Whenever the opportunity presents itself, I'll eavesdrop. On the bus, the airplane, in line — I just love overhearing what other people are talking about! Since I'm so fascinated by people, it's a perfect way to get a glimpse inside the lives of others without being creepy or stalkerish.

It starts out fairly normal: she wants to read, he wants to watch television, and they're bickering over the TV volume. But this infomercial takes a turn for the creepy when she uses the advertised hearing aid device to listen in on conversations had across the street and some other dude uses it to hear what the girls are saying about him at the gym. You know what they say: sex insecurity sells.
