As a resident of the City of Angels for almost a decade, I can tell you that it’s home to all manner of kooks. Delusional actors! Delusional social media influencers! Delusional health gurus! Plus, all sorts of grounded, creative, brilliant, hilarious, and downright awesome people.

So it’s no surprise that the Instagram account Overheard LA is so entertaining. Every day, the account shares real conversations overheard in Los Angeles. Founder Jesse Margolis was inspired after overhearing a conversation about a health food store. Margolis told Bored Panda that he receives over 100 submissions a day, and shares only the best of the best. We really try to select things that are both funny and feel like they are breaking new ground,” he said. “We get a lot of great submissions, and really try to post new, original content every day that doesn’t feel stale.”

Since the account was created in 2015, it’s amassed over 1 million followers, and now has several spinoffs in other cities like San Francisco and New York. Scroll down and enjoy 15 of the weirdest things overheard in Los Angeles. It’s like eavesdropping, and you won’t ever get caught!
