We‘ve all been taught that it‘s not polite to listen to somebody else‘s private conversations. But sometimes you just can‘t help it but overhear some of it passing by, riding a bus, lifting weights at the gym, or casually shopping. And what makes these funny conversations as amusing as they are is that they're completely out of context.

This Instagram account, Overheard LA, is dedicated to such overheard conversations happening in Los Angeles, California. Stating that “We all have ears,” the creators invite Angelinos to share some of the best pieces that they have ever overheard in their daily lives while living in the City of Angels. From weird questions and ubiquitous conversation topics - the Los Angeles population always has some funny things to say. We think it’s hilarious, and for the rest, you’ll have to scroll down and see for yourself!

Having worked place where the owner expected me to serve those who knocked on the door after closing if I was serving people who came in before I closed, I completely understand this.

I would have told them, in order to save themselves anger or frustration, they should "emotionally" close at 7.

I had a girl in my class ask our Chemistry teacher if we were going to study Astrology... He was not impressed (We were supposed to be starting ASTRONOMY)

This needs to be an actual measurement of responsibility. Like: from plastic plant to white pants, how responsible are you?

Mature kid? They certainly know how to give a good excuse whether it's true or not!

Luna Lovegood type of client! I would've done something like that if my language had such word similarities.

In most cases this is accurate. If you want to fix an exact hour, try with:" See you in 6 minutes". It works for me. ;)
