I work in retail, kid is being all bratty about to throw a tantrum and the father goes
"If you don't stop, we'll just go straight home with no shopping!"
The kid who was maybe about 4 or 5 hits back with
"THAT'S WHAT I WANTED THE WHOLE TIME!!!"
Was in church, during Confessions, and overheard the priest say to the person who was in the confessional: "You did WHAT?!"
Got to witness one of these. Dude spent about an hour and a half talking nonstop about Game of Thrones. Like dude went on a full on lecture about Game of Thrones. Girl did not speak the entire time, she tried but he would not pause... Then he ends it with this gem, "but you are a woman and so I don't expect you to understand the deepness of high fantasy" my husband and I looked at each other, when we hear "Did you forget I'm a librarian Paul, I've read the f*****g books!" Before she stormed out. Apparently dead Paul was giving his long winded theory based off just watching the show.
This was about three years ago, and I was on a flight to Asheville. I speak Arabic. Man #1: Where is the woman with snacks? Man #2: She is in the back. What food do you want? Man #1: I would like the crunchy cheese snack. Man #2: What? Cheese is not crunchy. Cheese is soft and delicious, like your mother. Man #1: hits him playfully in the arm I lost my s**t laughing and when they realized I could understand them they were amazed and we had an enjoyable flight convo.
One time i was waiting at the dentist and i heard two women talking and it went like:
"I just found out who was using my phone when i'm not around."
"How??"
"I download a security app that takes pictures when someone tries to unlock my phone."
Then she made a pause.
"Dude, my phone is now full of pictures of my cat"
Overheard 2 65 year old women in office talking. One said she was taking grandkids to dinosaur exhibit on weekend. Second Lady said “ I think dinosaurs really existed.” First Replies “ you do?” Second said “ but they couldn’t talk to God.” First says “ Sure, they could!” Second says “How?” First “roooooarrrs loudly!!!” I thought I’d fall off my chair laughing at insane discussion.
Was on the bus and a small girl and her father were sitting in front of me. The kid was misbehaving a bit and wouldn't sit still even though her father would tell her to settle down several times. Eventually he lets out an exasperated "Why won't you do what I tell you to?" and the little girl answers, matter-of-factly: "Mom always tells you to stop washing your balls in the sink but you still do it!" Needless to say they got off that bus very quickly as every single person around them was desperately trying not to laugh.
At the movie Paranormal Activity, a girl behind me was constantly blurting out "Did you see that?" Eventually the girl with her yelled fairly loud "B***h, we're watching the same f*****g movie!"
One time my sister loudly asks "but how do you email a sandwich?" After a preview that had a chick fila coupon promotion. Dumbest thing she ever said and it was in a packed and silent room.
I was in a shoe store and a little girl was playing on the floor with her mom. The mom kept asking her to stand up but the little girl would continue rolling around the floor. Finally she rolled under her mom's legs and looked up and said loudly WHY DONT YOU HAVE ON ANY PANTIES? And the mom dragged her out of the store quickly.
I'm in a game store. A couple walks in and strt looking at games. The girl says "Do you really need more games?" The guy looks at her, nods toward the shopping bags she's carrying, says "Do you really need more shoes?" The girl points to a game and say "This one looks good!"
It was in the bus.
There were two guys, one of them had birthday that day. Their conversation was something like: "dude, you're 35, what do you want to do in life?" "well, I'm still at the university, I don't know" "bro, that's your seventh major, you need help".
I'm still laughing about it.
In a Wal-Mart. Older gentleman shopping with his wife says “I’m hungry”. She never looks up from her grocery list; just says “No, you’re not” and walks away looking for the next item. The gentleman realizes that I’ve witnessed the entire exchange and says to me “Well, I thought I was”. He just looks down dejectedly at the floor and shuffles off after his missus. I was wheezing.
All I heard as I was walking by the lunchroom was " mayonnaise is not a beverage Sharon"!
Heard on bus: Girl: well I'm gonna get my daughters ears pierced soon, if you do it when they're really young they don't really know what pain is
Guy: I'm pretty sure they can still feel pain
Girl: Well what about boys when they get circumcised, cause they're babies they can do it earlier and it won't hurt as much when they're that young
Guy: I'm pretty sure if I go and punch a baby in the face he's going to cry because he knows what pain is.
Unfun fact: it was believed until late 20th century that babies felt no pain and were operated on without anaesthesia
I find it wild how in some cultures it's standard to have girls' ears pierced when they're toddlers. At least wait until they're old enough to want it.
Honestly, I think it's awful to pierce baby's ears. First off, it's a major decision that dictates how they look. It should not be forced upon anyone, least of all a child. wait until they're at least 10 years old to know if they truly want them or not. Second, having a hole poked into your body is never fun, and it's even worse for children who are still new to pain. It can ba traumatizing. My mom forced me to get my ears pierced, and I've made her regret it. Those holes in my ears are some of the worst things to have ever happened to me.
So, should we wait until boys are 10 to be circumcised! I'm pretty sure the answer would be a big fat "NO"!
Load More Replies...Pain is the main evolutionary driver and one of the reasons we have such a well developed nervous system. OC babies feel pain, who would think otherwise?
It was long established nedical practice to operate on babies without anethesia. Just changed relatively recently.
Load More Replies...My ears were pierced when I was about 2. My brother was circumcised as a baby. We both survived, neither of us has any memory of what happened.
Babies experiencing pain has in many studies showed effects on both brain and behaviour, despite having no memories. The body remembers. The fact that you dismiss future babies pain says a lot of how your brain works.
Load More Replies...Baby circumcision? You mean male genital mutliation..? But of course we aren't allowed to call that what it is...
Well, this is going to make your necks hairs curl. Until 1999, doctors didn't think infants felt pain. Up until the mid-1980's, infants were given minimal or no anesthesia for medical procedures. I guess they thought all that wincing and crying was infants being melodramatic.
Do not subject your boy to "the unkindest cut of all" That's His equipment, His decision. Let him decide when he's old enough to put painkiller on it. That is highly erotitic tissue and men have sued parents for that loss.
When my first kid was born, i took her to my friends tattoo shop with me. A lady comes and sits next to me. She asks, so what are doing? I said oh im going to get my daughters footprints tattooed. She pauses in thought and says, well its good youre doing it now that way she wont remember the pain.. i said no.. im getting footprints tattooed on my leg! She exclaimed oooooh! Then she walked out.. probably to go find her brain
Both my sons circumcised at 2 days old a year apart. Dr made sure I was with them when the Pedi did it to comfort them as it not only hurt like Hell when he did it, it hurt like Hell again the first time they urinated. It hurt and they knew it!
I got my ears pierced when I was 18mth old, mum had a bag of quavers at the ready in case I cried. I didn't cry until I watched her put the crisps back under the buggy. I pierced my daughter's ears when she was 8mth old and she didn't flinch or cry until the studio needed their mirror back that she was holding.
It was back in my high school art class while we were working with clay. Overheard some kids at another table asking each other if they would eat clay in a survival situation. Then they had an hour long discussion on the nutritional value of clay and if it was even edible. Which then lead into a discussion on the nutritional value of other art materials. Not gonna lie they were making some interesting points.
Working maintenance in a hospital, shared an elevator with a new grandmother on her way out of the birthing wing and overheard her part of a cell phone call: “She’s doing fine. Had a little boy. Baby’s good- she’s going to name him a jr when she figures out who the father is”
Overheard two employees talking at Starbucks: "It's like all we do here is make coffee."
Turkish store. 3 Turkish men having a loud discussion in Turkish. suddenly they all go quiet. one says "Michael Jackson" they all burst out laughing and kiss each other on the cheeks then leave the store. and i will never know what that was about.
I was sitting in the break room eating lunch when out of the blue my table is commandeered by my Hispanic coworkers gossiping about other coworkers to themselves in Spanish. After 15 minutes of awkwardly listening to them sling dirt I get up to leave, and they ask (still in Spanish) 'how awkward would it be if the gringo could understand what we've been saying?' I responded (also in spanish) 'you don't know I speak spanish?' They were mortified, and one of them let out a really high pitched cackle of a laugh. I felt more respect from all the latinos at that job after word got out that I was a hispanohablante.
On the shuttle bus to campus:
"He keeps saying he loves me more than I love him, it's ridiculous." "Well, you are cheating on him." "He doesn't know that, though, so it's not fair."
Girl 1: Are you [Name]?
Girl 2: Yeah.
Girl 1: Hi! I'm your math tutor.
Girl 2: Oh! You're cute! I'd totally date you, but I'm not a lesbian.
Girl 1: Thanks! I'd date you, too, but I'm straight, and I have a boyfriend.
Two teenage girls sitting across the aisle from me.
Girl 1: "I love trips. We should take a road trip to Hawaii this summer!"
Girl 2: "You are such an idiot. You don't even have your driver's license yet!"
Conversation overheard in my math class: “what state is Washington DC in?” “It IS a state, stupid.” “You idiots it’s in Washington, obviously”
I was at a graduation party for my best friend when she graduated high school in '07, and a boy she was hanging out with at the time was there. He had to use my friend's house phone to call his mom and the last thing he said to her before hanging up was "I'm a grown a** man, mom, I'll skateboard home!" We still use that to this day.
I once walked by a group of girls in the mall and overheard one girl say, "...and that's why I don't roller skate and read anymore."
I was just on an international flight and the dude sitting behind me was talking to another woman. She asked him why he was in Europe and he said it was for a UN summit (or something). Then she asked him if there was any good news that came out of that, he just sighed and said "No".
This happened the other day at my restaurant. Not really weird just a hilarious dad moment. Young kid: "I heard today that one of the members of One Direction left the band" Dad: "Does that now make them Two Directions?" Classic dad joke right there.
A woman was planning her dog’s birthday party, and was debating which dogs to invite since some of the dogs didn’t get along with her dog.
In Costco and they had giant crab for sale Little girl: dad what do they eat Dad: Little girls called Megan.
I was recently on a train with my dog, who is a 7lb ball of fluff. A mother with two kids sat opposite and were excited about the dog. However, one of the kids was throwing a tantrum, so the mom started telling a story about how my dog likes to eat little girls who behave badly. She then got scared and it took a while to convince her that my dog does not want to eat her. I understand the temptation parents have to say stuff like this, but as a dog-owner who has to navigate kid's varying reactions to seeing my dog, I would appreciate not spurring unnecessary fear in them.
At the Museum of Natural History, looking up at the Blue Whale hanging from the ceiling:
"Wow! How does that whale fit in the ocean?!"
Not mine, but my friend's story.
She was playing PUBG with a bunch of random people and one of the dude's mom goes "ARE YOU TALKING TO A GIRL?" in the most dramatic voice and then he disappeared. The other dude went like "Oh man, let's pray for his soul".
Little girl next to me at the zoo looking at the Pandas: "Mom, when I grow up I want to be bamboo."
2 girls on the bus sitting in front of me start talking about a date that one of them had recently been on, one of them says "and then he stuck his hand up my skirt" and her friend says "the one with the stripes on it?"
Dude 1: "What time does the beer store close?"
Dude 2: "10:00"
Dude 1: "What time is it now?"
Dude 2: "10:15"
Dude 1: "We'll never make it."
Years ago, I worked in the dairy department of a grocery store. From time to time, we would have sales in which the price of a half gallon of milk was less than half the price of a gallon of milk. I was never quite sure why we sold any gallon jugs during those periods, until one day while restocking, I overheard this gem:
Lady 1: Oh look, a sale on half gallons!
Lady 2: Hmm... how many half gallons are in a gallon?
Lady 1: (without missing a single beat) Four.
Lady 2: F***ing (store name)!
I can overstate neither the speed with which Lady 1 replied to her friend, the confidence in her own answer, nor the immediacy with which the second lady both believed her and cursed my workplace. It was a thing of beauty.
I’ve bartended but my favorite conversation was overhead while I was on the other side of the bar. “Look all I’m saying is Grand Theft Auto severely ruined our generations perception of how many police helicopters exist” Sounded like they were getting really heated over the matter haha.
"Should we take a shopping cart?"
With complete seriousness, the person responds,
"You never know how much a 10 pound turkey is going to weigh"
Three years ago I was walking through the international terminal at the airport towards the gate. A man walking quickly with his luggage and talking on his phone (in a serious tone) said into the phone, "Yeah man, I did it. I quit my job and I'm running away to Thailand!"
'Ah man I smell today. You know you get those days where you jump in the shower but just forget to wash?'
'No. I don't. what the hell?!'
A couple times I forgot to shave one leg but I always remember to wash. Today I was befuddled as to why my shampoo wouldn't suds up and after 3 reapplications realized I was scrubbing conditioner into my scalp.
A customer is on the phone in the middle of the bar, not too crowded but a long bar. Guy couldn't have been more than 25. I go to help someone at the end of the bar and on my way back I overhear:
"No, I don't care! She's my sister, she is THIRTEEN and there is no reason she should be doing c*****e! At all!"
Gave him a few drinks on the house that night.
I lived in a working class area and the 7-11 on the weekends would produce hours of entertainment…. Mom to kids: “stop acting low income”.
On a family vacation to Spain:
“Dad? If there’s rainclouds in Spain does it rain?”
“No. Everyone knows hot sunny places don’t get rain”
“John. You’re an AP geography and biology teacher in a high school. You really should know how wrong you are”
“I have the degree so I know I’m right. None of you can tell me otherwise until you have my level of certification”
Those poor poor students.
Overheard on an elevator in a freshman dorm at college:
Girl 1: "How do you spell "bear"?"
Girl 2: "Like the animal?"
Girl 1: "Yes."
Girl 2: "B-A-R-E."
Girl 1: "Oh good I spelled it right. Thanks!"
I live in Ireland, I had a guy from England (a little tipsy) apologizing to all the Irish people in the bar for the 800years of occupation by England in our country and for the invasion of Oliver Cromwell. Kinda awkward.
Give the bloke some credit, at least, for having his heart in the right place.
Walking through a market that is known to sell santeria and witchcraft stuff I overheard an old man asking someone to put a curse on someone who took his car by tricking him in to signing some papers.
Being tricked one time wasn't enough for him.
I overheard a passenger passionately arguing with their seatmate about the correct way to eat a slice of pizza with chopsticks.
As a schoolboy I heard this one on the train: Boy: So why is he so afraid of cheese? Girl: Because his dad is a cheese technician and as a young boy he fell into a vat of liquid cheese and I guess he just never recovered from that.
A villain origin story! He has vowed to rid the world of all cheese everywhere. Even vegan cheese. No cheese is safe from the Cheese Grater!
A mom yelling at her daughter from across the park saying:
“Olivia! Do not throw away your shoes!”
At the exact same moment, Olivia pushed both of her shoes into the trash can and then ran to the swing set as if nothing had happened, while her mom was like:
“Olivia!! No!!”
"Do you think Brazilians celebrate Christmas?" "Yeah probably, but it's probably on a different day" "Yeah that makes sense."
I overheard a terrible first date. He only used hand soap. In the shower and to wash the dishes. I understand not needing 15 different cleaners but wow. He said he figured out how much he needed for his laundry.
Hand soap? If you are going to use one soap universally for body, dishes and clothes, I would at least choose dawn. It's safe on baby ducks and great at stain removal
Happened In secondary school, "if you were a triangle I'd measure your surface area".
When we discuss the dynamics of unexpected humor, it often reminds us of the human instinct to be kind in unpredictable situations. Just like overhearing a humorous conversation out of the blue can catch you off guard, acts of kindness can pop up in the least expected places.
If you're inspired by these spontaneous moments of levity, you might also appreciate how strangers rise to the occasion with surprising acts of heroism.
Exasperated Couple @ Ikea
Woman: "Hey babe, what do you think of this couch, wouldn't it look great in our living room?"
Man: "I have no idea why you're asking me, I got my shirt for free out of a beer box."
My parents speak Malayalam, a Dravidian language that nobody speaks outside of the state it's from or gatherings specifically for it. I was on a vacation in Prague and out of the blue I hear "Oh my god there is so much s**t in my a**, how did I miss this, is there a bathroom nearby?" I turn around and look at the guy, he looks at me, it gets awkward, I point around the corner, he lowers his head and goes.
I once overheard a woman at a coffee shop say, "I don't eat bread because it has yeast in it, and yeast is a living organism. I don't want to eat things that are alive." The guy she was with just nodded like this made perfect sense, and I had to physically restrain myself from explaining how food works.
I was the only customer in a Chinese restaurant and witnessed one of the waiters giving an English lesson to his coworkers. "May I have a glass of tea please, may I have a napkin, what is this s**t?"
Nearly fell out of my chair at this. So I got up and now am in bed. Safer.
My personal favorite was between two sorority girls on the bus "So you know how Becca was talking about getting a llama?" "Yeah..." "Well she actually did it! I went to her parents place to see it, and that f****r spit on me!!!"
Standing in an elevator, headed to the ground floor of a Atlantic City hotel.
Two guys get on dragging their bags and looking very hungover.
Quiet.
One guy says to his friend: Things will go back to normal once we get home.
His friend says back: Not after that.
So many possibilities...it could be what I'm thinking or it could be completely different.
I heard two girls arguing over what year it was. They decided, eventually, that it was 2007.
It was 2010.
I heard a girl talking on the phone and the conversation went something like this: "So I was sitting outside on a park bench, talking on the phone, when suddenly a chipmunk fell right into my hand. Like it fell directly into my hand and I got so freaked out that I threw it as far as I could. I literally launched a chipmunk across the park"
About a month ago in Wal-mart in the sporting goods section I was standing by a big bin of Nerf footballs. Approaching is a woman and a boy about 7 or 8 years old.
Boy: Can I have a football?
Woman: No.
Boy: Whyyyyyyy?
Woman: Because you've already eaten five of them this year.
Me: ಠ_ಠ
Setting: NYC Subway Younger black man with suitcase: I just want you all to know that I am getting on the train with a suspicious package. Older black man, not looking up from his newspaper: N***a, that is the stupidest thing you could have said.
Yes, I'm serious about this. I was at Target and overheard a lady talking on the phone in the car next to me (her phone was connected via Bluetooth, so even with her windows up, the conversation was crystal clear). She was trying to explain to the other woman on the phone that she doesn't think baby monitors are ethical because they are an invasion of her toddler's privacy. I am still blown away at this.
Couple walking towards me one night while I was heading to a club. Guy was mid-rant: "I can deal with s****y art! I can put up with lousy music. I can even handle d**g users and pushers! But I WILL NOT tolerate FLUORESCENT LIGHTING!!!" Had me howling all the way and into the club.
Drunk college girls walking down the street when one says "Sarah, remember when you were jessica and I peed on you?!"
A friend of mine, while working as a waiter, once overheard a conversation between two women which went something like this: WOMAN 1: 'I just don't know what to do about it' WOMAN ": 'I know. It's the worst of two bads THE WORST OF TWO BADS.
I was sat next to a teenage boy and his dad. The kid was telling his dad how much he loved the song “s****l healing” by Marvin Gaye, when the kid was finally done talking the dad just looked at him and said “you’re a virgin”.
A coworker on the phone talking about shooting someone and g**g activities. Then she says “alright grandma, I’ll talk to you later”.
Sitting next to a young woman and her boyfriend on a flight about to depart to San Diego. They were going for a romantic getaway, and apparently she decided to “find God” on the way to the airport. What did that mean? Well, she decided that they weren’t having anymore s*x until he married her, but kissing, hand holding and other PG rated intimacy were perfectly ok. Boyfriend tried his best not to flip out, but you could tell he was very agitated. An hour later we’re in the air and they’re both awkwardly sitting there without saying a word. She gasps and starts crying rather loudly. Apparently he logged into the planes WiFi, canceled the hotel and booked himself a turnaround flight home. Pretty sure they were done as well.
Overheard one of my friends mom while gaming and on skype and she told him "PICK UP ALL THESE D**N ACORNS IN THE BACKYARD! I DONT WANT ANOTHER TREE GROWING IN MY YARD". She literally made him spend 3 hours outside picking up every single acorn in his backyard....
On a plane, sitting near a traveling baseball team of boys about 14-16ish.
“No dude, you don’t understand, he’s like the best chinchilla breeder in the country!”
At a religious college towards the beginning of the semester, I overheard a girl addressing her friends. "It's so wonderful, he proposed to me and I was still able to get all my tuition back!"
A teenager on the bus once said that if your hair is dyed when you get pregant you can pass that colour on to your child.
Well, a grown man told me that if I drunk a lot of juice while MAKING a baby, they baby would get my eye colour.
A great moment over heard while on honeymoon, American couple walking just behind us on Dubrovnik city walls.
The man begins "It's crazy how they've managed to avoid Starbuck's or McDonald's setting up here."
"That would be like opening a strip club in a national park" the lady replies with righteous indignation.
With absolute sincerity her partner responds "But what if it were a really nice strip club?"
Two businessmen having after work drinks on a Friday, where the conversation built up to one of the sweetest sentiments I've heard. At first the usual "Lemme tell ya, you're a good person. I love you man." Later on (still fairly basic): "F**k the wives! Hey, you and me, we buy motorcycles!"
To finally this gem: "If a tornado were to blow you away... I would fly after you."
Analyn, men can have strong friendships without wanting to put any part of themselves in any part of the other person. Just as a kind act towards a woman can often wrongly be seen as a flirtation, this instant jump to homosexuality when a strong friendship is hinted at restricts men from being open and honest. Let guys just be themselves without it being a sex thing.
I once listened to three people have an in depth discussion about how they were going to kill the "local vampire" and the steps to take to protect themselves from the coven that said vampire is surely from.
My favorite though what a heated debate over whether the first Robin would be a crime fighter if Batman hadn't picked him up and trained him.
Richard Grayson (Because BP will censor his name) would have been a murderer if Batman hadn't taken him in. In-canon, when he did find the man responsible for his parents' death, he almost killed the guy anyway.
It wasn't really a conversation between two people, per se. More like one person conversing with an ice cream making machine.
I was eating at Old Country Buffet (yummm) and got up for dessert. Wanted a cone. I stood in line behind a guy getting himself a chocolate ice cream treat, and as he pressed down on the machine he was talking dirty to it. "Oh yeah? You like that? Yesss...mmmm...that's sooo good...oh wait, wait, slow...slower...yeah that's it...mmmm...you like that, don't you?"
I decided to have the jell-o instead.
My freshman roommate in college would talk on the phone 24/7, to anyone and everyone. His gf, the girl he was cheating on his gf with, and my personal favorite, some random conversation that I was barely paying attention to when suddenly: "Oh! I forgot to tell you...your daughter broke up with me yesterday!"
To this day I kick myself for not paying attention from the beginning
On a plane back from Poland. Just before covid arrived. Two guys discussing why they were putting masks on. I was thinking at the time that’s a bit much! Little did I know at the time! Wow! I was so dumb. Here we are though!
In Liverpool before the pandemic we saw Chinese tourists with masks on. And chemists’ windows with big signs saying WE DO NOT SELL MASKS. How ironic.
My fiance and I were kayaking and a group of about 5 people ahead of us were talking. One man loudly says "I can't keep her out of the toilet, she brushes her teeth with toilet water!" A woman then said "what? You brush your teeth with toilet water?" and the accused woman responded with "yeah it-" and I couldn't make out what else she said. My fiance looked at me and asked if he had heard all of that correctly and I confirmed that he had. This was this past Summer and I think about it all the time
Various ancient cultures brushed with urine. The Romans bleached togas with it.
Dude 1: "Hey man...what do you think a penguin would taste like? Like, would it taste like chicken but cold?" Dude 2: "Curtis are you ok? Like, did you hit your head or something?" Dude 1: "No I'm fine, it's just something that keeps me up at night" This happened last year in my school's lunch line. I was standing in front of the two guys and it really got me thinking about what penguins might taste like.
I'm more concerned about the person thinking penguin meat is cold because penguins come from a cold climate.
A man walking his wife to the car from the hospital: "Are you ok, honey?"
Wife: "You don't understand. They TOOK MY BLOOD!"
Something tells me she was given some happy meds that did NOT make her happy.
Ohh. I got this one...
Passenger W is struggling to get his luggage into the overhead compartment and passenger E seated next to me starts getting upset. W's carry-on clearly doesn't fit.
E speaks up saying to be careful because his luggage is there. Flight attendant comes over and says passenger W needs to check his bag. W grows increasingly disturbed, but it works out.
Then W says to the flight attendant "I'm sorry, it's just that I haven't taken my medication. I get so nervous with all these body bags on board. You know I have body parts in my luggage."
Passenger E turns to me and says, "did you hear that? I just have a laptop in my luggage!"
My husband and I were in a booth at a restaurant and the booth behind us sat a young man, his girlfriend, and her parents. The boyfriend said “I don’t know if my lips are dry because I lick them too much or not enough.”
Just yesterday I heard a woman at my work ask 'Whats the capital of Amsterdam'? Her friend followed up with 'Pretty sure its Copenhagen'. She wrote 'answer' down on something with a confident look on her face.
Girl 1: Why'd you eat my mayonnaise? You have your own.
Girl 2: I like the combination.
1: so you ate half a jar of mine without asking?
2: yes, I like the combination.
1: that stills doesn't explain why you used mine.
2: I LIKE THE COMBINATION
My high school had a lot of s*****s. One day in class I overheard the following, Dude 1: Hey, so man, you got my stuff in your car? Dude 2: Yeah, man, I got it. You got the money? Dude 1: Well, I do, but it's all in quarters. Dude 2: Quarters? What the hell am I supposed to do with $100 worth of quarters? Dude 1: Hey man, you just said I needed to bring you $100, you didn't say it had to be in bills. Dude 2: What... Where the hell did you even get $100 worth of quarters? Dude 1: Hey, look, do you want it or not? Dude 2: What the f**k ever man. Meet me in the xxx parking lot after 4th period. FYI I don't remember the actual amount, but it was somewhere in the $50-$150 range.
Can’t remember it exactly word for word (this was overheard on my college campus - I’ve since graduated.
“He took a shower. I have photographic evidence.”
In my Ceramics class a few weeks ago, a few kids were talking about what happens to a single child when the parents divorce. They mentioned splitting the child (like in half) and got the whole class's attention right fast, teacher included.
At KFC an overweight woman walked up to the counter and ordered a bucket of chicken. "Is that for here or to go?" "You think I can eat a whole bucket of chicken all by myself?" "I don't know your life.... b***h." (It's funnier to tell than to type because inflection is key on this one)
Didn't Danny from Game Grumps tell that story originally? Or is this just a common enough occurrence that it happened twice?
You know how sometimes when you’re home alone, you’ll just kind of talk out loud about whatever, or pretend you’re doing an interview or something?
My dad came out of his office to the living room and said “Yeah I’m working from home today, by the way.”
Somebody was talking on the phone on my way back to the car from the grocery store "No I didn't f*****g k**l him, why would you f*****g think that" Needless to say I probably broke a record for fastest car grocery loading ever.
A few guys talking about getting jobs when a girl at the same table chimes in.
Girl: I'm just gonna get a job as a plumber, work it for like a week, get fired and collect unemployment. It's what my dad does.

I was walking to a friends house and I overheard these two dudes angrily bickering "I LOVE YOU YOU C**T" "NO I LOVE YOU MORE" "YOU KNOW WHAT, F**K YOU" "WELL EXCUSE ME FOR BEING-" sound of furniture being thrown insues.
After school I was sitting under a tree reading and these two little 3rd graders boys were chatting right next to me.. I didn't register what they were talking about until I heard "watery poo" and "it went in my mouth!". His friend then said "wow I wish that happened to me!".. And I had to put my book down and stare at them, they looked so excited and I'm still confused about WHY poo in your mouth would excite them so much.
I used to drive Uber. I once picked up a guy and two girls from a house to drive to a restaurant. All of them were toasted. One girl appeared to be the guy’s (much much younger) girlfriend, the other girl was her friend. The girlfriend ask the other girl “Oh my god, you know what I’m really looking forward to?” The friend answered “The th*****e?” without missing a beat the girlfriend said “No the spring rolls they are SO good.” All I could do was laugh to myself.
Just last Friday I overheard an older couple quietly beginning to argue, but ultimately and absurdly agreed on heading down to the courthouse the following Monday to begin filing for divorce. Then the woman proceeded to say as they we're splitting the bill, "Fourteen years. Fourteen years wasted on your dumb a**."
In a hotel bar:
Guy one says, "How do we sell more caskets?" Guy two responds, "Hope for a plane crash."
Well, with Trump's abolishment of the Air Safety Advisory Committee, things are looking up for them.
Was chillin in my 1st floor apartment in Chicago, windows down, hear a girl softly sobbing while a man (ostensibly her boyfriend) shouts at her: "You're a f*****g dentist, Ashley, ok? A f*****g dentist." Can't quite put my finger on why, but I'll always love that one.
I would need to hear more of the conversation to know what's going on.

Two ladies are talking in the booth next to mine: Lady1: So how is it going with your man? [name forgotten] told me it was getting serious. Lady2: Well it has been serious for a while but we are getting to move in together finally. He had been telling me for months that he was going to leave his wife and he never did it, well, you remember that lady's car they pulled out of the Illinois a couple weeks ago? That was his wife, she lost control and the car fell into the river. But wait! it gets better. The life insurance payment came through from it and he is using it to take me to new York and put the down payment on a house. Lady1: How is he burying his wife? Lady2: I don't know, that's her family's problem. ^ Best part of this is that neither were fazed by the content of this conversation
My girlfriend and I once overheard a guy say to his friends "I got pepper sprayed two nights in a row this weekend, so you know I was doing something right."
3:25 pm Girl: Excuse me sir, what time is it. Old man: 8:50 Girl: Thank you Old Man: Dumb b***h...
Did he caller her dumb for not knowing the time, dumb for believing the wrong time or dumb for thinking he is senile old man who actually thought it was 8:50.
Two middle-aged women sat behind me in a cafe. Woman 1: 'What did you end up getting John for his birthday?" Woman 2: "Well, I got sick of asking him what he wanted and him saying 'just surprise me' so I bought a strap-on and surprised him." Woman 1: "Really? What did he say to that?" Woman 2: "He said that next year he'll pick his own sodding present!"
Oh dear, and you've only just got off the naughty step
Load More Replies...Here's the funniest thing I heard out of context: "No, no, you can GENTLY plow turtles!" I didn't overhear it. I turned on the radio and it was the first thing I heard. (Turns out there was a large group of turtles that had overrun an airport runway somewhere. She was offering a solution of plowing them off the tarmac. But out of context, I thought it was quite hilarious.)
Many years ago when I was at university, two ladies walked past, telling the tail end of a joke. I didn't find out how the whole thing went until Internet days finally came around, but what I heard was: ""Sir, I asked to see your ticket, not your stub," and then hysterical laughing.
While at the store in the ice cream section I hear a husband and wife: Him: What flavor should we get? Her: Honey, you've never done me wrong. Well, at least not when it comes to ice cream.
I was on a bus and these two university-age women were sitting across from me. One said to the other, "Man, I really want some cop porn." Her friend went "Wha--?" and she looked horrified and said "POPcorn! I meant I want POPCORN!" I couldn't help laughing.
Overheard at the gym Woman was telling the other that a coworker ran off with some foreigner. He was either Roman or Italian
My favorite is from when I was in college about 20 years ago. I passed two guys talking and heard one go "you wouldn't?! I'd f**k Barbara Walters!"
at a stop light, window was down. woman driver next to me, her window down. lady driver to male passenger, YELLING, "WAS IT WORTH IT!? WAS HER P--SY WORTH OUR RELATIONSHIP!?"
When a young teenager I was in town with 3 friends. I'm old, so before cell phones, we used a pay phone to call another friend to see if he wanted to hang out with us. One of my friends picked up the phone, dialed the number and when it was answered, he turned to the rest of us in a mad panic and said "quick, hide your cigarettes, it's his dad!!!".
Couple of years ago I went to a pee doctor with a bladder blockage. When he got 1.6L out of me he said "Wow!"
Once heard a university student talking to his girlfriend in the booth behind ours at a restaurant. He was describing a 12 week semester. Him: I mean, me failing math really wasn’t my fault. Her: Of course. Him: Right? I mean, I missed 9 weeks when I was sick. That’s like 50% of the course! Yeah. Pretty sure he would have failed the course anyway.

Sitting in a restaurant in a booth next to my 17 year old nephew. From the booth behind us we hear: Woman#1: Do you still have your ear infection? Woman#2: Yes. Woman#1: I thought I could smell it.
Going home on the bus. The only maybe free seat is in the very back but a young man is man-spreading over it. I walk back and say:"Scoot over, your junk isn't that big." He got up and left.
I took the wife of a guy I worked with to the airport because she had a family emergency back in UK. She was very upset tearing up as they said goodbye. To him she said. "If you have to do it please no in our bed"
