In a coffee shop...do you eavesdrop? If you're in a busy coffee shop and a person is talking loudly, do you tend to eavesdrop? What type of conversations have you heard? Any funny or horrendous stuff?

LOL... I must say yes to this, but if they want to talk loud enough for everyone to hear them, why not. I cant remember anything specific, just the usual gossip about another person.

I abolutely eavesdrop. I love to people watch, and I am very nosy. Usually, I just hear things about people I don't know. Once I heard a very racy description of a date, lol! I've also heard lots of mean gossip (again, about people I do not know). Many times I hear people complain about the rude staff at the coffee shop. The place is literally down the street from me (two houses away) and the staff is so incredibly rude. They look you up and down when you order, and will "correct" you if you say small, medium or large (they have their own lingo for everything). They will also tell you to hang on to finish a phone call (if they don't know you). The funny thing is most people don't actually complain to the manager, they just say they are going to complain and then they leave.
