The popularity of Overheard L.A., San Francisco and New York accounts seems to have awakened the nosy little eavesdroppers within us. Although people say that listening to other private conversations is an impolite thing to do, there’s so much small talk happening in public that sometimes we just can’t help it.

Take a look at how many people shared the meticulously documented conversations they overheard with no context whatsoever. Whether someone’s at the museum, grocery store or working for a 3 billion dollar company, these interactions are equal parts bizarre and hilarious.

We have collected some of the best tweets floating around Twitter, so continue scrolling and upvote your favorite ones. When you’re done with this post, you’ll find some more hilarious quotes right here.

Stop stereotyping kids toys! My three adult kids chose what toys they wanted, whether a doll for the boys or nerf guns for my girl. Let kids be and stop pushing your gender agenda on them.

    While the presence of a library in a town might appear like something mundane, the absence of it would be somewhat concerning. So yes.

    Overheard in Oxford (UK) once - two academics in full regalia on their way to some function or other, one talking animatedly to the other says " and eighthly, I suggest that Plato was the foremost of the Greek democracy to abandon hagiocracy as a form of governance ... only in Oxford ..... once had two elderly Dons discussing the benefits of a fish based diet along with all of the medical ailments that could be staved off whilst following it, whilst having a fish supper in the restaurant I was running at the time .... happy days.

    We'd love to be over it in the US, too. Instead, we've had two staff suicides, huge quits/requests for a new assignment within hospital/ and i'm a freakin' unpaid person with an MD having to step in, so yeah, *over it* is not an option till humanity gets over being selfish and stupid. Whoops, sorry. Shift starts in two hours and I am feeling unMerry to say the least.

    Ghislaine Maxwell is the daughter of the lying, cheating, swindling bastard Robert Maxwell who left thousands of his ex employees and pensioners penniless because he plundered their pension funds in order to keep his businesses afloat ( a fact that a certain bitch called Thatcher knew about, but did nothing) ; after he died by falling off his yacht, a certain 'Murky' Murdoch, took over the reins of his dodgy empire and kept princess Ghislaine under his wing - The dead, cold hand of Murdoch is all over this ... if only he was dead, here's hoping.
