Eavesdropping is a guilty pleasure of many. It often takes very minimal effort and can provide some light entertainment by making our imagination run wild. What did that person on the bus mean by saying they need some “serious reinforcements”? Are they planning a heist? Or is their birthday party menu getting out of hand?

Whether it’s something you hear completely accidentally or a neighboring conversation you have to lean in to fully decipher, one cannot deny the appeal of overhearing juicy details of other people’s lives. So what that they’re out of context, they still can be perfectly interesting.

The list below is proof that one should listen to what’s happening around them once in a while. Maybe you’ll hear some gems of child wisdom or a hilarious exchange that will put a smile on your face for the rest of the day. Scroll down to enjoy the collection of brilliant overheard conversations.

If you think that eavesdropping is something strictly human, think again. Members of the animal kingdom also indulge in an occasional act of social listening. Of course, the reasons for it are usually more substantial than simply wanting to know what the neighbors are fighting about. A lot of it is related to survival.

For example, spying animals can use the knowledge they gain through snooping around to get more resources. Bees are a great example of that even though they don’t necessarily hear the information.

    See I disagree and there's some research to back this up. If the house smells weird or bad you're not compatible with those people (usually) if their house smells different, but not bad...you can probably be friends. If their house smells good they are probably compatible with you. Idk it's been 30+ years since I've read this but it seems true to me.

    Bees use pheromones to attract members of the same species to join their hives. Members of other species, though, can also detect those same pheromones. However, instead of following them, they try to avoid them. 

    You see, bees expect that the resources will be scarce if they enter the territory of other bees. So, they stick to the neutral area where there’s more of a chance to find something delicious.

    To those who are asking how not drinking coffee is "edgy", I think the mean girl thought the other girl didn't drink coffee because she wanted to seem different and cool, as drinking coffee seems to be the norm now. For those reading this comment: if this helped you, then great! If you already understood and think I'm pointing out the obvious, please don't leave a snarky comment along the lines of "Oh, wow, I didn't know that's what it meant, thank you so much" or "Thanks, Captain Obvious". Kindness is much appreciated. Snarkiness is not :)

    Some animals use eavesdropping to steal their rival’s girl. Male fiddler crabs, the ones with the funny, oversized claw, use a type of waving dance to attract females of the species. If one of them notices that another is starting their jig, it will start to boogie as well, even if they don’t see a female anywhere around them.

    Overhearing other animals communicate can also be used to detect a predator. That is because many species use a certain type of communication method to alarm the others about the possible danger.

    I once went to the bathroom in a music store. While I was in the cabin, two men came in and began commenting throughout their no. 1. Like "Aaaah, what a relieve" – "Yeah, nice" – "Great, huh?" – "As long as it flows …" – "Nice bathroom". Didn't stop until they finished. (I assumed they were slightly uncomfortable and tried to hide it before each other. It was kind of funny hearing grown up men act like little boys.)

With no pause at all, a guy in another stall says "excuse me Mr. President, I didn't quite catch that". The place erupted in laughter, I'm surprised more people didn't get peed on.

    Once an animal makes a call that indicates a threat, it echoes through all the surroundings. That means it can be heard by all the species in the area. If there are other animals that are able to recognize the specific cry, they can scurry away as well. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    This type of overhearing has been documented in a wide range of species, from mammals, to birds, to lizards.

    According to the University of Missouri School of Medicine, "Advocates of active euthanasia typically argue that killing the patients in question is not worse than letting them die. Advocates of voluntary euthanasia often claim that patients should have the right to do what they want with their own lives." Voluntary euthanasia refers to the act of euthanising a terminally ill patient (with their consent) to relieve them of their persistent pain; otherwise known as "assisted su!c!de".

    Believe it or not, our dogs can also eavesdrop on us. Sure, they cannot understand every word we are saying and then gossip about it all with other neighborhood dogs, but they do observe our behavior and judge us for it.

    Isn't it just that there's an unspoken "to be alive" following the "lucky"? Although I agree the luck ends there, and some of those who survived a terrible accident may not even agree they're lucky to be alive.

    Originally (eons ago) you had a book of ride tickets and had to use one to get on a ride. At first they were even separated into sections with the smaller rides costing a lower level ticket. That's where the term 'E Ticket' comes from because you needed that for rides like the Matterhorn.

    Um, that was a pasteurized joke....It went right past her eyes!

    In one study, the researchers observed if dogs noticed how generous people were with food. Some of the human participants were assigned to be selfish, while others were freely sharing what they had. The dogs didn’t bother with the greedy ones much and preferred to approach the people that were willing to give out treats, showing that they understood the behavior and interpreted it accordingly.

    That kid is correct on the true nature of the banking system, we buy money by paying with interest rates, fees and overdraft penalties. Banks are in the business of selling money, once you get to peace with that reality, your relationship with your banker can reach a different level. You are simply buying their stuff. Don't let them bully you, without you being overdraft, they'd be out of business!!!

    Not as silly as it sounds - use a card to buy groceries at the checkout, petrol at the self-service pump, on your computer to buy stuff online, then at as ATM it could seem like you're just using the card to buy cash.

    OMG yes. I studied control theory in University mathematics. My brother in law used it to streamline a sugar refinery. It's difficult to explain, but many mechanical processes such as car suspension and temperature control and conveyor belt controls behave like second order differential equations. Control theory is making a second order differential equation do what you want it to do.

    Personally, bridge to teribithia punched me in the throat. I SOBBED. I mean loud bawling. At the movie theater while attending with my parents, sisters and my niece. AND with my own children. Would’ve been in my mid 30s. I was so pissed off with the creators of that movie and book that I now refuse to read. Now, tbh, me crying at the theater isn’t new. Been doing that at least since Gepetto was swallowed by a whale in Pinocchio and Christopher Reeves became a very strong alien orphan when I was a child. But in bridge, I was haunted for, well now, more than a decade. Anna Sophia Robb and my niece could’ve been twins at that age and WAS that age at the same time. Oh, and it had literally everyone in the theater looking for me in my seat in the back row.

    Ikr. Even if ine only needs reading glasses, if you get the wrong strength for your needs, .... still a big blur. I need regular prescription glasses to see. But as I am now at the age where vision changes due to age, I don't need any sort of glasses to read. So I have to slide my regular glasses down a bit to read, or do anything on my phone. 🤣

    No wait, seriously:... It's not a conspiracy, and obviously there are people who NEED glasses, because their vision is SO bad for some natural reason, but glasses do make your eyes weaker. But my presbyopia quit progressing when I quit wearing glasses, and although I can no longer draw my eyes close enough to align them on things near me (typical effect of aging), my distance vision hasn't declined at all. 30 years of presbyopia with no progression!

    I don't like graffiti on trains or buildings if they go over windows or if they are just tags. Tags are boring and ugly for most people outside of the scene I think. If sprayers would create more pictures, especially on grey buildings, I'm all for it. Please make our grey buildings beautiful with art. I wish for green sceneries on grey buildings. And to make it even more challenging, hide your tag in your picture, nearly invisible but still there. Like, form a bush like your initials or five clouds or draw a city scene with an artist and on his picture is the tag.... So many potential and I think less hate for the vandalism it is

    Hey, I'm all for art and color, too. But I'm still going to hate if someone paints my property without permission, even if they or others consider it art. I don't condone others who feel the same way, either. How do you feel about the recent rash of tourists vandalising the thousands year old structures in various countries? They probably considered it art.

    I sounds like the point was to see if the prospective employee can be detailed and not take assumed common knowledge for granted. Where the interviewer could go wrong is in failing to make it clear that that is the goal. A task that is incredibly common to you could be completely foreign to the person hearing the instructions.

    Since several family members started eating gluten free and vegetarian, respectively, I have learned that good 'substitute' foods don't have to taste just like wheat or meat or whatever - stuff like lentil pasta has its own distinct flavors - but they shouldn't taste like they're trying too hard to be the real thing, if that makes sense (unless they're *really* going all in on it like the Impossible burgers). Most veggie burgers are never going to taste like meat, and trying to force it to be meat-like instead of working on a more veggie-like flavor that actually tastes good just ruins it.

    🤣🤣🤣In the shadowed alleyways of modern-day Paris, a disfigured and reclusive loner, Quill, hides within the catacombs beneath the Notre Dame Cathedral. Haunted by his grotesque appearance and the cruelty of society, he ekes out a living as an underground hacker, skilled in exposing the city’s corrupt elites. As a wave of political corruption and moral decay engulfs the city, Quill becomes an unlikely hero. He crosses paths with Esme, a fierce investigative journalist determined to unveil the city’s darkest secrets. Together, they navigate a treacherous world of power-hungry politicians, ruthless criminals, and a crumbling justice system. Their alliance unravels a web of conspiracy that implicates the influential Judge Frollo, who harbors a disturbing obsession with Esme. Quill’s profound love for her drives him to protect her at all costs, leading to a series of heart-wrenching choices and intense confrontations in the unforgiving urban jungle…

    5’9 is really tall where I am. Most people are shorter than that

    There was a interesting study on whether it is safer to stow luggage under the seat in front of behind your legs. They result in two different types of crash injury, both fatal.

    The car has an interlock device that prevents it from starting until you blow into it and get a negative alcohol reading

    I stopped watching it because everything took excruciatingly long. A throwback and a glimpse into the next episode make you watch, kind of, everything twice already.

    Can confirm from the other side of the fence. I'm a man who takes estrogen (and t-blockers) and I feel marvelous!

    I'm glad for you! Hormones are quite the ride, though, estrogens and gestagens (aka birth control) gave me depression
