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!

" I was an actress for good two decades just like you, I've won a prize for a book of the year and I used to be a teenage champion at gator catching competitions all around the country. But right now I have a more laid-back job, as you can see. Nice to meet you." *Puts her arms together on the desk with a meaningful smile*

Well. That's disheartening. Well done for being honest, though.

I lived in LA in my very early 20's, just for fun... Went to have my palms read, more out of boredom than anything... I've never put any stock in it... but I have laughed for years over my reading.. palm reader: Your acting career is really going to take off soon Me: perplexed look Palm reader: you're not here for acting? Me: No (this exact same reading repeated itself like 3 more times... your singing career... your modeling career... your writing career... each time I answered, no... I'm not trying to make a career out of any of that) Finally she shook her head and literally said "then why are you here?!?!" lololol That was my last palm reading. None of those careers took off for me either.

Everyone in LA is an actor but mostly they just wait tables.

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.

I can relate. Those photos of kids are so extremely annoying! Honestly want to unfriend my friends sometimes.

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. ;)
