Usually, when we're in a public setting, we keep our conversations, you know, public friendly. We can't have complete strangers hearing of our most embarrassing moments or our deepest darkest secrets, right?

Sometimes though, we just can't avoid it.

We might be with a group of friends and the conversation is just getting too good that the moment just sweeps through us and our secrets just slip out. It can also be that we might just think or feel that we're safe enough to share something meant for a private setting just because we're in a spot where nobody seems to be paying attention.

Some people even just don't care if anyone overhears what they're talking about because aren't other people just supposed to mind their own business?

The truth is though, there are always ears listening around us. People might look like they're just passing by but their ears are always open to snippets of noise and conversations around them and they might not even be conscious of it.

And yes, while people should mind their own business, when have they really? Plus, if you overhear a really hilarious conversation, how can you not share it, right?

That's exactly the purpose of the group "Overheard LA" which collects snippets of conversations that weren't exactly meant for others' ears. "Overheard London" is exactly the same but, of course, with a London twist.

So, grab yourself a cup of proper tea, maybe a few biscuits, and see what Londoners are buzzing about.

You can learn from it or share it as a blessing to others. Either way, these conversations have definitely made London a far more interesting place.
