Overheard secretsWhen I was a barman, I stood by polishing a glass as a couple had a hushed argument two feet away about what they were going to do now she was pregnant. The bloke promised to leave his wife, but subsequent hushed arguments revealed that he did not. What have you overheard?

Alfred HitchcockNot my story but...
Alfred Hitchcock was in London in the 70s scouting out locations with a couple of his assistants. They got into an elevator near the top of a posh hotel, there was a young couple already inside, by their bug eyes they'd obviously recognised the director.
As the lift descended everyone's looking up at the floor indicator and avoiding eye contact, as you do, when Hitchcock stage whispers to one of his people, "I didn't think the old man would bleed so much."
Cue another minute or so of *very* uncomfortable silence and when the doors opened the young couple legged it at a rapid rate of knots.
