Five Things You Learned From Unintentional Eavesdropping

[reveal]

Oh ya, I just remembered something that is actually on-topic.

About 10 years ago, my future wife and I were out on a date having dinner in a resturant. I overheard the guy in the booth behind us talking to some woman about seeing Jurrasic Park in the theaters. He told her he couldn't be touched during the movie because, and I quote, "I don't watch movies; I experience them."

Hey did this guy just Hijack our hijack. I think he did.

Yup. I think he did....

I dunno if this woulda been better on the "nerds make better lovers thread" or not...

The last time a friend of mine (not the one I've mentioned earlier) "experienced" a movie, he had to hit the bathroom 3 times during Titanic!

Well going to swerve this off topic thread back on topic.......

At Denny's a friend and myself overheard some people talking about wrestling. We learned it's all fake EXCEPT for the title matches which are and I quote "Real as hell." The other 3 people sitting with the gentlemen all aggreed. They were all in there 30's. We laughed something fierce.

And here I thought they were gay.... I mean they GROPE one another!!! (and this is using the smiley as shocked as hell here... )

Especially if your friend is a nerd. I think giving multi orgasms might make you a better lover.

Or a geek. He's really into Star Wars. Moreso, I think, than Trek. Although he'll draw both, depending on the money... He's also a gamer as well.

heh

A friend of mine said about how he gave a gf he had multiple ones...

I didn't know that Viagra was meant to be used by women, just men. There is, I believe, a version just for women.

I have an ex g/f who it seems only had multiples.

I'm pretty sure these women were talking about the male Viagra....about how they "snuck" it from their husbands.

In college a couple of friends and I used to caravan back and forth to school. We bought radio headsets so we could talk from car to car. It took us a little while to figure out, but we finally realized that the headsets ran on the same frequency as some baby monitors. We used to hear kids crying from tiem to time as we drove. On one trip we heard mommy and daddy working at making a new baby.

I discovered that, as well, but with a baby monitor receiver. For some reason the transmitter was off or something in our apartment, and I was laying around reading or something, when all of a sudden I hear the most X-rated 'afternoon delight' session coming out of the receiver. Knowing that I was alone in the house, I went and looked and the baby's transmitter was off. Someone in the apartment complex had a nice afternoon of 'strange' (as I gathered from the conversation during and after). I made darn sure our transmitter was off when it wasn't in use after that.


Sounds kinda perverted in light of that story, but I looove listening in on people (not necessarily when they're engaged in those kinds of activities). I did some work with the FBI and used to spend long hours listening to hacker conversations. You get a great sense of dialogue for fiction writing from stuff like that, as well.

I don't generally listen to other conversations... not after a scrub my mind with bleach episode that happened several years back (I now know waaayyy more than I every really needed to about a certain bedroom position).

On the other hand, I think my friends and I might be the cause of someone else's list - last week, we were at a restaurant for about four hours total, mainly talking about great gaming memories and stories. After the first hour, we noticed that our little section of the restaurant was empty. No biggie, we just assumed that the day was slow. When I got up to use the restroom, I noticed the people on the other side of the partition wall from our table giving me funny looks. I pretty much ignored it, thinking it my imagination.

When we left, we noticed that the rest of the restaurant was packed. They had stopped seating people near us.

And no, they hadn't closed that section, because I saw a couple being seated there as I was standing in line to pay....

I've had some crazy gaming conversations in restaurants. I'm sure we got some looks but we never had them stop seating people around us. What did you talk about? beheadings? slavery? child prostitues?
or was it just loud?
