What’s the craziest conversation you’ve overheard?

By @SammyJo
Top | New | Old
There was the woman on the train to Cardiff who talked loudly into her phone who regaled us with the tales of her three tradesmen employees all called Steve.She was apparently talking to Steve number one who was going to fumigate her house after the renters left it infested with fleas.
When she eventually shut up a collective sigh of relief went up!
Hugely entertaining though.

I heard a guy on a train a few years ago debating with the person in the seat with him that Diabetes is NOT REAL

Not a crazy conversation,but oddly memorable after nearly 60 years.I was sitting on a bus behind two women,one about my age at the time,the other considerably older,who were both co-workers;The younger woman,apparently a new employee,asked the other what she thought of another co-worker - the older woman replied "Be careful,5 minutes alone with her,and she'll try and tell you that she's descended from a Babylonian princess!"

Just a single sentence, by one teenaged girl to another:

"It's all Daniels' fault. He got me pregnant".

All his fault? Wasn't she there at the time?


Another candidate might be a young woman whose language I guessed Italian, perhaps Spanish, sitting on a bench about ten yards from mine one afternoon at Bristol Temple Meads railway station: a busy hence noisy place.

She was sitting upright with her 'phone on her lap, its speaker probably turned fully up, excitedly chattering away. The poor woman at the other end could barely get a word in edgeways; but I doubt she heard anything clearly because the girl was not even looking at the 'phone. Instead she was facing directly ahead, towards the opposite platform where a diesel multiple-unit train was idling very noisily.
I think it has to be “Which is harder, a diamond drill bit or a hog’s tooth?”

What saved it from being a brawl was that they were both too drunk to stand up.
I sat on the side of the road waiting for my husband to get off the light rail and watched a man, homeless looking, having an imaginary fight. He's just across the road from me but near where you walk up to get onto the light rail walkway. Screaming and yelling at no one. Throwing punches, cussing the invisible attacker out. lifting them, throwing them, just going on and on. An oblivious little old lady, who looks distressed so shes likely lost, walks up to him and asks him for directions. He completely stops, puts his hands in his pockets, looks at her leaflet which I assume was train related. points at it, explains. writes something down for her. she goes on her way, thanking him. He tells her you're welcome and he immediately starts back into his imaginary, very violent, fight with no one.


Oh, and two women who met in a coffee shop. One is having coffee and the other comes in, stands by her and points out excitedly that she's wearing earrings. Sits down and the other responds just excitedly that she's wearing earrings too. They discuss where they parked. And then stop talking, sitting together in silence drinking their drinks.
@nonsensiclesnail I was thoroughly entertained reading this.

This was around the time COVID had started being a thing. Somebody said it wasn't real because Ozzy ate a bat and didn't get it.
