I don't consider it eavesdropping when you are trapped in a situation were the other person can clearly see you. Add in the fact that the LW was paying to learn from the professor not listen to the other students gossip, the LW found an polite, nondisruptive way to tell the gossipers to be quiet.

Yep, this. He's a captive audience who needs to hear his professor, not chatty people discussing their friends.

I never understood how someone should be able to not listen if someone is talking right next to you, or is talking rather loudly.
