overheard

As humans, we are natural people watchers and eavesdroppers. It's simply in our DNA, how can we not be somewhat interested in what other people are doing or saying? It's already startling enough to consider the fact that there are complete strangers all over the world living entire lives that we don't take any part in. Like how is that possible? And it's not even just people across the globe, there are literally people in your city, town, suburb, whatever, that have an entire existence that will never involve you. This is why it is so precious when we have these random eavesdropping moments, that give you a peek into someone's existence, no context, no nothing, that's all you get. Thrilling, isn't it?

Going to the nail salon is a great way to unwind and have a little "me-time". But there's something about getting pampered that makes some ladies feel comfortable enough to say whatever they want, regardless of how bad it sounds. Clearly, some people forget that nail salons are public places and whilst we do our best not to eavesdrop, sometimes it's just too hard not to overhear the absurdities that come out of people's mouths. Here are some of the best things overheard at nail salons around the world.

Flying is grand, isn't it? 

Well, the idea of flying somewhere is grand, the execution....not so much. Unless you're wealthy and can afford anything more than economy, then we're sure flying is always fun for you. But you are not allowed to talk to us. Ever. 

The rest of us, the economy crew, we're basically stuffed in like sardines -- breathing in all of each others germs, stenches and whatnot. And there is no escape. 

There is no "you" anymore, you have all become one and you overhear some weird/dumb things that'll have you thinking, "I'm sorry... what??".

These are just a few of overheard things on a plane:
