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.

I agree, a lot.

MerryCat:
I love that! I know it's rude to let on that you're evesdropping, but on the other hand those girls were disrupting the poster's ability to study in a class they paid for.

Audrey Quest:
I don't consider it evesdropping.  These girls shouldn't be talking in a public place where they are supposed to be quiet. They have no right to expect that other people will not listen to what they are saying.
 
If someone is having a private conversation, yeah, you shouldn't listen in.  But, when you have no choice?

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