30 Overheard Conversations On Wall Street That Are Too Hilarious To Ignore

"The 'h' in 'Investment Banking' stands for happiness."

We all love to eavesdrop on conversations that others are having, and we especially enjoy laughing at the ridiculous things we overhear on the streets, whether in Los Angeles, Paris, or London. Living in the busiest cities has its pros and cons, but one thing you won't miss every time you're out in the hustle and bustle is the number of hilarious conversations you overhear from others, whether they are on the phone or talking personally with someone else while rushing through the busy atmosphere. As Gretchen Rubin, a happiness researcher, states, "The atmosphere of a city can inspire creativity and humor, especially in unexpected moments." Close your eyes and try to imagine living in New York, where diversity is at its peak. From political discourses to discussions about the economy and culture, you're sure to hear some pretty interesting statements from the people in such a large and well-known city around the world. That being said, Wall Street is probably one of the busiest places here. Located in lower Manhattan, it serves as the main street for the city's Financial District, where the New York Stock Exchange is situated. There's even a popular social media account dedicated to capturing these moments. As Suze Orman, a financial advisor, notes, "The conversations on Wall Street are a reflection of the market's energy, often infused with wit and wisdom." Take a look at some of their posts below!
