No matter who you are or what you do, if you need to go somewhere by plane, you have to go to an airport. They can be one of the best places for people-watching — or, in this case, people-listening.
Twitter user BJ Colangelo was at the Cleveland airport on Halloween. She couldn't help but overhear an interesting conversation between the two women next to her at the bar.
While eavesdropping may be rude, the exchange is so entertaining that, by the end of this article, you will be thanking BJ for her acute listening skills.
The conversation involved two women who suspected their husbands, who are colleagues, are sleeping together.
If you're thinking that it sounds more like the plot of a TV show, you wouldn't be wrong. This just so happens to be the same premise for Netflix original show Grace and Frankie, starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin.
However, this time, the ladies at the Cleveland airport prove that truth is stranger than fiction.
When BJ first realized what was going on, she knew that she would have to share it on Twitter — all while keeping the identify of the women anonymous.
The women had never met before, which makes it even more interesting that they had the same hunch about their husbands.
How incredible is it that despite the sad situation, they've both found a silver lining in their new friendship?
Of course, this little piece of fatherly advice is good to share with just about anyone.
As with many things, often the hardest pill to swallow isn't the secret itself but that it was kept a secret.
It is clearly a tense time for these women, and what else is there to do at an airport bar other than drink?
…especially if you're about to ambush your cheating husbands.
Finally, the elephant in the airport bar is exposed. Their situation is exactly like the one in Grace and Frankie.
For reference, IMDb's synopsis says,
Finding out that their husbands are not just work partners, but have also been romantically involved for the last 20 years, two women with an already strained relationship try to cope with the circumstances together.
Just like the characters on the show, these women seem to have nothing else in common apart from their husbands' philandering yet still manage to form a bond.
While this may have happened fictionally before, these women probably aren't the first ones in real life it has actually happened to either.
They say it's all going to be OK in the end, and if it's not OK, it's not the end.
This may be an unlikely way to make a friend, but there's no bond like the one that follows a shared hardship.
We wish these women the best of luck on their quest and hope they found what they were (or weren't) looking for.
Be sure to SHARE this funny story with your friends and loved ones!
