Surreptitiously listening into a conversation you should not be privy to.

Originally posted by @lemondropI believe the current term for chatroom eavesdropping is:
aren't forums and chat rooms the perfect places to eavesdrop?
also it's very hard not to eavesdrop when people are yakking on their cell phones
Originally posted by @ogbDo you know that from experience?
In the USA, our government can, and does, listen to any phone conversation, for security reasons only...lol ha ha ha to that ! BIG BROTHER !
Originally posted by @trev33I too love people watching. I try to imagine one of two things about people I watch. 1: what kind of animal they remind me of and 2: what they might do (as in employment).

Originally posted by @great-big-steesI just look at how people look, and I amazed to think that we all look different, everyone of us. That keeps my mind busy at times. But I'm not so curious at what people say.
