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.

What an awful human to say something like that

And also if it's true which I highly doubt then what sort of drip would be so spineless as to get married "against their will".

Coming out of Debenhams about 10 years ago I waited under their shelter as it was raining. Couple in their 60s stood not far along and I hear the woman say 'yes you were fucking looking at her! Go on then go back there for your girlfriend'
I didn't hear what he mumbled and I just walked out in the rain as I didnt know what to do. Should have stayed to hear her out more.

Why would you think it's not true?
I assume he was trying to get a laugh out of his mates with the last bit.
But it really, really hurt me to hear this from him.
I did actually tell him I overheard his conversation several years after our divorce, but he said he didn't remember it.

@Hadalifeonce

Oh no I wasn't suggesting you were making it up 😳 I've just realised my post might have read that way and I didn't mean it to I'm sorry

I meant if HE really meant what he said about getting narried against his will. Like...I'm sure it wasn't against his will at all. and he was just rewriting history / showing off in front of his mates / bit of both

Hope this makes sense ...I'm very tired and I'm even less articulate when I'm tired 😴

Saw a lady walk from my local bus station and tell someone on her phone that she was "about to sell her body for the first time".
Made me feel sad, and even worse was that a man heard her and approached her too,

I had put this so far into memory, I remembered it with unreasonable pain reading all the other posts. So, I may have read your post a bit defensively.

I overheard a bloke say to a woman . "The next thing you need to do is tell your husband " just the other day !

On the bus home last week in Edinburgh a guy across from me about similar age to myself (middle aged). He's on his phone loudly telling someone about some travel plans for something they're both attending.
"Yeah you know the big Pringles tubs, the proper big ones? Salt and vinegar I think. Yeah so three of them and two smaller ones for everyone to just help themselves"

I'm thinking how nice he's taking snacks for his pals. Nope!

"Yeah so Lisa's bringing all the Pringles tubs, fuck knows how she's getting it by any sniffer dogs at the airport but they're all filled to the brim mate, tons of gear for everyone."

So Pringles tubs repurposed then. I kind of want to know how Lisa gets on at the airport!

You win the internet today.
😂😂😂😂

My boss gave me access to his emails.

I have no idea how he had time to run our project AND shag half the women who worked for him. It just goes to show how much you can fit into a day if you are organised.

Oh god! Poor Lisa.

Although I do know a guy who took a ton of gear to Spain in a shampoo bottle so she might be OK.

We live in a quiet sort of street- many elderly people who have been here forever (we have been here 30 odd years)- not a loud music/parties/drama type place really- but there are one or two houses that have changed hands a lot for whatever reason.

One day the women from 2 of these houses got into a slanging match in the middle of the road, and the immortal line “leave it Sharon, she’s not worth it!” came from one woman’s husband- and was followed from the other woman by “I grew up in a mansion!”

About 15 years ago, my DH got a text that wasn't meant for him saying, "John asked me to marry him, under the light of the moon. And I said yes!"

When he showed me we decided to have a bit of fun and replied, "I've got something to tell you about John..." as we were being silly. We couldn't keep it going so a few minutes later texted back and told them only joking-wrong number. They did not sound happy and said "well, aren't you a nice person". That made us giggle even more, I'm ashamed to say. With a bit more life experience under my belt, I wouldn't send that text now. Sending apologies to that person and hope they had a wonderful engagement and a long and happy marriage. 😊

lol

😂😂😂

Single line of a couple having a blazing row as they stormed past the window "Yeah?! Maybe it IS cheating but at least I didn't swipe right on my own sister!" 😳

I was doing some work with our waiting lists and came across a name that was the same as my then managers; I opened up his "namesake's" file which initially didn't reveal a lot but did make reference to an accusation of child abuse. I opened up an email link on the system to determine whether I needed to create a warning on the file -only to discover that it was him! He should never have been on a client database!! The reference to abuse was an allegation by his ex-wife which I am not sure whether was true or not, but said link led to a document detailing a current disciplinary procedure against him (not related to any abuse claims) with some eyewatering detail. Juciest goss I ever read! I didn't tell any of my colleagues but did report my findings to IT so they could restrict access and ensure no-one else stumbled across it

That was so mean.

Or fluffy bum or whatever!

It's not overhearing a phone conversation but walking past a couple of young ladies coming out of accident and emergency. She grabbed the girl in a head lock and said don't you ever say I hit you again. But it was done in jest and she ruffled her hair and the other girl laughed. I thought it was bizarre.

I heard someone say as they were walking past to the person they were walking with : 'and they turned up at the funeral in a Lamborghini!' ! I would have loved to hear the rest of the story 😜

Nothing to contribute just shamelessly place marking 🍿

Ummmmm, if this was in Glasgow around about the year 2000, that might have been me you overheard ...

I was at a funeral once & while waiting for the coffin to arrive, there was a massive commotion in the Chapel lobby. We all tried to discretely earwig but eventually managed to get the details from someone sitting near the doors.

It turned out that the deceased's mistress & daughter arrived at the same time as his first wife. Cross words were had but all managed to be seated before the ACTUAL current wife turned up with the hearse. 😮😂so 3 women who were romantically connected to the deceased attended his funeral!

Maybe they were referring to the Bristol stool chart 🤣
