Admit it: you like to eavesdrop.
No, I don’t mean you always do it on purpose, but sometimes you just can’t help yourself.
And I bet you’ve overheard some pretty wild things too, haven’t you?
Well, read on and see if your eavesdropping stories match up to these tales!
1. OMG.
“My daughter was talking to a kid at a playground. She was showing him a scar she had on her leg from a bike wreck.
He showed her a scar on his arm and said “I got cut with a knife and had to get stitches. It’s why I can’t see my mom anymore.” He was maybe five.”
2. Sad situation.
“I was a manager at a resort in the mountains. It was the late ’90s and we did not have telephones in the rooms and this was before everyone had cell phones.
A young woman asked to use our office phone after hours. I listened to this poor woman tell her mother that her boyfriend just admitted to cheating on her and that he tested positive for AIDS. I felt so sorry for her.”
3. Oh, boy…
“Stood behind a couple arguing loud.
The man screams “WHAT THE F**K WERE YOU THINKING?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN DANGER, I ALMOST CALLED 911”.
To which she screamed “I’M SO F**KING SORRY FOR WANTING TO SEND YOU SOMETHING S**Y! THAT WON’T HAPPEN AGAIN!”. Me and my friend had to contain our laughter.”
4. I wonder what it was…
“Walking through a mall while in high school.
Awoman walking with her husband (I assumed), told him “what you’ve done is worse than mass m**der”.
I’ve thought about this for a long time.”
5. My ears are burning!
“I work at a restaurant, and one time I was bringing the food out to this table of 4 women, all approximately in their 50s-60s, just in time to hear one say to the others “so I decided to go with an a** play theme”.”
6. Hmmm…
“Overheard with no context at the bar: ‘the snake blood was ok, it just tasted like human blood.’”
7. Care to swap?
“In a restaurant, sitting behind me were 3 men who obviously worked together, talking to (what I gathered a new employee) about wife swapping and the new guy wasn’t having it!”
8. Disney drama.
“I used to work at Disneyland.
There was one time backstage, I walked past Belle and Cruella in full costume.
Belle was yelling at Cruella. “You’re a fu**ing bitch,” never sounded so weird.”
9. Breaking the NDA.
“Had two people (that I know of) break pretty serious NDAs because they desperately wanted to be able to tell someone what they were working on.
One was on his way to be on a pretty big reality show, and even outlined how insane the NDA they had him sigh was. The other worked in a big PR firm, and told me a bunch of stuff that was pretty da**ing about a client they were working with.”
10. No big deal, right?
“Gave a ride to an architect and an engineer who were talking in depth about a new construction project that was facing some pretty serious structural issues, but half of the people involved were just saying “Ehhh …” and trying to cover it up.”
11. Terrible.
“I worked as a mover for a time, and one day two of my coworkers were talking about dogfighting, and how excited they were to see their new dog in action…
I’ve never felt so much disgust for human beings that are actually in front of me.”
12. Ummm…
“Not me personally, but my mom once told me she overheard her ex husband and his friends discussing disposing of a dead body and talking about knocking the teeth out to prevent them being identified through dental records.
He was pretty abusive so she didn’t ever confront him about it, I guess this was back in the early ’80s?”
