Overheard

August 10th, 2006

If you ever take the ear buds out of your ears, you can really enjoy some of the ridiculous things people say. However, if you would rather stay in your isolation of sound and have someone else filter the madness, then the Overheard… websites are for you.

I have been addicted to these sites for over a month. Who knows if all of this is true, but I operate under the philosophy that truth is stranger than fiction, so who cares?

Overheard in the Office, Overheard in New York and the newly added Overheard at the Beach are three websites where people submit their eavesdroppings.

Here is an excerpt:

Can You Hear Wednesday One-Liners Now?
Metro-North conductor: If you have been on your cell phone more than 5 minutes, you are not only annoying all of the passengers around you, but have also probably started to annoy the person on the other end of the call, so hang up.

There are millions of these gems on all of these themed websites that will keep you coming back again and again.
