An anonymous career banker inside Goldman Sachs opened a twitter account (@GSElevator) with the intention of revealing the hilarious banter that takes place in the privacy of the GS elevators. Since then, the account has evolved to include things overheard on trading floors, bullpens, lobbies and bars. Some of the conversations involve more than one person, and the participants are distinguishable by their number (#1, #2, #3).

Here are some of my favorites from the past several months…

#1: "Groupon… Food stamps for the middle class."

#1: "If you can only be good at one thing, be good at lying… because if you’re good at lying, you’re good at everything."

#1: "My garbage disposal eats better than 98% of the world."

#1: "Living my life is like playing Call of Duty on Easy. I just go around and fuck shit up."

#1: "I never give money to homeless people. I can’t reward failure in good conscience."

#1: "By now, protesters just look like pigeons to me."
