SCENE IV – About Cousin “T” It (Eavesdropping)
I know he’s cra-cra
Who wears meatballs for jewels?
I know … Bea loves him!
Oh dear … Cousin T!
What a surprise. Do join us.
Sit on the floor? NO!
Why are you staring?
Drink your damn coffee, will you…
But … Me loves you girls
Helloooo? T speaking
I’m here with my girls, Beatrice!
We. Are. Not. MARRIED
Oh darling Cous’ T
We mustn’t do this daily…
Drinking coffee sucks!
Have you ever eavesdropped in a cafe before? Have you ever eavesdropped with your crazy cousin in a cafe before? Enjoy the drama. Have a good laugh on me. Add a few lines to the many conversations that take place in a crowded cafe. Come back later for even more hilarious conversations. TY Robyn!

SCENE V – Eavesdropping
Hi, secret lover…
Kiss, kiss. Love meeting you here
Oops! Here comes Johnny…
I knew it, you…B#$%%ch!
You were cheating with my dad
Wait till mom comes home
What a lovely day!
Have coffee when it’s raining…
Sarcastic idiot!
Helloooo? … anyone home?
Pick up the phone … G…D damn it!
That’s it, NO DINNER!
If you ever need material for a post. Go to a public place and listen to the many conversations going on. You’ll enjoy the creativity.
My fellow bloggers were equally creative with their selections. Check out their posts below.
This post was inspired by a prompt from WP Daily Post: Cousin It We all have that one eccentric relative who always says and does the strangest things. In your family, who’s that person, and what is it that earned him/her that reputation? AND Weekly Writing Challenge: Eavesdropping This week’s writing challenge revolves around my favorite inspiration: eavesdropping.
Positive Motivation Tip: Sometimes, the best stories come from seemingly unlikely places. Stay Alert.

Something about that statue I find really interesting lol 🙂
Yes, it’s of a famous writer from Spain. 🙂
I’m going to look up more of his works 🙂
That’s a great idea. Then you can do a write up on him.
Will do my best 🙂
Okay dear one! 🙂
I love to sit and talk with friends over coffee. Or even just people watch.
Same here! While we are at it, we hear all sorts of crazy conversations. 😉
Great coffee-related quotes. I love how a cup of coffee can bring people together. I have listened in on conversations in a cafe, but usually not by choice. Sometimes, people talk way too loud in public.
That is so true… Sometimes we just can’t help it. 😉
I am pretty sure you would find me sitting on that guy’s lap.. lol nice Haiku! And Drink your coffee!
Thank you for the humor! LOL!
It’s always fun to take a peek into other peoples lives. It looks like a beautiful cafe!
Indeed it is… TY!
Ha ha ha, I need to eavesdrop more often, your post made me lol. Imagine what I could hear at the mall during Christmas shopping season.

Exactly! Go today and write about it. Hahaha!
I’ve definitely heard some snippets that have seemed wacky! It’s also really uncomfortable when a couple is fighting near you.
Oh yes! And then it gets scary when they start threatening each other… 🙂
Ahhhhhhh when I lived in FL every Sunday a friend and I would go to a cafe and enjoyed all the people watching! Listening to the things people talked about was always so fun and interesting lol
Yes, it can be hilarious… and sometimes sad. But always fascinating. 😉
Thanks for the good laugh. Once, I heard my 2 friends chatting at a cafe. It was hilarious
Glad you enjoyed it TY! 🙂
I love how you eavees drop on the other customers. I think that would be a great post haha.
Yes, I thought so too. 🙂
Great post! I also loved the Eliot quote at the beginning of the post.
I love the inspiration behind your words. You’re very inspiring.
Thank you Nina!
Ahhh, Cafe de Flore is gorgeous. Cafes are usually great places to hang out & well yeah, sometimes it’s fun to eavesdrop in conversations. But that isn’t intentional. You know how people sometimes tend to just talk a little louder when they’re talking to someone & you have no choice but to listen to them? Happens to me a lot.
Haha! True. Sometimes the eavesdropping is intentional when there’s a juicy story.
Did I reply to you? Yes, I agree but sometimes we can’t help it. 🙂
What a cool statue 🙂 I love the first picture of the man. Very cool and creative.
It is pretty cool. I love such smart placements.
Love Cafe de Flore, we had breakfast there when vacationing in Paris. Great post.
Love it too. Thank you!
Crazy conversations, what a brilliant idea!
Hahaha! I had such fun with it. 🙂
Cafes are also great places to hang out and eavesdrop on others. Airports are another of my favorites- usually lots of drama there!
Oh yeah, that’s another great place … but the security is tougher now so we can’t go hang out.
Awh when I saw the quote by T.S. Eliot it really took me back. I want to go read some of his poetry right now.
Go for it Fi Ni Hope the memories are good ones.
Love how you get inspired from words!
Thank you Sahana!
This looks like a fascinating cafe to go to . Great photos.
Visit it sometime. TY! 🙂
I just want to know where that gorgeous photo was taken!!
People’s voices are just so loud sometimes that you have no choice but to eavesdrop. LOL. Love the architecture of that cafe. Gorgeous!
Exactly! Thank you. 🙂
Great post. You are good with writing words. Love the photos.
Such beautiful haiku’s and the pictures are so nice!
I think I should go to a cafe in Paris stat to test your theory. Today’s hubby’s day off, I’m going to go tell him. Wish me luck. 😀 🙂 😉
Hahaha! All the best. You can go to a cafe anywhere and hear great conversations. 🙂
I am an eavesdropper. Can’t help it. Sometimes you hear some good stories.
Me too! 🙂
I just busted up laughing! I am so going into random places and eavesdropping! I’ve spent years trying to do the opposite. And I would literally get annoyed hearing gossip. (especially in the workplace)…Now I have a new perspective. I’m gong to embrace it! 😀
You’re my kind of gal. Thank you for getting the crazy humor. Hahaha! 😁
That photo was interesting.. haha! I never knew there was a cafe that has a statue being there lol.
Yep, it’s a great conversation starter. Ha! 😉
These are definitely some interesting conversations. I like that statue.
I love drinking coffee.. I don’t know but it makes me stress free 🙂
I once ears dropper on some strangers and found out they were discussing a guy from my class and its exactly what me and my friends where saying about this person cracked me up to hear it from somewhere else and not me and my girls
What a riot! I would find it weird to hear people talking about someone I know. Haha! 🙂
I love this post because I love coffee, beautiful pics and beautiful quotes. Thanks for sharing.
I’m glad to hear that you like coffee too. I’m a big fan of that dark magic.
I love to people watch and sit and visit with friends and family over coffee. What a beautiful patio.
I love these! Great snapshots of life.
I love this post! People watching is one of my favorite activities!
Thank you!
