Overheard in LA

Inane conversations happen every day, all around the world. They happen in cafes and bars, from Coachella to Whole Foods. But does a vegan even make a sound if no-one is around to DM it?

Enter comedy Instagram account Overheard LA, which valiantly documents real conversations overheard in Los Angeles. All the cultist lifestyle exchanges, green juice gossip, zen chakra chit chat, questionable parenting, and dating mishaps divulged offline while waiting in line. It’s literally every eccentricity that makes living in this city so special, condensed to bite-sized, sharable social media content.

Some posts might read as ridiculous or outrageous but its charm is that we all know someone like that… or, let’s be honest, are like that. Here are some choice cuts:
