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)

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.

It's the difference between changing gloves and wiping down the food prep surfaces and just hoping the answer is "no" which would mean you aren't cleaning vomit and puke out of the restroom. Honestly people need to learn something.

Reminds me of when my gf was ordering a burger and asked for no tomatoes and the cashier asked, "allergies or preference?" Does it matter?

I mean, it could. If it was alleges and they gave her a burger that had, at one point, been in contact with tomatoes, she could have a reaction and get sick. And then the place would have a lawsuit to deal with.

Not necessarily. If she is allergic to gluten, they have to make sure that nothing in the meal prep process cross contaminates her meal. If she isnt, they just have to make sure they make it without gluten.

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. ;)
