After the popularity of Overheard L.A. and then Overheard New York, it seems that we have all become nosy little eavesdroppers. While listening in on strangers conversations should still be considered rude and intrusive, sometimes you can't help but pick up a juicy snippet of gossip, completely out of context, that is just comedy gold.

People are taking to Twitter in their thousands to document these random overheard conversations, and while this may suck in terms of our privacy when out among strangers, its certainly good for a laugh on the internet!

Scroll down below to check out some of the best, compiled in a list by Bored Panda. Scroll down below to check them out for yourself, and don't forget to vote for your favorites!

    At this point, answer an imaginary phone call in that very language. And slow turn and smile devilishly at their horrified expressions

    Having a sex playlist is not awkward enough? And regarding the anthem: everyone should STAND UP anyway...

    I do this with my daughter. I'm always closest to the street and on those rare occasions when she comes in my room in the middle of the night to get in my bed, I always sleep closest to the door just in case I gotta pull out my Kimber Solo and whoop some intruders a*s. Hahahahaha.

    What is this about "white guys"? Why would their skin colour matter in this regard? So annoying that "guys" is always qualified with a skin colour...

    :( I don't care if this comment gets down voted, I cannot keep this inside: This is an awful thing to say to any child of any age. We don't own anyone, not even our kids. They are PEOPLE, with their own bodies, their own brains, their own feelings and opinions and no one owns them. not their parents, no one. they are not belongings or things or slaves.

    If I close the door, my dog paws at it until I open up. We've taught her to do this on our door if she wants in or out as we don't live alone. Although when I leave for work in the morning and she does it to the front door it pulls at my heart.

    This sounds like something I'd say. I once worked at our local golf course where people look for puffins. People would come into the pro shop and ask me about them and I got into trouble for telling the rich guests that they taste great. Probably not the best thing to say.

    Some libraries require membership for entry. That is a sin against God and a crime against humanity. When I am empress, those people will be flogged. And keel-hauled.
