People Reveal The Funniest Things They've Heard Someone Say In Public

Reddit user Mountain_Future4034 asked: 'What was the funniest thing that you heard someone say in public?'

Let's be honest: some of us are really nosy, and nothing seems to please us more than people-watching or eavesdropping on other people's conversations.

But even if that's not your jam, you've more than likely heard some funny or weird isolated comments while out in public.


Curious about others' experiences, Redditor Mountain_Future4034 asked:

"What was the funniest thing that you heard someone say in public?"


A Tough Man to Replace

"I was sitting on the patio at a bar one afternoon just watching birds and enjoying a few beers alone."

"Next to me was a group of older folks (around retirement age) just hanging out. They were talking about all kinds of things. I’d drift in and out of listening to them when I heard one man talking about his doctor. He said the doctor had passed away two years prior in almost a depressed tone."

"The other men told him, 'Don’t be so sad, man, it’s not like he was your wife or anything.'"

"And without skipping a beat, the man replied, 'I know I shouldn’t be so upset, but man, he just gave really good prostate exams.'"

"The entire table started cracking up. I nearly spit my beer out from laughing so hard and the man pointed at me and said, 'See, he gets it!'"

"The laughter only got louder. I didn’t talk to them afterwards or butt into their conversation but it’s a fond memory of mine."
