The most obnoxious conversation you've overheard?

geeky

The other day, Mrs Geeky was working away in a café. Overheard two charming ladies having a conversation.

Highlights included
- "sure there are plenty of jobs out there - people just don't want to work"
(I won't turn it into a dole-bashing/defending thread, but there are far less jobs out there than people available - and there they were sat on their arse having coffee!)

- "Oh it's a shame about that Savita woman. But you know, if it was her time, it was her time. This is a Catholic country"
(Apparently some people don't believe in medical intervention of any kind. Even when they're bouncing a baby on their lap. Wonder what that woman would have said if her baby had a condition requiring emergency surgery and the doc had just said 'sure, if it's her time...')

- "I disagree with foster care. Why should the state pay for the kids of junkies. They're just the junkies of the future"
'Nuff said.

So, AHers, what's the most obnoxious conversation you've overheard?

Abi

Ms Geeky is a better woman than I, I don't think I'd have been able to bite my tongue hearing all that. Pair of ****.

I once overheard 2 people say that the royal welsh show was the best show in England

2 people I used to work with said of a known local man that was cleared of all sexual harassment of a young girl who admitted she made up false accusations , sure there's no smoke without fire.

I worked for a large retail giant in 2000 and I overheard one manager telling another that you have to keep a personnel distance from the shop floor workers , you have the suit on and they have to respect that , ( now some people might agree but I thought the 2 of em were ass holes )

My mate was living in Cologne where there is a large population of Turkish immigrants.

Alot of the younger lads, how do I put it, would be of similar ilk to C.Ronaldo with how they would dress and carry themselves.

So my mate is on the subway and two Turkish young fellas get on and hear my mate on the phone talking in English and assume he can't understand German but he can hear them talking and understands fine..

"Hey, should we jump on that guy there and rob him"
"I don't know, I think he's English."
"You're right, the English can fight, better not."
"They've got no style though."

And with that they got off, my mate chuckling to himself.

Once heard some scumg bag lady on the phone talking about how she was getting a new TV, 50 inch one on HP cause the dole will cover the cost for her on the children allowance as she had now conviced them to pay for her bills so she has more money, and ryan is working for cash and staying with her.

I really want to nick her bag and find out her details to rat her out. Fat miserable knacker bitch.

Having a smoke beside some hip and happening hipsters when somehow they get to the conversation of people with disabilites when one of them comes out with this clanger:

"People who make fun of those with mental disabilities like, down syndrome is it?..........are, like, retards."

I wish I or my wife did. But it happened. Just checked and the quote was 'If Savita was meant to live, she would have'

I asked Mrs Geeky to tell them that the state intervention they despise had probably saved them from the Darwinian demise nature and their stupidity intended. But I doubt they were big fans of Darwin.

Queuing for a nightclub in London with one of the lads, we heard a group of lads ahead of talking about soccer. They were saying that the Rome derby is in the San Siro. Was a *little* annoying!

People are not allowed sit in a cafe, pay for coffee and chat about whatever they choose to now in case some waitress is offended, seriously some people need to Stfu and mind their own business.

People are not allowed to talk about conversations they overheard and find despicable on the internet now?

My wife and her boarding school book club friends have some pretty obnoxious conversations. It's usually about other people's husbands and boyfriends. I'm sure they think I'm an ill mannered so and so. I'm usually legging it out the door for a pint and champions league when I see their gormless faces appearing round the door.

I heard someone say before that people with disabilities shouldn't be given jobs as they are incompetent. :-\

I also overheard a guy in the pub in college talking rather loudly about how anyone drawing the dole shouldn't be allowed to vote. His argument was that the unemployed are stupid and they wouldn't understand the politics at play. That infuriated me so much that I turned around and pointed out that he was the ignorant one.

Sitting on a bus heading from UCD into town one day. Had just been in for a breakfast roll in Spar & as I sat in on the bus the only seat left was in front of four utter cnuts. I began listening to their rubbish stories as I tucked in to my roll. One of them obviously spot the scruffy guy just out of bed in sitting in front of them & one of them pipes up:

"Like guys what is even in a breakfast roll? I know there's beans & mushrooms but isn't that like poor people food?"

That would have been bad enough, but all four of them spoke for about 15 minutes about the ins & outs of not just breakfast rolls, but poor peoples food in general. I'd love to say I didn't care but I felt their eyes burning into the back of my skull. I jumped off the bus & waited for the next bus. Never in my life had I heard such rubbish from so called "educated" people. They weren't that young either, maybe 22 or 23. Old enough to know better & shut the **** up while I'm trying to eat my roll.

Doesn't seem as much obnoxious as blatant predjudice on your part, me thinks.

Routinely drove two female colleagues to and from work. One morning, one of the ladies was missing. "Where's Annie" I asked. "Oh, she's sick. She has a pelvic infection." Annie was known to be a bit, em, friendly so, trying not to smile, I said "Oh, that's bad." "Yeah, it's strange alright. I thought only fellas had pelvics."

I wouldn't mind but there was no beans or mushrooms in the roll. I was never so annoyed in my entire life, they were the typical D4 ragdoll head sluts that you always see in and around that kip of a University. I should have flattened the fat one, she had a face that was made for smacking.
