overheard

Sometimes we're just not thinking and sometimes people are really just flat-out stupid. There are a lot of really dumb questions that get asked. People have almost too many stories about dumb things people said to have their intelligence questioned.

Not everyone has a very good brain. Some people have decent ones, but they're not exactly working for them all the time. We live in a world where people can sort of believe whatever they want, and sometimes people have a personal resistance to wanting to learn, which leads to all of us hearing some really dumb things.

It might be time to look for a new place to live if this is gonna become a regular thing. Bob, Carol and Angie have a lot to work through. For some crazy roommate stories, here's times people discovered their roommate was a psycho, and here's a guy who battled his terrible subletter who tried to pin him with damages.

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. 

This one's an oldie but a goldie! The verdict's in and some of these are actually probably real. It might be hard to accept that some people are indeed this stupid, but I mean, come on, we're regularly featuring stupidity soaring to new heights here. 

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. Here are some of the strangest things people are willing to admit they witnessed.

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.
