Olympic Sport Winner: Eavesdropping

Eavesdropping (aka listening in to someone else's conversation) is a hobby for me, or even a sport. i truly excel at listening to other people's conversation. Now at this point you are probably saying/thinking - how rude. but i don't care. i've really been able to kill the hours traveling, eating alone (sniff), or just general life stuff listening to what others say. the mall is a great place to do this. restaurants, bars are fantastic too.
well this evening i realized the difference between the content of older folks and your standard gen x/y isn't that great. admittedly there's more surgery and health conversation among the older - but let me tell you - in the end EVERYONE gets down to the gossip. now the gossip content might shift a little but in general it's the same. today i was eating alone and heard 2 couple tell stories tag-team style about cheating husbands, divorces and who the other woman was. that doesn't vary much from gossip i hear on BART. it's always about who is stooping who and where. although the younger crowd usually includes how and with what extra hardware.
anyway - i was greatly amuzed. and realized i deserve a gold medal in eavesdropping!
