We‘ve all been taught that it‘s not polite to listen to somebody else‘s private conversations. But sometimes you just can‘t help it but overhear some of it passing by, riding a bus, lifting weights at the gym, or casually shopping. And what makes these funny conversations as amusing as they are is that they're completely out of context.

This Instagram account, Overheard LA, is dedicated to such overheard conversations happening in Los Angeles, California. Stating that “We all have ears,” the creators invite Angelinos to share some of the best pieces that they have ever overheard in their daily lives while living in the City of Angels. From weird questions and ubiquitous conversation topics - the Los Angeles population always has some funny things to say. We think it’s hilarious, and for the rest, you’ll have to scroll down and see for yourself!

    I had a girl in my class ask our Chemistry teacher if we were going to study Astrology... He was not impressed (We were supposed to be starting ASTRONOMY)

    This needs to be an actual measurement of responsibility. Like: from plastic plant to white pants, how responsible are you?

    In most cases this is accurate. If you want to fix an exact hour, try with:" See you in 6 minutes". It works for me. ;)

    This is just immature and obnoxious. Whether he says it to her or she says it to him, it's dumb. Even as a joke, it's just not funny.

    I never got the thing with tall men sex appeal. Can you really sleep with someone because he's tall? I must be a little too romantic or selective. Even "just for sex", I would need someone that I like a bit, not someone "horrible"....

    I'm Canadian, but have family that live in the L.A. area. I don't know what streets I've been on before, but the driving is INSANE. It's like nobody cares what happens to anyone else, they're just playing fast and loose with the rules so they can get to their destination ASAP. It was the least comfortable I had ever been in a vehicle.

    "Bourgois" specifically means capitalist... ie upper class! "Petit bourgois" means "middle class", but not exactly, because for some reason "middle class" in America is more often used to refer to working class people who have better jobs than most.
