Yes you read it right. I love to eavesdrop. As socially unacceptable and immoral it is, sometimes I just cannot help but listen to other people’s private (well, semi-private) conversations. The thing is, sometimes, I’m FORCED to hear these stranger’s talking. Take dinner time. In Hong Kong, the tables in restaurants are so packed that I can hardly squeeze my ass through the gap. Now how is it possible NOT to hear what the next table is talking about??
I’d like you to meet my friend, Mike. Well, he isn’t really my friend because technically we never met officially. But I do know a great deal about him because I heard pretty much his whole life story in the frame of 2 hours. Yep. You guessed right, he sat at the table next to mine.
** To my friends whom I have dinner with : it’s not that what you say isn’t interesting. I still love you guys.
Okay, back to Mike. So Mike is 30. He’s a banker. (Didn’t make a great first impression on me! HAHA Those who know me will know how I dislike people who love money and work solely for money. I’m sure there are a few bankers who love the environment and poor people, but for now, I dislike bankers. lol.) Anyways, he’s going through a divorce right now and his wife wants to take his apartment and the dog. Oh the dog!! He misses the dog dearly but is too scared of his ex-wife to go visit his dog. And now he’s dating a girl who is a friend of his ex-wife. WTF?! Stop right there. I wanted to slam my drink down on the table and yell at him, “DUDE! You NEVER go for the ex-wife’s friends!” I thought it was a rule carved into stone, no? Anyways, he’s going through what he described as depression. Well, I’m sure I would be depressed if I’m dating my ex-wife’s friend whilst my ex-wife is fighting for my apartment and kidnapped my dog.
So yes, I do love to eavesdrop. Do you? Or are you boring and stick to conventional rules and think that eavesdropping is rude and socially unacceptable? hehe….
