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!

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)

I was thinking that too. I work in retail and I can have 100+ interactions and still keep my smile. Still, I sympathize with the customer

Toootally. I'm from another country and I lived in LA for a couple of years. It really irked me to have to report my condition multiple times a day, like I'm giving a weather report on my mood. It got really tiring to paste on a smile all the freaking time cos if you say anything like "I'm ok", you'll get "Oh, just okay?" Leave me the f*** alone!!!!!!!

As the cashier who asks this 187 times a day I would be so happy if someone said this. You get me!

I'm a bouncer and I hate this question. How the heck do you think it's going dealing with drunk morons?

Poor guy, he's pretty stout, 87 interactions come too much to my introverted soul.

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

But they can't cook a chicken at 31 and get credit for following people on instagram?

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. ;)
