overheard

Twitter users are sharing various things they've overheard in public restrooms. You never know when you might hear someone behind a bathroom stall door, complaining about mistaking a cigarette for a tampon. 

Having roommates is one thing, but if your walls are thin enough, you may find yourself living with more people than you expected. In this situation, you have to learn to live with hearing the successes, failures, arguments and farts of everyone in your building. You may even share a moment with complete strangers.

This off duty cop intervened like a true hero when he overheard a full-fledged douche mistreating his date. At one point it sounds like he heard him threaten the poor, terrified lady by telling her he knew where she lived cause he picked her up. The cop proceeded to handle the situation like a professional, and get the guy's information. After the date from hell dipped, the cop invited the shaken woman to sit down and finish her meal with his family.

When you overhear just a little bit of someone's conversation and it ends with something like "and that's how I met my dad" your mind will do somersaults to try to figure out what the hell these people are talking about.

We have some prime examples of blatant stupidity run amok. These people clearly fell through the cracks, and this is the result. Fair to say that if I was out walking around, these shining moments of ignorance wouldn't fail to stop me in my tracks. You just never know what kind of stupid you might hear while you're out walking around. 

Here are some awesome and distinctively LA conversations. You've got Instagram influencers getting shut down, health nuts reaching their breaking point, and sad people aggressively trying to ignore their problems. For more funny stuff people weren't necessarily supposed to hear, here's more funny superficial conversations overheard in LA.

People say weird and dumb stuff all the time. And sometimes, someone's listening.

Contextualization wouldn't have even helped some of these. 

Never know what you might catch wind of while you're out and about NOT eavesdropping. 

Overhearing! It's like eavesdropping but without the guilt of feeling like a creep!

Why is the City of Angels so hellbent on destroying itself?...

Never know what kind of madness you'll eavesdrop on when you're out and about.
