Anyone who's been out and about in Dublin will know there are some very interesting characters out there, to say the least. You don't even have to be eavesdropping to overhear confessions, secrets, lies and straight-up gas banter - you could be on a bus, the Luas or the DART, or even at Penneys.
Here's some of greatest things ever overheard in Dubs.
