Have you heard?

/

Overheard @ WLU has become a recent phenomenon for Laurier and university-wide students alike.

As part of this Facebook group, students subject themselves to constant updates of their peersโ€™ moments of stupidity. Over 4800 members are constantly joining in and submitting what they have โ€œoverheardโ€ on campus and where they have heard it, making this page hard to navigate away from.

So for your own enjoyment, I have selected a couple that gave me a good laugh to give you a taste of why you should joinโ€ฆ

Overheard girl talking on a cell phone on campus:
Girl: โ€œLast night I legit dropped my phone in the toilet, but I got it out and it still works.โ€

Overheard people studying in the library:
Girl: โ€œUGHHH, why can’t STUDYING be more like SEXโ€
Guy: โ€œWhat are TALKING ABOUT?! Studying is JUST LIKE SEX!โ€
Girl: ……..
Guy: โ€œYou work really hard at it, are up late doing it, feels good when you’re done it, and couldn’t get through University without it!โ€

Overheard in a washroom:
Girl 1: โ€œOmg! My pee smells like popcorn!โ€
Girl 2: โ€œReally? Omg so does mine!โ€

Overheard at 1:30am while walking home after a few drinks:
Girl: โ€œOmg look a raccoon!โ€
Boy: โ€œItโ€™s not a raccoon, itโ€™s a catโ€
Girl: โ€œAw man I wish it was a raccoonโ€
Boy: โ€œWhy there is like a 68% chance it has rabiesโ€
Girl: โ€œWell itโ€™s not like Iโ€™m going to bite itโ€

While it may be amusing to hear it yourself and read what others have to say, imagine looking at the page mortified one day to discover a blunder you made. Yet donโ€™t let it make you believe it is making anyone censor their words more, for there seems to be endless amounts of slip-ups on the page in continuous supply.

To those listening, keep sharing, and to those speaking these moments of stupidity, all I can say is at least you are entertaining.
