30 Times People Said Something So Wild, Passersby Had To Share It Online (New Pics)
One of my favorite things about visiting English-speaking countries is being able to eavesdrop as much as my heart desires. Forget having a conversation with whoever I’m sipping coffee with, I want to hear about the woman two tables away who’s spilling all of the tea on her toxic ex-boyfriend!
And apparently, I’m not the only one who loves a healthy dose of eavesdropping, because there are several Instagram accounts fully dedicated to it. Below, you’ll find some of our favorite recent posts from Overheard New York, as well as a conversation with Adam Groffman of Travels of Adam. Enjoy reading through these hilarious conversations, and be sure to upvote the ones that make you want to move to the Big Apple!

If someone ghosts you, and then you force them to talk to you, is that necromancy?

In all fairness, I imagine no NYC resident would normally say anything.

We had a picnic in Spain once. We each had to go to the market and get something to eat; ham, bread, cheese, etc. My friend came back with a half kilo of butter because he thought 'manteca' was a type of cheese.

Do you know a similar thing happened with my uncle and aunt. Neither are gay but they divorced a few months ago but now they still talk and they are friends. This is also good because they have kids aged 10 and 7 so the experience is not too bad for them 💔

I think we all need to make friends with the Sanitation Employees. They know when and where the good stuff gets tossed.

"you should come with me!" -- "I already told you I dont have any money!" -- "You dont PAY to donate blood" -- "That sounds super sketchy. If you aren't paying what are they getting out of it?" -- "You're kidding right? BLOOD! They get blood out of it. Thats why it's called a BLOOD DONATION."

Does she think you donate money at blood drives to pay the people who go to plasma centers?

My ex and I were out to breakfast, and two elderly ladies were seated next to us. They were going through their little purse calendars, chatting about the days of the week different holidays fell on. One said, "Oh, Easter falls on a Sunday this year," and her friend nodded and said, "Yes, I saw that." Mike and I both almost choked on our pancakes - it was hilarious.

Why don't people think these are real? Are they too normal for New York? I follow the overheard account in my area & people definitely say some wild stuff 😂
