Im on the london tube every day, i hear the craziest conversations but I try and ignore them whenever i forget my mp3. I always here guys talking to there girlfriends on the phone and they are all sweet and cute with them and then they call one of their mates and bitch about their gfs lol

I know that I'm probably very nosy, but I love eavesdropping on juicy or bizarre conversations on the train to and from college.

There are three women who must work in the same place who always get on together at the same carriage as me, and they all have the really strong Northside Dublin accent and manner of speaking that make even their most mundane conversations hilarious and interesting.

For instance once they were talking about food and comparing the different brands of minced meat and even though it should have been the most boring conversation ever, I was splitting my sides listening to them.

Another time I remember a conversation between a two college kids about a guy on their course who was covered in tattoos with a really weird haircut and he was apparently a total psycho.... I also heard a really interesting debate about feminism between an American girl and a seemingly gay guy.

I know it's bad but I love eavesdropping!

Hip To The Beat, Mommie-O!

m y personal favourite is, i guess, a borderline racist game as it involves when you have you have your headphones and you try and guess where people are from just by looking at them and the way they act.
I have to say the amount of times i have recognised Americans on the tube in London is unbelievable, imaybe i have an 'american'dar...!

i do love listening into people's convos, especially if they're in another language, first i'll try and guess where they're from and if they're in french or hebrew i'll just listen!

i often start chatting to people on the tube! tis fun! i know it's the big taboo but it makes the journey into town so much more interesting!

Yeah, people do that on the bus on the way home from college. Worst part is it's usually guys from my college =/ The drivers tend to either not notice at all, or stop the bus completely and kick everyone off lol!

My war paint is Sharpie ink.

when you're not listening to music, which I do almost everytime I'm on public transport...you can still look at the peeps thouhg...which is just as funny...seriously there are some strange people around...and I can't wait to afford and have my own §$&%/§ car

i get the same bus every day, and even though 99.9999% of the time i have my ipod on me, there's still some blatantly weird people who get on this bus.

for instance, there's this old man who always gives me polos. i don't think he understands how ear phones work either, cos he consistantly tries to talk to me even though ive got wires hanging out my ears and i'm obviously in no way listening.

i haven't seen him in a few weeks actually. he better not have died or something :S

The local teenagers when I go to get my ice cream fix. I want to shoot them but smile and look away.

The conversations they have, I can't stand it!

When I am lucky, I go to the local bookstore (independently owned) and hear a sexy conversation about the life and styles of Mark Twain or what was Plato teaching. I want to join in sometimes but I might look like a crazy person.

"What!?! You are discussing Mark Twain!!!" *foams at mouth* lol

That and I get crazy when they dicuss anime or manga, I find myself joining in and have 10 minutes conversations with strangers about the wonders of anime, true story.

Get lost in my own little world and tune everyone out 

Blondes rules

and the rest of you girls

want to drool all over us! LOL

Plenty of people eavesdrop; that's why sites like www.overheardinnewyork.com were founded, lol.

Oddest conversation I ever heard was a girl justifying to this guy about how it's ok that she's cheating on her bf with him because he was cheating on her with this other girl, and the guy agreed saying that she (the girl who was previously talking) cheated on him plenty of times, and how he was cheating on his gf as they spoke.

 ...or at least I think that's how it went. All I really remember is that there was a helluva lot of cheating involved.

I'm trying to cut ppl out, the loud/boring ones being boring/loud on mobiles

S/times I'm guilty of it myself tho : / 

There isn't much for public transport where I live... but I listen to other peoples' conversations pretty much everywhere. I figure if they're having a conversation loud enough for me to hear while I'm minding my own business, then it's not really considered eavesdropping. ;)
