Stop spying on people!

Have you ever overheard a conversation you weren’t supposed to? What was it about?

I'm sure all the overheard conversations were meant to be overheard. Do you think I fell for that old tick? Pah.

Re: Stop spying on people!

I overheard a conversation on a train. Woman on a mobile phone loudly saying "No, its got to go up, UP, I'm telling you!! Tell them to add another thousand then we can start talking" She looked around herself in a "lookit me, I'm smug and special" kind of way. I stared at her, about to say something - and her phone went off ringing like anything! The whole thing was made up!! She stumbled about trying to stop the phone and looking quite embarrassed. Serves her right.

Yes, a long long time ago when fresh into a newly promoted job at work. I overheard a conversation between supervisor and manager relating to a friend in the department I used to work in. The outcome of this overheard conversation nearly lost me my job and the friendship I had with my friend due to the action my friend took based upon the overheard conversation.

Once bitten, twice shy the saying goes. I've never done the same again, regardless of what I've overheard.

Re: Stop spying on people!

I hate hearing peoples loud conversations .
Blooming mobile phones on trains is a major bear bug .
I just want to scream at them to shut up .

I've heard loads of private conversations but I'm not telling anyone the things I've heard.... My lips are sealed...
