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!

Gosh - I’m Canadian and I was horrified by their actions. Still can’t believe they were all righteously feeling like what they were doing was okay, and would prove some point. No, you just looked like looters and vandals.

    Once my cat caught a mouse but played with it so I totally hit the mouse, afraid it would just ran away. Kitty lost interest immediately.

    I hated being a child. Hated it. Every adult talked to me like I was a moron, the kids hated me, and I couldn't do anything to get more money to spend on stuff. I was emotionally and mentally abused harshly by both of my parents, and now that I'm older and can see exactly where everything starts, I can fight back. I f*****g hated childhood.

    New York is like no other city in the world. Where else can you see Central Park, a rat stealing a slice of pizza, the Empire State Building, the Met, and eat the most delicious bagel you’ve ever had in your life? This concrete jungle is full of opportunities, nearly 19 million people and, of course, billions of conversations that are worth overhearing. So if you haven’t yet been able to take a trip to New York yourself, you’re in luck! You can get the full experience by reading through Overheard New York on Instagram.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    This account, which has amassed a whopping 1.6 million followers, details what it’s like to stroll down the streets of New York. Well, I guess the locals don’t stroll, they power walk. And if you really want to nail the ambiance, play some loud, taxi honking sounds in the background as you scroll through this list. And if NYC isn't your scene, don't fret. Overheard HQ has eavesdroppers all over the place. So if you live in New York, LA, San Francisco, Austin or London, be careful what you say in public!

    personally i love kids and in the process of trying to have my own. im epleptic so lots of steps to take before me and my husband can start trying. however i do understand that not everyone wants to have kids. its not something everyone wants. the thing i get annoyed by is wen ppl have kids and wanted them only to consider it a mistake. if u wanted that child then u own up to it and care for it. dont call it a mistake. thats the only time i have an issue with ppl saying having kids was a mistake. now if ur someone who didnt want children, got pregnant and still brought a child into this world put the kid up for adoption let it b with someone who wants a child. dont b angry at it bc its an unwanted child u brought into this world. there r ppl like my mom who cant have kids that want them. my bio mom was 15 wen she had me and chose to put me up for adotion so id have a good life. tons of unwanted children end up in unhealthy enviornments bc the mother never wanted them. theres a simple solution that makes both sides happy. my point is if u want kids dont call them a mistake later

    Have you ever done that thing where you heard someone walking by say something ridiculous or obnoxious and immediately (once they were out of earshot) you repeated what they said? I have done this countless times, perfectly in sync with one of my brothers or my partner, and it never gets old. The joy of overhearing something bizarre or something you don’t think you should have heard in the first place is so palpable. But why is that?

    Well, when it comes to why we love eavesdropping so much, scientists say that sometimes, we actually just can’t resist. Apparently, when we hear one side of a conversation in particular, such as when someone is speaking on the phone in public, we are drawn to listening to them out of curiosity. Who’s on the other line? What are they saying? We want to fill in the gaps, and trying to figure out how juicy the conversation is is much more exciting than simply hearing both sides.

    Adam also says fellow New Yorkers have definitely caught him saying things that could have easily been posted on Overheard NYC. “Half the reason I follow the account is because I'm interested in knowing what other New Yorkers are talking about in private, and the other half is because I'm worried someone heard something I said,” the blogger admitted.

    At my retail job, a woman approached and had red seeping down from a spot on her forehead. She acted normally but I immediately said, "Ma'am, I think you're bleeding!" She blinked and then laughed and explained it was her bindi mark (she was Indian) and it was running due to sweat.

    “I know eavesdropping and listening in on other people's conversations might seem weird, but in NYC, it's just a way of life,” Adam explained. “We're naturally curious - we ask questions and have no shame in enquiring what other people are doing or thinking. Consider the fact that we passed this NYC salary transparency law - our curiosity in how much people make has literally made it into law.”

    Man, I feel bad for this guy. I can say from experience that if you take Adderall, you don't need coffee. The pill alone is enough to give jitters. Edit: I had ADD (the non hyperactive variant. It did help with focus but still had the jittery side effect for me)

    Adam also hypothesizes that the reason New Yorkers love eavesdropping is because they live in such a crowded city. “Our apartment windows look into each other’s; I can hear my neighbors through the walls. Our sidewalks are full of tourists and locals and Citi Bike riders and delivery drivers and postal workers and couriers,” he told Bored Panda. “We're on top of each other, so of course we're going to hear (and listen in) on what everyone's saying.”

No offense but he didn't even ask and it was for training like is it at a gym or a job or what? And even if it was it so disrespectful not to ask. And to just charge it to someone in your families account. I'm pretty shore your old enough to know better and I'm pretty shore you wouldn't someone doing that to you. But maybe I'm wrong.b

    Eavesdropping may seem rude at times, but according to Alison Jane Martingano, PhD, the habit might actually come with surprising benefits. Martingano wrote a piece for Psychology Today explaining how one experiment, featuring a diverse group of 86 New Yorkers, found that eavesdropping can be great for our theory of mind skills. “Eavesdroppers outperformed the interlocutors on both ToM measures,” Martingano writes. “Eavesdroppers were able to identify more emotions from the pictures of eyes correctly and were more likely to understand what Richard was thinking compared to interlocutors. These results suggest that eavesdropping can indeed be beneficial for social cognition.”

    I don't really agree with that. So everyone else should pay for someone's disability? There's no such thing as free in any first world country. It's either paid by one person or everyone else in taxes. Clearly your talking about America, but it's the same everywhere. And a little over 100 years ago anyone with those issues usually just died.

    “As our world becomes more interconnected, understanding and empathizing with others is more crucial than ever,” Martingano continued. “Enhancing our ToM abilities through listening can help forge stronger social connections, promote cooperation, and foster a more empathetic world.

    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.

    Yeah lol I was there for a few days (actually got home today) and the other day my family was walking from the met to our hotel (near the Lincoln center) through central park. We walked past a guy on a bench, and when we passed by him he started walking behind us. I always overthink things so I thought he was following us. After a while we lost him, but then, we walked past another bench with a different guy on it. He and the first guy were both holding small paper bags. When we walked past the guy, he started walking behind us like the first guy. My dad said that we could go a different way and get to the hotel faster, so we turned around. The guy had a laundry cart (or whatever it's called lol) and he looked like he was pulling something out of it. That day was really bad for my anxiety so I immediately assumed he was gonna pull a gun out of there, so I was like "oh c**p oh c**p oh c**p" and I ran out of there. Haha. NYC is a heckhole when you have anxiety like mine.

    I grew up in NYC in the '50s in an apartment with the toilet at the end of the hallway for all the tenants to use, though we had a bathtub in the kitchen. I thought we were rich when we moved to another apartment with its own bathroom.

You don't look like a garbage collector." "What does a garbage collector look like?" "I don't know. Not like you. And garbage men don't have European accents."

    Self checkout sucks for one reason that when a spec of dust goes ont he weighing thing than you need staff permission to go on

    Yes! No matter where or when I use self checkout, something always goes wrong and needs fixing by a real person who is going to insist on talking to me. I just want my chips and to get out of the store!

    Me too! Works like a charm most of the time. I don't mind the human contact but I do mind waiting in line to pay for 2 apples and some cheese.

    Since the word is new to you and it might not be obvious from reading, it's pronounced bo-DAY-ga.

    I did this to so many friends on fb, and just never unmuted them. At one point my feed was nothing but pregnancy announcements, preggers belly photos, birth announcements, and baby birthday parties. It’s worse when your friends are artsy-fartsy photographers. Now I just avoid fb.

    Seems a bit sad to 'prostitute' oneself for Ricotta toast, but it IS certainly better than nothing (or the likely disappointing sex that might have followed the other times)...

    Yes! A deal breaker for me before I married my husband was to make sure he voted in every election. He does. I'm not living with someone who doesn't take that power seriously.

    Part of the power and privilege of voting is choosing not to use it. If no candidate represents your view then it's perfectly acceptable to either not vote or spoil your ballot.

    No, a vacation is somewhere you go to do someone YOU want to do with people you want to be with (usually without your kids, because kids = work, not relaxation); a trip is obligatory travel somewhere you don't want to go to to be around people you tolerate (holidays at the in-laws', business trips, taking the kids to Disney)

    Correction: A vacation is something you do for yourself; A trip is what you do with your children in tow.
