40+ Incredibly Funny Conversations Overheard In LA
Since we were children, we’ve been told that listening in on certain people’s conversations is bad. It’s annoying. However, there are times when we don’t feel as if we have a choice. There are a few conversations that, no matter how ridiculous or incredibly funny they are, we simply cannot ignore, whether they occur in the supermarket, a cafe, on the bus, or even on the sidewalk. While some people wanted to keep their wonderful moments of humanity to themselves, others realized they were too good to keep to themselves, and Overheard LA was born. From jaw-dropping phone conversations to perplexing questions, this account clearly shows that the people of LA do have pretty hilarious things to say. Scroll down to hear all of the conversations that are only heard in Los Angeles.
No Talking
Many of us find it difficult to sit at tables with strangers. You never know if somebody is a chatterer, and you’d be forced to either sit through idle chit-chat or think of a nice way to say, “No talking, please.” In any case, we’d all like to be as forthright as this guy.
No Talking
He is entirely correct. The agreement only covered sitting as well as sharing space. It didn’t even require any communication or interaction. That is a concept that some people must grasp. Sorry, but just because we share a space with you doesn’t mean we have to do more.
Choosing An Avocado
This conversational snippet doesn’t get any more LA than this. This guy and his brother clearly have very different goals in the grocery store than the majority of us. We had no idea how important picking avocados at the supermarket was as a first experience.
Choosing An Avocado
But, really, what is it about avocados that makes you want to eat them? Is there some sort of golden egg that we’re not aware of? When they were chosen, why was there such a big deal? It’s not as if a single flaw renders it inedible. Perhaps we don’t place the same value on avocados as Los Angeles residents do.
It Makes Sense
Despite the fact that children lack the worldly knowledge of adults, they can say things that are so evident that it hurts. While the kid may not be speaking accurately in this case, they do have a strong case indeed.
It Makes Sense
They are completely right in their assumption that just because someone is an adult does not imply that they can be trusted. It’s even extremely risky to trust older people than other children unless you’re in a horror movie. In that case, anyone could be a killer, whether a child or an adult, so it’s best not to trust anyone.
The Anti-Maskers
It can be tiring to argue with anti-maskers about what they can and should do, but some people rise to the occasion, and some even do so in style. Take a look at this courageous DMV employee.
The Anti Maskers
Whoever it was who said this deserves a lot of credit for putting Karens around the world in their place in such a powerful and persuasive way. Thank you for your service, and thank you for doing what you could to help those Karens get the justice they deserved.
Silly Names
In situations where we are unable to recall the name of something, we improvise. We felt the need to act it out or come up with a different set of words to describe it, and it turned out to be something amusing in the process. The sad truth is that there are times when forgetting the name of something will not make the situation any better.
Silly Names
We really had no clue who this guy’s date is, but the phrase “waddly cold bird” had us rolling in the aisles laughing. That is, without a doubt, our favorite of all the penguin names that have been given to them. If his date didn’t get the joke, he should have known better than to start dating her in the first place. You’re a waddly cold bird, you’re a waddly cold bird!
Just Being Honest
As friends, it is our moral obligation to see that our friends find a wonderful person who will value them and accept them for who and what they are as individuals. Unfortunately, when someone is too deeply in love, even friendship can fall on deaf ears, and we are forced to shut up and suffocate until we are given the opportunity to express our frustrations openly.
Just Being Honest
Unfortunately, this individual has spoken too soon in his or her life. They got the truth out of their system, even if it was uncomfortable, I suppose? However, it is not yet clear whether or not a wedding invitation will be sent out following that date. That was to be expected, after all.
Calm Down, Dad
We have nothing against people who attempt to live their lives through the medium of Instagram because, well, that is how they choose to live their lives. In contrast to this father’s own daughter, this father is speaking the truth in a way that some people may find necessary to hear. Just the facts, nothing more.
Calm Down, Dad
This daughter has a responsibility to pay attention to her father. Despite their best efforts, not everyone can pull off the Instagram “fake it until you make it” maneuver. Furthermore, what is the point of having a good time on social media if you are not having a good time in real life? What exactly is the point of this?
It’s Not For Everyone
At the moment, it appears that there is a plant for every taste. There have been plants created for people who prefer to stay at home, for people who are constantly on the move, and even for people who are completely clueless when it comes to plant care. Regardless, not everyone is suited to the task of caring for flowers and other plants.
It’s Not For Everyone
Some people believe that our mood has an impact on plants, which is in accordance with the fact that plants have been shown to be excellent mood enhancers. When it comes to this situation, it appears that neither the plant nor the plant parent are helping each other. What about a fish?
Staying At Home
The pandemic is terrible, and we despise the fact that it prevents us from doing most of the things we enjoy and seeing all of the people we care about on a regular basis. However, some people have reported that spending all of this time at home has been beneficial to them.
Staying At Home
Even though we don’t want the disease outbreak to continue, the possibility of returning to society as it was after more than a year of a brief break can be unbearable for some people. Please, let’s get back to business as usual without all of the usual society nonsense.
Totally Different Generation
Our surprise was compounded by the fact that there is an entire generation of young people who will never know food in its true form. They are the generation that has grown up on quinoa, vegan meat, plant milk, and a variety of other foods and beverages.
Totally Different Generation
To be completely honest, it’s a little terrifying. Assume you are in your 50s and you are conversing with someone in their 20s, only to discover that they have never had a taste of real meat or dairy and actually think that everything comes from plants—it is a mess in our minds.
Paid Tickets
Isn’t this a scene that we’re all familiar with? You can hear a half-screamed “Yes,” followed by a swarm of applause from everyone in the room, including the woman who gasped and began to cry. It appears that no one ever gets tired of hearing it, despite its repetition. This couple, on the other hand, is causing a stir in society.
Paid Tickets
Compared to reading about a similar interaction, we were much happier as a result of this interaction for specific reasons. He clearly understands her requirements and is someone she can trust. It is, however, the drama that causes people to think, “Yep, that’s still going on in LA.”
North Carolina-31
We are not actually suggesting that every man is like this, although there is some truth to this assertion in terms of the way things actually work. In large cities, some men appear to have a strong desire to cling to their youth to the greatest extent possible.
North Carolina 31
When you live in the city, it doesn’t matter how old you are as long as you can catch up with the rest of the population, right? It’s never a bad idea to brush up on the fundamentals of human survival skills, no matter how old you are.
Eating A Devil?
When it comes to vegetarian food, it receives a lot of criticism, especially from those who have never tried it. It doesn’t help that their names are occasionally a little too sinister-sounding, which makes them even more intimidating. In our position as Wholefoods employees, we’d be perplexed as to why anyone would believe they could also find the devil in our store.
Eating A Devil?
To be fair, a few other foods, no matter how healthy they claim to be, can be just as bad as the devil himself in terms of health benefits. As far as we can tell, it is entirely up to the individual concerned. The devil will not be served for dinner any time soon, however, that is a given in the Christian faith.
An Awful Date
Just as not all heroes wear capes, not all heroes save folks from burning buildings, to paraphrase a popular saying. A few of them are there to save you from a bad date, much like a godmother would in this case be there to protect you. What a breath of fresh air.
An Awful Date
That poor little girl must have had a truly horrible date if she had to beg a complete stranger to basically get her out of that situation. However, we’re interested in learning more about how things actually went down, as well as how the hostess managed to save the day. We will require any and all information we can get our hands on!
Confused Kid
There comes a point in everyone’s life when they realize that we’re all just bumbling around in a state of complete befuddlement. It appears that we have all been dumped here on Earth with no idea what we are supposed to be doing, and we are simply attempting to make the best of the situation. This youngster realized what was going on much sooner than the rest of us.
Confused Kid
Most of us started out as wishy-washy kids who have said stuff like, “I’m going to be this,” “I’m going to be that,” and “I’m going to be everything.” Most of the time, we aren’t even aware of the time of the day. Despite how far humanity has come, we have been reduced to the point where we are living in a state of confusion.
No Energy For That
On occasion, we awaken with the sensation that we are politicians, shaking hands and schmoozing as if it were election day in our lives. Alternatively, we may wake up feeling like Gollum, only interested in our possessions and not in human contact, in which case we may indeed experience the same emotions as he does.
No Energy For That
As much as we appreciate people’s attempts to be courteous and considerate in general, there are times when we can only take so much of being around people. To his credit, he is still alive at 87, which is quite remarkable. By the tenth interaction, we’re completely spent and drained.
Judging A Person By Their Sign
Not only is it fascinating to meet people who use astrology to guide their dating lives, but it is also educational. Because they were born in a particular month, they will willingly dismiss entire populations of great people. Likewise, they will willingly reject you simply because your stars do not align, even if you have been exceptionally nice to them.
Judging A Person By Their Sign
How are these individuals supposed to begin dating in the first place? They simply ask about the star sign of everyone they meet, is that correct? What percentage of them are aware that there is such a thing as a character and that it isn’t solely based on celebrities? And, hey, Leos are pretty awesome, don’t you think?
Learn From A Kid
Children, how we love them. On the one hand, they can be odd little creatures who say odd things from time to time, and on the other hand, they can be sweet little cuddle balls with great wisdom who know exactly when to give us the good feelings we require. Isn’t that correct?
Learn From A Kid
We are already in awe of this 9-year-old, whoever he may be! Everything about their reasoning is sound! Why spend money on new pants when you can simply eat sweets to make your current ones fit better? You will not suffer a significant financial loss, and you will have significantly more fun as a result.
No Worries
Could finding a decent job that you enjoy and would be willing to stick with until your golden years or even until your birthday not be a dream come true? We’re crossing our fingers that this is the case with this elderly lady. She’s 70 years old, and she still has a youthful appearance.
No Worries
This woman is our hero. Many of us aren’t even half her age, and then after staying up past 11 p.m., we already feel like we’re going to die. She, on the other hand, went to a party until her voice became hoarse and still made it to work the very next day. An idol once more.
No More Trust
When someone says they’re “on their way” or that they’ll be there in “5 minutes,” it’s difficult to believe them these days. No matter where we are in the world, we are all aware that those proclamations do not always mean what they should mean.
No More Trust
People who are actually acquainted with another person, such as this one, would attempt to implement techniques such as setting an earlier meeting time or calling their friend an hour before the meeting to ensure that they are well prepared. Unfortunately, no matter what you do, some people seem to be impervious to time constraints. This is unfortunate.
Looking For The Dog Or The Owner?
Isn’t it more common than not that when a dog owner and their pet become separated, the pet is found first and then the owner is contacted to come to find them? That appears to be the proper course of action. That is why we are perplexed by this particular situation.
Looking For The Dog Or The Owner?
The fact that we don’t know what people at LAX are eating or drinking makes us doubt that this is the best strategy for reuniting owner and canine companion. Despite the fact that we do not know what kind of dog it is or what kind of training it has received, we are confident that it does not understand what gate 2 is or where it is located in the world.
Always Late
For the majority of working-class people with day jobs, a typical day begins with waking up around 5 to 6 a.m., and by 8 or 9 a.m., they are sitting at their desks, standing at their stations, or preparing their tools for the day ahead of them. Being at an exercise class later than 9 a.m. on a workday can be unsettling for some of them as a result.
Always Late
We’d also like to know what kinds of jobs they hold and how they came to hold those positions. Furthermore, it would be nice to be able to sleep in later than 6 a.m. while still maintaining our health and having plenty of free time, you know.
TikTok-er
A few months ago, TikTokers and their ridiculous challenges were ridiculed by the public. Take a look at them right now: they’re making money, traveling all over the world, and outperforming every other platform in the process. How wonderful it must be to live a life like that?
TikTok-Er
During a time when most of us are still alive and working to pay off our student loans, the kid isn’t even of legal drinking age and is already sending his mother and father to all of those expensive destinations. It makes us want to rethink our life choices, but don’t worry, we’ll have plenty of time to do so in the coming years. However, it is possible that it will not be on Tiktok, but rather somewhere else.
Craving For Salad
In our entire short lives, we have never once overheard anyone express a desire for salad, even in passing. It is simply not something that our brains or tastebuds are interested in eating. Nonetheless, it appears that there is someone in Los Angeles right now who is completely opposed to us on this issue.
Craving For Salad
Despite the fact that we have no idea what he has been up to or what he is eating or breathing, everyone should make a point of keeping an eye on him. We have nothing against salad, and we recognize the health benefits it provides, but we are fine with cravings that aren’t related to a salad.
Cutting Hair
After a breakup, we’re not sure when it became fashionable, but if your girl changes her hairstyle, you can bet she’s ready to move on and start making some life changes. Oh, and you can bet that if she purchases a new outfit, she will take the opportunity to show her ex what he is missing out on.
Cutting Hair
Unfortunately for him, he is a minute late for the meeting. It begs the question: what do boys do when their girlfriends get a new haircut and a new wardrobe? When it comes to boys, what is the male equivalent of the unspoken phrase, “New me that’s too good for you”?
No White Jeans
If you’re a mother or know a mom, particularly one with young children, you know how difficult it is to keep white out of their wardrobe. They know that no matter how much they want to wear white, keeping those clothes as nice and pristine as they are would be futile with children running around.
No White Jeans
Given how difficult it is to keep whites around children, this person may be correct in their assessment of responsibility. Before you decide to have a child, consider how responsible you are, from plastic plants to white pants. Prepare to make a sacrifice if you answer white pants.
Not Working On A Monday
Influencers make money every day by plainly sharing a photo on Instagram or performing pranks on YouTube. That’s why it’s understandable if the mere mention of them or their claim to be doing “work” makes some people uncomfortable.
Not Working On A Monday
Isn’t it, after all, our mistake that the influencer job was created in the first place? We, the individuals, are the ones who have placed these people on pedestals and allowed them to start sharing our culture. Isn’t it twisted?
Speaking Facts
This child, right here, is actually speaking on behalf of the entire group. Everyone has experienced their own form of misery as a result of the pandemic, and many are still stuck in that mindset as they try to cope with the situation we’ve all been thrust into, so perhaps we all deserve a little extra kindness.
Speaking Facts
We’re already forbidden from touching, gathering, and just doing several of the things we often used appreciate, and a little additional compassion would be greatly appreciated. With a little empathy and generosity thrown in, we might just be able to make a better world out of this disease outbreak.
Airpods
It’s easy to get them all mixed up with all the strange names that firms come up with to name their products. Why don’t we just call them all the same thing and call it a day? It will make everyone’s life easier. Take a look at what this poor flight crew went through.
Airpods
Her honesty, on the other hand, is admirable. And if it were us, we’d be mortified at having to admit that we don’t know what to call something in front of a large group of people on a plane ride that we were trying to serve professionally.
Definitely Awkward
It’s wonderful when people are showing even the tiniest act of kindness to those in need. It restores faith in humanity and immediately reminded you that there are nice people in the world, but it’s always better to ask or double-check before doing something out of goodness of your heart.
Definitely Awkward
When you make an assumption, this is clearly what you get. However, the barista’s gesture is still lovely. Hopefully, it was given to someone else who was in desperate need of a sandwich and wasn’t counting calories, so it didn’t go to waste.
People’s Reaction
Nobody would have cared if you hacked and coughed like you were dying in public a year ago, but now, even a small cough can make everyone stare in horror and slowly back away as if you were about to attack them like a zombie.
People’s Reaction
In public, even the tiniest tickle in your throat has to be the worst thing that can happen to you. It’s especially aggravating for allergy sufferers. A cough can be choked down, but a sneeze is impossible to avoid.
Homeless Chic?
People are now much more conscious of what they speak, how they behave, what they dress up, and also how they treat others as a result of everyone fighting for different areas of social equality. Sadly, some people appear to prefer to remain as backward as they were previously.
Homeless Chic?
We all understand that style can be silly at times, but that girl is purely out of her mind. Seriously, homeless chic? She needs to be properly educated, both in terms of her manners and, most likely, her fashion choices.
Leaving It Overnight
We have a lot of admiration for those unfortunate souls that have to find employment in customer relations. Every day, they deal with whatever customers throw at them, and they manage to stay sane about 50 times a day. Take a look at this example.
Leaving It Overnight
Although the cashier has a fair argument, we can just imagine the customer’s look of pure disappointment. Oh well, he asked for it and got it. Sometimes all it takes is outwitting the customer to get them to stop talking.
Give All The Cheese Then
Cheese is without a doubt one of humanity’s greatest inventions. We’d probably add cheese to everything if we could get away with it. Unfortunately, restaurants don’t always seem to give enough, resulting in situations like this.
Give All The Cheese Then
There really is no such thing as too much cheese, so don’t be stingy with it. The cheese is the star of the show, and this guy has it down pat when it comes to measurements. That would be the ideal mountain of cheese once a manager walks over and stops the cheese rain.
Finding Someone On The Same Boat
You know how it feels when you ask a classmate if they’ve finished their homework and they say no, and it just makes you feel better knowing you’re in the very same boat? For some individuals in the pandemic, that’s exactly how it feels.
Finding Someone On The Same Boat
Everyone was really in the frame of mind of each for his own before the pandemic, but now it has strangely trapped us all in the same miserable bubble, and we won’t be able to get out unless everyone can. Isn’t it enjoyable?
Age Doesn’t Matter In Love
Age is just a number, but in most cases, it shouldn’t mean a thing in love, right? It’s fine as long as you’re both mature adults who respect, fully comprehend, and care for one another. However, it appears that there may be some minor complications.
Age Doesn’t Matter In Love
Trying to avoid Father’s Day could be the best option for this couple. But, on the other hand, we’ll never know how people’s assumptions will play out. Perhaps the next time they go out, it won’t be on Father’s Day; people will mistake him for her uncle, or even worse, her employer.
Love Ain’t Enough
Plenty of us, it appears, are past believing mushy Hallmark movie platitudes like “Just believe in love” or something similar. We all understand exactly that “love” isn’t quite enough in today’s world, so this one is a refreshing change.
Love Ain’t Enough
That’s such a LA thing to do, at the very least, he’s left her with something wonderful to recollect him by, yeah? Who appears to care about trinkets as well as souvenirs if they can end up leaving you with a useful skill that you’ll use until your last breath?
All Dolled Up
Whether this is iCarly, High School Musical, or any other teen show, we all know that high school actors and extras are uncommon. Furthermore, we all know that teenagers don’t have ripped abs or plump filler lips, so this guy does have a point.
All Dolled Up
Some children these days, particularly among the wealthy in Los Angeles, are already into cosmetics. They’ve moved on from make-up and other cosmetic procedures and are now focusing on veneers and lip fillers. Perhaps that’s why everyone there appears to be an adult.
After Work Out Look
There are simply too several days when we may not have the energy to look half as good as the majority of the people anticipate us to, but we still make an appearance wherever we’re needed. This girl appears to have figured out how to do it.
After Work Out Look
As inconvenient as it is to carry extra luggage around in your arms, this lady makes a great point. Messy hair, rumpled clothes, weary face, no make-up face – the yoga mat provides all the justifications necessary for everyone to leave you alone because of them, or so we hope.
Yep, Everyday
We’re just a variant of tired all day, every day, taking in everything that’s going on around us in this pandemic while still struggling to live and live our lives as best we can. So whenever anyone plans ahead, we already know we’re in the same boat as this guy.
Yep, Everyday
We would not need a psychic or a spiritual guru to understand that most of the time, we just want to be safe at home, chilling out, eating good food, and doing everything we can to relax in preparation for what we’ll have to deal with in the coming days. It’s a cycle we’ve become all too familiar with.
Not Qualified
It’s impossible to have too many overheard avocado conversations in Los Angeles. People in LA are crazy about avocados, and they put a lot of effort into finding the perfect one that isn’t too ripe or too unripe and is ready for toast the same day or the next morning.
Not Qualified
However, as this couple demonstrates, some avocado specialists are clearly superior to others. They can’t entrust this crucial mission to anyone else but themselves. They’re the people to ask if you want to know how to pick the perfect avocado.
Perfect
Quite apart from avocados as well as vegan options, many LA residents are also well-versed in the sign and energy languages. You may be on a date that you know is going well, and then they could tell you that you’re great and everything, but your energies aren’t aligned. Take a look at this example.
Perfect
Even when we understand the importance of being on the same page as that of the person you’re speaking with, we’re not sure this is the best way to communicate that to them. Consider what would happen if she was speaking with her boss. That’s not a conversation we’d want to listen in on.
Brie Met Mason
Including over 7 billion people on the planet, it can be difficult to come up with a unique or original name for your children. As a result, some parents appear to have succumbed to giving their children the strangest names possible.
Brie Met Mason
We’re not implying that Brie or Mason are strange. All of those are fairly common names. They weren’t called X A-12, Fuschia, Robocop, Pilot Inspektor, or Gravity, at the very least (yes, those are all real names). Then it would be a nightmare to describe in detail that to every new person you met.
Living In LA
As the saying goes, if you want to be renowned and rub shoulders with the world’s brightest stars, you go over to LA. Of course, they leave out the part about having to share a room with more than two people or working multiple jobs while waiting for your acting, singing, as well as modeling career to take off.
Living In LA
However, as we all know, many of the talented actors and stars we respect and appreciate today got their start as starving artists in Los Angeles. They’ve done everything from waitressing to bartending to odd jobs, so perhaps everyone is just trying to follow in their path while having to wait for their breakout role?
Neverheard
It’s reasonable for someone to be unaware of their country’s entire history or perhaps even the names of all of its locations. After all, that’s just way too much information, but this one, in particular, is excruciatingly painful to hear.
Neverheard
Yes, of course, they may not have visited Idaho or heard much more about it, but it’s impossible for them to have never heard of or come across that name in school. They’re the only Americans in the room, so how do they do it?
