If you’ve ever spent any time in LA, you know that it’s a special kind of culture there. Unique to say the least.

Just spend a little time walking around without headphones on and you’re sure to overhear some fascinating little tidbits of conversation.

One enterprising Instagram account decided to start collecting these tidbits and sharing them with the rest of us, and man, they are all winners.

20. You don’t know you’re beautiful

How many times do you think this dude has tried this line and how often do you think it’s worked?

19. Exchange rate

Oh, LA. Never change.

6. Just to be safe

Dang lady, what are you gettin’ up to out there?

5. Swing and a miss

This is a common tactic by hucksters – yell something like this out to enough people and at least a few of them will be anxious enough about their current situation to come pay you to hear more.
The downside of course is the number of relationships it almost certainly ruins.

I feel like our entire economy is now TikTok based and I won’t lie, I’m terrified.
