To listen in on conversations when I'm sitting on my balcony?

[scentednappyhag]

I live quite near to a pub, and hear some corkers when people are walking past on their way home
Just now, bloke to (I'm assuming) his girlfriend, 'But babe, I'll make you a lovely dinner. Toad in the hole, rice, chicken and beans. It was just a snog, it was nuffink, honest.'
wetting myself

Sounds better than most tv programmes. Enjoy!

All at the same time?!?!

I was sitting in the park with DD on saturday and we heard a Grandmother say to her little Grandaughter ,who was shovelling an ice cream down her throat," I remember the day you were born and i could hold you in one hand" aahh My DD and i looked at each other and smiled and i felt myself welling up it was so sweet.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww CRYPES

Dammit

The worst thing is when you are sitting opposite people on the bus or train

And they say something like that

And you are dying to laugh but don't want them to know you were listening

So you end up either failing and flat out laughing or have to sit there smirking/ trying desperately to suppress your giggles.

YANBU. That's what balconies are invented for!

YANBU - what better way to spend all day an hour or so on a sunny afternoon listening into others conversations.

YANBU other people are the best entertainment and then you can come on here and entertain us too.

Phew, I was worried I might BU
A few weeks ago, I heard a boy of probably around 17 say to his friend 'so I wiped it on his thigh and said, ha, you've got poo on you now too!'...
DH and I were in stitches trying to work that one out
Crypes- that's lovely! Clearly we live in very different areas!

yanbu, i do deliberately listen in too at times

You are most certainly not BU. I spent most of this afternoon 'eavesdropping' on a neighbour with open windows and a voice like a foghorn.

He's a barman, I discovered, and it's very very very stressful when the chefs refuse to give him fruit for the bar. They won't compromise; they just tell him to fuck off. It's embarrassing for him, and embarrassing for the bar, when there's no fruit (he obviously likes this phrase as I heard it lots).

The final straw came when Chef made Lucy cry over the witheld fruit. Neighbour is not happy about that. Neighbour comforted Lucy (he's obviously quite keen on Lucy) and is now making a formal complaint.

After over two hours of this, Neighbour made a second phone call and asked someone out for dinner (with a thirty-five minute discussion about whether to sit 'inside' or 'outside'). I hope it was Lucy and I hope she said yes.

I do sometimes worry about people that may listen in on my sister and I though. We were having quite an animated discussion yesterday about my two bums while wandering around Sainsburys. It didn't occur to us how odd it sounded until we reached the car

Mobile phones are great for public laughter! Just stare at the screen and giggle away.

Toad in the hole, rice, chicken and beans... Mmm meal fit for forgiveness.

Yanbu! Some conversations are hilarious. You're no bother to them. Have a drink for me and enjoy!

two bums?

My all time favourite (and I have shared it before, but for those who missed it) -
when I was working in a cafe a couple of years ago and eavesdropping on a couple of old ladies sitting with their cuppas. One flicking through her phone showing photos to the other -
'Here's Jake's christening
That's Kay's new caravan (etc etc blah blah)
(then) - ' Here's one of all the fat that our Julie had sucked out of her'

( I had to run to the back room to chortle loudly)

It's how I discovered that 'a right pair' translates directly into German - some people walking past me in Hamburg discussing 'ein rechtes Paar'.

I was taking the rubbish out earlier and I heard a bloke shouting down his phone....

"John, are you coming up my arse or what?"

"Look, just come up my arse and your wife can come too"

I nearly fainted til I realised "arse" was actually 'house' and he just had a strange accent

Worra that's how my stepfather speaks, I've had exactly the same misunderstanding!

I must say it made the mind boggle McFluffster...especially the invite for his wife to come up there too

Lolajane- I have a really deep dimple at the top of my crack bottom, and my mum thought I had two bums when I was tiny and called the health visitor out it's still a source of great mirth among our family!

ha ha WORRALIBERTY....You are very funny. Can i merry you? Your replies on most threads are soooo funny. They always make me laugh a lot...Thank you for that.....

You're welcome...but I'm merry enough already tonight Eagles
