What are some conversations you've overheard that you will never forget?

[Gargoyle]

I'm sure we've all heard one or two conversations that still live rent-free in your head and refuse to leave. It might be something that has impacted you in some way or it might just be something silly. Anyways, do you have some convos that have stuck with you through the years?

Spoiler: My answer

I went to a middle school in a really shitty part of the city and as a result there were a lot of fucked people. The convo that I can't forget happened between four of the 'popular girls' from my class in a locker room when we were changing into sports clothes before PE class. I don't remember any direct quotes but some of the highlights are:
1. One girl has admitted to "dating" and fucking a 28 year old guy in exchange for gifts, alcohol and cigarettes.
2. Some other girl said that she was concerned about her boyfriend not loving her to which the aforementioned girl chastised her and said that he didn't love her because she didn't want to fuck him.
3. They all discussed them having regular parties at some drug dealer guy's apartment and a plan of how they are going to set the next party logistically so that their parents won't notice they're gone.

If you are wondering why it has stuck with me, it's because - one - we were all 13 years old at that time and - two - my mum is relatively conservative and obviously I was following her example so this unapologetic bragging about being junkies and whores shocked me. Now, you might say that they were just talking outta their asses but, believe me, I also went to the same primary school with all those girls and I spent three years with them in middle school and I am 100% confident that this was something they were actually doing.

Some bitch in hyschool talking about pubic hair and herpes when I was trying to eat a chicken sandwich and then giving me a glare when I got weirded out.

I have two.

The first is I was in the bathroom stall at a sports bar and these two bros walked in and hit up the urinals. One commented that he almost touched his buddy with his dick and the other guy threatened to do the same were that to happen, and then they just went back and forth like that for half a minute.

The second was I was in a bathroom stall at the office and this guy on his cell phone takes the stall next to me and starts blowing it up mid-business call, even raising his voice to compensate for the farts.

Those are the two most hilarious shits I’ve ever taken.

not really anything special, but it was so hard to not laugh hearing things along the lines of "that nigga king crimson is crazy"

I heard someone bust into a bathroom stall while yelling little pig little let me in. Not a conversation but something I think about sometimes

In highschool, as I was approaching gymnasium seating, I overheard one of my friends talking about how his dick always leans to the left slightly.

In high school I overheard this guy asking his friend in a voice that sounded like he was about to cry if he was a bad person for jacking off to Lola Bunny.

Again in high school my family had neighbors with two kids. One of the kids seemed kind of…special. My brother and I used to refer to him as Ralph Wiggum to each other. We were out in the backyard one day and the neighbor’s kids were in their yard playing. Out of nowhere Ralph yells to his sister at the top of his lungs “I wish I were a strawberry!” Just cracked my brother and I up and it became a joke for awhile

Me and my brother were sleeping in the same room, I was about 15 I think and he was in his late 20s, it was the dead the night and he was talking on the phone with his fiancée I wasn't trying to listen in but I couldn't sleep, that when I heard them fucking phone sexing, he was saying shit like "I can't wait to feel my body on your" or some shit like that while I desperately tried to not make any noise.
It was extremely awkward and weird.

Anyway he left that bitch because she was a slut trying to use him and met my sister in law who is great.

One time I got into a big fight with my parents after I got caught drinking and punching one of the neighbors kids. They were super mad and said they were going to go discuss my punishment in their bedroom. I went up to the door and eavesdropped:

"Shit like this is why we should have kept doing anal. At least your little shit didn't almost get us sued"

One time I heared a couple of girls in my job talking about attack on titan while on the coffee room, and it was so dumb, they even talked about how they watched, they don't know if they liked it or not, the characters, like pretty chill chat... Until one of them said: "Is not like hentai though, that I like" and I was like "wtf did I just heard?"

I still think about that from time to time.

I just heard one today. I was pawing through the coins at an out-of-town silver and gold shop, when a 50-something guy walked in with a ring and asked the shopowner if he would let him trade in the diamonds as well as the gold. He said he just got the ring from his girlfriend, and it was her ex-husband's ring. The guy running the shop told him he didn't do diamonds, and then pulled another ring out from under his counter and said "This one was my ex-wife's." The other guy just left after that. It was a tiny shop too so I was standing like 2 feet away from them picking through the loose coins like an autist the whole time.

Jesus Christ, they probably should've done anal. If they knew they would give birth to a son who would later turn-out to be a fucking drunkard who goes around punching random kids in the face

I know one person who has a BPh and he is exactly the fucking same. Lives with their parents, fucks around with finding a job, generally unbearable to be around as he spews shitty platitudes every minute. I swear, this motherfucker unironically thinks he's Diogenes going around doing some groundbreaking and deep shit and people are going to clap and cry whenever he speaks. Though he conveniently ignores the fact that Diogenes spit on material possessions and slept on the streets.

@Gargoyle re: your first post, I heard a conversation very similar while I was at high school too. I was listening to some older girls- I'm guessing they were fourteen or fifteen- discussing their twenty five year old boyfriends. I'm absolutely appalling with faces, but even back then I was struck by the blankness in the eyes of one of the girls when she said, "They are perverts... but they give you a lot of stuff." And then jammed a cigarette in her mouth.

A bit off the rails, one would say.

Interesting how so many black people like anime.

When a major television network broadcasts cartoons and anime at night, yes a lot of kids are going to watch the anime shows. Most of the anime popular with westerners were shown during Toonami.

When I was 14 I overheard my classmate tell another girl that her mom let her move in with her boyfriend, also 14. It still blows my mind that both her and his parents were ok with it.

The funniest thing I ever heard was at work, this old man cursing my colleague out during a procedure. He had dementia and called him a faggot cocksucker son of a bitch and threatened to beat his ass and fuck his wife. My colleague as an egomaniac asshole, which made it even harder to not laugh.

There's now a large (and loud) cohort of black people who've gotten into anime as adults.
