#Lawyer to prospective client: “Are you a… very religious person?”
Uh, I’m pretty sure you can’t ask that, dude 😆
Am I crazy? Like, it’s all privileged (if she signs him), but he can’t just ask anything, right??
Like, “How’s your sex life?” etc.
Idk it seemed wild to hear it 🤯

I love #eavesdropping.
I literally can’t help it, ofc, but it’s good that I find people interesting and my hypervigilance is so often amusing 🤓

Getting free #legaladvice over here, lol. #Lawyers suuuuuck 😫

Of all the conversations I regularly overhear while #eavesdropping, none stress me out more than legal meetings about shit like upcoming depositions.
A. Can you believe #lawyers do this at #Panera? 🤯
B. It’s always stressful, and I can’t help but both overhear, and (usually) sympathize.

Very lame behavior. I had to inch by with my backpack on, and both guys just stared at me as I ground myself against the propane like a worm trying to wriggle by 😆

Some dude (pictured) thinks this is just cool to do, parking his 12-ft-long TWO-PERSON RECUMBENT BIKE in the middle of the sidewalk outside QFC 😑
2 guesses what his career is.
His buddy just said to him, “Well, you’re the #architect!”
Of COURSE he is 🤦♀️

Omg, bless this poor woman’s heart. This mom in QFC, who’s the most normal, sweet-seeming person, somehow has 3 boys all seemingly between 10 and 14, and they’re all absolute fucking lunatics.
She just walks around all day putting out fires, both figuratively & literally, I’m sure 😆

They walked away arm-in-arm, like they were off to see the goddamned wizard, muttering to themselves about “those people,” and what savage animals we all are.
NONE OF US EVEN KNOW WHAT TF THEY’RE REFERRING TO 😵💫
It feels like we’re being Punk’d, if I’m honest.

A snooty, awful hetero couple in upscale, arguably matching, athleisure just took 2 steps into #Panera, & then both stopped dead, seemingly dumbstruck.
The man finally said, “Is this seating some kind of sick joke? Hello?!” and, dude, nobody knows wtf he’s talking about 😂

The loud sales guy #Panera regular who’s loudly bragged about wishing for his grandmother’s death is swapping “protein tips,” with one of his clients on the phone and IT IS INTOLERABLE.
They’re just one-upping each other. He looks like he’d know his protein, too, the meathead 😑

I am #eavesdropping on a Colombian couple with a slightly-older well-to-do woman, & a bohemian younger dude who is all over her like a clingy cat 😆
He did the Angela Merkel a min ago & tried to massage her shoulders & she Melania’d him, “It’s fine,” shrugging away
These 2 are cartoons 🤦♀️

The hand gesture is perfect, too. "Hey, listen, we're all reasonable people here, and you need to shut the fuck up." A real mood, for me.
"Hi, I couldn't help but overhear everything you're saying, and I need it to stop," from Aidy Bryant in this #SNL sketch is a real mood 😆
youtu.be/SIWSi1mQOik?...
I spend a significant portion of every day #eavesdropping, so I have this feeling often.

This guy is still here, & he only calls his father “Daddy,” on the phone.
Now, I try to keep an open mind, but remember, he’s not only actively rooting for his grandmother to die, he’s also openly telling people about it, and y’all, this Daddy shit sends CHILLS up & down my spine 😬

I just overheard someone say, to her mom, "It's nice to be out and about in #Bellevue. It feels like you're in the big city."
Idk, lady, we're pretty near a big city. I go into #Seattle all the time. I wonder where she's coming from that Bellevue feels so impressively urban 🤔

... some responsibility in planning a funeral. WILD stuff over here at Panera, y'all
JESUS CHRIST, he's pacing around now, and he's talking openly about a "Grandmother we're all, uh, waiting on her to give up the ghost." This guy is awful, and it's on full display today.

I'm #eavesdropping on another #Panera regular who has ostentatious, hyper-gregarious "sales calls" here all the time, but he's just answered one (usually they're outgoing, the prick), and the caller is in a panic, and this guy has called him, "Buddy" or "Bud" (I kid you not) 8-10 times in 2 mins 😵💫

I'm inadvertently #eavesdropping on this high-energy guy sitting w/ friends at #Panera (he's probably 15, 16), & he initially ironically said, "Are you proud of me?" to his friends, but no one laughed, so he doubled down, and now he's said it, like, 8 times, & at this point, it just sounds real 😬

I think they call this 'hypervigilance' or 'hyper-alacrity,' and I think it's from #PTSD (probably; I'm a bit high-strung, too, though).
I kind of can't turn the constant #eavesdropping off, which is why I overhear tons of stuff a normie might not even clock.
I can't help it, nor would I 🤓

I just overheard one lady giving another advice, and she was positively aghast: "That. Is. SO. Disrespectful," and I'm #eavesdropping as hard as I possibly can, but there are absolutely no audible indications as to what could have been so disrespectful.
Baffling. I have headphones on, btw.

I'd forgotten about this 1 🤣
I didn't tag this 1 #eavesdropping, which is def what I was doing. God, I watched the wheels turn in this guy's head, he made all the necessary calculations, & then just did the wrong thing he knew he shouldn't anyway.
It was a real eye-opening moment for me 😆

I’ve been #eavesdropping on a couple in their mid-twenties, trying to figure out if they’re romantic partners who hate each other or siblings who love each other, and the way the dude reacted when the sister (I’ve decided) spilled a drink on him sealed it for me 😆
Definitely #siblings 🤓

I’m #eavesdropping on the security system guys teaching McDonalds’ management how to use the keypad, and I never would bc I love the McD’s staff and don’t steal, but I’m getting the sense I could totally Ocean’s Eleven the joint now 😆
I’ve always imagined myself as more of a Rusty than a Danny 🧐

This guy is droning on about how interesting he is after seeing all the places in the 🌎 (Singapore, Tokyo, Hawaii, Phillippines), & this lady is NOT feeling him. AT ALL. She's barely giving halfhearted, perfunctory responses
He either can't tell or doesn't care. It's wild.

I spend a lot of my time #eavesdropping on dates, especially 1st dates (bc I'm in a #Panera, & that's evidently a #firstdate hotspot), and they are almost never going what I'd consider well.
Is #dating just this awful?! I say that bc I haven't dated that much, but Jesus, it's bad out here, y'all 😆

#Eavesdropping again at a communal smoking pit (I’ve got to quit smoking), and someone just defensively said, “Listen, that’s just my opinion!” but the opinion is that #Trump would be right to jail or execute Mark Kelly, so he deserves all the pushback he’s getting & more 😑
Surprising for the #PNW.

I just glanced at the #eavesdropping tag, and it’s *mostly* me 😅
I’m the plurality, if not outright majority, of posts on that tag, though my BlueSky search may prioritize my posts for my searches, not sure how exactly that works on here.
Do other people not eavesdrop like I do?? 🤔

I'm #eavesdropping on a couple about my age at #Panera, and this is one of the most loveless marriages I've ever spied on.
To cap off a brutally-unengaged conversation, the wife just coldy watched the dude cough/choke for, like, 45 full seconds & didn't say a fucking word 😬

I’m #eavesdropping at #Panera, and someone is patronizingly explaining to someone else what to do if they “get discouraged,” and I can’t quite tell if it’s an #MLM or #religion that they’re discussing, but it’s definitely a #scam of some kind 🤔

A table at #Panera full of old, white guys, 2 of whom are named Bill, asking a new guy if he’s called William or Bill 🤣
I have the most fun #eavesdropping, which is mostly why I do it, I think.

Just overheard a man boldly say, “We are fearlessly & wonderfully made!” & that’s not the quote 😆
I should stop hanging out in communal smoking areas, but also, I’d never smoke cigarettes around the #cats.
So I come here & overhear dumb shit 😑
Also, it’s crazy I still smoke.
