, powerful, and funny because they’re honest and presented without much context. We’re sure that many of you Pandas wouldn’t expect to hear most of these things on the streets in DC.
"In such a vibrant and fast-paced city like DC, connections can be hard to find. We created Overheard DC to bring people together through shared experiences, satire and humor," the rep told Bored Panda. "We hope to continue to use comedy and shared interests to make as many connections as possible."
Odds are that you've heard at least about one 'Overheard' account on Instagram in the past. However, keep in mind that 'Overheard Washington DC' isn't affiliated with the 'Overheard LA' project umbrella that encompasses 'Overheard New York' and other accounts. They're an offshoot.

The similarly titled ‘Overheard’ project is very vast by now. Odds are that you’ve heard about at least one of their Instagram accounts, whether it’s ‘Overheard LA’, ‘Overheard New York,’ ‘Overheard Bumble,’ or many of the others. They have a strong online presence and their posts are bound to cross your social media feed sooner or later.
The person to thank for the entire ‘Overheard’ empire is Jesse Margolis. He founded ‘Overheard LA’ in 2015 and has secured its legacy in the years that followed. They work with some major companies (like Netflix, Bumble, and others) and even publish a print-only witty newsletter, ‘The Overheard Post,’ that Jesse himself helps deliver in person.
With such a well-received approach on social media, it's no wonder that they've inspired others to follow in their footsteps.

With how important Washington DC is in American life, it’s no surprise that ‘Overheard Washington DC’ isn’t the only Instagram account to showcase peculiar conversations in the capital.
For instance, the account shouldn’t be mixed up with the very similar ‘Overheard District’ (aka ‘District Connected’) page that was started in 2019. The latter is almost identical in terms of content and its logo, however, they’re two very separate projects.

I've never watched Seinfeld other than about 15 minutes and thought it was mean spirited and dumb.

It was a product of its times, a time when it was pretty much standard issue to be as jaded and cynical as possible. I found it hilarious back then but am sure it's aged really, really poorly. OTOH I never would have predicted one of the better aged sitcoms from the '90s would be "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air", but here we are.

Covering a comment is pointless - they get downvoted and hidden if that is what the majority want. That way everyone has a choice and not just one person.

Lived in DC for 22 years. I still have the feeling people support the Walgreens pharmacy when I see them dressed for a Nationals game.

As a US citizen, I was puzzled too. I wondered if Nationals was their generic brand.

In the US? No. Rethuglicans have done their damndest to gut public education, and where they hold sway their followers wear willful ignorance as a badge of pride. See, actual education is "commie hippy liberal brainwashin's" because critical thinking is antithetical to the anti science party.

I have heard exactly the opposite, because culture comes with the artist, and at this point in my life i have never heard one asking to be charged more for anything including living space

Well, don't, duh! Thats basically rule number one of social skills : never try to start a conversation with a stranger! That's rude and weird, so you will probably be physically assaulted.

Well, DC not being in any of the 50 states IS a confusing weird thing.

I think it's that way so no state can claim to have the capital in their state

The moral of this story is that "funny" doesn't always mean HAHA. Sometimes it means HMM... Still got a kick out of it, even the HMM parts. *wink*

Why is ruth badger Ginsburg on here, there have been nine men on the Supreme Court,so why not nine women. Why is that funny?
Diane Aguilar 4 years ago
Let me explain this to you: for CENTURIES the Supreme Court consisted of nine men. Nine men who were responsible for determining civil rights for all in this country, women included. It took until 1981 when Ronald Reagan appointed Sandra Day O'Connor to get any women onto the highest court in the land. What Ruth Bader Ginsberg was saying was that there will not be parity until there comes a time when there are nine women on the Supreme Court, just like there were nine men for many, many, MANY years.
