How big are your ears?

Question

No, not literally the size... lol, I mean have you ever overheard things that maybe you shouldn't?

OK, it's confession time. When I was like a teenager and cell phones were analog, (this no longer works with today's digital phones) this guy friend of mine, who also lived in my same neighborhood, had a scanner that could pick up cell, and wireless, phone conversations nearby.

Well, he knew that I liked this hot guy who lived directly across the street from him and one day told me about picking up on cell phone calls that he was making. I could not believe some of the things he was overhearing!

I think the guy would probably pass out if he knew, what I now was being told what he was saying to different girls he was talking to, and even more to some of his guy friends about his sexual, and other, escapades.

OK, so I did tell him he should not be listening into others conversations and that it was illegal, but why is it that I couldn't plug my ears when he was telling me all this stuff that he was saying to, and about, other girls, some I even knew... I just couldn't help myself... I know I shouldn't have done it, and resisted and told him to stop it and I didn't want hear anymore, but can anyone else understand how hard it is to not want to hear more?

I mean some of it would leave me with my eyes wide and mouth open!

Like he was calling different girls and making them think he liked them and then he would call the next one, or get a call from them calling him... OMG!

I know I shouldn't have listened to what he was telling me, but I am just human too you know... sorry.

You can be honest Anonymously if you like so that you don't get roasted like I'm going to for telling the truth, but have you ever overheard things that you shouldn't have? ... be Honest! ... we all want to hear! ... lol

The thing is people love to gossip , whether they overheard someone or they caught someone in the act , and if it is something that is a shock to you of course you want to hear it especially if it is making your mouth drop , but the thing is people with gossip usually over exaggerate something more then what is actually is. Cuz they caught your attention and they like seeing how shocked you are so they are loving the fact that you are amazed so they add to the story then what it really is. So it’s ok to hear gossip about someone., but to spread that gossip to others is where it gets bad , it’s best the keep it to yourself , whether that guy is calling girl after girl , playing them or what, that’s his life and that’s something he will have to deal with on his own cuz it will eventually kick him in the ass but it’s safer for you to stay out of it , cuz it can come and kick u in the ass , by him flirting with other girls isn’t hurting anyone , he is only hurting himself. I knew a guy that use to be a regular at 1 of the bars I use to go to , a lot of girls thought he was hot and always talked about him. The one night he was there he hooked up with 1 of the girl bartenders and she went home with him to have sex , the next night all the girls wanted to know how the night went and the girl bartender said the night was going great until she got his pants down and saw that his penis was barely the size of her pinky finger , everyone was shocked and were making jokes that he was little , long story short all the gossip that she was spreading about him got back to him , He waited for her one night after she was done work and beat the living shot out of her. Almost killed her , then he went home and committed suicide. So it’s best to keep gossip to yourself

For the last 20 years or so, I've worked in other people's houses for a living. I installed satellite TV systems for about 8 years, and now I do Audio/Video. Since I've done AV, I've not had this happen nearly as often, but doing satellite TV, we would do 3 or 4 installs a day sometimes, and across the entire economic spectrum, from dangerous public housing in the most dangerous towns all the way up to mansions in the nicest areas.

And quite often, once we figured out what we needed to do to get these systems installed, we'd be more-or-less left alone and ignored as we went about our work, and people would talk freely as if we weren't there - especially among the lower-income areas, and the stuff we would hear sometimes would make Jerry Springer and Maury blush.

I overheard drug deals and what were obviously theft/robbery plans, prescription medicine fraud, disability fraud, ways to scam people out of money (sometimes their own relatives), moms telling young teen daughters to get pregnant so she could have her own place, moms literally pimping out their teen daughters, and lots more. I've heard people talking to each other in such filthy and venomous ways that it was painful and uncomfortable to be around, etc. We would do our best to ignore this stuff, get our job done as quickly as possible, and get out of there, but when people are talking out loud in the same room as if you are furniture, it's pretty hard not to hear it.

Ok, so I was 12, in bed because it was a school night. My mom and oldest sister who was 18 at the time were discussing sexual things no 12 year wants to hear about their sister much less their "mother"😱 When it came to cucumber talk, I'd heard more than enough and finally said "You know I'm still awake right and can hear everything you're saying and I have a test tomorrow so when I fail it don't blame me because you're traumatizing me. To this day if someone serves me a salad with cucumbers in it I run from the room screaming lol jk I like cucumbers, I just don't "love" them as much as my sister and mom "apparently " did. 😲😂

I've been there. When phones were still unprotected by passwords and fingerprints scans, I say my dad's phone. That's how I found out he had a mistress

ZackBan · Answer

I won't even go anonymous in admitting that I know just about everyone's dirty little secrets. I have good hearing and sometimes hear people talk or listen in on phone calls even peaking a look at a texting convo if someone doesn't notice me.
And to top all that off I just happen to be the kind of person that people confide in easily.
Growing up all kinds of people made me swear silence and told me all their secrets.
I don't see anything wrong with it since I never use info like that to hurt anyone.

I could not resist :) and some mutton chops :) it's super funny, from my room I can heard my roommate on the phone all time paper thin... That's why I run a fan in my room as white noise. But I have heard conservations at times and sometimes I bud in. Onetime someone was saying that a local hospital was sending patients to other hospitals because they did not have room and I was interested to see if I heard that correctly and she confirmed it for me.

The phone company crossed wires with another house near mine. I could hear all of their conversations. I tried to tell the homeowner the issue, but they couldn't hear me. I listened long enough to figure out who it was and walked down to their house to let them know.
I didn't try to resolve it with the phone company because I didn't trust them.

I have really small - so called cute - ears!

holidaze · Answer

I wish I had a great story to add, as it’s a great topic, but I got nothing.

I was going to make a (hopefully) funny comment about my ears being small and cold and that they could easily be covered by say, ... your thighs, but I didn’t want to go that direction. 😛

oops! 😂

Gedaria · Answer

Yes, many times on the bus. I need to wear hearing aids. I use to wear them all the time , but some of the things you pick up, what people chat. Porn is putting it mildly. I got so fed up with it , I take them out and put my ear plugs.
Just as bad at home, somethings I over heard the girls talking about I don't want to know I'm not upset by it I just don't want to hear from my daughters...

Sometimes things just happen to be heard. Whether by accident or not. I know I've "accidentally" heard things not meant for my ears before
