Juiciest conversation/message exchange you've accidentally overheard/seen

[Echobelly]

For a bit of fun, have you ever heard a conversation or seen an exchange of messages that you're not supposed to but you can't help tuning into?

About a year ago I was next to an older guy on the tube who was typing out a furious email, presumably to an adult child, along the lines of 'Your grandfather would be ashamed, the businesses of [Family Name] has to be passed on....' and things along those lines. I just caught a glance of it and was transfixed. Serious family melodrama! The whole tone of it was like something from a vintage TV series, I honestly didn't think anyone actually talked (typed?) like that anymore.

I wonder did Lisa even know she was being used as a drugs mule? Poor her if she didn't know and she was caught. 🌹

😂

I think most, if not all, of these are found on work phones!?

@petit0579 no it can't have been @johnlapsleyparblane as this was in the Margate area of Kent, so miles away from Scotland...

Oops I meant @JohnLapsleyParlabane (tired eyes)

I was staying in a cheap hoyel abroad many, many years ago and was woken by a furious row between three girls in the corrider.
The best line was "you'd better lose some weight before you argue with me..."

I sat on a train next to 2 senior tv executies (strangers) who were discussing a well-known presenter, bits about their job, and the fact that they were considering changes to scheduling which would have an impact upon this person.
I knew the person they were discussing personally

I did..

(Joking, it wasn't me!)

Since when is doing a pregnancy test for wisdom teeth removal compulsory? Too mant risks involved in that policy
Normally, patients are merely asked if there is any chance you could be pregnant, even if they are going for radiotherapy/x-rays or other risky proceedures.

I was in a spoons smoking area some years ago. There was conversation at another table where sex was loosely being discussed. Sitting on her own at another table a woman in her 30s' suddenly shouted out very loudly "I love it up the arse".

Did you tell them?

Yes! I got off before them, so as I was gathering my stuff up, I said 'I nowknow, as does half the carriage, who you work for and you up-coming plans.
However, I also know one of the people you are discussing'
Goldfish mouths, red faces, total silence in response!

I was sitting on a crowded bus and there was the general hubbub of surrounding sounds but I could clearly hear the guy behind me talking into his phone in a lowish but angry voice.

It was at the time of the revelations of the Dodgy Dossier and the conversation was littered with 'fucking Gilligan', 'Kelly', and other names that I didn't recognise but mainly the conversation was about 'fucking Gilligan' and various goings-on.

He was somehow intimately involved but from what angle I don't know - it wasn't Alastair Campbell, I would have recognised his voice. I doubt it was a very senior politician as he would be unlikely to be on a bus. He was likely a journalist or maybe a senior civil servant, or MP.

Sadly Kelly was found dead a day or two later.

A few months ago,I was sat in our staff room,waiting for my shift to start

One if my colleagues ran in,phone clamped to her ear and muttered 'but mum!you have to come!'

'Muuummm!I really need you to come to work!'

'But mum!I need you to bring something in for me!'

'OK!I forgot my bra and need you to bring one in for me!'

How the hell do you forget your bra?!

(Mum didn't appear so I'm guessing the poor girl went unsupported all shift)

@Gingerdancedbackwards I had to have a pregnancy test ahead of my wisdom teeth surgery. It was a private clinic using PMI so maybe different on NHS

Eh? So weird.

I once got half way to work before realising I had forgotten to put a bra on! I don't really wear one at home.
Had to make an emergency detour to Tesco!

Not me but DH.
Went to a business meeting and had conversation with business owners who were 2 brothers.
The owners swapped to their native language to discuss some finer points of contract before switching back to English.
Meeting concluded and as DH walked out, he addressed them in their native language and told them he didn’t appreciate being called an a**hole.
Grovelling apologies from business owners.

Something similar (not quite the same) happened with a family member in a local shop.

family member went in.
owners were polite when speaking to and interacting with family member but spoke each other in another language.
family member on the way out after being served said to owners in the language they had been speaking to each other “I don’t appreciate you being nice to my face but being so insulting and talking so disgustingly about me in front of me thinking I can’t understand what you are saying, do you talk about all your customers that way or just the women?”

owners mouths fall open in shock and didn’t know how to respond to being caught out! They never spoke in the other language in front of family member again!

😁😁😁

Something similar happened to my DSis's ex years ago. He had been stationed all over the place in the army, but was back in the UK.

Coming home from the pub, he had the munchies, so popped into a kebab shop, where the owner was tidying up to close. He asked (in English) if the guy was still serving, no problem if not. The owner said yes, then muttered something in Turkish. Every time he asked the ex if he wanted something, he would mumble something.

When the kebab was assembled and wrapped, the ex said - in fluent Turkish - "I assume you don't want me to pay for this?" As a soldier formerly stationed in Cyprus, he had a pretty good command of Turkish swearing.

Not what I overheard but what the owner of the company heard me say to my girlfriend. She was asking how my puppy was when we were outside. I said “I thought he was getting good at waking me up but I opened my eyes this morning and…” and just at that very moment, the owner of the company opened the door as I finished my sentence “…he’d shit at the bottom of the bed” That all he would have heard out of the conversation! Me and my girlfriend were crying laughing when the door shut behind us. I said to my girlfriend “He’ll be walking to his car now thinking wtf???” 😂

Years ago, I was sitting on a bench in Newcastle, having a coffee in the sun (no, honestly!) and a bloke on the other end answered his phone. I could hear lots of shouting.

The bloke said, "Sorry pal, you've got the wrong number... No, you don't know who I am... No, you don't know where I live... Oh fuck off, ya daft Cockney wanker!"

He looked at me and said,

"I feel sorry for whoever he's looking for."

"Oh?" I said.

"Apparently, he owes him ten grand for coke and he's going round with his shotgun."

Was at DP's nieces wedding. Overheard the groom's mother and sister saying that niece scrubbed up well and looked better than expected but agreed that she'd been lucky to get him. She's a model. A model! With family like that he has predictably turned out to be an arsehole.

That's just reminded me of a party when I was about 16. The parents had gone out but came back early. Something had obviously happened because the mother went straight upstairs and started throwing the dad's clothes out of the bedroom window. Can't remember what she was shouting but about 20 teenagers gradually came out of the house. We stood about awkwardly for a bit watching the drama and then went home.
