Love that this thread exists. A couple faves:
Mid-2000s, the mall, two 50/60something ladies: "I used to think Katie Holmes was a nice girl, but who knew she'd turn out to be such a nosebag."
A year-ish ago, the cafeteria at my university, two maintenance workers: "Yup, so many abortions that should've happened."
― Inside Lewellyn Sinclair (cryptosicko), Thursday, 9 January 2014 05:23 (ten years ago) link
Just caught my own typo (autocorrect?). "Nosebag" should read "hosebag." Though overhearing someone call Katie Holmes a "nosebag" would also be memorable.
― Inside Lewellyn Sinclair (cryptosicko), Thursday, 9 January 2014 21:50 (ten years ago) link
several times at work today I thought about a 50/60 something lady calling Katie Holmes a nosebag, I'm disappointed to find out it may never have happened.

There used to be and possibly still is a site called Overheard in Dublin.Unfortunately despite starting as a very laugh out loud selection it got progressively diluted by banal shite taht just happened to be overheard.It has put out a number of related books, I picked one up from a charity shop and it was a dozeathon. But I think the 1st one was good.
But yeah have heard a number of things that you wish you heard the context for over the years.

The person in front of me in the bus queue this evening was talking on their phone in a language that I don't speak. Except for one sentence in English: "Trust me, I hate every inch of this godforsaken place.". It took a lot of self control for me to not burst out laughing. Because England is a godforsaken place.
