Male Female

Okay, I always try to keep from listening to others' conversations. However, two weeks ago, I can still remember that time very well when this kind of situation took place. I was going to my university and was on public transport at the time. A woman was talking on the phone, and she was speaking very loudly and seemed very annoyed. I heard her conversation clearly; she was talking to someone who had borrowed money from her but hadn't returned it on time. Additionally, she said, 'Pay me back my money,' too loudly, and all the passengers in the public transport could hear her conversation clearly because it was really a noisy occasion for all of us. She displayed all her emotions, and in my opinion, it was a terrible and unforgettable experience in my life.
