How is it earwigging when two people in a room are having a conversation and a third in the vicinity hears it? I have ears, it's not like I can turn them off !

(Had to Google earwigging after I'd said it a few times in my head, starts to sound really wrong, like hippopotamus:D)

I was in a curtained cubicle at the outpatients dept. waiting to be seen and the woman beyond the curtain was getting her, ahem, ladyparts examined, I could hear every word, every intimate question and every answer the doc was asking this women, really, REALLY personal stuff about her sex life and all.
I felt embarrassed for her, however It didn't stop me listening.......because you bloody can't, unless you stick your fingers in your ears and go " La La La La La La", which would surely attract attention.
Really? I'd like some proof please.
It's just a proverb
CB Radio! Blimey!
That takes me back.
10/4 for a copy!
I know:) It's also silly:)
It's something we all do, all the time.
ETA: I allways thought CB radio was about one thing... Getting a shag.:D
I planted coke in their bags and reported it to my boss and got em sacked. Shame

Copy.
If that was the case boxx, I was really left wanting.
I've had that from a man in my office as well. He stands in front of you having a full on conversation at the top of his voice. Occassionally in his discussions he might mention something that is an issue I hve to pick up on in my jobs so after the conversations finished I will ask him about it. If it's a problem it would be stupid for me to sit there and pretend I hadn't heard it when I can sort it out.
And then he always accuses me of eavesdropping, earwigging, snooping, what ever. But he's literally standing five inches from me having a conversation at the top of his voice and I'm supposed to somehow make myself not hear him. He's a d*ckhead.
Erm so they were completely right to slag you of in the first place then?
Wha? This doesn't make a lot of sense.
yes it does. Read the post properly again
