Most of us, for a variety of good reasons, will spend our time in public, eardrums ensconced in earphones or headphones to drown out the noise. But every now and then, it can be worth it to just listen to the conversations flowing around you because sometimes folks end up saying something truly hilarious without knowing it. 

Someone asked “What was the funniest thing that you heard someone say in public?” and netizens shared the best, out of context conversations they have overheard. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own examples in the comments below.

“I Laughed So Hard I Couldn’t Breathe”: The 40 Funniest Things Folks Have Heard In Public I was sitting on the patio at a bar one afternoon just watching birds and enjoying a few beers alone. Next to me was a group of older folks (around retirement age) just hanging out. They were talking about all kinds of things. I’d drift in and out of listening to them when I heard one man talking about his doctor. He said the doctor had passed away two years prior in almost a depressed tone. The other men told him:

“Don’t be so sad man it’s not like he was your wife or anything.”

And without skipping a beat the man replied:

“I know I shouldn’t be so upset but man he just gave really good prostate exams.”

The entire table started cracking up. I nearly spit my beer out from laughing so hard and the man pointed at me and said:

“See he gets it!”

The laughter only got louder. I didn’t talk to them afterwards or butt into their conversation but it’s a fond memory of mine.

An older woman standing outside a restaurant… She was waiting for her husband to come pick her up because it was raining. He kept arguing about picking her up. Told her just to suck it up and walk across the parking lot. Finally he left and went to the car. She looks at me and says if I could teach a dildo to bring home a paycheck I wouldn’t have to put up with his s**t.

At intermission during ‘The Phantom of the Opera’ on Broadway. Scottish teenage boy seated in front of me turns to his mother (in a thickkk Glaswegian accent):

“I always thought that the Phantom was meant to be some kind of tragic, romantic anti-hero. But he’s just a f*****g d**k”.

“I Laughed So Hard I Couldn’t Breathe”: The 40 Funniest Things Folks Have Heard In Public A very pregnant friend of mine and I were at a pharmacy to get, among other things, a toothbrush. While she was looking, a visibly nervous teen boy slinks past us and stops in front of the condoms etc, about six feet away from us in the same aisle. My friend, tracking the embarrassment that only teens can get, held her belly and shouted to the kid “Hey kid! You want me to tell you which ones DON’T work?”

I’ve never seen anyone turn so red, or run so fast.

When I took Tagalog back in the 1990s I had a streak of blue hair and often rode the bus with older Filipinos who usually had something to say about it. I loved saying "Ayaw mo ba ng kulay asul?" (Don't you like the color blue?) but always did so with a smile and a wink that made them laugh.

Friend of mine in high school went to pick up her little brother from some sort of after school activity. There was a lady sucking on a cigarette standing near the school doors talking on her cell phone loudly. In the most grizzled smoker voice she said "Hot dogs will give you cancer." *Takes a draw from the cigarette* "One bite and you're a goner."

I was at a Rubio’s many years ago and the woman in front me had brought her food up to the counter to tell them she had ordered chicken tacos but had gotten fish tacos. She and the employee are going back and forth on what’s in the tacos, the employee was adamant it was chicken. The woman is really pissed at this point and goes “It’s fish. If you don’t believe me, smell my fingers”. My friend and I ended up going outside because we were laughing so hard.

We stopped at a yard sale one weekend. We had a really small bulldog with us, super friendly and they were ok with her being there while we browsed. Their little girl, maybe four years old, asked to pet the bulldog and we said she’d love that. So the little girl leans over to pet the pup… and that causes her to do the plumber’s butt crack thing. Mom runs over and pulls the pants and pull up diaper back up. The little girl turns to mom and says “I’m not done pooping yet.” 

Mom’s face… it was like the visual version of one of those abrupt record scratches. We played it cool with a little chuckle and said “kids, gotta love em.” We got back to the car and just lost it, just crying laughing.

This person estimated that the kid was “about 4” This kid could have been three, which is generally when most kids are fully trained but not all. Second, as a special education teacher, I have six year olds in diapers with expressive language but unable to control their bodily functions. What I am saying is this: we don’t know the situation.

Was at a bar once, and there was a drunk girl trying to put on her heels for a few minutes. She was clearly *gone* gone, and couldn't manage. A man that was there with her said "It's like watching a monkey try to f**k a football." and I couldn't help but catch a case of the giggles.

The words themselves didn't do it, but the mental image wrecked me.

Once had a comedy bit about drunk people. You can tell a person is too drunk when they can't put on their shoes. First they'll find their foot but not their shoe... then they'll drop their foot and find the shoe, but now can't find their foot again... it continues until they pass out.

At community college in the Detroit area in U.S. Government class, the prof was lecturing about how the federal government used threats to withdraw funding to coerce the states into making the legal drinking age 21.

A girl right behind me said to the girl next to her, "Then why can I go to Canada and drink?"

The other girl said, "I think that's, like, another country.".

I was coming out of a movie with a couple friends, and we passed two kids on their way into another movie. As we passed them, I heard one kid say to the other,

"Yo mama is so poor when she dies she'll drop common loot!"

and I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe. I don't know if that's a common one for kids now, but I'd never heard it. F*****g slayed me.

A young woman from my apartment building got into a car accident, while trying to exit and turn left onto the main roadway (4-lanes, 35mph).

I was in the lobby when she came back in with her dad after the accident, and she said:

"well, what was i supposed to do? just wait there forever!?".

Riding Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland, a row of 4 obnoxious teenage girls (OTG) sitting behind us talking VERY loudly. After the drops I hear:

OTG1: "Oh my God, I'm going to get chlamydia from this ride!"

Me (an ER nurse): "you mean giardia, chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease."

Friend sitting next to me (an ER MD): *laughs*

OTGs don't talk for the rest of the ride.

While taking a train back from a hockey game in Denver, some drunk guys in their early 20s were drunk and being completely obnoxious to everyone around them … Stuff like spitting their tobacco chew under their seats and talking about obscene/ridiculous stuff for a solid 20 min.

A guy next to me in an opposing Canucks jersey was chatting with my group under his breath about how offensive their conversations were, and how annoyed he was at these guys…

Their topic gets to “woke issues” and one of the a******s goes “I don’t get why Harvey Weinstein gets so much flak…. I love Harvey Weinstein”.

… without missing a beat, the Canucks jersey guy matches their frat bro-voice and sarcastically goes: “oh yeah - Weinstein! … I loved that one thing he was in …. What was her name again?!”.

… It took us all by surprise as this guy had been pretty quiet before - so to hear him flip the script and match their level of obnoxious sexist frat-bro voice was too f*****g funny. My friends and I started howling laughing… the a******s tried to quip back with nonsense that didn’t land… which made it even funnier.

I still laugh when I think about this moment.

there's a line in the movie where someone says something along the lines of "no one is going to crank that [bohemian rhapsody] in their car with their friends by an all male band called queen" and my friend and i laughed so loud. 2 elderly men in front of us turned to stare and we said "sorry. it's just that we actually do that" the held up their clasped hands and said "we know. we did too once upon a time" and smiled at us. it was so friggen cute.

I used to work at a gourmet candy shop. Christmas time, store was PACKED, parents bring their stuff up and have an 8 year old boy.

They were buying alcoholic chocolate and the kid just SO LOUD goes "WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR THAT!!! OR PEANUT BUTTER!!!"

The mom is mortified, the dad goes "yeah what's your peanutbutter exchange rate?" Mom mortified even more.

Once I was hiking back in the early 2000’s, and I walked past a Dad with his daughter and her friend. The daughter said to the friend “I wish I were at the mall or at home watching MTV right now…” It was hilarious at the time, and now is a perfect microcosm of the era. I often wonder where that woman is today and what she is doing.

Target dressing rooms are often just a section of cubicles between two departments & they're open to the air.

Two teenage girls were sharing a dressing room to try on swimsuits & one blurts out "What if girls had BALLS?"

You know how your voice sounds different if you're pushing your stomach out? You could tell she was pooching out her groin when she said it. It's been over 10 years & it still makes me laugh. It was dead quiet for a beat & then everybody in ear-shot burst out laughing.

I'm on a trip with my friends family while we were 16 or so. We all went out to lunch, and the waitress was totally flirting with my friend. NOT even trying to hide it. 


So she comes over to refill our drinks. She smiles, looks at my friend, and asks if he wants more. My friends mom, straight faced puts her hand over his glass and says, "No, he better not. He'll wet the bed tonight".  


She starts laughing, his face turns bright red and he storms out of there.


A few mins later, my friends mom found out the waitress had the next night off, so she told her she needed to bring a friend tomorrow night and go on a double date with her son & me. 


And we had a wonderful double date thr next night.

Was at ice cream shop and what I assume was an uncle and a niece about 8ish years old. I’m standing there waiting for my families order, and all I hear is,
“Was it fun in jail?” From the little girl.
Then uncle responds, teeth clenched, “I went to prison.”

I don’t know why I thought this was so funny but man I was trying hard not to crack up. Kids are wild.

For those who dont know, jail is short term, and you can get out for work sometimes ( you go to work but report back to jail at night) .Prison is long and rough.

Backstory: One night back in college me and a few friends were on our way to dennys after a night of drinking. During the drive a girl in the backseat had to throw up. The driver pulled over and the girl attempted to open the door but couldn’t bc of child lock. My friend in the passenger seat jumped out to open her door at the same time the driver rolled down her window and…..yeah. My buddy caught projectile vomit all over his shirt. We weren’t about to abandon our trip, so the driver gave my vomit covered friend an old work shirt out of his trunk. As we are walking into Dennys an older boomer couple is walking out and the woman says to my friend “Hey! Your shirt is wrinkled!” Without missing a beat my buddy replied “Yeah, well your face is wrinkled, b***h.” It was a legendary comeback we still talk about to this day. I never laughed so hard in my life.
