Don't you hate it when people eavesdrop on your conversation?

And then go and ask you a question about it? MAN! I hate that. Today, for instance, I had to go to my school to get my school ID and while waiting in line, this girl was talking about something. Then this woman who is nosy as heck that works in the media center, asks the girl about whatever she was talking about, and I couldn't help but think, "Dude, mind your own business." It irks me. When people do that, especially if you don't know them, it's like they're trying to be buddy-buddy with ya. Lol. Do you ever encounter those situations?

All the time!! I work with the public, I'm a waitress. When I am talking with my friends at work, somtimes customers eavesdrop on us then ask us about whatever we were talking about. And it's not like we are standing around them. We are in our spot and they walk by and ask. How Rude!!!

Yeah, I know what you mean. You could be talking about how your cousin got a horse, and they'd ask you, "So, I heard you got a horse for your cousin." Lol. "What? Dude, I wasn't talking to you. This is an A and B conversation." :D

Maybe they want to get the facts straight before starting another horrible rumor!

I cannot agree with you! If the person is a student and talking on her "cell" in public, what can she expect? She cannot expect privacy. You cannot "tune out" the conversations that you are hearing! I know kids do it all the time, to their parents and teachers, but it is not proper to tune out like that. She should not answer her cellphone or wait until she is alone to make that call! Otherwise she has not right to complain. teenagers are way too secretive already! I hear all kinds of conversations in public, on the bus, or in the store, and it is so annoying! When I was a kid, the old folks would tell us that there is a time and a place for everything! Now do not even get me started on those teens who walk around "on" each other in public! Like dogs!
