This is a question Stuff You've Overheard

Are you a nosey bastard who likes earwigging other peoples conversations? What's the best you've ever heard? From terrorist plots to intimate details of other peoples sex lives. We want to hear it all.

Portable Phones
My dads old portable radio used to tune a bit too far above the top of the dial, this meant that if you tuned right to the top of MW you could hear one of the frequencies used by the old analogue portable phones. Whats more this was one switch press of our local FM station

Much to my amusement it seemed that a family in the next road had their phone on this frequency. During my occasional eavesdropping (I was unemployed, living with my parents and bored) I normally got wa sable to hear the minuteai of family life being discussed, until one evening when the daughter of the house was having a conversation about how she was pregnant, but scared to tell her parents.

The pressure of being only 1 of 3 people who knew about this was too much and I never listened again
