Say What?

1/13/2020

Discuss a time you overheard part of a conversation, or walked in partway through, and assumed it was about something completely different (or a time someone else overheard you say something and thought is was about something different). How did you/they find out the truth?

One time I heard my parents talking and I thought it was about a birthday present I was getting. I knew that it wasn’t what I was getting when my birthday came around.😂

This happens all the time. Once I walked into a room where everybody was talking, but when they saw me, they all went silent and stared at me. All of them. That set off a bunch of red flags. So I just.......left.

I hate when people do that😖

Madeline

Well that’s no fun.

That’s pretty rough.

I found out the real conversation by just asking them about it, however it took me a while tho.

Janessa

1/13/2020 01:14:24 pm

I’m too scared to do that. Confrontation is scary.

Dakota

1/13/2020 01:15:15 pm

Nice. Glad it worked out😂

hailey

1/13/2020 01:18:34 pm

yeah I’m always just straight forward

One time I was talking about one of my friends named Wyatt & my mom assumed I was talking about my little brother. She was confused so she asked me what I was talking about & I explained everything.

Dakota

Wow Hailey, super cool and all, but I don’t remember asking.😂

I must have Alzheimer’s because I don’t remember asking.

Kendra

Brothers with common names 😂😂

Ele

That’s funny

Jonah

I always do this. People think I eavesdrop but I actually just here random things by accident. I can't really think of a specific example because it happens everyday at lunch but yeah.

Carson

1/13/2020 01:17:51 pm

Oh very cool comment thanks for sharing.

Nathan

1/13/2020 01:19:21 pm

Same bro

Tyler

1/13/2020 01:22:26 pm

Actually everyday at lunch

Carson

1/13/2020 01:13:44 pm

I know this has happened to me before. I can’t think of a specific time though.

Trishelle

Ya I don’t remember asking

Kendra

Sometimes when you hear people talking it may sound like they are saying you’re name but in reality they’re not.

Eliza

1/13/2020 01:16:17 pm

Yeah.

Janessa

1/13/2020 01:16:40 pm

What rhymes with or sounds like Kendra? Blender.......I can’t think of anything.

Janessa

1/13/2020 01:18:06 pm

TUNDRA

Eliza

I don’t really remember a time that I have done this.

Trsiheelle

1/13/2020 01:17:02 pm

Wow

Trishelle

1/13/2020 01:15:59 pm

One time someone was talking about a fish and I thought they said trishelle so I assumed that it as bad

Eliza

1/13/2020 01:17:25 pm

Typically I try to stay away from spreading my opinions on what I think happened but people seem to do it a lot. It should never really matter as long as people stick to themselves and their friend groups in order to avoid drama. You never know what someone else is going through but it’s best not to spread stuff. My parents are extremely guilty of assuming I meant something else and it has ruined our family relationships. Just keep to yourself. Usually people never find out the truth.

Lizzie

1/13/2020 01:19:15 pm

You’re right.

Boaz

1/13/2020 01:16:12 pm

That happens all the time. I always just say “context?” with a very obvious and exaggerated question mark. The people talking usually just laugh and tell me what is going on. I usually use that a joke but if it is a serious conversation I can usually just turn my attention elsewhere.

Beth

1/13/2020 01:19:41 pm

Good procedure

Jonah

1/13/2020 01:26:47 pm

You’ve probably said this to me but I didn’t comprehend because I’ve never heard the word “context” used in that situation. Usually people say a diffferent word like “what”.

Olivia

I overheard people talking about me, and they didn’t know I was there. When I made my presence known, they went really quiet and their faces said it all. It was an “Oh shit,” moment. They quickly went on to explain that it wasn’t what I thought it was.

Madeline

1/13/2020 01:19:08 pm

I feel like we’ve all been there.

Myah

1/13/2020 01:20:43 pm

I enjoy your wordage. If this happened to me I wouldn’t have made my presence known. I just would’ve assumed something and leave. I like how you had the courage to go up to them.

Madeline

1/13/2020 01:16:35 pm

I do this a lot I will here part of a conversation and assume that it is about one thing when the conversation was actually about this completely other thing. I normally don’t intervene or do anything but if I do find out the truth it’s when everything is already worked out.

Olivia

1/13/2020 01:18:44 pm

Hey same.

Micah Tolman

1/13/2020 01:17:32 pm

I don’t have any examples of this, but I do overhear conversations a lot.

Myah

1/13/2020 01:17:42 pm

I do this a lot. I easily focus on something then I’ll just listen to the people around me and it will seem like I’m not even paying attention to them. A bad time of this is when I see two people taking with a certain look on their faces and then see small glances from both to me. I don’t know if what they were talking about was good or bad but I knew it was about me and it made me feel uneasy.

Olivia

1/13/2020 01:19:27 pm

This happens to me all the time.

Keely

1/13/2020 01:21:10 pm

I hate when you know they’re talking about you, but they act like everything’s fine.

Lizzie

1/13/2020 01:21:19 pm

Yeah I have this too.

Lizzie

1/13/2020 01:17:55 pm

This happens a lot when I’m walking by and think I hear my name. I will usually just ask them about it.

Keely

1/13/2020 01:18:39 pm

One time I overheard my parents talking about what my sister was getting for her birthday, but it was kind of mumbled so obviously I misheard. I went and told her what I thought I’d heard so she was super excited. Well her birthday ca,e and the gift I told her she was getting wasn’t there so she asked where it was was and my parents were like “ummmmm, what?” Anyways never assume.

Beth

1/13/2020 01:20:48 pm

That is a good example

Nathan

1/13/2020 01:18:50 pm

Ya that happens to me a lot, I can’t think of a specific time but it is really embarrassing because i feel stupid that I don’t know what they are talking about.

Erik

1/13/2020 01:18:56 pm

At times when I’m walking with friends I will blank out then start listening to them again and I am totally confused about what they are saying.

Boaz

1/13/2020 01:21:41 pm

Ya I do that a lot too. Especially with how some conversations go it can be a little concerning

Myah

1/13/2020 01:22:33 pm

I can totally see you doing this many times.

Jonah

1/13/2020 01:23:38 pm

Literally every conversation I have ever had with you.

Tyler

1/13/2020 01:23:46 pm

You do this everytime I talk to you

Beth

1/13/2020 01:19:02 pm

In the hallways I hear people yell “bet?!” And I always think they are yelling not my name. But then when I look at them I realize they aren’t talking to me.

Megan

1/13/2020 01:19:36 pm

A time I overheard some rumors about some people which is common and eventually you just find out the truth.

Ele

1/13/2020 01:19:55 pm

This has happened to me a couple of times, there is too many times to count haha. I want to confront them but then I don’t.

Tyler

1/13/2020 01:21:33 pm

I do this all the time with my friends and family, I walk in to a room and it sounds like my friends are planning to kill someone but it’s actually them just talking about the biology test (basically the same thing).

Jonah

1/13/2020 01:24:21 pm

Sometimes I tell Tyler I wanna kill my self and people think I’m being serious (because I am), but it’s just an inside joke.
