Whether it’s talking about overheard conversations in Los Angeles, San Francisco or London, we just can’t seem to get enough of the hilarious things happening on the streets. Try to imagine living in New York, a dynamic and diverse city full of politics, economy and culture—it can be impossible to cover your ears from private interactions.

And Wall Street might be one of the busiest places of them all. Located in lower Manhattan, it has become synonymous with the financial markets of the U.S. and the companies within it. A popular Instagram account called Overheard On Wall Street is a spin-off that was created to complement the fast-growing Overheard LA founded by Jesse Margolis in 2015.

As of today, the account has a following of more than 270K people and is the place to find the newest hot gossip floating around the Financial District. Bored Panda has collected some of the funniest things from this account for your entertainment. Scroll down and upvote your favorite conversations!

    Seems like something a quick search should return - I mean, the Forbes 30 under 30 lists are always published, yet none of the lists for 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018 has a "Preston" on it. If someone's gonna make up a quote for this sort of thing, why include a detail that *immediately* shows its fake?
