From time to time, we all eavesdrop on conversations not intended for our ears. Whether it’s on public transport, in a shady bar, or at a coffee shop, our curiosity gets the better of us. Sometimes we can’t help it, and other times we might deliberately try to listen in on what a stranger has to say.

However, once you hear something, it can’t be unheard. So when someone asked, “What is the creepiest thing you’ve overheard?” on r/AskReddit, replies started pouring in. From weirdly disturbing to painfully ridiculous, these stories show how people forget to read the room before loudly oversharing their thoughts.

Bored Panda has collected some of the best interactions from this thread, so continue scrolling and upvote the ones that surprised you the most. And if you’re in the mood for some more bizarre things people overheard in public, make sure to check out our previous posts about it right here, here, and here.

30 Terrifying Private Conversations People Overheard And Just Had To Share I speak a small amount of russian. Not enough to get me through a conversation but after watching a bunch of videos and trying to learn the language, I can understand a fair amount more than I can speak.

I was in Toronto walking down the road and there were two guys, Russian, sitting and talking in Russian at a table. I overheard 4 words. Dead, Body, murder, and what was essentially dispose. I turned pale and got the f**k out of there.

You know, they might’ve been talking about a movie, a TV show, a true crime novel, or a news story. Too many other possibilities besides planning a murder. Occam’s Razor. The simplest (and most obvious and unimaginative) explanation is usually the truth.

There was an Asimov short story like this, but in reverse, visiting Russians thought they were hearing a murder being planned. Spoiler alert - it was written the year Tolkien died, in his honour

30 Terrifying Private Conversations People Overheard And Just Had To Share I heard a dude grunting in the stall next to me trying to poop but they were clearly phantom poops.

Although, every time he farted he broke out into a hysterical laughter and would then return to grunting.

The grunting got louder and louder until he just let out this epic GRUNT. Seriously, I thought he was s***ting a boulder. I think the whole Student Union heard him.

Anyway, after the huge grunt I heard the smallest "plop" and all hell broke loose.

He was cheering at this victory by banging on the side of the stall. Screaming with happiness. Between his screaming laughter he would yell, "F**k you poop! You can't control me!"

I think he forgot to wipe and wash his hands because then he just walked out.

I still wonder if I should try to be more proud of the poops I take.

We reached out to Veronica Galvan, Ph.D., a professor in the Psychology department at the University of San Diego, to learn more about eavesdropping and why we are so fascinated by what strangers have to say. 

According to her, private conversations may catch our attention for several reasons. “They may contain personal information, and these interesting tidbits from other people’s lives may pique our interest.” Interestingly, such interactions also increase our curiosity because they may seem annoying.

30 Terrifying Private Conversations People Overheard And Just Had To Share I use to work at a Honda factory in Alabama and they get a lot of workers in from temp agencies, so you tend to get a lot of weird ones. As I'm walking back from my lunch break, I pass two guys and accidentally overhear, "I just want to impregnate the first thing I see." My only thoughts were, "Don't make eye contact, don't make eye contact, don't make eye contact."

The following stories were featured on another topic similar in nature (which I later featured on my blog)...

Four or five years ago, a friend of mine and I decided to stop at a Steak ‘N Shake after competing in an intense 10K for inline speed skating. You know… load up on carbs, calories, and grease to relax after a hard morning. After receiving our food and starting to enjoy our food, we both heard the following conversation take place:

Man: I wish we had more time… you know… really enjoy the foreplay instead of jumping right to it.

Woman: I know, baby. My husband gets home early and we can’t afford getting caught.

Man: Why don’t you just leave him already? You know damn well you don’t love him anymore. You know I can provide you with everything he does and then some.

Woman: But the kids…

Man: Consider their college paid for. In cash. You know I can do it.

Woman: I love you.

Man: Then come be with me.

Woman: Next week, okay?

They then kissed each other passionately (read: make out with slobbery tongue action) and left.

ಠ_ಠ

Okay... not so creepy, but still disturbing. Another gem of a story that made me REALLY uncomfortable...

About two years ago, I had traveled out of town to go visit a jobsite my company was contracted for and wanted to enjoy a nice treat: Steak ‘N Shake. (See… we don’t have any around where I live and the closest one is at least 70 miles away; If I’m near one, I enjoy the hell out of it.) Again… I had just ordered my food and I suddenly begin overhearing the conversation taking place behind me. The voices sounded older… late 50′s, maybe early 60′s.

Man 1: Oh! I forgot to tell you I talked to Jenny [not exact name] the other day!

Man 2: Sweet! How’s she doing? How’s her daughter?

Man 1: She’s great, man. Her daughter is as beautiful as ever.

Man 2: Good deal. I remember her daughter used to be SMOKING hot. I wish I could [censored, for the sake of my sanity] before the school boys get to it!

Man 1: Oh, you and me both!

Man 2: How old is she now?

Man 1: She just turned 13.

...

What in the royal horse f**k did I just hear?

“Bystanders to these private conversations may think that it’s inappropriate to discuss personal topics in public settings. In some cases, the bystanders are a captive audience; for example, they’re not able to leave because they’re waiting in line, or dining at a restaurant,” she added. People usually don’t appreciate their inability to escape the conversation and may end up feeling irritated. This often causes them to pay increased attention to the dialogue. “It’s an itch that can’t be scratched.”

30 Terrifying Private Conversations People Overheard And Just Had To Share I was in a PATH train car with about 10 or 11 businesswomen. All middle aged. All looking pretty damn professional. 8 or 9 of them looked pretty damn sexy(if I do say so myself)

They were going on about how to trick men into getting them pregnant. Not even to trap them in a relationship. They just had the baby rabies.

Like they left a convention or something.

I made eye contact with another dude on the train. I'm pretty sure we were thinking the same damn thing.

Galvan provided another reason why is it so difficult for us not to listen to private exchanges. “There’s an intriguing possibility that these private conversations may be even more attention-grabbing due to the pandemic. If people have spent increased time at home, there’s a sameness to the days, a blurring of time. Others’ private conversations may offer some distinctiveness to the day, a respite from the sameness.”

When asked if we awaken the nosy little eavesdropper within us on purpose, the professor said that listening to others’ conversations could happen consciously or subconsciously. “Our minds want to make sense of the world around us. If there is something interesting (or annoying) happening in our environment, we will latch onto that so we can better understand what is happening, why it’s happening, and whether it has any relevance to us.”

Not creepy, but more funny. I was in Applebees when this dude and his date/gf sit down at the table next to us. They launch into boring conversation about how shampoo is the governments way of controlling our minds. Then gf shouts "No way!" Everyone turns and looks and she blushes and lowers her voice. I, of course, listened.

"You...you're not really Jesus...are you?"

Dude smirked and nodded, and gf looked thoroughly impressed.

Pretty sure dude got laid that night.

Tl;dr, Jesus eats at Applebees

His friend: "That's one hundred percent fact. Hell, I'd help if she turned out the be a fighter. You know that."

“Our brains try to impose meaning and patterns onto the world around us. Sometimes the relevance is obvious, but other times, not so much—like hearing the “tick-tock” of a clock that is actually repeating the same sound over and over again.”

Galvan mentioned that people find overheard interactions entertaining because of the unpredictability of the content as well as the missing context. “It’s a mystery for our brains to solve, and our minds may especially welcome this challenge to counter the sameness of our pandemic days,” she concluded.

30 Terrifying Private Conversations People Overheard And Just Had To Share When I was at In-N-Out at 1 AM having your average post-drinking midnight meal, There was a homeless guy in the corner, quite dirty and obviously trying to subtly eat some leftovers someone left because he was hungry. Some drunk frat bros were making fun of him, telling him to go back to his hole and other insults. After a few minutes of this, the homeless guy got up, stood on his table, and literally put a curse on them. I forget his exact wording because the scene was so shocking and I couldn't believe what I was seeing/hearing, but it was something to the effect of "I hereby curse you never to father healthy children and to die a painful death without love in the next year. You will be tortured by Satan for all eternity I swear it". The employees called the cops and the homeless dude left.

TL;DR: Homeless Man puts a curse on some a-holes at In-N-out.

I had sat down and was going about my business when all of the sudden I hear this high, feminine giggling coming from the occupied stall, please note, I was in the men's restroom. So I figure that some random lady got lost and ended up in the wrong restroom, but then I hear another, deeper voice telling the lady to be quiet. So I sit there for a moment, wanting to finish up as quickly as possible so I can leave before things get graphic, but I was too late when all of the sudden the guy yells: "Christ, you've got a d**k!" The stall door banged open and I heard the guy speed out of the bathroom, the 'girl' close behind him. I then took the shortest dump of my life and hurried back to my gate, my brain full of f**k.

Me and a friend went to the Krystal Burger on Bourbon Street one night to try and eat off our drunkness. While we're waiting for our food to come out, a younger homeless looking guy walks up to us with some sort of walkie-talkie looking thing. We had a nice little chat about his device:

Friend: "Hey man, that's a cool looking radio. What's it for?"

Guy: "I can listen to WHATEVER radio signals I WANT to from all OVER THE COUNTRY!"

Friend: "Oh, that's cool. What do you listen to? Police stations?"

Guy: "Yeah yeah...I can listen to them. That's no fun though. The BEST stuff is from hotel workers!"

We just kind of laugh at this point and stop talking to him, but crazy guy's found someone to talk to. He's not letting this go.

Guy: "This thing is SO powerful. I could tune in to any camera in the country right now. I COULD EVEN WATCH YOUR SISTER MENSTRUATE!!!"

At this point, everyone in the place gets wide-eyed and stares at the guy. Me and my friend just laugh and walk out of the place chomping on those delicious little burgers.

I was playing in an underground poker room, everything was going smoothly. The table was fun and everyone was having a good time. Chips were flying around, jokes were being made, etc... There was this one older gentleman, probably around 65 years old who would always come by and buy in for the minimum. He mostly came to socialize and the poker was secondary.

The TV was on, and they were showing footage of some swimsuit competition or something. There was a gorgeous girl on the tv and naturally all of the table starting talking about how hot she was... Then the old guy turns to me and drops this one - "I would suck the s**t out of her a** with a straw."

Highly inappropriate, and grounds for termination in reputable companies. Especially if they used the company computer. ND if the other person was a lower level employee. Why aren’t people more discreet, and just take their monkey business elsewhere? I mean, if you’re going to do rotten dirty s**t, then keep it in your pants at work and in public, not only to keep it secret but also to keep from grossing the rest of us out. And risking blowing up your entire life and hurting people who actually do love you.

I was in line at some restaurant, and these two guys were discussing eating human bacon. They said that the person's info could be on the package so you could pick the "best taste". I gagged and got out of line.

Not really creepy, but it's still pretty sexual.

It was during the end of my freshman year. Everyone said their goodbyes, and we were getting ready for the summer.

Fast forard to Lunchtime. I always ate next to my best friends and next to my secret crush. At the time, she was in a relationship with some other guy, so I didn't talk to her much, since her boyfriend was sitting there at the time.

Me and my friends are talking about what we plan to do in the summer, When I can't help but overhear my crushe's conversation with her boyfriend.

She says to him "Baby, my throat still hurts from last night." Then he replies "So your still soar from last night?" She replies "Its like you shoved it down my throat way too fast and hard, but I could go another round tonight, probably a little anal" He then says "Well thats a good way to end the school year!"

By this time, I cant help but slowly turn around and stare at them. They stare back for about a minute, which felt like an eternity. I break the akward staring by swiftly putting my tray away and leaving the lunch room. We never talked since.

Edit: Had a few typos I had to fix.

I don't know if you'd call it creepy, but my g/f at the time and I were eating at a fancy restaurant one town over for Valentines day.

The people at the table behind us started loading up on wine and talking very loudly. They apparently worked in the same OR and were discussing all of the s**t they'd do improperly. I hope to god I'm never hurt or need an operation where those people work.

I have worked in hospitals (yes more than one) that have made me strongly consider getting a tattoo that says something along the lines of "don't take me to hospital xyz" on the off chance I get in an accident and need emergency care.

My friend and I went to the pool and overheard a conversation between a few teenagers. The girl exclaimed quite loudly that she "walked in and there was poo on her bed." She went on to say that she couldn't do anything about it so she slept on the floor.

I overheard a girl asking whatever god she believes in to let her know who her boyfriend was with at the very moment.

When I was in high school making up creepy stuff around random passersby was a pretty common pastime among me and my friends. We'd be walking down the street and we'd take turns saying the most outrageous stuff we could think of as we walked by people. Generally, whoever we agreed came up with the best line didn't have to pay for or dinner next time we all went out.

"No, not in the mouth!" - heard really loudly from the backstage after a folk-concert in Eastern Europe.

Need more context. They may have been talking about someone—-possibly even a toddler, you know how they try to taste every damn thing—-who accidentally put something in their mouth that they shouldn’t have.

If it was a kid that's understandable, sometimes parents can't leave small kids alone while they use the bathroom. However if it was an adult's voice that's a whole different story

I overheard a girl talking with her friend trying to decide if she would be up for hitting the club after getting an abortion.

Was in a bathroom stall in high school. Someone walked into the stall next to me, started to crap violently and loudly. with each fire of his artillery he let out an equally destructive string of cuss words. When his crap would subside for a minute I could hear him unroll some toilet paper, and rub it together really fast. I don't know where he rubbed it or what, nor did I care. It was weird but one of my more entertained craps.

on a bus to the pittsburgh airport, overheard a large black male talking on the phone about how he 'will have the $25 grand to you within the week, that way we can cut the stuff and start selling soon.' I was standing right next to him, and just stared foreword the entire time. twas odd.

Well, it was something someone else overheard. My friend has a big white van (keeps surfboards and stuff in) and it's always looked suspicious, so we nicknamed it the Rapemobile™.

I was on my mobile phone, chatting as normal about meeting up, when I asked, "Are you going to bring the Rapemobile™?"

Turn around, bright eyes. Three women behind me. They are upset.

I was at a movie rental place, just outside the "adults only" section. (Honest. The Sci-Fi section was next to it. ;) Ah, the days of VHS...) An... older couple was browsing the adult titles. They were both... not pretty people: overweight, teeth missing, etc.

She said to him: "Don't get that one. It has too much scenery in it. I want some action!"
