On any given day we can catch strangers talking about their crappy love/ work life while just standing in line at the grocery store, riding public transportation, or walking down the street. And, now in this great digital world of ours we have the ability to ease drop on stranger’s personal business just by logging on to the internet.
If you go to the site, FMyLife, you can view users sharing life’s everyday unfortunate moments such as, “Today, I was fired for “customer dissatisfaction”. I work in IT and have never met one of my company’s customers. FML.”
For those of you on Twitter, you can follow SecretTweet to read 140 characters of anonymously posted secrets including such passages as, “I am embarrassed everyday that the only people who post on my Facebook/Twitter are my parents. Still, I update every day. 23 y/o male.”
And, for all you New Yorkers, swing by the Overheard in New York site to catch some of the notable conversations happening around the city. For instance, this little toddler was heard throwing a tantrum over pickles.
Raucous blond toddler, shouting: I want pickles!
Harried young mother, shouting back even louder: We have pickles at home! I will give you pickles!
–Broadway & Bleecker
All these humorous conversational sites inspired us to start an ‘Overheard at Squeaky’ sidebar. We will post the best conversations happening within the walls of the Squeaky Wheel Media office. Like this gem…
“I don’t know how many girls you’ve fooled with your teenage games.”
