Ever see those movies (especially romantic comedies) where at some point a misunderstanding occurs between characters that could've been avoided if only the characters came right out and clearly said what they were thinking?
This is what this thread is like.
The American TV comedy series Three's Company (based on Brit Com series Man About The House) used the Out-of-Context Eavesdropping trope as the plot of roughly 2/3s of the episodes, according to:
