The 10 most inappropriate locations players have found so far in 'Pokémon Go.'

$

In less than a week, the mobile game Pokémon Go has become a worldwide smash hit. Nerds from Uruguay to Ukraine are wandering around their neighborhoods, tripping into ditches and busting their faces in pursuit of imaginary monsters.

Even Pikachu thinks it's sad.

One feature of the game that has received some not-so-positive press is the use of real-life locations as Pokémon gyms and Pokéspots. These geotagged hotspots require players to travel to them in order to meet goals in the game, and they can be found at such points of interest as works of public art, historic buildings, and more. But with an entire planet to cover, some of these sites are not exactly appropriate for a game aimed at children (and stunted adults). Here are some of the most poorly-chosen locations gamers have found so far in Pokémon Go.

1. A strip club.

Kids wander in to find Pokémon, and by the time they leave, they're done with video games forever.


2. A graveyard.

Was it full of ghost Pokémon?


3. This guy's house.

Boon Sheridan lives in a historic renovated 19th century church with his wife. Unfortunately, the uniqueness of his home led to it being designated as a Pokémon gym without his permission. He quickly found it becoming the epicenter of a nerd infestation.

Although he did eventually make peace with their leader.


4. The 9/11 Memorial.

Never forget... to catch 'em all.


5. The Church of Scientology.

Don't go in there, kids! Not even for a MewTwo. That's how they get ya.


6. The D.C. Holocaust Museum.

So many Pokéfans descended on the Washington D.C. museum's three Pokéstops that the museum itself was forced to urge them to please stop playing.


7. Auschwitz. Yes, that Auschwitz.

The Holocaust Museum doesn't seem so bad now, does it? (It's still pretty bad.)


8. The Pentagon.

If you want to take over this gym, you'd better have top-secret clearance. Your Pokémon won't be much defense against tank embankments and armed guards.


9. The Westboro Baptist Church.

This church, most famous for its charming "God Hates Fags" protests at military funerals and other events, is the site of a Pokémon gym. Mere days after the game's launch, pro-LGBT activists had already taken it over with a Clefairy named LoveIsLove.

Unfortunately, the Westboro people quickly recruited their own Pokémon, an extremely heterosexual Jigglypuff, to reclaim it.


10. The Demilitarized Zone between North and South Korea.

This gym is still unclaimed. Let's hope it stays that way, because it's probably full of land mines.

Happy Amazon Prime Day, a glorious day on which random things on sale on Amazon.com are even more onsale than usual. The sheer randomness of the Amazon marketplace has blessed this (even more) capitalist Christmas with some ludicrous deals, introducing the internet to products they did know existed (and probably shouldn't).

Behold: here are the most pointless deals that are trending on Amazon. Hopefully people are only buying this stuff ironically.

1. Motion Activated Toilet Nightlight, $14.94

Better to leave the neon blue urine on the planet from Avatar.

2. 3-Tier Chocolate Fountain, $47.99

Just in case the next wedding you attend is BYO Chocolate Fountain.

3. Nursing Drug Handbook, $20.73

Here's hoping a book of such importance is more readily available at the hospital.

4. Flashing Light Gloves, $8.38

Only necessary if you plan on communicating in sign language at a rave.

5. Hip and Joint Supplement for Dogs, $31.97

Hopefully if your dog has hip pain, you weren't waiting for this deal to help him.

6. Medium Yeti Statue, $76.64

Go big Bigfoot, or go home.

7. 24 karat gold K-Cup filter, $7.47

The only way to make the least environmentally-friendly way to make coffee even more decadent is by plating the filter in gold.

8. 4-Piece Crepe Spreading Set, $14.97

Just settle on a crepe size, man.

9. Testicle cream, $11.99

Nut up.

10. Cat Purr Therapy for Healing and Relaxation, $9.59

If you're seeking help from cat purrs, you probably need more help.

11. Electric Wine Opener, $18.99-$34.99

Screw you if you can't use a corkscrew.

12. The Awakened Millionaire: A Manifesto for the Spiritual Wealth Movement, $11.21

A millionaire, awakened or not, could probably afford this book at $25.

13. Raising Chickens For Dummies, 2nd Edition, $7.35

The first edition should be sufficient.

14. Electric Willow Tree, $56.03

Real willow trees or GTFO.

15. SmartBottle with Bluetooth speaker, $29.98

Hail HYDRA.

16. Bath & Shower Portable Suction Cupholder, $10.98

If you can't part with your beverage long enough to bathe, I think you might have a problem.

17. The Judge on Blu-Ray, $8.99

You could stick to streaming this one.

Cheating website Ashley Madison apparently rebranding as dating site for cheaters.

$

It's been a while since we've heard any news about Ashley Madison, but it would appear that the disgraced dating site for adulterers is attempting to rebrand itself. Last year, hackers managed to steal Ashley Madison's entire customer database and leaked the list of users online (which included some minor celebrities like Josh Duggar; Sam Rader of internet-famous Christian vlogging couple, Sam and Nia; and Real Housewives of New York star Josh Taekman). Now, the site is apparently trying to fix its reputation.

According to its new CEO, Rob Segal, Ashley Madison's parent company, Avid Life Media, will be changing its name to 'ruby.' Oddly enough, the site itself will keep the name Ashley Madison, due to its massive brand recognition.

The new-and-improved Ashely Madison will feature tougher security (obviously) and is launching an international advertising campaign aimed at changing the way people think about the brand. Although judging by this new TV ad, the message they're trying to convey with that campaign is something along the lines of, "We're still totally cool with you going away on business and cheating on your husband with the silver fox in the hotel lobby."

Can Ashley Madison fix its damaged reputation? We're holding out hope that the rebrand will be such a success, Aaron Sorkin will sign on to direct former CEO Noel Biderman's Ashley Madison screenplay. Only time will tell.

9 easy apps for new parents you could use in your hypothetical sleep.

$

There are lots of apps to help new parents through the endless responsibilities of their baby's first few months. (Keeping track of eating and sleeping as a parent can be tricky when you're constantly forgetting to do either of those things for yourself.) These apps actually serve the purpose of helping keep a tiny human alive, which is even more useful thanPokémon Go. Here are some of the most invaluable:

1. Sprout Baby

Sprout Baby ($4.99) is one of three iOS apps offered by Sprout, along with a fertility tracker and a pregnancy app. It offers tools, records, and charts for sleep tracking, breastfeeding, and whatever was left in that diaper. There are also tracking tools for growth and medical records.

2. Cloud Baby Monitor

The Cloud Baby Monitor is an iOS app ($3.99) that puts a video baby monitor on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch. Using it, parents can monitor their children from their Apple devices at any time. It includes the ability to monitor multiple children from one device at the same time, in the event that your family is growing at breakneck speed. It also has nightlight and white noise features.

3. Baby Connect

Baby Connect ($4.99) helps parents track feeding, diapers, and sleep—plus it includes diaries to record the baby's mood and activities. The app also allows parents to add other authorized users, like nannies and daycare staff. It's available across all app platforms: iPhone, Android, Kindle Fire and even Windows Phones. If you download it for your Windows Phone, be sure to let everyone know via your MySpace page.

4. iBaby Feed Timer

The iBaby Feed Timer app ($4.99) focuses specifically on feeding. It helps track when and for how long your baby feeds, and delivers reminder alerts for feeding and pumping times. It's available for both Android and iOS.

5. MammaBaby

MammaBaby is a comprehensive app for logging feeding, diaper changes, sleeping, growth, and developmental milestones. And for all those type-A nerds who miss PowerPoint presentations when they're with their baby, it offers interactive charts with analysis to compare your baby to World Health Organization data. Instead of showing off your little bundle of joy with just pictures, you can whip out their charts and start bragging about their statistically extraordinary developmental progress.

6. Notabli

Notabli is a secure photo-sharing app for parents who would prefer to share pics of their little one within a closed social network (instead of blasting them to Instagram or having to create lists in Facebook). It's free and available on both Android and iOS. Sure, there are some pictures that are too cute not to share with the entire world. For all others, Notabli is a solid bet.

7. WonderWeeks

The Wonder Weeks ($1.99) app is available for both Android and iOS. It draws from scientific research in the The Wonder Weeks book, originally published in 1992. It tracks and explains developmental changes and "leaps" for babies. Just like the book, it could probably cause unnecessary panic in parents who are obsessed with milestones, so use it with caution.

8. Total Baby

Total Baby tries to do just what its name implies: track the total baby. It offers both a free and pro ($4.99) version on Android and iOS. It's been around for several years and has been featured in CNN, People, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

9. Wunderlist

Wunderlist helps organize all the errands, tasks, and groceries you need so you can actually clothe and feed those babies. It easily allows for multiple users to add an item to the grocery list, or assign a task for whoever is toting around the baby or buying supplies. It helps manage the madness before you manage more madness with the actual baby.

Hopefully some of these apps prove to be useful and contribute towards maintaining your sanity. Notably absent from the list were apps that specialize in delivering sweatpants and booze, but there's always room for a new app to help revolutionize parents' lives.

British weather woman makes 22 'Ghostbusters' references in just over a minute.

Every so often, a hero emerges, seemingly out of nowhere, to inspire us all. Sian Welby, weather presenter for England's 5 News, is one such hero. On July 11, she managed to fit 22 Ghostbusters references into a weather report just over one minute long. Slow clap.

While doing her job and giving the actual weather, she crams in the following words: slime, Parker, ray, stay puffed, don't cross the streams, if there's something strange in your neighborhood, Zuul, Gozer, Wiig, Feig, Weaver, protons, Holtzmann, ghosts, Murray, Abby, Ramis, Hemsworth, Leslie, bust, afraid, and answers the call. And she never gives the slightest inclination that she's doing it.

This isn't the first time she's made movie puns in her weather report. She's done it for Batman V Superman, Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Back To The Future, too. Thank you, Ms. Welby. You're doing God's work.

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum have been married for 7 years (together for eleven), and somehow still seem to really like each other. What keeps the spark alive? Maybe it's that they are always surprising each other with amazing gifts, or maybe it's writing lovey-dovey things about each other on social media (it's really probably because they're both super hot). Either way, the couple both shared very sweet Instagram tributes to one another on their 7th wedding anniversary, because who sends cards and flowers anymore?

Jenna went first, and apparently she still doodles hearts over pictures of her and her husband like a lovesick middle schooler, which is really cute.

7 years ❤️

May they enjoy many more years of Instagram posting about each other.

Jennifer Lopez quickly tweeted and deleted a tweet that used the hashtag "#AllLivesMatter" (unironically) on Tuesday, but screenshots are forever.

J.Lo included the controversial hashtag used to undermine the Black Lives Matter movement on a tweet with a picture of her performing her song "Love Makes the World Go Round," a collaboration for victims of the Orlando shooting with Lin-Manuel "Non-Stop" Miranda.

The fact that she quickly deleted it means:

A) She was embarrassed about getting backlash for her racist views OR

B) She isn't racist but oblivious to what that hashtag actually means.

Inconceivable.

Twitter called her out on her complete ignorance either way.

J.Lo or her reps have yet to comment.

A video of a teenager giving an impassioned performance on the field with her marching band is going viral due to just how impassioned said performance is. It's maybe the most impassioned marching band performance ever, in the history of marching bands, including possibly John Philip Sousa himself. If you were to look up impassioned in a dictionary, you would see gifs of this girl's face (if you have some weird gif dictionary, anyway). She performs with utter abandon, and the internet is loving it—the video has been viewed well over a million times on Facebook since being posted on July 10.

This girl is not messing around.

For some people, being filmed doing their thing, good or bad, and having the whole world watch it is basically a nightmare. But this girl seems to be performing for the crowd and not at all shy about it. Which is good, because it would be a tragedy for her to become self-conscious in future performances, seeing as it looks like she basically lives for this. Unless she's just this serious about everything—who knows, maybe this is how she eats dinner, too.

This is Meeiah Toelntino, a 16-year-old living in Anchorage, Alaska who is definitely not dying from her period.

Period survivor.

But try explaining that to Meeiah's adorable 3-year-old sister, Rain, who followed her into the bathroom, saw the blood, and then lost her mind.

“I went in my room and saw her bawling,” Meeiah told BuzzFeed News. “She was yelling, ‘You need to go to the doctor,’ and ‘You’re going to die because you’re bleeding!’”

In response, Meeiah did what any responsible big sister would do: grab her phone and turn those tears into an adorable viral video.

I feel you, Rain. This is my response every time I get my period.

It's such a heartwarming facts-of-life moment that people online fell in love with it, and the video was shared over 82K times. Apparently, unlocked bathroom doors are more common than you'd think.

Some people were concerned that the 3-year-old's introduction to womanhood came too soon.

But big sis Meeiah swears there was no permanent damage.

Typical toddler, only worrying about her dying sister for the attention. Give Rain another ten years and she's sure to start caring again.

Robot fighting competition show BattleBots is right up there with choker necklaces and Pokémon in the race to be the next thing from your childhood to suddenly become popular again. Although BattleBotsmay not be everyone's cup of tea, it is hard not to be at least a little invested in this extremely epic battle between a robot called Blacksmith and a robot called Minotaur that some are calling the "greatest BattleBots fight of all time."

In a true David and Goliath story, Minotaur completely annihilates Blacksmith, leaving it a giant, smoking pile of metal. Don't you feel at least a little bad?

Is it weird to have gotten legitimately emotionally invested in robots?

Also, Minotaur's driver, a.k.a the most INTENSE man of all time, must be acknowledged. He just looks like he has worked so hard just to get here.

To see this battle through this man's safety goggles...

Wait, why did we all think robotics were nerdy? This is AWESOME.

Remember Bernie Sanders' campaign with 6 ecards that will keep you feeling the Bern.

Don't EVER stop a running woman to insult her physical appearance. That's like making a pilot land a commercial jet to describe the view from your coach seat. It's not helpful, and you sure as shit know way less about what you're talking about than the person you are talking to.

Trust, if a woman appears to be happily running, her boobs are just fine.

Eddie Prosser of Jackson, Mississippi has a problem. You see, there's a big stinking pothole outside his home. It's been there forever! He's called the city multiple times, but nothing happens. So instead of calling yet again, he chose to send the city a message with a little passive aggressive positivity. He celebrated the pothole's birthday with a sweet little card.

Pothole celebrates it's birthday.

This is the ultimate example of killing them with passive aggressive kindness.

The man behind the birthday party, Eddie Prosser.

He told WJTV in Jackson...

"I thought it was time to do something different.”

Different indeed.

The card reads...

"Happy Birthday Pothole! I have been here a year! My 2 little brothers, too!"

Prosser said the city got back to him once. Unfortunately, they haven't reached out after Prosser's very aggressive sweet gesture.

Not for nothing, but Prosser's handwriting should be applauded. Very impressive.


Emma Roberts and Dave Franco pranked the press while promoting 'Nerve.'

Celebrities pranking unsuspecting journalists is never not enjoyable. It's not like the celebrities need the journalists to promote their movies, right? It's all in good shade fun!

Emma Roberts and Dave Franco star in the new movie Nerve, about a high schooler who gets in too deep playing an intense version of Truth or Dare. As part of the press junket for the film, Roberts and Franco played a prank of their own on unsuspecting journalists. The film's directors, Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, along with YouTuber Casey Neistat, "dared" Emma and Dave what to say and do from another room during the course of the interview. They then proceeded to laugh uncontrollably at things that are, well, not really all that weird.

Emma and Dave hold hands. This is supposed to be hilarious.

Emma drinks a beer. Are the extra calories the funny part?

Dave takes the beer. Sharing is caring, after all.

Dave meows at the journalist. Meowing at strange women is a great way to get arrested prank.

Emma angrily says "No!" to the journalist doing her job. Because no means no (followed by laughter).

Then Emma tries to plant a kiss on the journalist. Turns out not respecting boundaries is the new LOL.

Oy! That was so hard. Can we nap?

But all's well that ends well. The journalists had a good laugh at these celebrities having fun.

'Game of Thrones' oldest character may have tried to tell Jon Snow about his parents in season 1.

$

As always, spoilers for the entire series lie ahead.

It seems Jon Snow may have had a hint about his lineage from a distant relative way back in Season One. This foreshadowing was revealed in the traditional manner: by a nerdy sleuth on Reddit with lots of time on their hands. Since Season Six ended, dedicated fans of the show have had a field day rewatching previous seasons for clues about the current plot developments.

The conversation goes way back to when Jon was a rookie at the Wall. Jon had just learned of Ned Stark's arrest by the Lannisters. He spoke with Aemon, the maester of the Night's Watch. During this conversation, Jon learns that the maester was born Aemon Targaryen. He told Jon the story of when he learned that nearly all the Targaryen descendants had been killed in Robert's Rebellion.

But when Aemon was asking Jon what Ned would do in this situation, he focused on the contrasts between love and duty:

If the day should ever come when your lord father was forced to choose between honor on the one hand and those he loves on the other, what would he do?

Maester Aemon gives us hints abount the events of the Tower Of Joy back in Season 1

We know now that Ned does the right thing by protecting his sister's son by saying it's his bastard. But here's where Aemon revealed he might have known exactly whose Jon's true parents were:

What is honor compared to a woman’s love? And what is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms? Or a brother’s smile?

The Tower of Joy scene revealed a newborn son in Ned's arms:

And a brother's smile:

In Season Four, Aemon has a conversation with Sam in which he also says that "love is the death of duty." So, it may just be kind of his catchphrase, but since Aemon is a Targaryen, it's unlikely George R.R. Martin wrote that conversation with Jon by accident. Where and how that plays out in the rest of the show remains to be seen (or until someone figures it out from previous episodes and posts a theory online).

Guy wanted to play 'Pokémon Go' so badly he insulted an entire country and got himself fired.

A (now former) vice president of digital marketing at a Singaporean real estate site took his fury out on that country after he discovered he couldn't play Pokémon Go on a business trip there from Australia.

Sonny Truyen probably wouldn't have lost his job if he had left his comment at "piece of fu*king sh*t" country.

Something about those who work in digital, though, sometimes makes them feel immune to the consequences of screaming obscene nonsense on the internet. And so he did not leave his comment at "piece of fu*king sh*t" country.

The real estate site, 99.co, soon found its Facebook page flooded with angry messages about the would-be Pokémon trainer they employed.

A day after the controversy, a message appeared on 99.co's blog.

1) Sonny, an SEO specialist, has only started consulting for us for a week before the incident happened.

2) We are a proud Singaporean company and do not condone such language or behaviour, hence we have since terminated his engagement once the incident came to light.

Fired. Quicker than you could say, "Ugh, is that a Goldeen? I'm not wasting my time with that." Even though this episode has brought 99.co more publicity than they had likely ever dreamed of.

For his part, Truyen told Mashable, "It was a dick move on my behalf and a very big error in judgment to negatively label an entire country over Pokémon. It was very wrong of me to rage like that."

"However in my defense," he continued, presumably referring to commenters on the internet, "I was racially vilified for not being a 'white' Australian.' It was disappointing the lengths Singaporeans went at to attack me and deny any chance of making amends for my actions."

It's almost like Singaporeans take their country as seriously as some people take Pokémon Go.

Kristen Bell confesses to fellow moms: ‘all of us are wearing yogurt and all of our hands smell of urine.’

Kristen Bell has a message for moms under pressure from social media to make their job look easy, breezy and beautiful: that's impossible. This pressure to be perfect is extra true for celeb moms, who are under the most scrutiny. But the idyllic depiction of celebrity motherhood we see online (so many homemade muffins! so much smiling at picnics!) is a myth, according to Ms. Veronica Mars herself.

To put other moms at ease, the 35-year-old actress and mother of two wants the world to know her own experience as a mom is not nearly as glamorous as it can appear on social media.

Hmm I'm thinking today I'm gonna sitbback, relax and TAKEOVER the @EntertainmentWeekly handle!!! Tune in for nonsense!

A photo posted by kristen bell (@kristenanniebell) on

“In the age of social media, when you can edit your life in beautiful pictures, it’s important to remind moms that all of us are wearing yogurt and all of our hands smell like urine,” the actress said in her cover story for Redbook's August issue. “When you present an unrealistic idea of perfection to people, it’s not fair."

So don't worry, other moms! Being covered in yogurt and having hands that smell like pee is totally normal! (For a parent, at least. The rest of us need a better excuse.)

Bell, who has two daughters—Lincoln, 3, and Delta, 18 months—with husband Dax Shepard, also got real about some of the other challenges of motherhood. Like trying to create healthy boundaries. “Recently, I’ve had an epiphany that if I’m as nice to my daughter as I want to be, she’s not going to respect me,” she told Redbook. “Giving your kids strong boundaries is good for them, because if you just let them do whatever they want, you raise a jerk.”

She also was honest about the fact that her marriage to the 41-year-old Shepard is, like any marriage, not perfect. Both have been open about their personal mental health struggles; Bell has spoken about depression and anxiety, while Shepard has talked about overcoming addiction. In the past, Bell said, they'd get in fights and she "loved a dramatic exit."

"If I could slam a door, I felt so powerful. If I could get in my car and screech away, it was even better," said Bell. "He said to me, 'If we have an issue, you can’t leave. We’re going to talk or I’m not going to do this with you.' I loved him so much that I was like, 'I better get my act together.'"

Stars! They're just like us: slamming doors, reeking of urine, and caked in a thin layer yogurt.

People share the most messed up stuff they've overheard while eavesdropping.

The best things in life are free; you just have to sit really quietly and wait to overhear them.

$10 says Shere Khan knows exactly where Mowgli's parents are.

Or you could just get lucky and hear some really juicy goss while you were just minding your own business. At least, that's what these people who shared the craziest things they've ever overheard would have you believe. Intentional or not, these are definitely the kind of truths you can only get when it was intended for someone else.

1. Back2Bach overheard a priest completely cock-block a deacon.

I was upstairs in the church organ loft looking through music on a quiet weekday.

Downstairs I heard a conversation going on, so I peered over the loft railing and saw the pastor sitting in a pew, talking with a young female. She was telling him that she was strongly attracted to the church's Deacon (a single guy, early 30s) and wanted to know if he would introduce them.

I could tell that the pastor got flustered because he had eyes on the Deacon to become a priest, not to date women. For her part, the girl told the priest that she wanted to save the deacon from a "boring life of celibacy."

2. tierneyb was the one person who was not supposed to hear what he heard.

Overheard my wife saying "You look really handsome, babe!". She was on a Facetime call with the guy she was cheating on me with and didn't hear me come in early from work. Still the hardest thing I've ever heard. I listened in the hallway for a few minutes, then packed a bag and left. 10 years of marriage and we have a two year old. It's pretty insane.

Edit: Thanks for all the love. I moved out, divorce is final in October. She moved in with him. Life's rough sometimes. It'll get better.

Always the Mickey, never the Minnie.

3. 900yrsoftimeandspace overheard something that will make you seriously consider becoming a foster parent.

I was listening to two of my Kindergarten students talk about Christmas the day before break. One asked "Do you believe in Santa?". The other replied "Yes, but he doesn't come to my house because I'm in foster care."

4. 72scott72 heard something that will haunt him till his dying days.

I was at Disney in high school and I heard a guy say to someone "You're tiggity but ain't good enough to eat so put your shoes back on." I'm 35 and still have no idea what that meant.

No tiggity, plenty of doubt.

When the police showed up at my door to tell me that my upstairs neighbor was dead, I overheard the EMTs say"We're going to have to double bag him." Then I heard my neighbor's double-bagged body being dragged down the narrow staircase because a stretcher wouldn't fit. (thump.. thump.. thump..)

7. 12pillows found out someone went their whole life without a basic grasp of water fowl.

I was a waitress and I just took an order from a table of students that were all 18+.

One of them seemed pretty dim with the questions she was asking me, but nothing too stupid. One of her friends ordered duck gyoza. As I walked away I heard her ask her friends what a duck was, and them start to explain.

How the hell to you get to be over 18 and not know what a fucking duck is!?

Can't be sleeping on ducks, man.

8. iglidante learned the horrors of womanhood way too soon.

As a young child (maybe 8), I overheard an older woman talking to a friend about uterine prolapse. I was terrified by the image.

I was sitting on the toilet and it just fell out. I had to push it all back inside.

9. gm98clj's eavesdropping won him a juicy family secret.

I once overheard by Grandmother talking on the phone. I learnt that she has another child that no one in my family knows about, including my mum who is supposedly an only child.

10. And DangersVengeance got some priceless info were she to ever get in a fight with her sister.

"I only had her so I didn't have to go to work" -my mother about my younger sister. Turns out that as I got old enough to need less supervision my mother realised that she'd suddenly be expected to actually make financial contributions like a normal person. That clearly wasn't for her, so "accidentally" got pregnant again. Took me a long time to realise what I'd actually heard.

Work: it's not for everyone.

11. PM_Me_Your_Smile overheard a woman say what was hopefully just a decoy to keep men from hitting on her.

Sat on a bus home from work a couple of years back. An attractive young lady, blonde in her twenties and dressed in smart business gear got on an took a seat (If you'd seen the state of the bus usually you'd understand why she caught my attention). Anyway, she picks up the phone and starts having a full conversation. The biggest 180 on a first impression i've ever had. Starts talking about her two kids who got taken into care because her and her ex couldn't stop beating each other up. The cracker of a quote was "I'm not even sure they'll let me keep the one inside me yet". All this was a soundtrack to a silent bus, not really eavesdropping when it's so in your face but shocking all the same as this fairly normal twenty something revealed openly her mental homelife.

12. All 9ickle had to do was look the other way to catch this tidbit.

Worked at a summer camp for a few years, I'm convinced kids don't realize you can hear them even when you're in the same room literally three feet away unless you're looking directly at them. Best conversation I ever heard was between two nine year olds.

Kid 1: my brother is totally going through puberty and he's only eleven!

Kid 2: lucky!

Kid 1: I know he even has armpit hair!

Kid 2: if I had armpit hair I'd shave it off and glue it on my face..

Kid 2: thats... that's.... a great idea!

Me: ???

13. And finally, thrownmolotov overheard something a little less childish. Just like his crush, we saved it for the end.

Overhearing a girl I had a huge crush on in high school sophomore year talk to her friends about her boyfriend fisting her so hard she shit a little on his arm. The level of my crush on her deflated a bit after that.
