    Not really. If you were discussing with somebody about some terminal illness you were raising money for and somebody approached and said: “Sorry, but I overheard what you said and I’d love to donate, if that’s okay” that would not be creepy in the slightest.

    There is a difference between ‘overhearing’ and ‘purposefully spying’

      Well, OP wasn’t donating money, was he?

      The scenario you brought up would be creepy too, but people tend to value money over the slight discomfort of creepiness.
