40 Times People Accidentally Eavesdropped On Conversations And Weren’t Disappointed

I have to admit that eavesdropping is one of my favorite activities. I try not to indulge too often, to respect the privacy of others and because I typically have earbuds in while riding on the bus. But every now and then, I strike gold and happen to catch the most entertaining conversations without even trying!

Clearly, I’m not the only one who knows this experience, as Redditors have recently been sharing the funniest things that they’ve overheard strangers say in public. So enjoy scrolling through this list full of confusing and amusing conversations, and be sure to upvote the ones that you would have liked to hear more of!

40 Times People Accidentally Eavesdropped On Conversations And Weren’t Disappointed I overheard someone saying "tell the exorcist I'm on my way".

I turned back to take a pick to who said that . It was a younger lady (40's maybe) and an elder in her 80's, and they were sitting behind me on the subway. Then I face front again and hear in a sort of a whisper "mom it's not an exorcist it's a therapist." I couldn't hold my giggles.

40 Times People Accidentally Eavesdropped On Conversations And Weren’t Disappointed On the London tube, in 2019, a Dutch young lady sat next to me. She was clearly on a "walk of shame", and on the phone, describing, in some detail, last night's sexual endeavours. She was obviously assuming no one could understand what she was saying.

My family was standing close. By the time she was done recounting how she and her date had made love for eight(!) hours, I asked my oldest daughter, who was standing next to me, whether she wanted to sit. In Dutch 😁.

A stressed father and his little son in the morning commute rush. The dad yelled at his son for not walking fast enough, with his back turned to the escalator. The son said "but daaad, it's going the wrong way", upon which the dad answered "come on for f**k's sake, stop messing around". Then the dad, still with his back facing the escalator, took a step back on it and just like the boy had stated, the stairs went in the opposite direction- consequently causing the dad to faceplant on the ground in front of the escalator. The dad: "Ooooouch! ..... Daddy was wrong, kiddo....".

I stepped up to the bar to close a tab and was standing next to a couple who I assumed were on a first date. I was only there long enough to hear the guy say “I’m not saying I’d do it. Right? I’m not. I’m just saying that I understand - in the right circumstances, like if you were stuck on an island, for like years - why someone would f**k a sheep…”

If your date said that to you at Cesar’s Killer Margaritas around 2016, I’ve been dying to know how the rest of that conversation went.

40 Times People Accidentally Eavesdropped On Conversations And Weren’t Disappointed I'm cruising the fruits and veggies section at the grocery store, 2 female produce department employees are stocking the banananas. One, likely in training at the time, asks the other "Should the greener ones go at the back?" to which the other replies, "It doesn't matter, a banana's a banana, woman!" Right at that moment, a very large man on a motorized scooter with an oxygen tube in his nose comes around the corner and makes it apparent he only heard the last two words of the employees exchange by shouting "What the hell is a 'banana woman'!?"

I laughed out loud.

Couple standing at the self-service till in the supermarket. The woman goes to get her purse out of her bag and complains to her boyfriend that the ‘zip on zip’ is broken. He looks puzzled and asks her what a zip on zip is. She stares at him in incomprehension and gestures at the zip on her bag and says ‘The zip on zip! What do you think I mean?’. Both he and most of the queue behind them look at the zip on the bag, trying to work out what it is that makes it a zip on zip. There is nothing special about it. It is just a zip. He stares at it for awhile and then, in the voice of one who knows he is probably about to be yelled at, asks he if she just means the zip. She throws her hands up in the air and storms off, leaving him to pay for the shopping. He turns to the queue with a confused look on his face, like he is questioning his sense of reality. We all give him sympathetic smiles that aim to communicate that we have no bloody clue what she was going on about either.

I'm passionate about animal welfare, sustainability and eating delicious food. But as you can see, I cover a wide range of topics including drama, internet trends and hilarious memes. I can easily be won over with a Seinfeld reference, vegan pastry or glass of fresh cold brew.

I was sat behind two elderly men on a bus once. They were talking about Jack Russells, and at one point, one man says “I don’t know why they do, but they do seem to have issues”

One of my favorites: in the catacombs beneath Paris. A man to his date (whom he was obviously trying to impress) “the nose bones are the most fragile, that’s why they’re all broken off the skulls.” She nodded pensively. 🙄🤦‍♀️

There was a strike of cab drivers. The buses were packed. A very elegant older woman gets on the bus, sits grandly down, and says to the bus driver "Cathedral Mansions Apartments, please." Everybody on the packed bus broke out laughing.

In a Los Angeles restaurant: Two burly men were in the booth next to us, and one said to the other, "I'm going to the john. Don't break anything and don't hurt anybody."

My cousin was walking down a street recounting her difficult morning wake up to us since she was staying at my aunt's place for the summer, and my aunt had a chihuahua back then. A bunch of poor souls stared in disbelief at us when they overheard a segment of her story - "...she kept licking and licking me, but her breath stank like hell..." I burst out laughing

One time In middle school I walked out into the courtyard during lunch and noticed a 7th grade girl crying. As I walked by, she said to her friend "I just can't believe he dumped me for a bag of Takis."

One day when I still attended church, a young kid was in a pew swinging a rosary around and around quietly...when the priest stopped talking he started spinning the rosary faster and yelled "HANG ON, JESUS!' His parents couldn't get him out of the church fast enough, lol.

Downtown Seattle bus stop. An apparently homeless man approaches a young woman who looks like an office worker. Politely asks for her number. She very nicely agrees to give him her work number. He produces an avocado. "Here, write it on this." (She produced a piece of paper to use.) At a different downtown Seattle bus stop, an apparently homeless man comes along trying to sell ONE white, knee high, high heeled boot. No takers there, so he moved along.

This reminds me of a young woman talking on her phone in a supermarket. As I walked past I heard her saying 'and I told him if he ever does that again, I'm cutting it off!' I didn't hang around to hear the rest of the conversation.

Not an "overheard" conversation, but the funniest thing I heard coming in in the middle of a discussion was on the radio. I turned it on, and a woman said, "No, no! You can GENTLY plow turtles."

I was talking to a colleague in a big shared office and after a while wanted to see who else was listening. So I said "and this is why you should never go skiing naked". A woman behind a partition laughed loud

I was at my friend's wedding, and his younger sister was sitting with us at the reception. I didn't hear what she said to him, but he turned to her, and in a soft voice, said, "You know, you could be a supermodel if you'd just stop picking your scabs." It took all my willpower not to bust up laughing.

I did jury duty. During a break i had a technical support call in front of the other jurors. I said "Have you checked the phantoms?", "Kill the daemons and restart them", and stuff like that. The jurors were all perplexed at my side of the conversation. I hung up and one little old lady comes up to me and says: "It's Unix, isn't it?".

I had the pleasure of overhearing a small girl try to convince her grandpa that he needed a pair of mice (I was at a pet store). Grandpa asked why he needed mice. "You could wear them as earmuffs!"

I used to work in a print shop. One day, one of the salesmen came down to chat with my boss. I heard them talking about golf courses, then I had the press running. I couldn't hear what they were saying until I turned the press off and heard the salesman say "I heard they were going to start letting JEWS in there." I busted out laughing and they looked at me like I was insane.

I was sitting in the ER late one night when paramedics came in with a woman on a stretcher. She was screaming at the top of her lungs. "Get the alien off me !!" I had to put my hand over my mouth to keep from laughing out loud.

My bestie friend Kim and I were walking around Central Park, singing like we were Ann-Margret and Neil Diamond. The pigeons were hopping around us, and we were having a grand time. Then, out of nowhere, a little girl dressed like an Addams Family version of Madeline came running up. She jumped really hard, scattering all the birds and yelled, ‘I hate parties!’ She continued jumping around, chasing every bird in sight. Wide-eyed, we looked at each other, stunned, and quietly turned to walk away. It took us a while before we started singing again. I’m thinking of making an AI movie short with all these quotes… but who knows if that’ll actually happen
