Haha, perhaps, yes! But also why do we feel the need to relay it? Tit for tat?! Can't we just be better than that?! If you're really, really annoyed, why not just say to the conversationalists - "perhaps you could keep it down?"
- mikeash 13y agoI'd wager that it's generally just wanting to share something funny. I don't know, it doesn't appeal to me personally. I just don't see why you'd get upset about being the target if you were being that loud in the first place.
- iamben 13y agoSure, but your hilarity may be coming from someone else's tragedy (or certainly something they probably don't consider funny), and maybe you're not being loud you're just sat somewhere you can be overheard? And again - sharing the conversation you've overhead is unlikely to be a selfless act, is it?! That said, horses for courses - we can agree to disagree :-)
