30 of the Funniest Conversations Overheard on a Plane

Planes are one of the best places to eavesdrop. You’ll never be disappointed by listening in on a bickering couple or straining to hear what a kid is mumbling under his breath. Take, for example, the Redditor who overheard two fellow passengers arguing about the correct way to eat pizza with chopsticks. Depending on the length of your flight, that topic could keep your thoughts occupied until you land. 

To that end, Redditors have collectively chuckled about the funniest conversations they’ve overheard on a plane, and if you’re ever disappointed by the choice of in-flight entertainment, just take off your headphones and listen to the voices around you.
