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....".

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'!?"

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.

Many years ago, I was in a W.H. Smiths (UK books/newspapers/magazines/toys/games etc. store) idly reading a movie magazine. Standing next to me was a small boy of maybe 8 or 10 years old, engrossed in a copy of Playboy (how he got it down from the very top shelf I have no idea. Even at near full grown I could barely reach). Female staff member takes exception to this, taps him on the shoulder, "You shouldn't be reading that."

I worked nights at a gas station/convenience store for a few months many years ago. I let a group of teenagers loiter out front instead of running them off like a lot of places did. But! it was with the understanding that they wouldn't block the doors, or cause problems. It quickly became "their" hangout, and they protected it fiercely. They knew the local troublemakers, etc. and ran them off. Mine was the only store with no shoplifting, graffiti, or police reports on the night shift. Since they bought lots of snacks, sodas, etc., all night long, I also had record sales for night shift. Eventually, they even took it on themselves to clean the parking lot! Sometimes it pays to let some people loiter..... :)

I have heard theories about drinking through a straw getting you drunk more quickly but it was because you're increasing the opportunity for exchange of alcohol between the fluid in your mouth and the blood in your palate. Looked it up, no evidence for any of the theories - it might still work but because you're just drinking more quickly.

One time, while I was grocery shopping, I overheard a mom tell her young child not to touch anything in the store, because that’s how you get herpes.

One fine day on the subway in Toronto:

Four of us are standing, hanging on to the grab bars and hand straps, and chattering away in Esperanto. I distinctly hear someone nearby say, in English, “I have no idea what language those people are speaking, but it sure is loud!”

Maybe take the hint and try to speak quieter! (Even more annoying: It Could even be perceived as purposefully speaking super loud to show off those Esperanto skills)

Dunno about -est, but this happened last week:

Went into the *men's* bathroom of a niche ski village breakfast diner - picture old antique ski gear, wood-carved bears and quaint German village mystique - and I overheard a *woman* in one of the stalls talking to their teenage *daughter* about something. Apparently, the daughter was constipated.

> Mom: Are you sure you don't want help?

> Daughter: No, Mom. I'm fine

> Mom: Okay, well, I'm just gonna step out and update your Dad, Kay?

> Daughter: Okay, go.

> Mom: And you're sure you don't need a book?

> Daughter: Mom, gosh, I'm old enough to handle my own business without my parents! How just go get Dad and leave me alone!

Guy Divorced 3 Years Ago Drops Off 3 Y.O. With His Ex-Wife Completely Out Of The Blue

Husband and I were in Washington DC once near the white house, was sitting on a bench eating a donut and a woman on a street corner across the street was dressed as a nun, wearing fishnet stockings, and kept pulling her outer garments to her waist (exposing herself) while screaming “I’m celibate”. Weirdly it went on for the entirety we were there in the general vicinity (30mins or so) and she was still going strong when we left. Not a single person acknowledged her or made any attempt to stop her.

I love listening to tourists walking around Disney World because they say the funniest things.
A few of my favorites:

A dad to a kid who was trailing behind tired lying.
"Come on, you can sleep on Ariel."

Another was a couple who were absolutely convinced the Monorail to Epcot was inside the Magic Kingdom. I still wonder how long it took them to realize how wrong they were.

And couple months ago two teenage girls were on their phones in Epcot and nearly walked right into us.
The guy behind us was like: "People like that should be popped in the face. "

Howdy, I'm Adelaide! I'm originally from Texas, but after graduating from university with an acting degree, I relocated to sunny Los Angeles for a while. I then got a serious bite from the travel bug and found myself moving to Sweden and England before settling in Lithuania about two years ago. 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. And during my free time, I can usually be seen strolling through a park, playing tennis or baking something tasty.

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.

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
