Does it annoy you when people eavesdrop on your conversations?
Q. Say you are somewhere and someone is talking to you, everyone strains their ears to hear and turns around to look. Does this annoy you? Does it also annoy you when people put their 2 cents worth in to the conversation when you were not talking to them? How can you make sure this does not happen?

A. No, not really. Keep your voices to a low roar and make sure you're nowhere near a group of people or sitting close to someone on a train or bus that can easily overhear you. If people put in their two cents worth, it is because you are talking loud enough for them to hear and they can't HELP but listen. They may not be doing it on purpose. It's just the proximity of you and the other people/person.

Q. Why is it illegal in Louisiana to eavesdrop on your own conversation?

A. It's not illegal to hear yourself, but it is illegal to eavesdrop on the person to whom you're speaking. You have to inform the other person that you're listening to them or recording them, and if you don't, it's illegal. The rules are changed when law enforcement gets involved, in which case the law can eavesdrop if only one party to the conversation consents to the eavesdropping.
