The Topic Today... Eavesdropping!

Hate2Iron @Hate2Iron (15724) • Canada 21 Aug 17

It's one of those days... gray skies, chilly temps and it's drizzling. I'm sure that there has to be someone out there who likes days like this, but I'm not one of them. My to-do list has pretty much been taken care of, but now...

the age of entitlement

Elizabeth @Poppylicious (11134) • United Kingdom 26 May 17

I have just heard my first ridiculous one-sided conversation of the day. I say one-sided because I heard no response from whomsoever the lady was ranting to, and then no further words from her so she obviously wasn't on the...

He stacked up but what he said didn't

Nick R Thomas @asfarasiknow (3340) • Bournemouth, England 18 Jan 17

I love those wonderful snippets of conversion I sometimes overhear, little gems from people who may not always realise quite what they have just said. Yesterday I passed two young workers in a supermarket. They were talking about...

beauty in the littlest things

Elizabeth @Poppylicious (11134) • United Kingdom 14 Nov 16

I was honoured to witness something beautiful today. Not in a physical sense, but in a way that made Brexit and Trump, and all the ill-feelings in the world, seem ever-so distant and ridiculous. Four sixteen year old girls. Two...

when nonsense is spouted

Elizabeth @Poppylicious (11134) • United Kingdom 20 Oct 16

She said some things which are completely and utterly ridiculous. Don't you find that a tad irksome? I desperately wanted to jump into the conversation and say, [i]Oi, no! Depression can never be fixed by a good girly gossip or a...

I'm sure everyone of us have experienced being talked about by someone behind our back, aren't we, and it feels so bad especially if what they are talking is not true. I really hate eavesdropping. We have a neighbor before wherein...

As you know, we have a new(ish) roommate. I'm afraid that she is even MORE lacking in social skills than we previously believed. We have given her a shelf in one of the big fridges for her stuff, and she has a small fridge...

Marketers eavesdropping on social networks?

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 3 Jan 12

Marketers have been eavesdropping on members of social networks, to determine how to market to them. Do you think this is an invasion of privacy? I am very interested to hear both sides.

SomeCowgirl @SomeCowgirl (32189) • United States 1 Jul 11

Online or Offline. Of course online it's through another site that I participate it. I tell the people it irritates me and some just find it hilarious that it does. I feel like it's a matter of respect. Read what I say, sure, but...

One day I was having an argument with my boyfriend about how he was acting foolishly in a certain situation. I was so angry about it that I started telling him I want to break up with him, just so that he would understand how...

Do you enjoy EAVESDROPPING?

gambamarcela @gambamarcela (1011) • Philippines 27 Jan 10

I know we have no right in minding other people's business. But, eavesdropping is somewhat fun for me. When I am alone dining in a restaurant, I seem to eavesdrop in my neighboring table when the volume of their voices is highly...

I think we all happen to hear something, but do you know that you can benefit from eavesdroping one day. Once I read a book which account the ways of memory, and eavesdropping is related in this book, it is one of the ways of...

While eavesdropping is not an acceptable behavior, there are those who do this. Perhaps because what they hear is very interesting. But what if you overhear people talking about you? I mean unintentionally.. Will you listen? Will...

Invasion of privacy? Or just keeping us safe?

Rhapsody1851 @Rhapsody1851 (246) • United States 9 Apr 08

Today I came across a story on digg that concerned me. And made my blood burn a little. The FBI has raised it's budget from 30 million dollars in 2007 to 40 million dollars for 2008, for their "tracking system". The headline for...

I went to get a pizza yesterday with my oldest son. I had ordered it by cell phone right before I went shopping. I had finished sooner than expected and my son and I walked over to pick up the pizza. As it wasn't ready yet we sat...
