Strangest conversation / sentence you have overheard

[Parry5timesbeforedeath]

Mine was this week on the bus. Man talking on the phone said emphatically; 'Seagulls don't urinate, Stephen'.

Mind boggles.

When we were on holiday once, DH and I were sat out early one morning and a couple walked past (they didn't see us) and she said to him "I just don't feel comfortable having sex with your mother in the next room!" 😆

In the supermarket, woman with c8 year old daughter said 'For the last time, you have never been trapped alone in a locked speeding car. Stop telling everyone you have'

I couldn't help laughing and the woman shared a very pained look.

My face smells like donkey

Man on street with dog doesn't pick up dog poo, just walks on.
Woman on street: aren't you going to pick that up?
Man: I only have one hand.
Woman: if you can't pick it up, you shouldn't let him do it on the street!
Man: where should I let him do it?
Woman: on the toilet, like everyone else!

At a country fair, walking from the car park behind a couple and their children.
The woman said, “oh, I knew I'd regret not bringing t'ferret.”

A man on his phone in the local corner shop “remember your words are spells. When you speak, you are casting a spell”

Years ago we walked into a pub just as the Juke Box finished whatever it had been playing and in the sudden silence this chap said loudly 'And I said to him, that's a strange expression for a Buddhist.'
We still reference it now and it must have been the best part of 40 years ago!

When I was pregnant with my first, I heard a woman saying to her toddler "No, they aren't swimming carrots, they're goldfish" I discovered later how that summed up parenting.

Another man shouting in the street at midnight:
'All I want is my sleeping bag and my moccasins!'

Two rough looking men approached on a remote Turkish clifftop path on the Lycian Way, told me they had covered dozens of miles from x starting point earlier that morning.

So much distance in so few hours?
Smiling they replied “hijacking” 😧
(Hitchhiking was the word they intended)

Many years ago a friend reported passing two people he didn't recognise just as one said to the other:
'No, no that was definitely Veronica Beccabunga!' [my IRL maiden name was really very unusual, so they must've meant me]
I've been intrigued for most of my born days.

He’s not wrong tho.
say something mean to someone and it can effect them for a long time. Give someone a compliment and it’s the same

I have a few. I often keep note of weird or randomly gross ones. 🙈 It's usually when I'm in a pub as I always seem to overhear people when I'm sitting alone while DH goes for a smoke or goes to the bar.

One guy in a pub telling someone all about the new sunglasses he had bought and how they were the most expensive thing he had ever bought for his face. He then said they were nothing more than "cum shields".

Another time in Wetherspoons when I was in for dinner there was a guy late to meet his friends so he was explaining why he was late. He'd apparently taken a shit in someone's house, the first time he had ever done that in a bathroom that wasn't his own apparently. But it wouldn't flush. So he had to flush and flush and then he tried using a brush and some bleach to at least stop the smell. This story honestly went on for ages and all he had to say was "sorry I'm late" really, I was just glad I wasn't actually eating at the time.

Last one was a guy saying he couldn't do handstands. But then added that he can't do them with clothes on so a table full of older women nearby started chanting "Off! Off! Off!"
