Years ago, on the bus, I saw a teenaged girl hand her friend a baggie of Saltines and slices of cheddar. The friend ate the snack in silence, then said, "Yeah, it's weird. My father doesn't believe in the power of cheese."

I don't know that it exactly counts as overheard but one night, when my daughter was about 10 years old, I tiptoed into her bedroom while she was asleep to put some laundry away. She suddenly sat up in bed, stared at me with wide-open eyes, and hissed, "The pigs don't think it's funny on the moon." Then she lay back down as though nothing had happened.

I was in line at the 99 Cent Only Store. The guy in front of me noticed they had pregnancy tests. He asks his girlfriend, "Say, love, do you want one of the 99 cent store pregnancy tests." She replied, "Well, love, I might need one if you're buying those 99 cent store condoms." (They actually called each other "love," even though I live in the US where nobody does that.)

I’m sure everyone knows those “demonic whispers,” tracks they play in probably every horror movie, right? I was watching a foreign horror movie, and the whisper track came on. I thought I heard something strange, so I rewound it ans sure enough, one of the whispering “demons” clearly (but whispering), “Monkey’s uncle.”

Visiting a National Trust house - wandering around the rooms - there’s a little girl with her parents and in every room she asked “did somebody die in here?” 😂. The last comment I heard was from her mum who said to her “ You’re obsessed. No one died here!” 😂

I walked by the living room as my dad was watching a baseball game. He kept muttering, "We're not having cheetos tomorrow. We're not having cheetos tomorrow!"
I don't know why he was acting so strange, but he was right--we did not eat any cheetos the next day.

Overheard a friend say "my brother ate the stick out of the fun dip and asked me what to do with the leftover powder. I told him to snort it. Pretty much spent the rest of the day saying 'It burnss'" I choked on my pizza when I heard it.

At the fish stand at the weekly market, there was a man with two blond children on a bicycle. A girl about 4 years old and a boy about 2 years old. Suddenly the father says to the salesman: "Actually, the two are twins, one was just longer in the freezer."

Standing in a queue behind 2 elderly women, I heard one say to the other, about someone they obviously both knew, "I didn't realise she was as old as that" to which the other replied "oh, I did, I've seen how far her socks come up"
