I remember when I was younger I was always in trouble for hearing something that I shouldn’t and then repeated the information in an always less than great time. The worst part of over hearing things is that most times I wasn’t trying to listen to others. Moat of the time it was something that benefited my brother or me because it usually had to do with us being in trouble or what we were going to get for Christmas.
While being on campus it has gotten increasingly worse. Every where I go I hear people talking about things that an average person should never hear in there entire lifetime. Once I was just sitting at a table with friends. Everyone is sitting enjoying dinner being load and having a great time when one of my friends sitting at the end of the table says something that I would rather not repeat. Anyway it was horrible and I wish that I had not heard a word she said.
The worst place that his has ever happened is in class. One day I was just sitting in Middlebush during a biology lecture. When this girl just out of the blue started talking about her period. I mean why the hell anyone would ever ever find that time the correct time to talk about aunt Flo. I have no problem with the subject but when I’m trying to pay attention in class I would prefer not to hear that.
Another great place to overhear the most unusual unwanted thing is in a residence hall down a girls wing. Some people just ask for you to over hear them. One day a few people almost got caught drink because they were not smart enough to not say that they were drinking in their room. It was hilarious when a PA walked past they yelled, “Hey could you pass the vodka.” Then when they were questioned they were shocked and denied it like they were fighting for their freedom. By far the worst thing that I have ever heard was girls discussing how many guys that they have slept with in one night. That got me thinking wow you must have such a low self image.
Although some times overhearing things can be good most of the time you wonder why I had to hear that because what you heard just sticks with you all day. Some of the things that I have heard still stick with me. Things that in my wildest dreams I wish I had never heard stick with me and make me question people that I overhear.
