Not overheard as a professor, but years ago as a student.
Two girls behind me right before class started.
#1: What's wrong?
#2: Boyfriend and I are splitting.
#1: Oh, ma gaw! Why?
#2: Cheating.
#1: That's terrible! He's a dog! You don't deserve that treatment.
#2: I cheated on him.
#1: (tone changing from snarly to sympathetic) Oohh. I'm sure you guys can work through this...

overhead while walking across a very crowded and noisy quad: two girls, one apparently about to graduate:
"I like to eat and I like to f**k - why can't I get a job doing that?"
I tried but couldn't help turning my smirky-smirkerson her way, at which point her already amused companion caught sight me. I could hear graduating-girl's friend squealing with laughter all the way across the quad.

If you see her again, tell her I have some food over at my place. |

A couple of weeks ago I was taking the bus home when two of my students got on, and sat across from me without noticing me. One had taken a course from me the previous semester. The other had taken the same course, but failed and was back again for another round.
Yes, they started talking about my class.
The one who had failed was bitter about the restrictiveness of psychology. Because it's science and research, he said, it refuses to allow that there are other opinions out there that are just as valid. He feels it's his duty to stand up in class and challenge the system so I'm forced to confront my narrow world view.
At least now I know why he asks questions every 10 minutes or so.

Overheard between two of my students this morning:
Student A: "I think she's getting irritated with me."
Student B: "It's about time!"

One student whispering to another during last semester's course evaluations:
"What about this one about "Instructor shows up to class on time"? Prof TTH is always on time but I don't want to give her perfect because she never gives us 100% on our assignments. Something in the C range?"

And the powers-that-be wonder why we professors scoff at many aspects of student evaluations. This trade-off mentality would crack me up, if it didn't worry me so much. O. |

I heard this conversation while waiting outside my classroom on the first day:
1: So, why are YOU taking this class? You HATE politics!
2: I choose all my professors using on Ratemyprofessor.com. Profxfiles is supposed to be really funny AND he's HOT!
For the purposes of full disclosure, I may be funny, but I am in no way HOT. I do, however, have a "chili pepper" on ratemyprofessor as part of a prank played upon me my a bunch of graduating seniors...
#2 dropped after the first day--I guess being funny was not enough to keep her in the class... sigh...

Two girls walking down the hall; one girl currently enrolled in my class.
Girl 1: I wasn't trying to talk to him, I know you two are together.
Girl 2: Oh he's nothing, he's just my baby daddy.

Another couple of girls overheard today:
Girl 1: Like, I so totally don't know why the prof won't just add me, like I need this class to totally graduate.
Girl 2: I know, like it's so unfair that you missed the adding time and now he won't, like, just sign you in.
Girl 1: What an a$$hole, I'm a junior and should have priority to add this week, like I so don't want to use the stupid portal computer to add my classes.
Girl 2: Want to go get some lunch or find a computer?
Girl 1: Let's so get some lunch...
It was all I could do to not laugh out loud at them.
