I was waiting in line and there was a young man and woman behind me. It went something like this:<br /><br />Woman: I like this arrangement. <br />Man: Yeah, it works.<br />Woman: You could be engaged and I wouldn't know it. You could even be married and I wouldn't know it.<br />Man: You could be engaged too and I wouldn't know it.<br />Woman: I hope she treats you right.<br />Man: She does. It's not about that. I hope yours treats you right too<br />Woman: Yeah he does. Hold this for me? (I guess she handed him something)<br />Man: No<br />Woman: This will be the last interaction we ever have. (joking)<br />Man:Fine.<br />Woman: How should we act if I ever see her?<br />Man: Act? I'm going to act normal.<br /><br />And then I got called to the register.

It's probably why he is always barfing. They're carnivores by nature. Watch them chase a mouse. Not the tofu kind.<br /><br />I eavesdrop everywhere but the worst is at the restaurant. Ang realizes I am not paying any attention to her, instead I am listening to the couple next to us. It's super embarrassing when someone at the table behind us makes a joke and I bust out laughing. I forget that I am not with them and that joke was not for me. I would hate to be my date.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11637237011005059512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-86748017811413571042011-09-09T12:10:19.310-07:002011-09-09T12:10:19.310-07:00There is a vent inn the workout room of our condo ...There is a vent inn the workout room of our condo and you can hear what is being said in the laundry room. This is the conversation that I overheard one day.<br /><br /> "Oh girl, I always leave peppermint next to the bed in case I get excited."<br /> "Uh huh I know what you mean. Mint toothpaste is great too."<br /> "MMMM HMMMM OH GIRL You have no idea !!"<br /> <br /> There was more, but this is pretty much the way the conversation went. I was using the treadmill and it was hard to hear everything, without moving right under the vent. I decided to go into the office to let them know that maybe they should tell the maids that we could hear everything that they were talking about. <br /> Trust me, I did listen for a bit before going to the office, because I didn't want to accuse them of giving out oral sex tips and be wrong. And you know when I told my guy about it he asked if I learned anything new. (eye roll)<br /> Sure enough, the office lady told me the next day that the ladies said they were discussing medical help for Aspergers. HA..

It's HILARIOUS how people think you can't hear them just because they're in their tent/ pop-up. Last summer, there was someone going at it in a tent in the next campsite who kept us up most of the night (holy $#!@ were they loud). We decided to head to the shower house the same time as this girl the next morning and proceeded to recite some of her more embarrassing "dirty talk". We didn't hear a peep from the poor girl the rest of the weekend.Jess Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550784978719254483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-56215940848361381572011-09-08T20:46:23.173-07:002011-09-08T20:46:23.173-07:00I love bathrooms at sporting events, concerts, bar...I love bathrooms at sporting events, concerts, bars, etc. Watching drunk girls attempt to fluff their hair or apply more make-up while discussing their new crash diet.

She had a southern accent so it made it so much better! The ladies' room was out of order. Here's about how it went: "Never in my whole life have I had ta use a men's room 'cause the women's was broken. So, since I got a good head on these shoulders, I'm not gonna sit down, I'm gon' hover....hello? hello? Can you hear me? I said I'm gonna hover. I'm pullin ma pants down. Oh, glad they got this bar right here, 'cause I can hold on to that...so I don't touch the toilet seat." (peeing sounds) "Oh, I had ta go bad.....I said I had to go pee real bad!" (more peeing)<br /><br />At this point, since I, too, had to pee "real bad", I went into the ladies room and went on the broken toilet anyway. I came out and she was still narrating her bathroom experience. I was in disbelief that anyone would stay on the phone giving a play-by-play of their pee session, in a gas station bathroom, no less. I was so hoping I could've stood there to hear the whole thing, but duty called.Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120372082822448349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-82706539788939836282011-09-08T19:46:37.090-07:002011-09-08T19:46:37.090-07:00The bus and Light Rail transit is an astonishingly...The bus and Light Rail transit is an astonishingly good place to eavesdrop. The best one was a few years back, when I happened to be (ahem) in my early 40's. Three barely dressed sweet young things, each of whom was clearly jailbait joined me. At that time the LRT had bench seating facing each other, so 4 people could sit as a group and chat. <br /><br />They chatted about their day at Stampede, especially about the old creep that was following them around and hitting on them periodically. They went on about how old and creepy he was. Now, it is utterly impossible for 3 people to have a conversation and not have the 4th person hear it. Plus during stampede, the barriers are a little lower, if you know what I mean, and no that shouldn't remind you of a video recently posted on this fine blog. <br /><br />I caught the eye of the one SYT and asked how old they thought the creep was, out of curiosity. One of them said, "Oh, really old, like 40, maybe more. Way too old for us." I smiled, and said "And rightly so, that's probably your parent's age, sorry to interrupt." <br /><br />One of them, fractionally less wide between the eyes, if you know what I mean, broke out laughing. Oh, she said, so that's how old you are! I wouldn't have guessed. No offense intended. (Which was nice of her.)Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-85460353235893642332011-09-08T19:31:42.012-07:002011-09-08T19:31:42.012-07:00I sometimes go to Panera to study and I have hear...I sometimes go to Panera to study and I have heard some pretty great conversations there.
