For example, you overheard a friend and co-worker about to be fired. It's not your place to tell them. Maybe you didn't hear it all. Or should you give them a head's up. Or maybe you hear their boyfriend on the phone with what you think is another girl? Or what if you were with your friend was preggers but noone else knew? What would you do?

well, unfortunately, yes I have. and unfortunately, it was me whom they talked about. they were in the public toilet at that time, never realized that I was there. and the person whom I ever trusted, was the one who started the talk. somehow I felt uneasy towards the person from that moment on. I still greeted her, but no longer considered her as a true friend. yeah, quite a traumatic experience.

I once overheard another woman talking in the restroom and it was about me. She said something not very nice and it was racial. I was really upset about it. She barely knew me and made a horrible comment like that. After that I wanted nothing to do with her at all. I acted professional with her as best I could, but that comment lingered in the back of my mind.

Yea, I did. I picked up the phone at work when it rang one day, and a co-workers apparently picked ut up at the same time. It was another co-worker calling, and they were talking about me!!!! Believe me, I let them know I had accidently overheard them.
