It's inevitable that if you're out in public someone will overhear what you are saying. If you don't want all your business blasted online you might want to watch what you say because people just love to take it the internet when they hear something juicy. Just look at these examples.
After Seeing These Overheard Conversation Tweets You Will Be More Careful What You Discuss In Public
#1 Well that's awkward.
I'm pretty sure the coworker laughed his ass off at this. I know I did. It's something that would just be awkwardly hilarious to pop up in that situation.
#2 The things you hear in the coffee shop.
To be honest he kind of walked into this one. The guy was just trying to be slick and she was trying to get out of the awkward situation.
#3 What a burn.
Overhearing drunk people argue over their relationship matters is often funny. Sometimes it's way TMI though like in this case.
#4 And now we all have a new word.
Sometimes overhearing a conversation can lead to you learning something new and catchy. I'm sure this is how many slang words have spread over the years.

#6 Police scanners are so great.
I highly suggest you get your hands on a police scanner. 95% of the time it will be boring crap but every now and then you will hear something truly hilarious. It's worth it.
#7 Who says nuns can't be naughty.
The drawback of overhearing a conversation is that you aren't always paying attention when the context of the conversation is determined. That can lead to some funny awkwardness depending on the topic of the conversation.
