| Not really- but i was really surprised to see my Dad do it today. Some woman was mouthing off about newspapers and people 'approaching her', so he turned round to make it look like he wasn't interesting, but he was trying so hard to hear what was going on |

| I don't try to but sometimes they are being really loud and I can't help it. Those people usually are the biggest idiots having the stupidest conversation. |

| It's hard not to sometimes. Sometimes people just facinate me and I can't help but to people watch. It drives my husband crazy. |

er... I have to admit that I... well. I can't help it. I just HAPPEN to listen to people. Not always, just when silly conversations are going on or when someone has a nice accent.
Last week, I was so close to laughing out loud when two girls standing next to me were discussing why they would never ever work for Easyjet ("too much orange").

Yeah I do listen I can't help it, only when I'm bored though.
Once at the asda, I saw this man, he was short and looked Scottish, I saw him there every time I went for a week and saw him in the car on the way, weird........ |

I hate it when you go somewhere and there's all these 'soccer moms' in water proof jackets talking posh. But I always listen to them |

| Yeah sometimes if my friends and I are bored we do, it can be entertaining, sad but true. And it gives us a good laugh=/ Some people talk about the wierdest stuff...it's always interesting. |
