Strange Things People Overheard While They Were Pretending to Be Asleep

Reddit user @billythekid696 asked the site “What’s your ‘pretended to be asleep and overheard a conversation you shouldn’t have’ story?” And people shared their strange stories about what happened after they closed their eyes and started eavesdropping.

Some people found out their crush’s true feelings for them and other people overheard some secrets that their family would’ve rather kept private.

But everyone shared some absolutely unexpected conversations…

She Confessed Her Secret Love

“I was dozing off in my bed with my girlfriend at the time when I heard her confess her love for me. She was pretty hammered, but she went into intricate detail about how she feels respected and sees a serious future with me.

The next morning I got yelled at for not cuddling and that it was a major issue. I don’t think she even knew of her confession.” Story credit: Reddit / @ClasslessHero

She Overheard Her Mom’s Cheating Plans

“My mum told a friend via telephone: ‘I thought my husband was cheating, so now I do it too. I still don’t know what to do.’ My father has not cheated and it’s proven.

My mum is just stupid, they’re getting divorced now.” Story credit: Reddit / @DavidX98

He Overhead Malicious Plans

“Night after drinking with friends I wasn’t really pretending [to sleep] more trying to keep my head from spinning. I overhear my buddy say to my other friend, ‘I wonder how easy it is to smother someone to death.

Overheard Party Plans

“I was drunk at a party and couldn’t fathom the world so I lay down, closed my eyes in a dark room.

I heard two of my friends come in, one came over to me and poked me in the ribs then said “It’s fine, he’s asleep.”

Then proceed to talk about how both of them were cheating on their boyfriends and who at the party they wanted to [sleep with].” Story credit: Reddit / @System0falem0n
