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.

This one is bizarre but was legendary among the staff at the school my mum taught at. A teacher saw two boys chatting when they should have been in a lesson so went up to have a word with them. As he approached he heard:

”you'll never guess what, my dad looked out of the window last night and he saw a man shagging a dog!”

then there was thoughtful pause and the other boy said

“whose dog was it?”

This is genius

As a trainee solicitor sat waiting on a train back from town X to town Y where I worked after a short court appearance with the other side. Old fashioned train so high backed seats. Realised that the other sides solicitor and barrister had got on the same train and were sat two seats down, chatting loudly about the gaps in the case. I waited a few minutes then felt guilty and got up to let them know I was there.

conduct rules prevented me from using anything I overheard but the look on their faces was priceless!!

this was 20+ years ago, and I work in a different field now but it’s always stuck with me that you never ever know who can overhear you!!

😂😂😂

Whose dog...

Priceless!

I was looking after a business for someone whilst he went abroad to visit his family. I had to access his emails for any bookings etc. I was shocked to see a ‘Congratulations on booking your honeymoon’ email addressed to him. His girlfriend who he was seeing at the time was still over here. I said nothing to anyone - but he had a whole lot of explaining to do when he returned home………………with the news he had indeed got married over there! 🙄

That’s the funnniest thing -kids!!!😂😂😂

Thank you for reaching out to her. I’m selfishly having a trickle eye moment now….

Neighbours just now popped in their garden mid conversation

"I never wanted an orange one, I've told you that"

"of course you don't, you're boring, you've always been bloody boring"

Now gone back in so I don't know what he doesn't want an orange one of...

My neighbours regularly have loud shouting matches I can hear through the party wall. Sadly, all the shouting is done in Romanian so I have no idea what they're angry about.

I briefly worked at a small company where my predecessor had been arrested and charged with stealing company money. I had her old computer and checked the MSN Messenger logs. I don't know how she had time to steal anything as she seemed to have spent all day every day having cybersex with random men. I printed off the logs for the police.

Didn't happen.

One Christmas Eve about 5.15pm I saw a man rushing along dragging a small child along saying "Well what do YOU think mummy wants?"
Left it a bit late, mate...

ooh…. chiminea? dildo? garden gnome?

😂😂😂😂

On a holiday in Ireland, stopped at a cafe for breakfast and an American man at the next table saying over & over "but I want pancakes - I always have pancakes for breakfast" to a young girl in a rural Irish cafe, who was giving him that look that says we have toast, or a full Irish, or nothing!

On the plane back from said holiday, as we were waiting to take off a guy in the row in front was sexting a woman and we could clearly see/hear though the gap in the seats. She was asking if anyone else could see her as she was shaking her boobs at him and he confirmed that no, no-one else could - so I got my face up close between the seats and waved at her.

And another of those 'be careful who overhears your conversation' - was sitting in a pub with a friend, waiting for friend 3 to arrive. People at the next table were talking about friend 3 and querying if she was a stripper, or just worked as a barmaid in the stripper pub (the latter being correct) - the two of us couldn't take our eyes off the next table when friend 3 walked in!

I was on a train that was delayed, missing the connection that would get people into a particular city for 09.00. There wasn't another connecting service for 90minutes, so the train company put us in taxis.

In my cab were two member of the legal team of a very infamous criminal - you'd most likely remember the situation - who was then on remand awaiting trial. They were on their way to a case management hearing. I was in the front, and they were discussing the case as though the cabbie and I weren't there. I overheard how this person was planning to run a psychiatric defence but they'd tried three different experts and no one would produce a report that the team were happy with. They discussed details of overwhelming evidence against their client and that the person continued to refuse to plead guilty even though this was their advice.

In a pub one lunchtime and overheard a man (next booth along) talking about how he was in a public toilet and had been propositioned by a famous TV chef. He wasn't very busy and the money being offered was good so he'd said yes. Then I had to leave the pub and go back to work.

Since I imagine when asked, having had unprotected sex, there was a chance.

A very good chance as it turns out

Dying to know who it was now!

But it isn't a compulsory test. They ask if you might be. If you say yes, i might, they will test

Right?

So when asked 'Is there a chance you could be pregnant?' the lady clearly said yes.

So in order to continue with the operation they have to check.

Whilst not compulsory, if she didn't take a test to rule out being pregnant, having disclosed that she could be, they would be unlikely to continue with the operation.

Years ago in Herne Bay on a sunny afternoon, suited and booted man on his mobile - "Yup... Yup... That's okay, I'm in the office right now...". Let's hope the called couldn't hear the very vociferous seagulls!

It's because of the anaesthesia/surgery and risk to early pregnancy. Everywhere does it unless there is no feasible way you could be pregnant (e.g. having had a hysterectomy).

Yes, I know.
My point was, pregnancy tests are NOT compulsory pre-op
You only had one because you thought you might be

Was in town shopping one Saturday and there were some people handing out leaflets and telling everyone "Jesus loves you". A young lad walking behind me said to his friend "He wouldn't if he knew what I did last night" 😂😂
