Anyone who knows me knows I love to people watch and along with that comes what I call people listening. However, most people know "people listening" as eavesdropping and it is most commonly frowned upon in our society. In my opinion, you shouldn't have a conversation in public without expecting other people to listen in. I won't judge you if you listen to what I'm saying, you might judge me when you are done hearing it, but I won't judge you for listening. People listening is one of my favorite past times. I've heard people breaking up with each other, I've heard awkward stories about pregnant spouses, today I heard a girl call her boyfriend fat in a not so subtle way (she thought it was pretty subtle, I'm sure). Storytime? The conversation went like this:
Girl: So, I think you should take a P.E. class.
Guy: Really? Like badminton or dancing?
Girl: I was thinking something more active...
Guy: Woah! Okay...ya...I see where this is going...thanks a lot.
Girl: No, no, no! I just meant maybe it would be fun...we could do it together...?
I had to try not to laugh. People tend to not like it when you listen to their conversations, they like it even less when you start laughing at them. But it was really funny!
