Weird overheard conversations

[Iverunoutofnames]

I’ve been to B&Q this morning for some paint for the gate. Anyway there’s an older couple near me and they ask the very young Assistant where the garage door paint is. Assistant clearly doesn’t know but is being as helpful as possible, “ well it will be with the metal paints (where we are) I would think, if not I can find someone else to help”.
Older couple walk a bit further down towards me, man is furious. He starts ranting about how unhelpful assistant has been and he’s only done that “because he’s jealous we have a garage”.
I would have laughed if it wasn’t such an odd thing to say, I’m sure it’s not what 17/18 lads are jealous of anyway... plain weird.
Please share with me your overheard weirdness.

I'm jealous of people who don't have a garage, ours is full of shit!!

You need to check out classics... overheard on a bus I think it's called. Hilarious.

We only have a shed. I would quite like a garage (so I could have a chest freezer).

That thread is amazing

"My hole is closed. My husband has tried to open it up. He tried using lubricant. He prodded for a while"

Overheard on a train. Person was on phone.

Related to the garage thing, two teenagers on the bus, years ago:

• my dad is so annoying about the shed.
• your mum's a shed.

We live in a sort of hidden flat behind town and the road next to our windows is like a quiet through road where many people walk.
We hear a lot of odd conversations, mainly from teenage boys. The best has to be from about a 13 year old wanting to sound 25 "we were kissing yeah and she put her hand down my boxers and was like 'woah, you've got loads of pubes'" me and dh have never laughed so much in our lives!

2 students on a train talking about accents.

Student 1: what's the strongest English accent?
Student 2: Scottish?
Student 1: oh yeah

🤦‍♀️

I think I was probably someone else's overheard conversation a while ago Talking to my friend about Rubiks cubes, we turned the corner and passed a couple right as I said "oh we've got a big one at home but it's tricky because it's always so stiff"

Overheard person on train saying in to phone "no, I don't think we can call Greggs a patisserie"

Group of teenage girls maybe 18/19 ish, one had a baby with her, her friend says to her
“I sometimes forget you’ve got a baby”
her reply was
“yeah so do I until she cries” 😳
